Robin Hood, Series 3 (2009)

Bertha:
If I didn't do what the Sheriff told me, he was going to kill us all!

Sheriff:
What an excellent idea! [his guards arrest Bertha] So exactly how far did you think you'd get, Bertha? We had a deal.

John:
The deal is off. You do not touch those children.

Sheriff:
No, no, I just want the money from the wagers. She's welcome to the slaving money.

John:
What?!

Sheriff:
Oh, I suppose she told you that she took the children off the streets out of the goodness of her heart? [chuckles]

Bertha:
Look at them. They're healthy and well-fed--

Sheriff:
Healthier children fetch a bigger price! She's been doing it for years - taking waifs and strays off the streets, fattening them up and then selling them on at the end of the season.

John:
Have you?

Sheriff:
Yes. Not this year, though. [chuckles] Take her to the dungeons. [points to the boys] Oh, and, err, arrest those.

John:
[ready to fight] LEAVE... THEM... BE!

Sheriff:
[walking away, bored] Somebody kill that man.
