Scenes with Allan 72

[To a man] You have come for the belongings of the hanged man. Tom A Dale. You are his cousin. Bring them here quickly.

[The man nods and runs off. Allan cries, Djaq consoles him]

[Later, the man returns with a bag of Tom's possessions and leaves. Will arrives, upon Robin's request]

Robin is looking for you.

[He kneels next to Allan]

I'm sorry.

[Allan nods]

Give us a moment.

[She nods and Will leaves]

I had a brother. A twin. He was killed in your Crusades. I became him. His name was Djaq. He still...lives here. Inside me. Like your brother lives inside you.

Allan

That's what I worry about.

Don't you want to look?

Allan

At what? A bunch of rags...not much to show for a life.

[He reaches inside and finds the necklace that Guy gave to Marian. He lifts it up, looks at Djaq, who looks at Will]

[Intent on rescuing Djaq, Little John, Allan and Will have arrived in the dungeons]

There's no-one here.

Allan

This can't be right.

No prisoners, not even a jailer.

Allan

I'm not being funny, but, you don't, you don't think this could be a...

[Guards arrive]

Trap.

Allan

Listen gents, why don't we just talk about this, eh?

[The guards attack them and they fight]

If they know we're coming, we could all die.

Allan

True. But it's Djaq.

What does that mean, "True. But it's Djaq"? That's not even an answer.

Allan

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]

Well! Even so, that is no reason to knowingly walk into a trap.

Allan

Anyone fancy a wager? Yeah? Who thinks he can get out on his own?

Trust me, Allan. Much can do it.

Allan

We talking about the same Much?

I'm burning this!

Will, no!

[Grabs the ledger from Will's hand.] Steady.

This is not science. This is murder.

Think of this as progress. Other scientists could do much better things with Greek fire!

Allan

Yeah! You could blow up the whole castle with that stuff!

It's good to have you back, Much.

It's good to have you back, my Lord Much.

Allan

That is gonna get really annoying.

That is gonna get really annoying, my Lord Much.

[Robin grunts in frustration but in a laughing way]

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.

Ho-ho, no. Master. Master, please. I mean, look at him. Surely.

Well, you looked after me all these years.

Allan

Yeah, but... he's a menace.

Yes! You know, I think that's the first time we've actually agreed on something.

[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.

The Saladin?

Allan

Oops!

They're the ones that did this to you.

[Harold nods]

Allan

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.

I hate the cave.

Allan

It's gonna rain again and it's dry in there.

It's dark and it's, you know, horrible.

We voted, Much.

Allan

And you lost. Five-one.

Yeah, well. I should have two votes, because I really don't like the cave. In fact, I should have three, because I really, really don't like the cave.

I hate bats. Bats are rats. Rats with wings.

No, they're intelligent. Bats make noises you cannot hear.

Allan

What's the point of that? Noises you can't hear.

What if there was a noise nobody could hear.

Allan

[playfully] Shut up.

And then if you were the only person in the world who could hear it. Because I am that person. To see sense where others see nonsense. Just like the bat. I take it back. I like the bat. The bat is my friend. The bat understands me.

Allan

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

No.

Allan

Well, if you're not thinking it, how d'y'know what it is?

I don't think like you do.

Allan

I'm not being funny, maybe you should. What, you think Robin's gonna need us when he's a lord again? Eh? It's all right for them, Much with his lodge. What are we gonna have?

This should go to the poor.

Allan

That's us now! Look, we were outlaws, right? We had a job. We got nothing now. We are the poor. You know what this is?

What?

Allan

Severance pay.

Where were you two?

Allan

I can explain. There was this woman, a mother. She was giving birth to this newborn babe, right.

We were going to take the haul. Gisborne's money. We were going to take it to Scarborough.

Allan

Yeah. What can I say?

Sorry. Really.

Allan

Yeah, but we're back now. Saved your bacon actually.

[Little John and Much are shocked. Everyone looks sombre]

Allan

What? We said sorry.

Marian. Gisborne stabbed her last night and she's-

She's dead. Marian's dead.

[He walks back to the cave]

[In the cave]

We need to bury her.

We must get her to Knighton Hall...to her father. John...John, I need you to...Djaq, prepare her body. Will...I need you to make...I need you to make a coffin.

Shh! In good time. First...we say goodbye.

[tears roll down his cheeks] She was a good woman. Kind and considerate.

[steps forward] "Good"? Oh, she was... Yeah, she was...

Allan

[steps forward] She was alright. Yeah.

Her...we liked.

Her we loved. Her I loved. I loved her and I never told her.

She knew. We all knew.

[Allan notices that Marian is breathing and walks up to take a look]

Allan

I'm not being funny, right, she's breathing.

"I'll send for a physician." He just killed one. He's revolting.

He killed one?

Yes. Pitts. We thought he would denounce Gisborne, but he was a traitor. He was also revolting. I'm glad he is dead.

Allan

Yeah, but she's gotta marry Gisborne now. Tomorrow.

True.
