Will quotes from Robin Hood

Robin

Much, Count of Shleswig Holstein!

Much

I could be Count of Shlessy or whatever.

Will

It'd be pretty hard to be a Count of a place you can't pronounce.

Allan

Nah, Sovereign of Sherwood, that's you, mate.

Robin

Sovereigns of Sherwood...that's us, lads.

Much

Here. [hands little John and Allan a plate of food]

I thought you said chicken?

Allan

Yeah, this is a pretty small chicken, Much.

Will

Yeah. Again.

Djaq

And have you seen in the trees? No squirrels lately. [Looks at Will, smiling]

Much

It's not squirrel!

Djaq

All you ever eat is meat and bread. We are surrounded by edible berries and, and leaves! Where's the fruit, the salad?!

Will

Salad?

Men? Eating leaves?

Allan

There is only one use for leaves around here and you wouldn't want to be eating them afterwards.

Robin

Up!

Robin

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?

Robin

It's Gisborne. He's creating a new armour. We need to take his toys away, so...arm yourselves.

Little John.

Will.

Allan A Dale.

And you must be Djaq, [Djaq smiles at him] the Saracen. Wow!

Sorry, who are you?

Robin

That, that's Much.

Oh, yes! The servant.

Much

Funny.

What?

I just expected you to be taller.

I'm quite tall.

Yeah, but, like a giant.

Djaq

Men tend to lie about their size.

Robin

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 could destroy them.

Robin

Well we'll have to.

Djaq

We'll need something that burns quickly.

Pitch.

Allan

What about straw?

Djaq

[shakes her head] Mmm.

Robin

Straw's fast but it's not hot enough.

Pitch.

What about wood?

Robin

Wood's hot but it's, it's not quick enough.

Pitch. Fast burning and hot.

Robin

[Smiling and pointing at Mark] Pitch! Good thinking, Mark!

Will

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.

Djaq

And the rocks will explode.

Robin

Good idea, Will. We'll test it in the morning.

Much?

Much

Hmm?

Is this rat?

Much

It's chicken.

I can't see any feathers.

Will

No, and we haven't seen any squirrels.

Much

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!

Much

A toast.

Robin

Just hang on. Djaq.

Robin

Will.

Robin

[opening the bag and talking to the boys] Good work, lads.

Robin

You are now [he passes a tag to the boy sitting by Allan] honorary members of our gang.

Robin

[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

That's a deal.

[holding their cups up] We are Robin Hood!

[holding their arms up] We are Robin Hood!

Robin

Oi! The money you have could feed the poor of Nottingham!

Luke

We are the poor!

Just let them take what they need, Lukey.

Will

Dad? Dad!

Will!

Will

It's me!

Djaq

Will, you know these people?

Will

[laughing] I'd like you to meet my father Dan Scarlett and my little brother Lukey.

Luke

I'm not little!

Will

My big little brother Lukey!

Will

Dad, I'm an outlaw! I stand up for what I believe in!

What? And I don't?

Will

[exhales] It doesn't matter.

Yes it does. Tell me.

Will

You let the Sheriff cut off your hand!

Luke

That was to save me and you!

Will

I know. I didn't mean that.

Yes you did.

SHERIFF, THIS IS NOT RIGHT!

Robin

Dan! Dan!

What?

I've just had a look at a young lass and it's not a pestilence.

Get that man to shut up.

I've seen a pestilence before in Scarborough. These people must have food and water...and medicine!

I said SHUT UP!

I've shut up for you once before, Sheriff. It lost me my wife, my hand and the respect of my son. So, I'm not shutting up anymore! Now, why are you saying this is the pestilence?

Will

DAD!

[to the guard] Well done! Hysteria! Panic! In times of crisis, not very helpful. IT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!!

Robin

Will! Will! You can't go up there!

Will

I'm gonna kill him now!

Gisborne

You heard the Sheriff. Set up those barricades!

Much

There's too many of them Will!

Robin

It's suicide!

Much

Will!

Will

I DON'T CARE!

Djaq

Will!

Will

Let me go down first, make sure it's safe. I know what to look for better than you do.

Luke

Why do you always treat me like I'm a baby?!

Will

[as Luke is climbing down the rope. Said quietly] I loved you, Luke.

Luke

See! [He gestures for Will to climb down] Your turn!

Luke

[as Will is pulling the rope back] Will?

Will

Run away, Luke! Run back to Scarborough! This place is about to turn into hell!

Luke

Will! [He holds his hands up to his mouth in order to further his voice] WILL! WI- WILL!

Robin

WILL!

Robin

I know what you've done.

Will

I've done the right thing, that's what I've done.

Will

Justice in a bottle.

Robin

Djaq has the remedy.

Will

Yeah, I know. She told me.

Much

Where is she, Will? What have you done with her?

