Scenes with Allan 72
This is strange. Going without Robin.
It's fine. He's made his decision. It's fine.
[Much stops walking]
AllanWhat are you doing?
[Much shakes his head and takes off his hood]
There is something I have to do. I must find Robin.
[He runs away]
[Much has run away from Nottingham and is in the field. He sees "King Richard"]
Ha! Woah! Your Majesty, welcome home!
[He runs up to "the King" but one of his men pushes him away]
Wha-? Your Majesty, I'm Much! I served in the King's Guard! Your Ma-!
[Much realises it's not the King and stands up]
[He looks to the left]
[He looks to the right]
[He looks back and forth, unsure about which way to go]
GGuard
Former Sheriff, Edward of Knighton.
[Allan puts his hand on Edward's shoulder]
Allan
Tell it how it is, Edward.
[Robin knocks out a guard by hitting him with his bow and gestures to the exit]
[the gang run up the stairs]
Allan
Thought we were out of a job.
There's poor people going hungry.
Allan
Tell us what you've got.
And we take it all. So what's it gonna be?!
Allan
Well if you're gonna get funny about Marian, why'd you let Gisborne grab her in the first place?
[Robin laughs]
Allan
Yeah, and she's probably having cakes and ale with the Sheriff.
You just don't get it, do you?
Allan
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?!
Allan
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?
Allan
No, but I might get weak. Anyway it doesn`t matter to you.
Allan
You've always been weak.
[Robin laughs]
Very funny. Funny. You know, why don't you just...just...!
Allan
Why don't I just what?
Why don't you just jigger off!
Allan
"Jigger off"? You what?! What does that mean? Jigger?
Allan
Right.
[Allan walks past Much and leaves]
Wha-? Where are you going?! Master!
Just leave him. He needs to cool off.
Well, 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.
True. It is the end of the world.
[Will nods with his drink]
Well, 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.
How? We are Robin Hood's men.
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]
Allan
Ay up, lads.
Allan
Oh, tricked one punter too many.
I could have told you that. Here. [hands Allan a cup]
Allan
What?
ARAllan, Robin, Will, Much, Djaq, Little John
:[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]
How'd you know there even is a strong room.
Allan
What do you think? A little bird told him. A little Marian bird.
[After Much's suggestion of moving to Germany if "things don't work out here"]
Much, Count of Shleswig Holstein!
[The gang laugh]
I 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]
Allan
Nah, Sovereign of Sherwood, that's you, mate.
Sovereigns of Sherwood...that's us, lads.
Here. [hands little John and Allan a plate of food]
I thought you said chicken?
Allan
Yeah, this is a pretty small chicken, Much.
And have you seen in the trees? No squirrels lately. [Looks at Will, smiling]
All you ever eat is meat and bread. We are surrounded by edible berries and, and leaves! Where's the fruit, the salad?!
Allan
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]
[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.
Allan
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 looks at him]
[Will looks at him]
[Allan waves at him]
And you must be Djaq, [Djaq smiles at him] the Saracen. Wow!
[Daniel looks at Much]
[Much walks forward, smiles and puts his hands on his hips]
[The gang laughs]
[Daniel looks at Little John]
I just expected you to be taller.
Men tend to lie about their size.
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.
Allan
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'll need something that burns quickly.
Allan
What about straw?
Straw's fast but it's not hot enough.
Wood's hot but it's, it's not quick enough.
MMark
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.
[The gang and the boys laugh. Will walks over to Mark and ruffles his hair]
MMark
I can't see any feathers.
No, and we haven't seen any squirrels.
Look, 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]
[He hands Robin a cup]
[She holds Robin's cup]
[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.]
LJLittle John, Will, Much, Robin, Allan, Djaq
[holding their cups up] We are Robin Hood!
MBMark, boy next to Mark, boy next to Allan, Daniel
[holding their arms up] We are Robin Hood!
[The gang and the boys laugh and smile]
What have you got for me?
[Allan stays silent]
What's the matter? A conscience.
Allan
How much for this?
[Holds up Robin's letter]
Allan
This is a letter to King Richard from Robin, telling him all about you and the Sheriff and the Black Knights. Game would be up, ey, Gisborne.
Allan
I can't. I told Robin I'd give it to Roger of Stoke. He's coming to take it to the King.
Allan
I'll give it to him, then I'm clean. You can arrest him after I've gone. Somewhere out of town. I don't know anything about it.
Good. You're learning... [Hands him a bag of money] Allan.
[The gang burst into the Sheriff's Quarters]
[Djaq throws the remedy to Robin]
Will...this is your call.
[Will walks over to Robin]
Prove to me Will Scarlett still believes in doing the right thing.
You didn't drink the poison, did you?
No. But I think my point still stands so... [He gestures to the Sheriff]
[He kneels next to the Sheriff and applies the remedy onto his lips]
This is to the memory of my good father... [quieter] Dan Scarlett, [normal, quiet voice] and the people of Nottingham.
[The Sheriff doesn't awaken. Robin looks at Little John, Will looks at Robin then at Much]
[Robin shakes the Sheriff]
Allan
This is just getting weird now. I want him to live. I don't want him to live.
[Robin continues shaking the Sheriff]
[The Sheriff awakens]
Oh, I don't think so, now I've had the remedy, hm?! GUARDS!!! GUAAAAAAARDS!!!
[Will is building a monument to remind him and Luke of Dan]
It's good to have you back, Lukey!
Are you both ready for this?
Allan
Look, what's he doing up there?
I thought you said Will was going to build something to remind you of your father.
He is. Wait for the light.
[Will races over to Luke, as they look at the sunlight]
Any second. [Pause. The gang except Will and Luke look at what Will has built] Now.
[The sunlight shafts through the holes that Will made in stone and gets projected onto the rock. The gang follow the light to the rock and see Dan's face projected onto the rock via sunlight and Will's monument. Robin smiles.]
[Will has his arms around Luke]
[He nods]
