Robin Hood · Season 1
Saddle my horse.
Oh, I don't really do saddling.
Do as you're told.
Sure.
[Gisborne walks away]
Where are we going?
Ripley Convent.
Yeah? Hang on doesn't she want to be on her own, grieving and that?
[Gisborne runs back to Allan and kicks him]
[livid] GET MY HORSE!!!
Alright. Alright.
Thomas was my hero. Whatever he did, I had to do too. And when he joined the Knights Templar...I knew I had to follow. I had only just joined when...when he died.
Thomas. You look like him. That's why I recognized you.
I was determined to carry on for him. To be as good as him. To get to the very top. I joined the King's private guard.
[To Robin] Like us.
[Robin winks then smiles at Much]
I can't believe we're trusting him. He tried to kill us.
Of all of us, you and I know what war can do to a man.
I've been to war, but I didn't come back a mad killer.
Well, the demons work in different ways, don't they?
[Much sighs]
But they're still the same demons.
I've got demons. You've never held me like you held him.
Much.
You haven't.
[Pause]
You never listen to my story.
It's because I was there with you. It's my story too.
Yeah, I know. It's just we never talked about it. We never talk.
Alright. Well let's talk.
No. Not if you're doing it to humour me. No.
Oh, come on, Much!
Whatever I say you never listen to me anyway.
You know that's not true.
[Much and then Robin stop walking]
[Much gestures to Carter with the hilt of his sword]
I told you I recognised Carter from the Crusades. You didn't believe me. You'd believe Marian. You spend time with her.
Much.
[He glances over to the other outlaws and puts his arms on Much's shoulders and sighs]
Old friend...you have a special place in my heart.
Do I?
Well do I really need to say it?
No. Of course not.
[Robin shakes Much's hands in a brotherly fashion and walks off]
Just once in a while would be nice.
We have...bad days. We have good days. And when we have Robin Hood laid out dead on our table, [Shouts at Robin Hood] WE HAVE THE BEST DAYS OF OUR LIVES!!!!!
Marian, do you really expect me to believe that you have given yourself to God?
I assure you I haven't given myself to anybody -- yet.
Good. Because until you do, I will always believe that there is a chance for you and me.
I need to think.
Stop thinking. Come home to me!
You burned my home to the ground!
If I could take that back -- if I could show you the side of me that wants to build a home, not burn it down...
I've seen it!
Then why do you reject it?! I thought I might never see you again.
[Noticing Marian with Gisborne] [Whispering] What's she doing here?
She saved your life.
Don't kill anyone unless you have to.
Spoilsport.
[To Carter, regarding the amount of guards and Carter's statement that the guards will kill them] Aah! Come on, we're much to good for that!
[after jumping off the turret walkway of the castle into a cart full of hay, after guards have chased them] Do you do this often?
I seem to, yeah.
Y'know, it really would be easier to kill them.
[Robin laughs]
I know.
[They get up]
But where would be the fun in that, eh?
Well, you disobeyed me.
I saved your life.
You kissed Gisborne.
And you tied me up.
You could have got us all killed.
I'm sorry. I'm not used to taking orders, but I can learn. I'd like to be a part of your gang.
And I'm not used to having you in the forest but...I'll learn.
Truce?
Yeah, truce.
[They walk down to Carter who is astride a horse]
Goodbye, my friend.
[Carter waves back at Robin and looks at Will who nods at him]
[Carter leaves]
[Robin has folded his arms and Marian tries to hold his hand. Robin notices this and releases his other hand and holds her hand]
[Robin laughs and Marian smiles]
[As Carter is about to turn a corner, he stops and waves goodbye to the gang. Will, Much, Djaq and Little John wave back and Robin and Marian smile]
Give us the letter!
It's for Robin of Locksley and his eyes only!
Just give it to us or we'll take it from you.
[Arrowshot is heard and an arrow comes through a guard's chest, he falls over revealing Robin standing behind him.]
Don't you know it's rude to read other people's mail?
Do you practice little speeches like that?
Like what?
"You'll be so full of arrows you'll look like hedgehogs?"
No. It just came to mind.
You practice don't you?
No!
Would you like to say a few words?
[Robin nods. Long pause]
[Softly] Go on then.
Will you marry me?
[Softly] What?
[She smiles]
When I first held my bow, I knew. It felt right. Like it had been made for me. And that's how I feel about you. I promised your father I would protect and look after you.
