Robin Hood, Series 3 (2009)

Sheriff:
So, Prince John sent you back to Nottingham with a mission, and yet nobody saw fit to tell me. The last time I checked, I was still the Sheriff.

Gisborne:
The Prince is still waiting for his thousand crowns. His patience wears thin.

Sheriff:
As indeed does mine. What's the mission?

Gisborne:
He wants me to kill Robin Hood.

Sheriff:
[chuckles] I'm sure he does! But you've, err... you've never managed it before, Gisborne, hm? Although you did once have him at your sword point, and yet still he bested you!

Gisborne:
Well, this time it will be different. This time I will command the mission without incompetent, illconceived interference from others.

Sheriff:
[smugly] No. You will fail, like you've always failed before, and then you will come back and beg me for my patronage!
