Scenes with Much 130
[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]
Much
Sorry. This is difficult.
Much
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?
Much
I knew this would happen.
That man betrayed England. The slaughter in the Holy Land continues because of him. The others would not understand.
Much
Then you must make them understand.
Exactly. I need to talk to him. And I cannot do that tied to a tree. Just untie me.
Much
You promise me? Because earlier...earlier you were not yourself. You were...I'm doing it!
[He goes over to untie Robin]
Much
[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]
Much
Robin!
[As Robin is about to torture Gisborne]
Much
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.
This does not concern you, Much.
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.
Much
If I thought you meant that...
[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]
[gesturing to Gisborne] Him?
Much
Alive. It was somewhat touch and go. Not since the Holy Land have I seen...
[Little John sighs]
Much
It took all my powers to calm him. And...and hers. [gestures to Marian]
[Little John looks over to see Marian talking to Robin]
Much
But it was I who fetched her, so you could say it was all my doing.
Much
If they know we're coming, we could all die.
Much
What does that mean, "True. But it's Djaq"? That's not even an answer.
Look, the thing is...I like her.
[at the same time] I think I love her.
[The rest of the gang and Marian look around, shocked. Allan and Will look at each other uncomfortably]
Much
Well! Even so, that is no reason to knowingly walk into a trap.
[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]
Much
They've taken him. It was the only way...for Djaq.
It was not their decision to make! Where did they take him?
[Much shakes his head]
Much
I'm not going to tell you. Please, you can't make me tell you.
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]
Much
You are surely a spy and this is trap...of sorts.
EEve
I beg to differ, My Lord. I am just Eve, your servant here, and I'll do my best to please you. This is a lovely place and it's warm here. Especially at night.
Much
Yes, we'll see. I mean, I must say this is very pleasant...as traps go.
It's good to have you back, Much.
Much
It's good to have you back, my Lord Much.
That is gonna get really annoying.
Much
That is gonna get really annoying, my Lord Much.
[Robin grunts in frustration but in a laughing way]
Much
I know it's annoying but I like it.
Well... [looks at Will, who cheekily smiles] seeing as you like lording it up...to Lord Much!
[Little John picks Much up, Robin laughs, Will and Allan help John pick him up]
RWRobin, Will, Allan, Little John
To Lord Much!
All hail Lord Much! All hail Lord Much!
[The gang smile and Djaq takes the ledger from the fire, Robin notices and smiles]
Much, you need to look after him.
Much
Ho-ho, no. Master. Master, please. I mean, look at him. Surely.
Well, you looked after me all these years.
Yeah, but... he's a menace.
Much
Yes! You know, I think that's the first time we've actually agreed on something.
[Much hands Harold a shish kebab on a broken arrow]
Much
Learnt that in Cyprus. There, they, uh, called it-
[Pause]
Much
Then you'll know how delicious they are.
[Much hands Harold the knife who begins cutting vegetables]
Are you sure it's a good idea to give him the knife?
Much
He does have a name. He's called, uh... He's called Harold.
Much
Do you know when it's gonna happen, these turns?
Anything can start it. I'm watching a child fishing in a stream. And suddenly, I'm looking in the water...
Much
The water's full of bodies. Drowned. Left to rot.
Much
Where were you?
Nicea. Tripoli. Pelagonia.
Much
We were at Acre.
Much
Of course. It's our punishment.
[Robin caught a Saracen.]
This is prince Mhalec Al Ajubi Ibm Chati!
[Robin doesn't recognise the name]
Nephew of Saladin! I served under him.
Much
The Saladin?
Much
That's a gift?
It was. A peace offering.
Allan Peace? Let's stick needles in his head, see how he likes it!
And this is what happens when cousins marry.
Much
They're the ones that did this to you.
[Harold nods]
Does anyone here know what these two are talking about?
[Harold breaks free from his bonds and sits on a rock]
That's what we're talking about.
(Robin, his gang and the Sheriff are all chased by Saladin's assassins)
GGuard
Get them! Stop them!
Forget us! Watch the entrance!
[entering behind Robin] YOU HEARD HIM!!! GUARD THE DOORS!!!
Much
The Sheriff's with us?!
I don't think it was just the needles, Much. You understood him.
Much
I just listened to him.
Maybe that's the real magic. :[he whispers] Listening.
[Robin walkes away while whistling.]
Much
Why don't you listen to me more then, master? Master!
What? Sorry. Sorry, did you say something?
Much
Unbelievable! You talked me about listening and you don't listen.
Much
You talked to me about listening!
[Robin starts laughing.]
Much
Very funny! You never listen to me.
Much
No you don't.
[They continue arguing]
