Scenes with Much 130
If we were killers...would we bring them food? It proves we are not killers.
Much
But they hate us.
Now that the mill is closed, the village will be suffering, they will be hungry.
Much
You just want everyone to love you.
No! I do not want to be branded a killer! It is different!
Much
You want to be loved! And I tell you something, it's not fair. I love you but no-one gives me any food. Yet people who do not love you are fed.
Much
The world is wrong. We're feeding people who do not love us and saving a man who wants us dead. I've changed my mind, I no longer love you. Now can I eat?
[Robin laughs]
[After Robin and his men have re-opened the mill at Nettlestone, he is hugged and applauded by the villagers. Much walks over to Marian]
He has to have the glory, doesn't he?
Much
Glory? Nah. I think he just wants to be loved.
[Much and Marian look at each other, look to Robin, Marian smiles at him]
"For every man there is a purpose which he sets up in his life. Let yours be the doing of all good deeds." [Shrugs.] That's us, lads.
Much
It's the Turk Bible. He read it in the Holy Land.
[Shrugs again.] I wanted to know what it was that we were fighting.
[Watching Annie and Seth ride away on a cart]
Much
You know, I'm not going to miss that baby.
[He walks off]
[He walks off]
[After Djaq tells Much to renounce his god]
Much
I do not believe in God. Nope. I don't. There.
[Allan touches Much on the shoulder, scaring him]
Come on. Help me tie Bricker up.
[Much looks at Djaq, who smiles, then follows Allan]
Much
[quietly while looking up at the sky] I do. Obviously.
[Djaq is hiding behind a rock a little way from Much, who is sitting in front of an unlighted fire. She lights the fire using her glass]
Much
[gasps] A sign! Which means I have to fast...
[Djaq throws a dead rabbit on the ground next to Much]
Much
Except God wants me to eat!
[Djaq throws another dead rabbit]
Much
Quite a lot!
[laughs] Djaq. Come and join us.
[She climbs down]
Well I was thinking just for dinner, but...
I was thinking for good. Or maybe I should have let your big friend here die, huh? Maybe then there would be a vacancy.
It wouldn't be safe for you to join us.
[Little John is shocked but Robin laughs]
I assumed as much. What's your name? Your real name?
But I prefer you to call me Djaq.
Djaq. Your expertise did help saving Little John's life, for which we are eternally indebted. Does anyone have a problem with a woman joining the gang?
[Will shakes his head, Much shakes his head, Little John opens his mouth to say something but shakes his head]
Much
Can you...?
Looks like dinner's on us.
Much
Well, if that was Djaq then...should I eat?
[He eats a piece of meat]
[Thunder sounds. Much immediately spits out the food]
[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.]
Oi! Stop! Megan, what are you doing?
MMegan
We're going to give these a good horse whipping.
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?
Much
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.]
Much
Do you know him?
[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!
The thing is, I woke up and we'd both been robbed! And rather than wake you, I went off to catch the thieves myself. I chased them for days!
He couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it.
Much
Runs in the family then?
Don't make us gang up on you.
Is he disrespecting our family?
Much
You rob each other in your family! Where's my flask?
[Allan looks at Tom]
[Tom gives the flask back]
You know I said you should make up with your brother?
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.
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.
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.
He stole from you, and you still defend him.
[throws his hands up] He's my brother.
[He walks over to Tom and Tom's friends]
[Next scene - daytime - Allan is asleep. Much kicks him]
Much
Get up!
[He kicks him again]
Much
Get up! They've gone.
[Will arrives]
And they've taken everything.
[Robin arrives]
I'll kill him. I'm gonna kill him. Bury him, dig him up and kill him again.
[Allan looks sombre]
Much
They have lied to us, stolen from us. They're nothing but trouble.
[Much and Allan look at John. Pause]
My brother's had more chances than he deserves.
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 has stated that they are going to Nottingham to rescue Tom and his men]
Much
Master, surely, why are we...?
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.
Don't mention it, my friend.
Much
We have a problem.
We have many problems. Most of them guard-shaped.
[After Robin has awoken from his nightmare about the Saracen attack in Acre]
Much
Acre?
[Robin sighs and nods]
Much
It's his birthday today. The king.
Much
[after Robin decides on a risky plan] There is something wrong with you.
Much
I'm serious.
[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.
Much
We do not take part in bloodshed...unless absolutely necessary.
[Allan shrugs in agreement]
[Robin yields, but punches Gisborne, knocking him out]
[Little John nods in agreement]
