DAVID:

Now!

A donation is you please

SARAH:

A donation? For what?

MATT:

For passage through Sherwood.

MARIAN:

Very well, come and get it.

You stupid scruff, how dare you attack us?!

MATT:

It's my job, my lady

MARIAN:

Your job? And who's your employer?

MATT:

Robin Hood!

MARIAN:

I insist on seeing him at once!

CUT TO:

43 EXT./ LAKE AND WATERFALL/ SHERWOOD FOREST

DAVID:

No, you do not go down there!

SARAH:

You'll fall, my lady

DAVID:

He's not expecting you!

SARAH:

My lady's intrusion is simply treats his tracks (zijn verdiende loon)

DAVID:

Out of the way, you old tramp!

You can't go down there! I told you not down there!

SARAH:

Oh, what's that?

DAVID:

Cover your eyes!

SARAH:

My lady, don't! If you had said:

DAVID:

You've got visitors!

No, don't look at me like that, it wasn't my fault.

It was Matt's!

SARAH:

Carefully, it's slippy down there!

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Hello

MARIAN:

What are you doing here?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Taking a lady's advice

What happened to your eye, Bull?

DAVID:

We were set up by ten:twelve:fifteen large big lads!

SARAH:

Oh, yeah?

DAVID:

Yeah

CUT TO:

44 EXT./ CAMP/ SHERWOOD FOREST

MARIAN:

You've been busy!

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

We have guests!

JOHN:

Bring them down!

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

It works, kind off

AZEEM:

Of course it works!

CUT TO:

45 EXT./ CAMP/ SHERWOOD FOREST

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

That's good, WULF. Can you do it with a little distraction?

Can you make the shot when you must?

JOHN:

Show him, Wulf!

MARIAN:

Can you?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

: treat

JOHN:

Is the shirt coming off, or not?

MARIAN:

Well done!

CUT TO:

46 EXT./ CAMP/ SHERWOOD FOREST

FRIAR TUCK:

This is grain, which any fool can eat. But for which the Lord intended a more divine meaning of consumption. Let us give praise to our maker and glory to his bounty, by learning about:beer.

CUT TO:

47 INT./ EXT./ TREEHOUSE/ CAMP/ SHERWOOD FOREST

MARIAN:

Did you bring me here to brag?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

This is blood money, Marian. It's intended to bribe King Richard's enemy's to unite them against him. We intercepted it.

MARIAN:

But who would:
?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Nottingham!

MARIAN:

No:
Nottingham would not dare challenge the king!

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Well, the King is not in England to be challenged, is he. While he's away he may loose his country. You thought:you thought I was keeping it all, didn't you?

Didn't you?

MARIAN:

Here, a contribution to your cause

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Keep it

MARIAN:

No, this dagger would fetch such a great price!

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Keep it

MARIAN:

Oh no, it's not dear to me! I mean, well:It's not. I'm saying everything wrong:Cheers!

How do I get down?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Wait, wait! We don't go that way anymore.

MARIAN:

I'm happy to hear that

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Grab on!

We have a rule here, you know. Once someone has seen the way to our camp, that person can not leave. There are too many lives at stake.

MARIAN:

That's why Sarah and I asked to be blindfolded.

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Oh. Well, perhaps you might join us for dinner?

MARIAN:

Perhaps:

CUT TO:

48 EXT./ CAMP/ SHERWOOD FOREST

AZEEM:

Salaam, little one

BOY:

Did God paint you?

AZEEM:

Did God paint me? Haha:for certain

BOY:

Why?

AZEEM:

Because Allah loves wondrous variety.

CUT TO:

49 EXT./ CAMP/ SHERWOOD FOREST

MARIAN:

How is it that a once arrogant young nobleman, has found contentment living rough with the salt of the earth?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

I've seen knights in armour panic at the first hymns of battle. And I've seen the loneliest, unarmed squire pull a spear from his own body, to defend a dying horse. Nobility is not a birthright, it's defined by ones actions.

MARIAN:

It's interesting to hear you say that.

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

I didn't. My father did.

MARIAN:

Did the holy quest raise your hatred of him?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

I don't know. All I know was that our last words spoken in this world were spoken in anger

I was lost after my mother died. My father too and for a short time he found comfort in the arms of another woman. I thought he was betraying my mother's memory. For the love of a twelve years old boy who would never forgive him. Anyway, who says I'm content? I've my plans for the future

MARIAN:

No?! A grander scheme than this?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

No, a simpler one. A home, a family...you know

MARIAN:

Men speak conveniently of love when it's serves their purpose. And when it doesn't it's a burden to them. Robin of the Hood, prince of thieves. Is he capable of love?

TRANSITION:

50 INT./ EXT./ WOODEN HOUSE/ CAMP/ SHERWOOD FOREST

WULF:

Father! Father! Mother, she's dying!

FANNY:

(moans)

AZEEM:

Fanny, your baby has not turned! It can not be born without help.

FRIAR TUCK:

He's a devil's seed. Don't listen to him, he will kill her!

AZEEM:

If you do not listen to me, she will certainly die!

FANNY:

No!

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

The good friar has done all he can. I suggest you let the Moore try.

FRIAR TUCK:

So be it! And it'll be on your head, I warned you!

AZEEM:

Marian, get me a needle, thread and water. Hurry!

MARIAN:

Yes! Come with me! Come, John!

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

What are you going to do?

AZEEM:

I've seen this many times. With horses.

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

With horses?

MARIAN:

Bite down! Bite down, yes!

AZEEM:

Help me

MARIAN:

Spread your arms

AZEEM:

It'll be alright

FRIAR TUCK:

I tell you, John, the barbarian is killing her!

FANNY:

No!!!

WULF:

But father:
?!

JOHN:

Don't worry, boy!

MARIAN:

Your son, my lady! There you are:

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

You truly are a great one

JOHN:

My son! Look at this little baby, isn't he wonderful?

FRAIR TUCK:

Today the Lord has taught me a fine lesson. Although I may think I'm godly, I know I'm not worldly. Please:Not come my Barbarian friend! For you and I open a barrel together, to do our best to save each others souls.

AZEEM:

Alas, I'm not permitted

FRIAR:

Fine then, you'll talk. I'll drink

CUT TO:

51 EXT./ CAMP/ SHERWOOD FOREST - NIGHT

WILL SCARLET:

May I have this dance?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

This lady is spoken for.

CUT TO:

52 EXT./ LAKE/ SHERWOOD FOREST - FOGGY MORNING

MARIAN:

Why this way?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

So you can not find the way back, when you're forced by others to tell the way.

It was good to see you again, Marian.

MARIAN:

It was good to be seen

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

I have two favours to ask of you:

MARIAN:

One:
?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Take Duncan with you. I fear for his health for what lies ahead. Besides I grew tired of his bellyaching.

DUNCAN:

You wish me to leave, master Robin?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Old friend, listen to me. Can you bring Lady Marian safely home? I fear for her safety.

DUNCAN:

Of course, Sire!

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Good. Bull?!

MARIAN:

And two?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Yes, two..

You're King Richard's cousin. You can give word to him of Nottingham's plans. He would believe you.

MARIAN:

If the sheriff found out, I could loose al that I have

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

But will you do it for your king?

MARIAN:

No, I'll do it for you!

DUNCAN:

He fancies you, my Lady. I'm blind, but some things I can still see.
