The thing I noticed while flipping though last night is that virtually all of the Merry Men joined the band after first beating Robin in a fight. Little John beat him. Will beat him. Friar Tuck beat him. Robin is lucky to have survived.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Well, you know, back then, somebody didn't have to get beat into the ground to be "beaten," or bested. A couple raps on the knuckles with a quarterstaff, a lucky punch to the schnozz, and Hi there! Want to be a Merry Man?
Or, I suppose in the latter case, "Hi dere! Wahd do be uh berry bad?"

It's from a training session scene in Fray.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm picturing Daffy Duck as Robin Hood now.

Gah! I couldn't remember it ... I was thinking, did Faith have a rough training session with one of her watchers? Why can't I remember it? My mind went to Faith, not Fray. At least I got training session right. Someone has my Fray set. I should get it back sometime.

heee. Nice touch. Robin McKinley has a running bit about that in Outlaws of Sherwood, in that Robin is generally considered to be the worst archer of all of them, and the one who wins the big prize at the Nottingham fair is actually Marian.
In Robin of Sherwood, the introduction of Jason Connery as Robert of Huntingdon, aka Robin Hood Take Two, involves a fabulously funny drunken battle with Will Scarlet all through a bar in Lichfield.
In RoS, btw, Will Scarlet is anything but a nobleman: he's a former soldier who gets thrown in jail for killing the Normans who raped and murdered his wife. He's basically psychotic -- which works perfectly, given that he's played by Ray Winstone.
