Robin Hood Sketch

ROBIN HOOD SKETCH
=================

EXT. SHERWOOD FOREST. MIDDLE AGES.

AN IMPOVERISHED PEASANT COUPLE STAND OUTSIDE THEIR HOVEL WITH THEIR TWO GRUBBY CHILDREN. A BEAMING ROBIN HOOD (GREEN TUNIC, FEATHER CAP, ETC) RIDES UP AND THROWS DOWN A SACK OF FOOD AND A SMALL PURSE OF MONEY.

ROBIN HOOD: You shall eat well tonight, good, honest folk.

ROBIN WAVES MERRILY AND RIDES OFF. THE COUPLE SHOUT AFTER HIM.

WOMAN: God Bless You, Robin Hood.

MAN: You're a legend!

(BEAT) and then i got it ! Like it.

It took me a while to grasp this, such is the effect of slang on my vocabulary.

On the fourth second, however, I laughed heartily and lungily.
