Ah! [imitates Roy] "Royston White! I fight for King and Country!" Hm? Blahdy-blahdy-blah. Now look, I'll be blunt. I have a favor to ask. I would be very grateful if you'd, uh... [Holds up a dagger.] ...use this on our mutual friend, Robin Hood.
I'd sooner kill my own mother.
[laughs] Yes, what an amazing coincidence. See, when people say [imitates Roy again] "I'd sooner kill my own mother", they don't usually have that statement tested.
[He gestures to Guy, who nods and opens the door to reveal Roy's mother]
M Mary
[emotional] Oh, Royston!
M Mary
I thought you were dead!
I was going to come back.
M Mary
I thought you were dead!
I was going to come back when things were better. But they never got better.
This is good, hm? The horns of dilemma. Kill Robin, or kill Mother. So which is it to be?
You do not understand what dilemma means! It means you have to do one or the other. You have to decide. And if you don't, let's just say I'll decide for you. Hm? So Shall we say sunrise tomorrow? Hm? I don't know about you, but I work best to a deadline. Of course, when people say "deadline" they don't usually mean that somebody will be dead at the end of it!
[Robin and Roy are ending food over the walls of the village of Clun attached to arrows] You know that's a waste of arrows.
You could just throw them over.
Yeah you could. But where would be the fun in that?
So...you never told me, when I was in the Holy Land, you must have had suitors.
[She sticks the needle into his wound]
Aahh! Well, you've got to admit, it is surprising you're not married.
It is, and yet when one consider that marriage requires a man, perhaps not. A word of advice, your charms, such as they are, ceased working on me at least five years ago.
[She pulls on the thread as she stitches his wound]
[Pause]
[Pause. Robin looks at her]
[She pulls on the thread again]
His mother lives in Knighton.
What? Because I'm a woman.
Because I have to go. My men are waiting.
[laughs] The call of the wild.
Marian...why is it everything you say to me sounds like a criticism?
I do not know. I suppose this is the lives we have chosen, always different directions.
And yours is the better direction?
I work within the system. It is the only way.
Not at night. You dress up as, who is it, The Nightwatchman?
I do not taunt the Sheriff. I do not publicly flout his decisions.
That was different, it was an emergency!
And you were wonderful. You were bold and...and I wish there were more emergencies.
Is it all just a big joke to you?!
Is it all so serious to you?!
Well forgive me for being careful, but so far, no-one has had their tongue cut out because of me! Take your baby.
[She hands him Seth and storms off]
[After Roy has tried to kill Robin]
My mother! They've got my mother!
And the story about the baby, that was a lie, too?
[As his mother is about to be hanged.] You'll rot in hell for this!
Master! You cannot give yourself up every five minutes!
I'm going... [points to her right] ...this way.
I'm going... [points the opposite way.]
Always opposite directions.
[repeated line]
My name is Royston White, I fight for Robin Hood and King Richard!
[regarding Roy] Him...I liked.
[Watching Annie and Seth ride away on a cart]
You know, I'm not going to miss that baby.
[He walks off]
[He walks off]
Nothing like a tragedy to bring out the do-gooders.
[After Djaq tells Much to renounce his god]
I do not believe in God. Nope. I don't. There.
[Allan touches Much on the shoulder, scaring him]
Come on. Help me tie Bricker up.
[Much looks at Djaq, who smiles, then follows Allan]
[quietly while looking up at the sky] I do. Obviously.
S The Sheriff
Women, how can they manage to hit that particular pitch that makes you want to pierce your eardrum with a stick?
[The slaver that the outlaws let go comes running in, out of breath, coughing and wheezing. He gestures away]
I think he wants us to follow him...
S Slaver
[gasping] The mine's...!
S Slaver
[gasping] R-Ro-Robin Hood...!
Mine, Robin Hood, fire... [realizes] SOLDIERS!!! SOLDIERS!!!
