Scenes with Robin 3

You're not serious.

RRobin

[amused] I'm many things, sir, but I'm never that. Robin Hood laughs in the face of all. Ha ha ha!

And do people ever punch you in the face when you do that?

RRobin

Not as yet.

Lucky I'm here, then, isn't it?

Listen to me. It doesn't have to end like this. Shut it all down, return Clara to me and I'll do what I can.

SNSheriff of Nottingham

I don't have Clara.

Robin's one of yours.

SNSheriff of Nottingham

What did you say?

He's one of your tin-headed puppets, just like these brutes here.

SNSheriff of Nottingham

Robin Hood is not one of mine.

Of course he is. He's a robot, created by your mechanical mates.

SNSheriff of Nottingham

Why would they do that?

To pacify the locals, give them false hope. He's the opiate of the masses.

SNSheriff of Nottingham

[scoffs] Why would we create an enemy to fight us? What sense would that make? That would be a terrible idea.

Yes! [frowns, considering this] Yes, it would… Wouldn't it? Yes, that would be a rubbish idea! Why would you do that? [stops] But he can't be… He's not real… He's a legend!

RRobin

Too kind! And this legend does not come alone. (Clara pops up next to him and waves)

Hiya!

RRobin

So, is it true, Doctor?

Is what true?

RRobin

That in the future I am forgotten as a real man. I am but a legend.

I'm afraid it is.

RRobin

Hmm… Good. History is a burden. Stories can make us fly.

I'm still having a little trouble believing yours, I'm afraid.

RRobin

Is it so hard to credit? That a man born into wealth and privilege should find the plight of the oppressed and weak too much to bear--

Enough.

RRobin

-- until one night he is moved to steal a TARDIS? Fly among the stars, fighting the good fight? Clara told me your stories.

[irritated] She should not have told you any of that.

RRobin

[amused] Well, once the story started, she could hardly stop herself. You are her hero, I think.

I'm not a hero.

RRobin

Well, neither am I. But if we both keep pretending to be — ha ha — perhaps others will be heroes in our name. Perhaps we will both be stories. And may those stories never end. [they shake hands] Goodbye, Doctor, Time Lord of Gallifrey.

Goodbye, Robin Hood, Earl of Loxley.

RRobin

And remember, Doctor… I'm just as real as you are.