[Marian smiles and nods slightly]
But it works both ways. I look after my bow because it protects and looks after me. Together we're stronger. So...
[He walks over to her and genuflects]
Marian. [Whispering] Will you marry me?
[Marian exhales/laughs in shock]
[Quietly] Robin, of every single man in the world....you are the only one...
Well is that a yes?
[Quietly] Will you let me finish?
[Robin exhales]
I'm sorry.
[Quietly] The only one who would... propose over a fresh grave...by comparing me to your weapon.
[As she says "weapon" she laughs]
Well is that a no?
[Softly] Who'll give me away?
I can ask the King.
[Marian nods and then so does Robin]
[Marian exhales]
[Softly] So we find Lardner and bring the King home. Defeat the Sheriff and then get married.
[She smiles as she says "then get married"]
[Robin smiles, looks away, smiling and lowers his head and nods]
[As he's standing up] [Whispering] Well that sounds like a plan.
[Marian laughs and smiles and wraps her arms around Robin's neck and they kiss]
[The Fool is entertaining the Sheriff, Gisborne and others]
"Richard the Lionheart", they call him! Now, going into battle in a foreign land, it's not the heart of a lion you want, is it? Since when did a heart hurt anybody?! Come on, then! Come on! I’ve got the heart of a lion! You can imagine the Saracens translating that, can't you? "He's got the what of a lion?!" The teeth? The jaws? The claws? Nooooo! The heart! Richard the Lionclaw, "Jerusalem's yours, come in, sit down, help yourself!" Lionheart?!
[to Gisborne] He's good. Very good.
Forget about it! It's no wonder it’s taking so long over there, is it? [Laughter. The Sheriff laughs and Gisborne smiles] Mind you, mind you... It's better than his brother, isn't it? Prince John. [deadly silence] What's Prince John doing? Sitting at home? Heart of a dormouse?
[Two soldiers seize the Fool]
[angrily] Prince John is a friend of mine.
[freeing himself] It's a joke! It's what I do! I do other things. Let's try some soothsaying. [to a guard who has a hold of him] Sit down! [He makes the guard sit] Sit down! [The guard stands up again] I'll make some predictions, and then I'll make them come true. Someone in this room will bare their buttocks to the Sheriff tonight!
TAKE THAT MAN TO THE DUNGEONS NOW!!!
[As the soldiers seize him again and start dragging him away] Look, hang on! Prediction two: Sir Guy's joint will rise from the dead!
What's that supposed to mean?
Your woodcock, Sir Guy. I can bring it back to life.
Get rid of him!
[The guards start dragging him away]
You'll like my third prediction, it's about Prince John. One day, Prince John will be King of England!
I know that already.
But did you know that there's something in Nottingham that can stop him?
Like what?
[The Fool puts his legs around the beam]
Lardner's Ring.
What is "Lardner's Ring"?
Well, let me go and I'll tell you.
[to the soldiers] Lock him in the cellar overnight. Flog him in the morning. And then he'll tell us! Now that really is funny!
[The Sheriff and others roar with laughter; Gisborne smiles]
You should listen to me, I know what I'm talking about!
[As he is being dragged away, The Fool's legs are still wrapped around the beam, causing his trousers to fall down]
Ah! The first prediction! I told you, and the others will follow. Beware the power of Lardner's Ring!
[The Fool smiles as he is dragged out of the room]
Where's, er, where's Will and Djac?
They said they've gone to get some honey.
They'll be back soon.
If that's all they've gone for. Well, why does it need two of them? Hmm? "Honey" is one of those things.
What things?
What do you call it when you use a sweet, innocent word but what you really mean is something else?
A lie.
No.
A euphemism.
Euphemism. Exactly. Yes, there's a bit too much honey going on around here, if you ask me.
[Robin and Marian chuckle and smile ]
Will and Djac nipping off together. You two going on long walks in the forest.
He's jealous.
[Robin smiles and raises his eyebrows]
What happened to fighting for justice and rebelling against the Sheriff?! We should be sticking together, instead we're splitting into couples. And to be perfectly honest, [he puts his arm around Little John] I don't fancy mine much.
[Marian chuckles]
Anyway, while you two have been off gallivanting...
We haven't been gallivanting!
I know what you were doing
We were burying a corpse in the forest.
[To Robin] Is that a euphemism?
