Little John: Don't you worry, never fear, Ro...
Bugs Bunny: Yeah, I know, Robin Hood will soon be here. He robs from the rich and he gives to the poor. Yoho, he goes skipping, tra-la, through Sherwood Forest, helping the needy and the oppressed. Ah, you've been saying that throught the whole picture! Well, where is he?
Little John: Aw, you should not talk mean like that, because there he is.
Robin Hood: [Appears in live-action] Welcome to Sherwood.
Bugs Bunny: [pause] Naw, that's silly. It couldn't be him.

Sheriff of Nottingham: Ooh! I shall probably hateth myself cometh the dawn. Where, liar?
[He turns around and sees Bugs dressed as a trumpeter; he sounds a fanfare and exits; returns dressed as a herald]
Bugs Bunny: Presenting His Most Royal Majesty, the King!
[exits; a carpet rolls out to the Sheriff's feet; and in the end is Bugs dressed as the King]
Sheriff of Nottingham: The King! Your Majesty.
Bugs Bunny: Sheriff of Nottingham, in gratitude for you faithful service, I shall knight thee.
Sheriff of Nottingham: Your Most Gracious Majesty.
Bugs Bunny: In the name of My Most Royal Majesty, I knight thee.
[Conks the Sheriff on the head with his scepter]
Bugs Bunny: Arise, Sir Loin of Beef.
[Conks him again]

Bugs Bunny: ... Milk of Magnesia,
[Conk]
Bugs Bunny: ... Quarter of Ten.
Sheriff of Nottingham: [Dazed] You are too kind, Your Majesty.
Bugs Bunny: [Aside] Got lots of stamina.
Sheriff of Nottingham: London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down... London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down... London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down...
[Falls on a cake Bugs was baking while the Sheriff was singing]

Sheriff of Nottingham: [Bugs runs into the King's Royal Rose Gardens] Stop! Stop! You can't go in there! You're not allowed in there! This is the King's private garden! You're standing on royal ground!
Bugs Bunny: Royal ground? You mean to say that this ground is better than that ground over there?
Sheriff of Nottingham: Yes, it is.
Bugs Bunny: Oh, I don't know. Now, you take this piece of ground over here. Now here's a nice piece of property. Level, fruit trees, choice view, improvements already in. Eh, what type of house was you planning?
Sheriff of Nottingham: Well, I... I sort of had a six-room Tudor in mind.
Bugs Bunny: Then this is the just the place for you, and it's priced just right. But, uh, first, uh... Are you a veteran?
Sheriff of Nottingham: No, I'm a...
Bugs Bunny: Good, then it'll be easy. Here, just sign on the dotted line.
Sheriff of Nottingham: Well, uh... couldn't I call you later? You see, I...
Bugs Bunny: Well, I don't know. You see, there was a couple here from Kansas City looking at this place this morning, and they...
Sheriff of Nottingham: All right! I'll sign! I'll sign! Here!
Bugs Bunny: You'll never regret it, my friend. This place will double in value inside six months.
[Cut to the Sheriff working on a half-finished house in the Gardens when he suddenly realizes what has happened]
Sheriff of Nottingham: Ooh! I hate myself! I do! I do! I do!...

Sheriff of Nottingham: It's the rack for you, me long-eared fellow. The King shall indeed be proud of me.
Bugs Bunny: King? Lo, the King approacheth!
Sheriff of Nottingham: The King? Where? Where?
Bugs Bunny: There, there, o'er yon flowered bank!
Sheriff of Nottingham: [Bowing] Your Majesty.
[Bugs hits the sheriff over the head with a club; little kings run around his head]
Sheriff of Nottingham: Ods fish! The very air abounds in kings.

Little John: Don't you worry, never fear. Robin Hood will soon be here.
[Blows fanfare on bugle and stands at attention]
Bugs Bunny: Yeah, Mr. Wise Guy. Now you're gonna get it. Robin Hood'll fix you, brother.
[after a long pause, Little John looks to the distance, shrugs his shoulders and leaves]
Bugs Bunny: Eh, where was we?
