Allan quotes from Robin Hood

Gisborne

[To the Nightwatchman] Let's find out who you really are!

Allan

Leave him! He's had enough, Guy!

Gisborne

[Quietly] No. Not you.

Marian

[Quietly] Help me.

Allan

I can't.

Marian

[Quietly] Please!

Allan

I'm sorry, I can't. If I mess this with Gisborne, I'll have nothing left, Marian. I'm sorry.

Marian

I can talk to Robin for you.

Allan

You just don't get it, do you? Even if I wanted to go back, I couldn't. It's too late.

Allan

Look, you know I've tried to help you where I can, but this...

Marian

Guy.

Gisborne

You're safe.

Marian

[To Gisborne] You did this for me?

Allan

Er... [Allan points to himself]

Marian

[Laughing] So, both of you.

Allan

Well, what's getting chased by angry soldiers between friends, eh?

Gisborne

[To Allan, regarding the Nightwatchman outfit] Burn that. [To Marian] The Nightwatchman is no more. You will not get another chance.

Allan

I've heard that one before.

Gisborne

No-one asked for your opinion, you can go.

Marian

[Quietly] Thank you.

Marian

You saved my life.

Marian

If you go along with treason, you're committing treason.

Allan

Rubbish! If you go along with farting, doesn't mean you farted yourself, does it?

Marian

What's happened to you?

Allan

I've learnt which side my bread's buttered on.

Allan

So, you want to save England single-handedly?

Marian

No! But I can't find Robin!

Allan

Sorry, you're out of your depth.

Marian

No, I'm sorry.

Marian

You underestimate me.

You missed all the fun, Gisborne. [indicating Marian] Your leper friend tried to kill me.

Gisborne

[to Allan] Did you know about this?

Allan

I didn't know anything.

Why would he know anything about this?

Gisborne

She knocked him out and took his sword.

What?

Allan

Well, I wasn't expecting it, was I? Or it wouldn't have happened. Yeah, she's good. But I'm better, though.

"She's good, but I'm better." That means you knew she was capable of this. [to Gisborne] You knew, too, didn’t you?

Gisborne

My lord, please, I can explain.

[angrily] Well, you better had explain! Because she just made an attempt on my life!

Gisborne

[hesitantly] I recently discovered that Marian... was the Nightwatchman.

... What?! ... AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!?!

Gisborne

I believed Marian's days as the Nightwatchman were over! I believed I had dealt with it--

BY TRICKING ME?!?! BY FAKING HER ESCAPE?!?! Who was it who ran away?

Allan

Look, I was just following orders, all right?

Gisborne

Yeah, I gave the orders.

WHY?!?!

Gisborne

Because I thought Marian’s charitable instincts were misguided. I did not think they merited hanging!

[sarcastic] Oh, how very noble of you, dear boy! Although I can't help thinking that maybe you wanted a little something in return! Huh?! A display of gratitude?! [pats Marian on the shoulder] The Nightwatchman! I'm impressed!

Marian

Get off me.

GUARDS!!! [guards enter] PACK A TRUNK FOR LADY MARIAN!!! [the Guards leave] She's coming with us!

Gisborne

To the Holy Land?

Oh yes.

[Whispering] Oh. Oh, look. The look. Hmm? So eloquent. [imitating Marian] "Oh, Guy! What's going to happen?" Well we just don't know, do we, missy?

Gisborne

Robin Hood and Marian. [Pause] They're still... aren't they?

Allan

Look, even if they were, he's dead now.

Gisborne

That's not an answer.

Marian

[Whispering] Allan.

Marian

[Whispering] Thank you.

Allan

[Whispering] I can't kill the King.

Marian

[Whispering] Go. Quickly.

Allan

[Whispering] What about you, though? You've crossed the Sheriff now.

Marian

[Whispering] Look, I'll be fine. Go! Save Robin.

Marian

[Whispering] Go.

Allan

Morning. Allan A Dale. Gisborne's man. I'm looking for Ellingham.

That's me.

Allan

The Sheriff sent me down on an errand. He wants me to take the outlaws back to the castle. Alright?

Oh, no. The Sheriff says they're to stay in there til they rot, or til they come out to be shot.

Allan

Yeah? Well he's changed his mind.

Why?

Allan

Turns out they might have some information he needs.

Allan

I think it's probably... you know, Black Knights stuff.

Allan

You'll be paid in full, obviously.

Aye.

