(I assume your quote is referencing my favorite exchange from an otherwise very forgettable version of Robin Hood.)
Uuuumm… No idea, actually. I only remember the reference, not the source.
The quote is from the 1991 movie Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. The exchange goes like this:
Sheriff of Nottingham: Locksley! When I get my hands on you, I'm going to carve your heart out with a spoon!
Guy of Gisborne: Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?
Sheriff of Nottingham: Because it's DULL, you twit. It'll hurt more.
Alan Rickman is great as the Sheriff of Nottingham.
