Much

Cheer up!

What have I got to be cheery about?

Much

Well we've got a visitor.

[Robin notices the Fool]

Who are you?

No, not him.

[Will unveils Lardner from is sleeve]

It's Lardner. Say hello.

[Robin laughs]

You're joking!

[Will shakes his head and smiles]

When you want something to disappear, the trick is to divert the audience's attention.

We switched the birds.

I just happened to have a spare stuck up my sleeve.

[Will laughs]

Much

Ah, I like this. The two of us on a mission. I mean, no offense to the others, but it's just like the old days, in the Holy Land.

[Pause]

Much

Master, you know that ring, the one Marian gave you...is it some sort of code?

No. I gave it to her in the tree.

Much

You giving jewelry! She must have been surprised. She must have thought you were going to propose!

I did. And she said yes.

[Much is shocked. Pause]

Well, this is the moment when you say "Congratu-"

Much

Congratulations.

[Much smiles and they hug]

Much

She said yes?

She did.

[Pause]

Let's just hope we can live to enjoy it. Come on.

[He walks away and Much stands still looking sad before continuing to walk]

[Everyone is looking at the two messages, with the second on top of the first]

Much

No, no, no. Look, it's the night sky. Djaq? See - that's the moon, there's the night sky and there are the stars.

No, Much. They don't work that way.

And that's the sun, if anything.

Yeah.

PPaxton

It could be a circle?

What?

PPaxton

A circle.

[pointing at the message] Yeah, these could be stones, foundation stones of a building and the sword is pointing at the entrance.

[Whistling is heard]

[Legrand's men unsheathe their swords]

Hold! Hold, hold.

[Whistling is heard again]

Much

I think that might be for you.

Yeah. Carry on working. I'll be back.

[Robin leaves]

PPaxton

[To Much] That signal... is that a member of the gang?

Much

Something like that.

[Scene transition - Robin looks around for Marian, who is sitting on a high tree branch. Marian smiles and laughs as he looks around for her]

I'm up here.

[Robin smiles goes over to her, and she moves down from the top branch of a tree to the bottom]

[They kiss twice]

Ah, I've missed you.

[They kiss]

I've missed you. Do you know what's happening in Locksley?

What do you mean?

Gisborne's turned out all the villagers. He's made it a garrison for his mercenaries.

What about the people? Where are the villagers?

In the forest...or with families from other villages.

Right, well...we'll get food to them.

We can't. Allan told Gisborne about the secret food store and he's taken everything.

WHAT?!

But if we move now, we could take the garrison by surprise.

I know, but...we can't. Not just yet.

Why not?

We've had word from the King, Marian. Now, I promise I'll restore Locksley, but I can't until we complete this mission.

And what are the villagers supposed to do in the mean time?

You know I would go to them if I could. King Richard needs me now more than ever.

[Marian looks despondent]

Hey...we'll be together soon. I promise.

[Marian nods and then so does Robin. They kiss and look at each other. Robin sighs and walks away]

And Marian...

Hmm?

Promise me you won't do anything is Locksley alone.

[She rolls her eyes]

Marian!

I promise. I promise I won't do anything.

[Robin walks away]

But the Nightwatchman might.

[Robin and the gang walk up to a cloaked figure, and as they reach the doorway, the cloaked figure tuns around and reveals herself as Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine]

Your majesty.

[He bows down]

Much

I know you! You're Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. The Queen Mother!

[Much, Will, Little John, Legrand and Legrand's men bow]

Thesaurus Patriae. You're the treasure of the nation.

Much

I'm Much, your majesty.

[He kisses her hand and holds it]

Yes.

[Will, standing next to Much is smiling]

Much

And this, uh, this is, er...

Will.

Much

Will.

[Much lets go of her hand and Will kises it, but Eleanor is looking at Little John]

Of course.

[The gang, Legrand and his men and Queen Eleanor are trapped underneath Barndale Church by the Sheriff - as him ad his men are outside the door]

Thats the only way out of here.

Much

Oh, here we go again!

[The gang are walking through a field]

Much

There's something about Sherwood.

It's home.

Much

Yeah.

[Much falls down]

Much

Oh!

[The gang laugh]

[To Much] Come on!

[Much stands up]

I know a lot of people who would be very grateful of Queen Eleanor's money.

[He runs ahead]

[Djaq runs up to Little John]

So, John... do you think you'll be visiting Aquitaine any time soon?

Much

The Queen Mother fancies you!

MRMuch, Robin, Will, Djaq

Big Bear!

[Little John tries to run away from the gang but they chase after him]

You're jealous!

[Robin jumps and gives John a little kick]

[Robin and Much grab John]

Get off!

[Robin, Much and Will push Little John to the ground. Djaq laughs and Will, Much and Robin stand up. Djaq continues to laugh]

[The gang led by Much are running to the barn in Nettlestone]

Much

Come on! This way! Quick! Girl in distress!

What distress?

[Much opens the barn door and gestures to Robin to enter the barn.

Much

Go!

[Robin enters followed by the rest of the gang. Robin doesn't see a girl in distress]

Where's the girl?

Much

The girl is the pig! [He gestures to a pig roasting on a fire, with George cooking it], the pig is your present! This is a party! [Robin smiles] Happy Birthday!

Yeah!

Happy Birthday!

[Robin hugs Little John and Djaq]

Well, why here? Why not have it in the forest?

Much

There's gratitude for you. Because then it wouldn't be a surprise!

[He playfully punches Robin in the stomach]

Much

And besides, the people of Nettlestone can join us and you know... say thank you. Speaking of which, where is everyone?

GGeorge

They couldn't make it. And neither can I.

Much

What do you mean they couldn't make it?! It's Robin Hood's birthday!

GGeorge

Sorry.

