Movie Quote Quiz

Robin Hood: For my first order of business, I wish to appoint a new Sheriff of Rottingham. My friend, Achoo.
Achoo: All right.
Crowd: A black sheriff?
Blinkin: He's black?
Achoo: And why not? It worked in Blazing Saddles.

King Richard: You are no longer worthy to wear this scared symbol of authority.
Prince John: Oh, please have mercy on me, brother. It wasn't my fault. I got some really bad advice from Rottingham.
Crowd: [coughing] Bullshit! Bullshit!
King Richard: Brother, you have surrounded your given name with a foul stench. From this day forth, all the toilets in the kingdom shall be known as...Johns.
Prince John: NOOOOOOOOO!
King Richard: Take him away. Put him in the Tower of London. Make him part of the tour.

Sheriff of Rottingham: I was angry at you before, Loxley. But now, I'm really pissed off.
Achoo: Pissed off? If I was that close to a horse's wiener I'd be worried about getting pissed on.

Prince John: Such an unusual name, "Latrine." How did your family come by it?
Latrine: We changed it in the ninth century.
Prince John: You mean you changed it to "Latrine"?
Latrine: Yeah. It used to be "Shithouse."

Sheriff of Rottingham: Well, I must say Prince John has spared no expense with such a nice party. We have exotic foods from across the seas. Coconuts, bananas and dates. Would you care for a date?
Maid Marian: Oh, yes, thank you.
Sheriff of Rottingham: How about next Thursday?

Robin Hood: Blinkin, listen to me. They've taken the castle.

Robin Hood: I owe you a great debt of gratitude, my friend. I am called Robin of Loxley.
Asneeze: My name is Asneeze. Father of Achoo.
Robin Hood: Bless you.
Asneeze: No, no, no, no, no. Achoo is my son. He's in England. Your country. He's an exchange student. I'd like you to look after him. He's in need of guidance. He is headstrong and cocksure. Or is it the other way around?

Prince John: Send word to one and all and all and one. That's a little redundant isn't it?
Royal Announcer: What?
Prince John: Shut up! Let everybody know before the day's out, we're gonna have a wedding. Or a hanging. Either way we oughta have a lot of fun, huh?

[Blinkin has snatched an arrow from mid-air as it's about to hit Robin.]
Achoo: How did you do that?
Blinkin: I heard that coming a mile away.
Robin Hood: Very good, Blinkin. Well done.
Blinkin: Pardon? Who's talking?

Robin Hood: Darling, what are you doing here?
Maid Marian: I've come to warn you. Prince John and the sheriff have hired murderers to kill you at the fair tomorrow. You mustn't go.
Robin Hood: But, that's easy. I won't.
Maid Marian: Oh, I'm so happy. They were going to try to lure you there by having an archery contest.

Robin Hood: Alright. I promise you won't go.
Maid Marian: Oh, thank you.

Robin Hood: Is it not also illegal to sit in the king's throne and usurp his power in his absence?
Prince John: Careful, Robin. You go too far.
Robin Hood: I've only just begun. I've come to warn you, that if you don't stop levying these evil taxes, I shall lead the good people of England in a revolt against you.
Prince John: And why should the people listen to you?
Robin Hood: Because, unlike some other Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent.

Prison guard: Where is your king?
Robin Hood: King? Which king would that be? King Louie? King Richard? King Kong? Larry King?

Question: When Abbot is walking down the aisle at the wedding, everyone says "Good morrow Abbot", but one guys says "Hey Abbot!" and Abbot says "I hate that guy!" Is this a reference to something? I never got the joke.

Carl Missouri

Chosen answer: The scene is an homage to the late, great comedy team, Abbott and Costello. Bud Abbott was the straight man and Lou Costello was the goofy laugh-getter. Part of their act was Costello getting frustrated trying to understand Abbott and yelling "hey Abbott" at him.
