Scenes with Marian 66

[Marian is holding the blacksmith at knife point]

Marian

Sheriff.

Oh, not again.

Marian

Let him live.

Who?

Marian

Guy.

[The Sheriff sees she is holding the blacksmith at knife point]

Marian, what are you doing?

Marian

I am asking you to reconsider.

You are helping Hood?

Marian

Quite the opposite. I am reminding you that Sir Guy is your most loyal servant.

[Robin pulls Gisborne from the water]

Aahh! My Lord, please!

Let him die!

[Robin submerges Gisborne again]

Marian

He's a noble and a good man. He must be worth more to you than a sack of rocks!

[The Sheriff takes the sack of rocks from the blacksmith]

I will have those sack of rocks!

Marian

Then I will kill this man.

[Marian points the dagger against the blacksmith]

Marian

Without him...[chuckles] are the rocks really any use?

BBlacksmith

Uh, no, no, they are not. I am the only man west of Jerusalem who can make them work their magic.

[Robin pulls Gisborne from the water]

Aah! MY LORD!

SHUT UP!

[Robin submerges Gisborne]

BBlacksmith

My Lord, I will get you more rocks.

[He throws the rocks over and Robin pulls Gisborne from the water]

[to Marian] You will be punished for this, Marian. Be in no doubt...you'll be punished.

Marian

[whispering] Robin. Robin!

Marian, what are you doing here?

Marian

Someone's impersonating me.

I know. I think they're giving out poisoned pies.

Marian

What?! In my name?

It's the Sheriff's doing, but, but why?

Marian

I've no idea. Unless he wants to damage the Nightwatchman's reputation.

But then he'd blame the Nightwatchman...and he hasn't.

[Marian passes her bag to Robin. She steps down and Robin picks her up and holds her]

Marian

I need to go and see if Jess is alright.

[Robin puts Marian down and she walks away]

Marian

You organised this?

We had hospitals in the Holy Land.

[Pause]

I thought that would be the last time I'd see one.

Marian

How did you know there wasn't some infectious disease.

I didn't.

Marian

That's brave.

How did you know?

Marian

I didn't.

[Robin notices Marian's hair pin and takes it from her hair]

Marian

[Whispering] Robin! This is not the time!

[Robin smiles. He holds up the hair pin up against the lock and puts it in the lock of the door and starts to unlock the door with it]

Marian

Will that work?

Trust me. I've done this before.

[The lock clinks]

Marian

With which girl's hair pin?

[Robin quietly laughs and Marian raises her eyebrows]

[Gisborne has burst into Marian's room]

Marian

Guy! At least do me the courtesy of knocking.

Get your possessions, you're leaving.

Marian

What?

Now!

Marian

Why?

Winchester's made a deal with the Sheriff, you've become part of a negotiation.

Marian

[Quietly] Pardon?

[Gisborne walks up to the desk where Marian is sitting and slams his hand on the desk]

Winchester wants you.

[Pause]

Marian

Well tell him, he can't have me.

The Sheriff has agreed, [he walks away from her, makes sure the door is closed] I cannot protect you. [He walks back to Marian] Marian, listen to me, you have to run now!

[Marian stands up]

Marian

I can't, my father!

[Softly] I will take care of your father.

Marian

I cannot leave him!

MARIAN, WHY DO YOU ALWAYS RESIST ME, I'M ATTEMPTING TO HELP YOU?!

Marian

I know. I can see that and I'm grateful, but...

[Gisborne puts a bag on the desk]

If the Sheriff knew I was doing this, my own life would be in danger!

Marian

Why do you work for him?

[Pause]

I have nobody.

Marian

Wha- So you choose him?!

I choose power! He is my route to position...standing!

Marian

He is mad, you know that!

No! He is single minded. He does not allow...distractions to pervert him from his course.

[Marian scoffs]

Marian

Distractions?! Like a little humanity?!

Humanity is weakness!

[She takes his arm]

Marian

You don't believe that!

