Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

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.
I don't know what it's from, DX, but I'm laughing anyway. Hee!

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.

virtually all of the Merry Men joined the band after first beating Robin in a fight
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.

Daffy Duck as Robin Hood now.
"Duck, turn, dodge, parry....don't tell nobody, but it's actually a buck-and-a-quarter staff."
'Suela, I can't remember if Carpenter wrote Scarlet against type, or auditioned Winstone for any of the merries, and rewrote Scarlet for him. In any case, RoS's Scarlet is definitely against the type all the legends and ballads described Scarlet.
RoS's Alan a' Dale was quite different, too. In that A) he wasn't a member of the band, and 2) he couldn't actually sing. Whereas Clive Mantle (John) was a chorister with either Cambridge or Oxford, and Mark, Phil, and Michael all sang well, too.
