Scenes with Robin Hood 188
What if the King's moved on? What if he isn't in Acre?
RobinWell, then we go to Djaq's uncle's friend.
I'm going to go and check, okay?
Robin
Alright.
[Djaq leaves]
[Much sits down and takes off his shoe]
What does Bassam do, then?
[Much tips his shoe over, getting sand out]
The pigeon handler. Remember Lardner?
Oh, the pigeon that the Sheriff killed with his buzzard.
Ah, that's what you think.
[Little John laughs]
[Allan smiles]
Oh, ho, ho. You're joking. Nice one. So you got a message to the King in the end, yeah?
Yeah. Well, no thanks to you.
Look, I've told you a thousand times, I'm sorry, boys, alright? I'm back now, I'm one of the lads, let's just...
Now, hands up, who hasn't betrayed the group?
[Much raises his hand, then Will then Little John]
Oh. This one again. How clever.
Robin
Just leave it, Much, eh?
Robin
We're here to find the King.
[Djaq returns]
Robin
And Marian.
Can I ask you something? Being back here... in the Holy Land... do you feel funny? 'Cause I feel funny. We're the enemy again.
[The camera tracks down to a barred window]
I mean, if they knew we were English...
[Cut to inside the room - Marian is sitting on the bed]
[Much and Robin's voices echo]
[Echoing] If we don't find Marian... [Marian rolls her eyes] Marian. Marian. Marian. Marian.
[Cut to Much and Robin]
If we don't find Marian...
Robin
We will find Marian.
[On hearing his name, Marian quickly runs over to the barred window - but her shackles pull her back. As she turns to try to get it off, Robin and Much run over to Djaq. Marian stands on a barrel and looks out the window. She sighs and gets off the barrel]
Get a grip, Marian. Robin's dead.
[The gang have arrived at the King's camp]
Robin
[To a guard] I'm Robin of Locksley and these are my friends. The King's loyal subjects.
More than that. My master and I served in his private guard.
Robin
We have urgent business with the King.
[The guard walks away]
Saving his life, actually.
[The gang walk through the camp, making their way to the King's tent]
John, look. [He points to the King's tent] [Shouting] The King's tent! Ut Prosim! Our motto. Latin.
[Much shakes his head. Robin picks up his pace and walks next to Much]
[Robin nods]
Good days. Well, not good.[Robin smiles] Death, destruction, all that, y'know. But... Ut Prosim, lads.
[Carter runs down the hill]
Robin
Carter!
[Robin runs over to Carter, he laughs and they hug]
Robin
I thought you'd given up fighting.
[Carter walks over to Much]
I'm still fighting. But for peace.
[Carter shakes Much's hands and nods at him]
[King Richard has decided to have the gang executed]
Mercy, your majesty! Ut Prosim!
Robin
Your majesty, these people are innocent. If you must take a life, take mine. Spare them.
At last. That's the Robin I remember - considering others.
He is still the Robin you remember.
He saved your life! Don't you remember that?!
[Pause. Richard walks up to Robin]
Robin
I cannot grant your wish. You must all be punished. But you once saved my life and no I have not forgotten that. So I'll not take yours. [Loudly, to everyone] I'll let the desert decide!
[Richard walks away]
[To Robin] The desert? What does that mean? [To Richard, loudly] Decide what?!
[Cut to next scene - the gang are tied by ropes to wooden stands in the middle of the desert]
Robin
Hey, John! You're dying for England. Even if you're not there.
[Quietly] I'm not being funny...it's the King of England who put us here in the first place!
Robin
The Sheriff spun him a story! The moment we came here, we were marked men. [Emotionally] It's not the King's fault!
[Pause]
Well, say the words then, handsome.
Robin
What words?
"I, Robin, take you, Marian..."
Robin
Now?
Now is a good time, I think. We are in the company of the best witnesses England has to offer.
[Much nods, Marian looks at him and smiles]
Robin
I, Robin, take you, Marian, to be my lawful wedded wife. [Marian smiles] To have and to hold. For better or for worse. For richer or for poorer...
