Robin Hood, Series 2 (2007)

[Much walks in on Joseph cooking and who is about to add poison]

Much:
[smells the soup] Mmm, smells good. Are you a cook?

Joseph:
No, I'm a man of science.

Much:
Science? What, er, what sort of science?

Joseph:
The science of elimination.

Much:
What's that?

Joseph:
Finding ways to get rid of dirt. Have you noticed there's dirt everywhere? We have to get rid of it. And there are people who will make the necessary difficult decisions. Who don't need to be...popular.

Much:
I think you should talk to the Sheriff. He doesn't need to be popular.

Joseph:
With the right tool, we can clean this country. Create a new England.

[Pause]

Much:
I think you should definitely talk to the Sheriff. [chuckles]

[Joseph pats him]
