Much: ...in fact, I can feel a song coming on...
Robin Hood: No, no song! Absolutely no song!
Much: It would be a cheery song
Robin Hood: ...and it would be a tragedy too... A tragedy for you to have survived the Turk, and made it within a few miles of Locksley, only to be killed by your own master!
Much: You know it is lucky I do not readily take offense... a smaller man would be offended... a smaller man would be wounded.
Robin Hood: ...and a cleverer man would sing fewer songs!

Djaq: No, they're intelligent. Bats make noises you cannot hear.
Allan A Dale: What's the point of that? Noises you can't hear?
Much: What if there was a noise nobody could hear? And then if you were the only person in the world who could hear it. Because I am that person. To see sense where others see nonsense. Just like the bat. I take it back. I like the bat! The bat is my friend. The bat understands me.
