Scenes with Will 70
If they know we're coming, we could all die.
What does that mean, "True. But it's Djaq"? That's not even an answer.
Look, the thing is...I like her.
Will
[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.
Will
I'm burning this!
[Grabs the ledger from Will's hand.] Steady.
Will
This is not science. This is murder.
Think of this as progress. Other scientists could do much better things with Greek fire!
Yeah! You could blow up the whole castle with that stuff!
Will
It's good to have you back, Much.
It's good to have you back, my Lord Much.
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]
[About his son, to the Gang] Him, I am proud to know. You, I'm stuck with.
Will
[throwing Little John a stick] Oi, John! I made you a new staff.
[The gang laugh]
[Will is staring at Robin and panting after running to the cave]
Will
The king is coming.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Will
No.
Well, if you're not thinking it, how d'y'know what it is?
Will
I don't think like you do.
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?
Will
This should go to the poor.
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?
Will
What?
I can explain. There was this woman, a mother. She was giving birth to this newborn babe, right.
Will
We were going to take the haul. Gisborne's money. We were going to take it to Scarborough.
Will
Sorry. Really.
Yeah, but we're back now. Saved your bacon actually.
[Little John and Much are shocked. Everyone looks sombre]
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 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.
Will
[tears roll down his cheeks] She was a good woman. Kind and considerate.
[steps forward] "Good"? Oh, she was... Yeah, she was...
[steps forward] She was alright. Yeah.
Her we loved. Her I loved. I loved her and I never told her.
[Allan notices that Marian is breathing and walks up to take a look]
I'm not being funny, right, she's breathing.
Will
This is strange. Going without Robin.
It's fine. He's made his decision. It's fine.
[Much stops walking]
[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]
[Robin knocks out a guard by hitting him with his bow and gestures to the exit]
[the gang run up the stairs]
Thought we were out of a job.
Will
Good to have you back!
Will
There's poor people going hungry.
Will
So the poor can eat.
And we take it all. So what's it gonna be?!
[The gang have just reappeared from their new secret camp]
Will
[looking at the camp] It's nothing.
Nothing? Genius! [puts his arms around Will and Robin] I love a camp!
[The gang cheer]
The Sheriff didn't want to say goodbye either. He just wants you dead now. See you on the dark side. Shoot him!
[The archers prepare to fire. But the gang arrive - Much charges with a warlike cry in front of the archers and the arrows fire into his shield. The rest of the gang fight]
[knocking out an archer] So, it's goodnight from me...
Will
[knocking out an archer. He hits the archer with an axe with the words "goodnight" and "him"] And goodnight from him!
[Will nods at Little John and Little John nods at Will]
Well, it's not the end of the world. I mean, Marian's basically alright and...we've got a camp.
Will
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]
Oh, tricked one punter too many.
I could have told you that. Here. [hands Allan a cup]
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]
[looking at a trip wire] Will, what's this?
Will
Much, don't touch that!
[Much pulls on the thread and dogs are heard]
[Stephen is touching Will's face]
SStephen
Will. Still passionate, angry.
Will
Lots to be angry about.
SStephen
True. And your skills. You're using them, not wasting them. That's good.
Will
I'm with Robin Hood.