[Pause]

You must leave this place. This money [He hands her a bag of money] will secure your passage, and I instructed a man on the West Gate to let you out.

[He puts his hand on her cheek]

[Softly] Marian... [He kisses her on her other cheek] Good luck.

[He walks to the door]

[Softly] Go! [He opens the door] Now!

[He closes the door and begins to walk away, but the Sheriff is standing by the door]

Excellent!

[Marian is about to escape and has left her room. Gisborne comes up and holds her arm]

Marian

Guy?

[Quietly] Marian... [Long Pause] I'm sorry.

[He nods to guards and they walk towards Marian]

The Sheriff's instructions.

[The guards grab Marian and Gisborne turns away]

Marian

What? Get off me. Guy.

[The guards put shackles on her]

Marian

Get off me! Get off me! Ugh, Guy!

[The "Guy!" echoes]

Marian

[regarding John of York, who has appeared at the top of a turret, pointing a bow and arrow at the Sheriff] What's that man doing?

I want my money!

Marian

Is he mad?

Yes. He's in love.

[Marian is caught in Robin's trap]

Marian

Robin!

[Robin and his men arrive]

Yes, my love?

Marian

Get me down!

But you look so good up there!

Marian

You will pay for this Robin of Locksley!

Honestly! You look gorgeous from any angle!

[Marian gets out of the trap and punches Robin in the stomach. The other outlaws say "Ooh!"]

Marian

How do I look from that angle?

Marian

[Regarding why she can't live in the forest] Well, green doesn't suit me.

It's your father, isn't it?

Marian

I can't turn my back on him.

[Pause]

What I said earlier...

Marian

What?

You know, up there. [he gestures to when she was caught in the trap] I said you were gorgeous.

[Marian smiles, then so does Robin]

I meant it.

[They smile. Marian notices John of York arriving]

Marian

And I meant what I said.

[She gets on her horse]

Marian

One day, you will pay Robin of Locksley.

[She smiles at John of York, then at Robin and rides off. Robin and John watch her ride off]

[to Robin] "Just guessing". Liar.

[Robin has Allan pinned to the floor and is holding a dagger up to his neck]

Please. Don't kill me. I don't want to die.

[Marian rushes over]

Marian

Robin, spare him!

I can't.

[Marian kneels next to Robin]

Marian

Please. Please. Do it for me.

I'm doing this for you. To protect you.

[She puts her hand on his cheek]

Marian

If you love me, you will let him go.

I do love you. And that's why I can't let him live. Because one day, he'll do something to take you away from me!

I wouldn't.

Marian

Please. Don't let his blood taint us.

[Robin lets Allan go, Marian takes the knife and Allan crawls away. As he crawls up to a sack, Marian throws the dagger, which just misses Allan and hits the sack. Allan turns his head to her in shock]

Marian

You owe me your life, don't you ever betray me!

[Allan shakes his head]

I won't. [crawls away]

[Pause]

Marian

It took you a long time to tell me that.

Tell you what?

Marian

You know...

[Robin laughs then so does Marian]

I must have been half concussed.

Marian

Well you'll be fully concussed if you don't watch out.

[Robin smiles]

Marian

My father died thinking he had a wilful daughter.

No! He gave me a message. "It's good to dream."

[Robin kisses her hand and hugs her]

Marian

Don't ever tie me up!

Well, you didn't listen to your orders!

Marian

People were dying!

Marian, you can't be seen with us!

Marian

Why not?! Robin, I am with you!

'Cause if the Sheriff finds out or Gisborne then you can never go back to the castle.

Marian

I don't want to go back.

Well, I'm glad. But you're not ready to make that decision.

Marian

Why would you help me?

I'm not all bad!

Write a note, just say that you want to be left alone - bit of praying, grieving or whatever.

Marian

And all letters from the convent have to be sealed by the Mother Superior.

I'll sort it.

Marian

How?

I'm good with nuns.
