Scenes with Robin Hood 188
[After Robin and his gang had stolen everything from George they go through the forest and immediately they see some villages that were going to whip some men.]
RobinOi! Stop! Megan, what are you doing?
MMegan
We're going to give these a good horse whipping.
Robin
Why?
MMegan
He stole this. (shows Robin a necklace) My mother gave it to me on my wedding day. It's the only thing of value I own.
You touch us and you'll be in big trouble. We are Robin Hood's men!
[Robin looks to Much, confused.]
[Cut to the cart - Allan and Djaq are trying on the jewellery that Lucky George has taken]
Let's see you wear a dress.
Robin Hood could swing out these trees any time and bash your brains out!
[Allan listens to the voice]
Or...are you afraid of looking too pretty?
Oh, surely Robin Hood couldn't take on all of us.
Robin wouldn't be scared of you. You're girls compared to him and his men!
[Allan reaches the others.]
[Allan hits Tom into the face and grabs his jacket.]
My purse, my sword, my horse.
I can explain. My nose! What kind of thing is that to do to a brother? Is it broken?
If you touch me again Robin will string you up on the tallest oak in Sherwood Forest!
This is Robin Hood, you idiot!
[angrily] What are you doing?! [hits Tom after he has tried to rob from Knighton Hall] [walks to Edward and Marian.] I am so sorry.
These men were robbing our house.
Yes, we were robbing his house. That's what we do. We're trying to show the top man what we can do.
[angrily] These people are our friends!
Now you tell me. I thought they were...
You don't think. You can't think. [he hits Tom again]
Robin
Are you hurt?
Only my pride. These are your men?
Robin
Not for much longer. I promise. [walks up to Tom] Apologise. Apologise for the disturbance. NOW!
Do as you're told. [he hits Tom again]
[Robin looks at Allan]
[Tom walks up to Edward and Marian followed by Robin and Allan]
Robin
Louder.
Robin
I knew nothing about this. They will be punished, you have my word.
Robin
Just take them away!
Robin
You know I said you should make up with your brother?
Robin
I've changed my mind.
He was just trying to impress you. He didn't know who he was robbing. It was just a big house. He doesn't think. I know, I've tried to help him. But, you shouldn't have to trust them, you should trust me. I should have kept a closer eye on him.
Robin
Yes! You should have!
Look, I was like him once. Out of control. But I changed. Because of you, because of being here. If you could just give him a second chance.
Robin
He's already had a second chance!
But to be with us. Around decent men. He could change. And you wouldn't have to worry about them. If I took control, properly, he could change.
Robin
He stole from you, and you still defend him.
[throws his hands up] He's my brother.
Robin
One more chance.
[He walks over to Tom and Tom's friends]
[Next scene - daytime - Allan is asleep. Much kicks him]
[He kicks him again]
[Will arrives]
And they've taken everything.
[Robin arrives]
Robin
Clothes, money, horses.
I'll kill him. I'm gonna kill him. Bury him, dig him up and kill him again.
[Allan looks sombre]
They have lied to us, stolen from us. They're nothing but trouble.
[Much and Allan look at John. Pause]
Robin
You do?
My brother's had more chances than he deserves.
Robin
Does he deserve to die?
Do we? We go to Nottingham, we'll end up joining him on the scaffold.
They took some of our tags. The Sheriff's crowing. Thinks he's got Robin Hood's men. Now it's like he's daring us to rescue them.
My brother was never part of this gang, was he? We trusted him and he let us down. That's it. We'll be fool to walk into a trap for them. Does anyone disagree with me?
[No-one says anything]
Robin
Nothing.
Robin
No! It's just the way my eyes were pointing.
You are a good man, Robin. Nothing will change that.
[Robin tries to kiss Marian. She smiles and playfully stops him]
That won't help you make your decision.
Robin
It might.
[Robin has stated that they are going to Nottingham to rescue Tom and his men]
Master, surely, why are we...?
Robin
For family! For Allan's brother. We do not let the Sheriff hang our family. No matter how unreliable they may be.
Robin...god bless you, my friends.
Robin
Don't mention it, my friend.
Robin Hood
We have many problems. Most of them guard-shaped.
[After Robin has awoken from his nightmare about the Saracen attack in Acre]
[Robin sighs and nods]
Robin
Yes.
It's his birthday today. The king.
[after Robin decides on a risky plan] There is something wrong with you.
Robin Hood
[grinning] Mmm-hmm.
[Much smiles]
[The gang except Djaq interrupt Robin's attempt to kill Gisborne]
No! Killing we do not do.
He's right. At least that's what you taught us.
We do not take part in bloodshed...unless absolutely necessary.
[Allan shrugs in agreement]
[Robin yields, but punches Gisborne, knocking him out]
Robin
That was necessary.
[Little John nods in agreement]
[Robin wakes up tied to a tree after John has knocked him out after Robin tried to kill Gisborne. Much is guarding him. Much smiles]
Sorry. This is difficult.
Robin
Untie me.
That's...that's the difficult bit. Now, John said...Little John said. I think we should wait until they get back. Do you want some water?
Robin
Much! Untie me. Now!
I knew this would happen.
Robin
That man betrayed England. The slaughter in the Holy Land continues because of him. The others would not understand.
Then you must make them understand.
Robin
Exactly. I need to talk to him. And I cannot do that tied to a tree. Just untie me.
You promise me? Because earlier...earlier you were not yourself. You were...I'm doing it!
[He goes over to untie Robin]
[as he's untying him] Now, you've had an upset. You should sit down and have a nice, hot...
[Robin runs over to Gisborne]
[As Robin is about to torture Gisborne]
No! Stop! This is wrong. I can't take part in this. You will regret this. You will see sense and you will regret it.
Robin
This does not concern you, Much.
You are my master, everything concerns me! I have followed you into battle. I have followed you into the forest. But I will not follow you into torture.
Robin
Then leave me.
If I thought you meant that...
Robin
GO!
[Much runs to his horse and leaves]
You seem to be short of friends, Locksley. And what about the peasants you've championed? They'll be so disappointed to know that underneath your fine words, you're just as violent as the next man. And the nobles you've championed. Swayed by your charitable actions. Edward...Marian.
[Robin swings the heated sword apparently at him, but instead breaks Gisborne's ties]
[Robin has just woken up after Little John has knocked him out for the second time, with Much guarding him, and notices that Gisborne has gone]
Robin
Where is he?
They've taken him. It was the only way...for Djaq.
Robin
It was not their decision to make! Where did they take him?
[Much shakes his head]
I'm not going to tell you. Please, you can't make me tell you.
Robin
Much, if you are my friend. If you are my true friend, you must do this one thing for me. Please.
[Much puts his cap over his eyes, lies back and grunts in frustration]
Robin
There is no way Gisborne went to the Holy Land without your say-so.
[feigning ignorance] Holy Land? Gisborne?
Robin
I have proof! On his arm, his tattoo! People in the King's Guard have heard of that tattoo, and when they return from the Holy Land, he will pay! And you will pay!
Tattoo? [pours Djaq's acid over Gisborne's arm, erasing the tattoo] What tattoo? [to a screaming Gisborne] SHUT UP, YOU BIG JESTER!
