Much[ringing the church bell] STOP THE WEDDING! STOP THE WEDDING! STOP THE WEDDING! IT'S NOT THE KING! THE KING IS AN IMPOSTER! THE KING IS NOT IN NOTTINGHAM!
Whether the king is in Nottingham or not, that has no bearing on a wedding.
My father! I must go to Nottingham!
Your father will be safe; I have made provisions for him. You see, my influence, it benefits you. As my father-in-law he is protected. As my father-in-law.
You are cruel!
MuchTHIS IS WRONG!
You must have legal grounds to object or remain silent!
MuchI have moral grounds!
Get him out of here!
MuchThis man is a traitor and a liar! Is that legal? AND HER HEART BELONGS TO ANOTHER! [Pause] Let her tell you that. Marian, my lady, tell them.
Yes, Marian. Tell them. Remember your father.
It is not true. I am sorry. I know you mean well, but my heart belongs here.
[to the priest] Get on with it.
MuchWHAT?! I-I don't understand!
MuchThis is surely some mistake!
You have a ring?
[The guards drag Much away]
MuchHe needs you! MARIAAAAN!
[places the ring on Marian's finger] Wise decision. In time you will thank me.
[Much's scream is heard as he is thrown into the lake]
[Marian removes the wedding ring from her left hand and place it on her right]
No, the left hand. The ring must go on the left hand.
No, no, the right is better.
[She removes the front of her veil, punches Gisborne and runs out of the church]
[Robin rides in on his horse]
Do you take this man and this horse as your route out of here?
I do!
[Robin races over to Marian. Much gets out of the lake]
MuchMaster! It's not the king. He's an imposter.
A trap. I knew it. Who's there?
MuchEveryone. The gang!
Robin, my father! He leads the rebellion.
[Robin helps Marian onto his horse, and they race off to Nottingham, as they do, Marian takes off her veil and throws it away. Much gets on his horse and races off with them]
[Arriving at the gate to the castle]
We can't be seen together.
MuchWe'd never get in anyway.
I'll try the east gate.
We'll try the west.
[Marian gets off the horse and walks to the east gate. Robin and Much race off to the west gate. Robin races back]
Marian!
Robin!
[Marian runs back and they kiss. Robin races to the west gate and Marian smiles and makes her way to the east gate]
This is an ambush!
You don't say.
MuchThis is how it goes.
There's poor people going hungry.
Tell us what you've got.
Be honest with us...
MuchAnd we take a tenth...
So the poor can eat.
Lie!
MuchOr resist...
And we take it all. So what's it gonna be?!
[The gang have just reappeared from their new secret camp]
Good work, Will!
[looking at the camp] It's nothing.
MuchNothing? Genius! [puts his arms around Will and Robin] I love a camp!
[The gang cheer]
MuchMarian's in there.
Yeah, and she's probably having cakes and ale with the Sheriff.
MuchYou just don't get it, do you?
No, I don't get anything. That's what I'm saying! You know, we risk our lives to get money, then we give all of it away, what's that about?!
MuchIt...
No, I'm not being funny, we should get something. If we don't get anything, we'll get weak, get demoralised. Then how are we gonna help the poor?
MuchYou are not weak!
No, but I might get weak. Anyway it doesn`t matter to you.
MuchWhy?
You've always been weak.
[Robin laughs]
MuchVery funny. Funny. You know, why don't you just...just...!
Why don't I just what?
MuchWhy don't you just jigger off!
"Jigger off"? You what?! What does that mean? Jigger?
MuchYou know what it means!
Right.
[Allan walks past Much and leaves]
MuchWha-? Where are you going?! Master!
Just leave him. He needs to cool off.
MuchWell, it's not the end of the world. I mean, Marian's basically alright and...we've got a camp.
Much, the Sheriff and the Black Knights are going to kill the King. Take over England.
MuchTrue. It is the end of the world.
[Will nods with his drink]
MuchWell, if we've learnt one thing from today, it's that you are never going to go to Nottingham on your own, again, ever. Because if you'd have died, especially now...
If I had died, Much, or if I die tomorrow...you will carry on without me.
MuchHow? We are Robin Hood's men.
No, you are Robin Hood.
MuchWhat?
You are Robin Hood. And [points to Djaq] you are, and [points to Little John] you are. [turns to Will] All of you! We are not just six outlaws in the forest. [Allan arrives outside the camp] We are the spirit of England and that lads, that is this country's only hope.
[Allan walks in]
Ay up, lads.
What happened to you?
Oh, tricked one punter too many.
MuchI could have told you that. Here. [hands Allan a cup]
We are Robin Hood.
What?
MuchJust say it.
:[holding their cups up] We are Robin Hood!