Much

Sorry for what?

[George quickly opens the barn door, closes it and runs]

Much

George?!

[Robin walks over to the closed barn door]

Oh, Much.

Much

What?

[Robin looks through the gaps in the barn door and sees mercenaries arriving]

[George runs over to the mercenaries and Ellingham throws him a bag of money]

GGeorge

Thank you!

[George runs away]

[Shouting] Happy Birthday, Robin Hood!

Much

Who's that?

That's Ellingham.

[Shouting] The Sheriff sends his best!

The leader of the Sheriff's mercenaries.

EEllinghan

Not to mention...his best men!

[The mercenaries cheer]

Much!

[Robin turns to look at Much]

Much

[Holding his arms out. Shouting] Sorry!

That bought us some time. We need to think.

There are five of us. And a hundred of them!

Once a few determined Spartans held a pass against a vast Persian army.

Really?

[Robin slightly nods]

Strategy.

And they lived?

No, but... they did well.

Oh.

Much

I hate that story too.

[After scaring the Sheriff's mercenaries with a hogshead full of black powder]

Much

Ha! Ha!

Black powder, Djaq? [Djaq nods] I thought I told you I never wanted to see that again!

[shrugging] I disobeyed you.

[Robin smiles]

Good! Do you have any more?

None.

I have a proposal. If they won't come to us, we'll go to them.

When?

First light.

There's too many of them.

We'll die.

Much

It's suicide.

[Robin nods. Much sighs and paces]

It's a good day to die!

Much

Will you shut up! Why does he always say that?! I don't even know what it means!

We'll almost certainly die. But at least we'll die fighting.

Yeah, I'm in.

[Djaq who was looking at Will, looks at Robin]

Me too.

Yes.

[Robin looks at Much]

[Pause]

Much

And me.

[Robin slighty nods]

Good. Good.

So this is a Kalila and Dimna night.

What?

You don't have Kalila and Dimna night?

Much

Surprisingly not.

A Kalila and Dimna night you remember for your whole life. You must only speak the truth. You must ask all your questions, share all your dreams.

Much

So it's just talking?

Yes. But it's real talking. And if you're too boring, someone shouts Kalila and you lose your turn. You start.

Much

Oh, no.

Just talk. You like talking.

Much

I know I do...but, well, not like this.

Fine. I'll start.

So I admire you. All of you. You are good men. Brave... generous... kind... decent men. And I love you. All of you. And I am proud to be amongst you.

Much

Is this what this is, just everyone saying that they love each other?

[Holding her hand up. Laughing] Wait. And you're filthy, and you really stink. [Everyone laughs] and you have no souls!

We live in the forest.

I have to be honest!

[Will smiles and looks down]

[Pause]

I have to be honest. And if I am being honest I have to say that... I do not love all of you in the same way.

Much

It's me, isn't? You love everyone else but you don't love me. Brilliant.

[Djaq looks at Will as she talks]

There is one I do love more than the others, [Will looks up at her] The way a bird would fly... two thousand miles through storms [Little John and Much look over to Will] just to be with the one he loves. That is the love I feel. And I am a [Emotionally] fool because it is only now when we're about to die [looks up at Will] that I have the courage to admit it, even to myself. I'm sorry. I should have said earlier.

Much

[Whispering to Little John] Will! I knew it!

[Robin looks at Will then at Djaq]

You, Will Scarlett are strong and true, and you fight for what you believe in [Will smiles and looks down, tears in his eyes] and that's why I love you.

[looking up at her again] And I love you!

[Djaq laughs]

I love the way you say what you mean. I love your silly voice.

Silly voice!?

[Will laughs]

That's it, I take it back, all of it. [Robin smiles] I hate you.

And I love the way you fight. Like a man. Ferocious. And the way you'll always, always be a woman.

Much

Ka-lim-na. Boring.

[Staring in disbelief at Will] Kalila.

Much

Whatever.

Much

[To Djaq] Look, I'm not doing this.

Fine.

Much

Good. Because I don't hate myself and I'm not in love with anyone else. So...

Fine.

Much

Fine. Well there's nothing to say, then.

[Much paces. He notices Robin smiling]

Much

What?

What?

Much

You were smiling.

I was smiling because usually it's a struggle to shut you up.

[Much paces]

Much

You think I talk to much. Well, I know that's what you think. Much talks too much. And eats too much. Worries too much. Well, it's easy for you to say, because if I don't do it, who will? It's alright for you, because you can just breeze through life and be everyone's hero, and not have to worry about the simple things like the fire or the food or the hole in your cape or your [He puts his arms out] birthday! 'Cause good old... dependable, old Much, he'll take care of that. And I tell you something. You take me for granted.

[Robin sniggers]

Much

And you're sniggering at me, now.

Much, I was just...

Much

[Shouting] You shouldn't!

[He walks away from Robin]

Much

And I'm angry!

[Djaq looks at Much, saddened. Will looks at Much, saddened]

[Much turns around]

Much

And just because I love you doesn't mean I can't hate you too. And I hate you. Because in the Holy Land, [He emphasises the following words] there was two of us, and we were a [Shouting] team! And the things we went through and the horrors we saw... Went through them together! And when we came home, we were like brothers. Brothers in arms. And where's that now? Hey?! It's gone! That's where! [Emotionally] You never talk! You just don't. And you made me a free man, and we're meant to be equals. [Much shakes his head] We're not equals. The only thing that's changed is that you still treat me like a servant and you don't treat me like your friend.

[Quietly] That's not true.

[Little John looks at Robin]

[Quietly. To Little John] Is it true?

[Little John looks at Robin]

[Much, Djaq and Will look at Robin]

[Much nods and Robin sighs]

Much

Oh, Kalila.
