[King Richard has led Nasir to the King's tent and he walks across the room and takes off his helmet and hood]
I rule from the front lines.
[He turns to Nasir]
That's why your prince will never defeat me.
[Richard walks over to a basin and washes his face]
[Richard looks up at Nasir. Carter enters]
You have the password. [Richard puts on his crown] Speak.
My prince has considered your calls for peace.
He promises nothing. But he is prepared to talk. He would like to meet, alone in the desert. Man to man.
Outside Imuiz. The town ruined by your crusaders.
CCarter
Your majesty... is this wise?
[Richard turns away]
My prince knew you didn't want peace.
[Nasir turns away, and starts to walk away]
[Richard turns back as does Nasir]
[Carter looks down, disappointed]
My prince would like to give you a gift... as a sign of his goodwill.
[Nasir looks at Carter]
[Carter leaves]
There are... men... in your country that would want to kill you.
Tell him thank you but I already know about the Black Knights.
And I will deal with them when I return.
Which is why they have recruited your most loyal servant.
He is a man who you would trust... with your life. And he travels with a Saracen woman. He will offer to protect you. And then... when your guard is down... he will slit your throat.
[Pause. Nasir walks backwards, still looking at King Richard and then leaves the tent. Carter returns]
CCarter
This meeting... I'll come with you.
CCarter
Your majesty, to meet Saladin... alone, unprotected.
Sometimes peace requires more bravery than war.
[The gang have arrived at the King's camp]
[To a guard] I'm Robin of Locksley and these are my friends. The King's loyal subjects.
More than that. My master and I served in his private guard.
We have urgent business with the King.
[The guard walks away]
Saving his life, actually.
[The gang walk through the camp, making their way to the King's tent]
John, look. [He points to the King's tent] [Shouting] The King's tent! Ut Prosim! Our motto. Latin.
[Much shakes his head. Robin picks up his pace and walks next to Much]
[Robin nods]
Good days. Well, not good.[Robin smiles] Death, destruction, all that, y'know. But... Ut Prosim, lads.
[Carter runs down the hill]
[Robin runs over to Carter, he laughs and they hug]
I thought you'd given up fighting.
[Carter walks over to Much]
CCarter
I'm still fighting. But for peace.
[Carter shakes Much's hands and nods at him]
Hey, John! You're dying for England. Even if you're not there.
[Quietly] I'm not being funny...it's the King of England who put us here in the first place!
The Sheriff spun him a story! The moment we came here, we were marked men. [Emotionally] It's not the King's fault!
[Pause]
Well, say the words then, handsome.
"I, Robin, take you, Marian..."
Now is a good time, I think. We are in the company of the best witnesses England has to offer.
[Much nods, Marian looks at him and smiles]
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...
[Pause]
[Much starts sobbing]
In sickness or in health. [Pause. Robin sighs] To love and to cherish. [Pause] Til death do us part.
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 looks at Much and laughs]
[Much shakes his head and whimpers]
CCarter
He's not crying. He's laughing on the wrong side of his face.
[Everyone then shouts "Carter!" and laughs]
CCarter
Sorry. [He walks over to Little John and cuts him free from the rope] Out here you can lose your head.
[Carter gives Little John the knife and Little John walks over to Much and starts to cut the ropes. Carter walks over to Robin]
Ho! I thought I didn't like you!
[Little John unties him and Much falls down]
[Carter cuts Robin free]
[To Carter] Come on. We are Robin Hood.
[Everyone gathers in a circle, with Little John in the middle. Much and Marian drink water]
No. Everybody say it. [Emphasising the syllables with his hand to Carter] We... are Robin Hood. SAY IT!
LJLittle John, Much, Allan, Will, Djaq, Robin
We are Robin Hood!