[The gang smile and drink and as Allan takes his drink, the bag of money from Gisborne in exchange for Allan spying is seen hanging from his trousers. He quickly covers it up and drinks]
MuchHow'd you know there even is a strong room.
A wild guess.
What do you think? A little bird told him. A little Marian bird.
Much[looking at a trip wire] Will, what's this?
Much, don't touch that!
[Much pulls on the thread and dogs are heard]
MuchWhy do I do it?
[After Much's suggestion of moving to Germany if "things don't work out here"]
Much, Count of Shleswig Holstein!
[The gang laugh]
MuchI could be Count of Shlessy or whatever.
It'd be pretty hard to be a Count of a place you can't pronounce.
[Allan puts his arm on Much's shoulders]
Nah, Sovereign of Sherwood, that's you, mate.
Sovereigns of Sherwood...that's us, lads.
MuchHere. [hands little John and Allan a plate of food]
I thought you said chicken?
Yeah, this is a pretty small chicken, Much.
Yeah. Again.
And have you seen in the trees? No squirrels lately. [Looks at Will, smiling]
MuchIt's not squirrel!
All you ever eat is meat and bread. We are surrounded by edible berries and, and leaves! Where's the fruit, the salad?!
Salad?
Men? Eating leaves?
There is only one use for leaves around here and you wouldn't want to be eating them afterwards.
[the gang laugh]
[Robin arrives with Daniel]
Up!
[Djaq and Will stand up]
We need to go. This is Daniel. His friends are in danger and if I'm not much mistake, so are we.
What's up?
It's Gisborne. He's creating a new armour. We need to take his toys away, so...arm yourselves.
[The gang get ready]
Little John.
[Little John looks at him]
Will.
[Will looks at him]
Allan A Dale.
[Allan waves at him]
And you must be Djaq, [Djaq smiles at him] the Saracen. Wow!
[Daniel looks at Much]
Sorry, who are you?
That, that's Much.
[Much walks forward, smiles and puts his hands on his hips]
Oh, yes! The servant.
[The gang laughs]
MuchFunny.
[Daniel looks at Little John]
What?
I just expected you to be taller.
I'm quite tall.
Yeah, but, like a giant.
Men tend to lie about their size.
MuchI don't like waiting. Especially behind a cow.
Much, shh!
[Allan and Djaq smile and look at each other]
Right, we need to trade Daniel and the black diamonds in open space. And that's here. [he points on the map of the village that they've built on the table] So when the Sheriff has the diamonds, and we have Daniel back safely...then we can strike.
You can't just nick 'em back though. Well he'll have the place surrounded, won't he? You might as well walk in with your hands in the air saying "Shoot me".
We could destroy them.
Well we'll have to.
We'll need something that burns quickly.
Pitch.
What about straw?
[shakes her head] Mmm.
Straw's fast but it's not hot enough.
Pitch.
What about wood?
Wood's hot but it's, it's not quick enough.
Pitch. Fast burning and hot.
[Smiling and pointing at Mark] Pitch! Good thinking, Mark!
[Little John smiles and ruffles Mark's hair]
I could make a new box, choose the right wood - something thin, could line it with pitch, carry the black diamonds in that to the Sheriff and well you could shoot it, Robin with a flaming arrow.
And the rocks will explode.
Good idea, Will. We'll test it in the morning.
Much?
MuchHmm?
Is this rat?
[The gang and the boys laugh. Will walks over to Mark and ruffles his hair]
MuchIt's chicken.
I can't see any feathers.
No, and we haven't seen any squirrels.
MuchLook, I don't know if any of you have noticed, but I have to do everything you all do and keep the larder stocked! So, if any of you want to run ragged around the forest trying to catch this massive animal, then you can be the servant!
[The gang and the boys continue to laugh - Mark snorts]
MuchA toast.
[He hands Robin a cup]
Just hang on. Djaq.
[She holds Robin's cup]
Will.
[Will, smiling, throws Robin a small bag]
[opening the bag and talking to the boys] Good work, lads.
[Robin holds out four tags]
[Daniel smiles. Robin laughs]
You are now [he passes a tag to the boy sitting by Allan] honorary members of our gang.
[Mark smiles]
[hands Daniel a tag] You are our eyes and ears in the villages. And any time you need us... [He hands Will two tags to give to a boy and Mark, who are standing behind him] you can call on us.
And any time you need us, call on us.
[Robin smiles and winks at Daniel. Will smiles.]
That's a deal.
[holding their cups up] We are Robin Hood!
[holding their arms up] We are Robin Hood!
[The gang and the boys laugh and smile]
Right, time to spread a bit of...
MuchHappiness.
Happiness. That's right. Time to spread a bit of happiness.
