Among them is a limping beggar with an eye patch. N3: In Nottingham Town, cheers swell as archers stream onto the field. N3: Lady Marian glances back at Robin as she rides off. Robin: Please allow my men to escort you to the road. If you truly had but three, we would have taken nothing. He finds a pouch and pours out hundreds of coins. N3: Friar Tuck searches Sir Guy’s saddlebag. Guy: Very well, but I have only three gold coins. Will: Think of it as a tax for coming through our forest. Guy: Why should I pay for a meal you forced me to eat? Will: Before you go, Sir Guy, we ask a small donation for the meal we have given you.

Guy: He stole from the Bishop of Hereford, taking his money and his clothes!