[Pause]
[Much starts sobbing]
Robin
In sickness or in health. [Pause. Robin sighs] To love and to cherish. [Pause] Til death do us part.
I, Marian take you, Robin of Locksley, master of the bow, champion of the poor, and Lord of my heart, to be my lawful wedded husband. I promise to love and to cherish you, for better or for worse from this day forward as long as we both shall live.
[Marian looks at Much and laughs]
[Much shakes his head and whimpers]
He's not crying. He's laughing on the wrong side of his face.
Robin
Carter!
[Everyone then shouts "Carter!" and laughs]
Robin
I thought we lost you.
Sorry. [He walks over to Little John and cuts him free from the rope] Out here you can lose your head.
[Carter gives Little John the knife and Little John walks over to Much and starts to cut the ropes. Carter walks over to Robin]
Ho! I thought I didn't like you!
[Little John unties him and Much falls down]
[Carter cuts Robin free]
[To Carter] Come on. We are Robin Hood.
[Everyone gathers in a circle, with Little John in the middle. Much and Marian drink water]
Robin
We'll explain later.
No. Everybody say it. [Emphasising the syllables with his hand to Carter] We... are Robin Hood. SAY IT!
LJLittle John, Much, Allan, Will, Djaq, Robin
We are Robin Hood!
Robin
[shouting] It's over! Robin Hood is finished!
Robin
He died in the Holy Land...with Marian. All I have left is vengeance.
Robin
You are going to pay for what you did.
No, it was you, you forced me to.
Robin
You murdered her! She didn't love you, you couldn't have her.
She should have been mine!
Robin
[shouting] She was my wife!
[They tackle each other and begin fighting]
[After witnessing Gisborne ransacking Locksley]
Every day it gets worse. Injustice, cruelty, corruption...these people suffer and they starve. And you'll abandon them? [Robin walks away] Robin! Where are you going?
Robin
I can't help them. I have nothing else to give.
You will believe in yourself again, I know it.
Robin
[angry] I struggled, I fought, I gave everything I had! I even gave the life of the woman I love! Why are you doing this?! Why does it matter so much to you!?
Because I have nothing in my life but my God and my country. I have no family, no wife, but I have a full heart, and passion must go somewhere, Robin.
[Hood is revealed to still be alive]
You see, the sun emerges again, like England's protector - his journey is complete. He appears into the light and he will save you. He has returned. The legend is alive!
JJasper
[sarcastic and angry] Surprise, surprise!
[to Gisborne] YOU INCOMPETENT... FOOL!!!
NOOOOOOO! [Robin pins Gisborne and Vaisey to the wall with arrows]
Robin
I am Robin Hood, your humble servant! It is for you that I live to fight the evil that chokes this country! No longer shall we live in fear and darkness! We must stand together! Only then will the sun rise on this country, our England ONCE MORE!
[Robin has Gisborne at knife point, about to kill him]
[begging] Do it! End it, please!
Robin
[shocked] You want this?!
Robin
Then stay there!
[he cuts Gisborne's cheek]
You should have killed me when you had the chance. I'm gonna make you suffer before you die.
Robin
Just like you're suffering now, Gisborne? You can kill me a hundred times over, but the pain you're feeling, the hatred, the self-loathing, that's never going to go away! [Gisborne hits him out of rage] You'll never hate me as much as you hate yourself!
[Gisborne unsheathes his sword]
[After Robin, John and the others save the children from Bertha]
Robin
It isn't safe for children in Nottingham!
So says the outlaw! But for once, I am pleased to see you, Hood. It means that Gisborne has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory once again!
Prince John and his soldiers have made camp down there.
Robin Hood
What? How many men has he got?
I didn't stop and actually count them! I can't actually count!
Robin
[fighting with Gisborne] You kill my wife, and you expect forgiveness?!
I loved her as you loved her!
[Robin punches him and they continue fighting. Gisborne has the upper hand and has his hands around Robin's neck]
I'll never ask for your forgiveness.
[Robin hits him and Gisborne falls to the floor. Robin grabs him]
Robin
[shocked] What?!
[The gang arrive and Much fires an arrow at Gisborne]
Robin
Gisborne!
[Robin knocks him out of the way]
