Allan quotes from Robin Hood

Allan

This, my friends, is an ambush.

Allan

[to Gisborne after Gisborne finds him standing up against a wall outside Locksley Manor, having knocked out the guards] Not being funny, your guards...useless!

Allan

Oh, not you again. What are you doing here?

Allan

Look, if you leave now, no-one has to know you were here.

Allan

Guy! I've got the Nightwatchman!

Is that her?

Yeah.

Allan

She's your wife?! What does she see in you?

She's seen it.

This is good.

Yeah.

Robin

I walked away from my home! For them! I gave myself up to the Sheriff for them!

Allan

We gave Joderic money for them.

I never really did understand that.

Allan

[As Robin explains he's going to the castle.] Got some ideas how we could get in.

Robin

Go on.

Allan

Well, d'you want clever or really clever?

Robin

I want fast.

Robin

"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.

Will

Is that the Bible?

Robin

It's the Qur'an.

Will

What's that?

Much

It's the Turk Bible. He read it in the Holy Land.

Allan

Why?

Robin

[Shrugs again.] I wanted to know what it was that we were fighting.

Much

You know, I'm not going to miss that baby.

Will

Peace.

Allan

Sleep.

Much

I do not believe in God. Nope. I don't. There.

Allan

Come on. Help me tie Bricker up.

Much

[quietly while looking up at the sky] I do. Obviously.

Robin

Oi! Stop! Megan, what are you doing?

We're going to give these a good horse whipping.

Robin

Why?

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.

Tom

You touch us and you'll be in big trouble. We are Robin Hood's men!

Allan

Let's see you wear a dress.

Djaq

I will if you will.

Tom

Robin Hood could swing out these trees any time and bash your brains out!

Djaq

Or...are you afraid of looking too pretty?

Allan

I know that voice.

Much

Oh, surely Robin Hood couldn't take on all of us.

Tom

Robin wouldn't be scared of you. You're girls compared to him and his men!

Allan

Tom?

Tom

Allan.

Much

Do you know him?

Allan

He's my brother.

Allan

My purse, my sword, my horse.

Tom

I can explain. My nose! What kind of thing is that to do to a brother? Is it broken?

Allan

I say, whip him!

Tom

If you touch me again Robin will string you up on the tallest oak in Sherwood Forest!

Allan

This is Robin Hood, you idiot!

Tom

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!

Allan

He couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it.

Much

Runs in the family then?

Allan

Don't make us gang up on you.

Tom

Is he disrespecting our family?

Much

You rob each other in your family! Where's my flask?

Tom

Sorry...old habits.

Allan

[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.

Tom

Yes, we were robbing his house. That's what we do. We're trying to show the top man what we can do.

Allan

[angrily] These people are our friends!

Tom

Now you tell me. I thought they were...

Allan

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!

Allan

Do as you're told. [he hits Tom again]

Tom

Sorry.

Robin

Louder.

Tom

Sorry!

Robin

I knew nothing about this. They will be punished, you have my word.

Allan

Robin...I'm so sorry.

Robin

Just take them away!

Robin

You know I said you should make up with your brother?

Allan

Yeah.

Robin

I've changed my mind.

Allan

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!

Allan

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!

Allan

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.

Allan

[throws his hands up] He's my brother.

Robin

One more chance.

Allan

Thank you, Robin

Allan

Last chance.

Tom

Alright.

Much

Get up!

Much

Get up! They've gone.

Will

And they've taken everything.

Robin

Clothes, money, horses.

Allan

I'll kill him. I'm gonna kill him. Bury him, dig him up and kill him again.

Will

They're to hang.

Much

They have lied to us, stolen from us. They're nothing but trouble.

Let them hang.

Allan

I agree.

Robin

You do?

Allan

My brother's had more chances than he deserves.

Robin

Does he deserve to die?

Allan

Do we? We go to Nottingham, we'll end up joining him on the scaffold.

Will

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.

Allan

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?

Much

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.

Allan

Robin...god bless you, my friends.

Robin

Don't mention it, my friend.