Will

I've stood up to the Sheriff. It's what we all should have done a long time ago.

Robin

Even if all of Nottingham dies?

Will

That's not my fault.

Much

Woah, master, no!

Robin!

Will

Robin!

Robin! Ro-!

Robin

You want to watch people die? Then you can start with me.

Will

Robin, I can't let the Sheriff live!

Robin

YES YOU CAN!

Will

[Emotionally] My dad...he did it for me. He stood up to the Sheriff to prove himself to me!

Robin

Then prove yourself to him. Show that we are stronger men than the Sheriff.

Will

Robin.

Much

Will! Will! Come on!

Will

[Emotionally] Robin, why did you have to do this?!

Robin

To prove my point. Will Scarlett still believes in the right thing.

Much

Will, please.

Will, do this.

Will

I'll take you to her.

Will

[to Allan] Go!

Robin

Go! Go! To the Sheriff's Quarters. Go! I'll see you there.

Robin!

Much

Djaq, the remedy, quick!

Robin

Will...this is your call.

Robin

Prove to me Will Scarlett still believes in doing the right thing.

Will

You didn't drink the poison, did you?

Robin

No. But I think my point still stands so... [He gestures to the Sheriff]

Will

Yeah. Yeah, it does.

Will

This is to the memory of my good father... [quieter] Dan Scarlett, [normal, quiet voice] and the people of Nottingham.

Much

Well he can't be dead.

Allan

This is just getting weird now. I want him to live. I don't want him to live.

Robin

COME ON!

Just joshing!

Robin

Finish the speech!

Oh, I don't think so, now I've had the remedy, hm?! GUARDS!!! GUAAAAAAARDS!!!

Robin

It's good to have you back, Lukey!

Djaq

Are you both ready for this?

Allan

Look, what's he doing up there?

Much

I thought you said Will was going to build something to remind you of your father.

Luke

He is. Wait for the light.

Much

Light? It is light.

Luke

Any second. [Pause. The gang except Will and Luke look at what Will has built] Now.

Dan?

Much

[joyfully] That is...!

Djaq

Beautiful.

Robin

He was a good man.

Will

Yeah. Yeah he was.

Allan

What's your problem? Ey! D'you speak to Robin then or not?

Much

Why do you wanna know?

Will

Well we wanna know what's going on. What's the plan?

Djaq

Did the messenger get through to the castle?

Will

Yeah, is Robin gonna kill him?

Much

Like to know his plans do you? What's the Sheriff and Gisborne's plan?

Will

What?

Much

I mean is: there even a Henry? Or is it a trap?!

Will

What?

Djaq

What's going on?

Much

[to Will] How much do they pay you?

Pay who?!

Much

There's a spy. In the camp. One of you is a spy! [He points to Allan, Djaq and Will] And Robin knows! So...you're done for!

Allan

What? How does he know?

Much

It's obvious! I mean, Gisborne is always five or...six steps ahead of us.

Will

Are you calling me a traitor?

Traitor?! Trai- [He sighs]

Allan

What you looking at me for?

Will

Well you're the one who tried to persuade me to steal from Robin. Y'know, the time when we thought the King was coming.

Much

That's right. Traitor!

Allan

We thought about it, we decided against it, didn't we?

Will

I said no!

STOP IT...NOW!

Much

Yes! If anyone's gonna kill the traitor, it's gonna be me!

Allan

What makes you so high and mighty? He obviously doesn't trust you either, does he? Or why's he sent you back here?

Stop it the pair of you! [To Much] Off him!

STOP IT!

Will

We need to know who the traitor is.

Much

Sorry. It's not the sort of secret I can keep.

Robin

Let's just deal with Rosa first.

TELL US, ROBIN!

Will

Robin, there'll be people like Rosa who need our help every day but if we're not a gang, if you... [He points his finger at Robin] suspect us...

Robin

Alright. It's true. One of you is betraying us. You're meeting Gisborne and you're selling our secrets.

Much

Not me.

Allan

It's not me either.

Will

Well, it's not me.

Not me.

Djaq

It's not me.

Robin

Stop this now! If the guilty man or woman confesses right here, I'll listen. Tell me what Gisborne said. What he offered. Step forward now. You have one chance.

Much

I will not be treated with equal suspicion!

Robin

Well, whoever you are. You've made your choice.

Robin

And I will find you out.

Will

What are you going to do with him?

Robin

I'll banish him.

Will

Should kill him. Traitor to the King. Doesn't deserve to live.

Allan

Kill him?

Will

Oi, Much! Look.

Much meet Alice.

Robin

PUT IT DOWN, HENRY!

They say you don't kill any more.

Robin

For the King, I kill.

The King's finished.

Prince John, the Sheriff, the Black Knights, they all win.

Much

[struggling for breath] Robin.

Robin

Not today they won't.
