Here. [hands little John and Allan a plate of food]
I thought you said chicken?
Yeah, this is a pretty small chicken, Much.
And have you seen in the trees? No squirrels lately. [Looks at Will, smiling]
All you ever eat is meat and bread. We are surrounded by edible berries and, and leaves! Where's the fruit, the salad?!
There is only one use for leaves around here and you wouldn't want to be eating them afterwards.
[the gang laugh]
[Robin arrives with Daniel]
[Djaq and Will stand up]
We need to go. This is Daniel. His friends are in danger and if I'm not much mistake, so are we.
It's Gisborne. He's creating a new armour. We need to take his toys away, so...arm yourselves.
[The gang get ready]
[Little John looks at him]
[Will looks at him]
[Allan waves at him]
And you must be Djaq, [Djaq smiles at him] the Saracen. Wow!
[Daniel looks at Much]
[Much walks forward, smiles and puts his hands on his hips]
[The gang laughs]
[Daniel looks at Little John]
I just expected you to be taller.
Men tend to lie about their size.
[Daniel has found Mark's tag]
That's Mark's. See, the "M".
We were playing outlaws. I'm Robin Hood.
Well I hope you were better at playing Robin Hood than I am.
No. I let go of his hand. Gisborne's lot were coming and I just ran.
Well then you did the right thing.
If you hadn't run, you would have been caught too and what good is that? Listen, sometimes, in the heat of battle, there isn't time to watch your gang's back.
I don't like waiting. Especially behind a cow.
[Allan and Djaq smile and look at each other]
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.
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'll need something that burns quickly.
Straw's fast but it's not hot enough.
Wood's hot but it's, it's not quick enough.
MMark
Pitch. Fast burning and hot.
[Smiling and pointing at Mark] Pitch! Good thinking, Mark!
[Little John smiles and ruffles Mark's hair]
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.
And the rocks will explode.
Good idea, Will. We'll test it in the morning.
[The gang and the boys laugh. Will walks over to Mark and ruffles his hair]
MMark
I can't see any feathers.
No, and we haven't seen any squirrels.
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!
[The gang and the boys continue to laugh - Mark snorts]
[After Marian has presented the Sheriff with a letter, asking permission to leave the castle and to see Gisborne, though underneath is an order for Daniel to be taken to the castle]
[He prepares the wax and puts it on the parchment]
If it were me, I would slap your fickle face.
[He stamps the wax with his seal]
[Robin is about to fire a flaming arrow at Gisborne, whose armour is covered in pitch]
[He fires the arrow]
[Marian is holding the blacksmith at knife point]
[The Sheriff sees she is holding the blacksmith at knife point]
Marian, what are you doing?
I am asking you to reconsider.
Quite the opposite. I am reminding you that Sir Guy is your most loyal servant.
[Robin pulls Gisborne from the water]
[Robin submerges Gisborne again]
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!
Then I will kill this man.
[Marian points the dagger against the blacksmith]
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]
[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.
You saved my life. I'm grateful.
I could not watch you die and do nothing.
[Marian nods]
[He hands Robin a cup]
[She holds Robin's cup]
[Will, smiling, throws Robin a small bag]
[opening the bag and talking to the boys] Good work, lads.
[Robin holds out four tags]
[Daniel smiles. Robin laughs]
You are now [he passes a tag to the boy sitting by Allan] honorary members of our gang.
[Mark smiles]
[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 smiles and winks at Daniel. Will smiles.]
LJLittle John, Will, Much, Robin, Allan, Djaq
[holding their cups up] We are Robin Hood!
MBMark, boy next to Mark, boy next to Allan, Daniel
[holding their arms up] We are Robin Hood!
[The gang and the boys laugh and smile]
[After being captured by Robin Hood]
Oi! The money you have could feed the poor of Nottingham!
Just let them take what they need, Lukey.
[Will appears and recognises them]
[He runs over to Dan and Luke and hugs them]
[They continue to hug. There is laughter and sobbing]
[Allan smiles, Much hugs Dan and Allan hugs Luke]
Will, you know these people?
[laughing] I'd like you to meet my father Dan Scarlett and my little brother Lukey.
[He playfully grabs Will and Will puts his head up against Luke's head]
My big little brother Lukey!
[Robin smiles]
Dad, I'm an outlaw! I stand up for what I believe in!
[exhales] It doesn't matter.
You let the Sheriff cut off your hand!
That was to save me and you!
[Will puts his hand on Luke's shoulder]
I know. I didn't mean that.
[After dressing as the Nightwatchman and handing out poison pies in Pitt Street]
And that night, the Angel of the Lord went back and forth.
Right, time to spread a bit of...
Happiness. That's right. Time to spread a bit of happiness.
[After the Sheriff's declaration of quarantining Pitt Street due to the supposed pestilence]
SHERIFF, THIS IS NOT RIGHT!
[He is pulled back by Much]
I've just had a look at a young lass and it's not a pestilence.
I've seen a pestilence before in Scarborough. These people must have food and water...and medicine!
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?
[A guard stabs Dan. Will is being held back by Little John]
[Marian turns to see the commotion and sees Luke running over up to Much and Robin, intending to go to Dan but is held back by Much]
[Will is shocked as he watches his father fall to the ground and then looks in shock at the Sheriff]
[to the guard] Well done! Hysteria! Panic! In times of crisis, not very helpful. IT WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!!
[Will, livid with rage tries to get to the Sheriff, but Little John still holds on to him. As Will tries to claw away, Robin runs over to Will]
Will! Will! You can't go up there!
[Much arrives and grabs onto Will]
You heard the Sheriff. Set up those barricades!
There's too many of them Will!
[Will looks at her and calms down. Djaq shakes her head. Luke, grief stricken watches his father being dragged away. Will sees Luke and races to him and hugs him]
[Robin looks confused]
I mean, um, you could die.
Well that's a risk I take every day.
[Robin walks past Joseph]
No, you're right. [Robin turns around] Forgive me. Uh, look, let me help.
Joseph. I'm here by mistake.
Yeah, you're from Leicester, I heard.
Did you see the way those men treated me? Godless.
Well, welcome to Nottingham.