Much

Godspeed til we meet again.

Robin

See you in heaven, my friends.

Robin

Are you ready?

Robin

One... two...

Djaq

Allan.

Will

What?

Djaq

Allan A Dale.

Allan

Open up! I'm here on behalf of the Sheriff!

Robin

[Gestures to let Allan in] Let him in.

Kill him.

Robin

[Quietly] John, calm down.

Allan

Oh, thank God.

Much

[Shouting] What do you want?! What do you want?!

Allan

[Shouting] Listen! We haven't got time to talk now, alright. I've spun 'em a yarn, but we've got to get out of here before they're onto...

Much

We? [Shouting] We?!

Allan

I'm with you. Trust me.

Allan

I've been an idiot. I'm sorry. But right now, we've got work to do. The Sheriff and Gisborne are going to the Holy Land.

Much

The Holy Land?

Allan

They're on a boat from Portsmouth... They're going to kill the King.

Robin

Right. We need to get out of here. Now.

Allan

[He puts his hand up] It's alright. It's alright. They're coming quietly. [He puts his hand up] Show's over.

Allan

Er, one thing actually. I've got to get this rabble back to the castle, somehow.

Sure. The Sheriff wants to talk to them back at the castle.

Allan

Yeah.

Well that's strange that. 'Cause [He gestures to the messenger] a little birdie told me that the Sheriff left the castle yesterday.

Allan

You're joking. Did he?

Nice try. Get them!

Much

To the camp?

Allan

There's no time. Look, there's something I haven't told you.

Robin

What?

Allan

The Sheriff and Gisborne have got Marian.

Robin

WHAT?!

Allan

She wanted to save the King. She couldn't find you, so she tried to kill the Sheriff and got caught.

Robin

Allan's right. We haven't got time. We're going to the coast. Now!

Robin

I'm coming, my love. I'm coming.

Much

What if the King's moved on? What if he isn't in Acre?

Robin

Well, then we go to Djaq's uncle's friend.

Will

Bassam.

Djaq

I'm going to go and check, okay?

Robin

Alright.

Allan

What does Bassam do, then?

Much

The pigeon handler. Remember Lardner?

Allan

Oh, the pigeon that the Sheriff killed with his buzzard.

Much

Ah, that's what you think.

We switched the birds.

Allan

Oh, ho, ho. You're joking. Nice one. So you got a message to the King in the end, yeah?

Much

Yeah. Well, no thanks to you.

Allan

Look, I've told you a thousand times, I'm sorry, boys, alright? I'm back now, I'm one of the lads, let's just...

Much

Now, hands up, who hasn't betrayed the group?

Allan

Oh. This one again. How clever.

Robin

Just leave it, Much, eh?

Much

Sorry.

Robin

We're here to find the King.

Djaq

And Marian.

Robin

And Marian.

Robin

Hey, John! You're dying for England. Even if you're not there.

Allan

[Quietly] I'm not being funny...it's the King of England who put us here in the first place!

Robin

The Sheriff spun him a story! The moment we came here, we were marked men. [Emotionally] It's not the King's fault!

Marian

Well, say the words then, handsome.

Robin

What words?

Marian

"I, Robin, take you, Marian..."

Robin

Now?

Marian

Now is a good time, I think. We are in the company of the best witnesses England has to offer.

Robin

I, Robin, take you, Marian, to be my lawful wedded wife. [Marian smiles] To have and to hold. For better or for worse. For richer or for poorer...

Marian

"In sickness..."

Robin

In sickness or in health. [Pause. Robin sighs] To love and to cherish. [Pause] Til death do us part.

Marian

I, Marian take you, Robin of Locksley, master of the bow, champion of the poor, and Lord of my heart, to be my lawful wedded husband. I promise to love and to cherish you, for better or for worse from this day forward as long as we both shall live.

Marian

Much... don't cry.

He's not crying. He's laughing on the wrong side of his face.

Robin

Carter!

Much

Carter!

Robin

I thought we lost you.

Sorry. [He walks over to Little John and cuts him free from the rope] Out here you can lose your head.

Much

Ho! I thought I didn't like you!

I know.

Much

Well, I do now!

Much

Ah!

Much

[To Carter] Come on. We are Robin Hood.

What?

Robin

We'll explain later.

No. Everybody say it. [Emphasising the syllables with his hand to Carter] We... are Robin Hood. SAY IT!

We are Robin Hood!
