Robin Hood Page #6

---

I brought the bride.

- Let him through!

- Raise the portcullis!

You have changed,

Marian.

Are you all right?

I've never been better.

Look at you. Look what

she's done to herself.

It's nothing to what

I'm going to do to you.

- The hair is not a great improvement.

- It'll scrub out.

- Clean her up!

- You can scrub me, you can dip me in perfume.

It's too late, Miles.

What you want has been

given to another man...

with the greatest

of pleasure!

Go!

Sir, if I've, uh...

If I've been

of some service...

...perhaps there's some small token...

uh, reward...

You found her where?

In Sherwood Forest, sir.

I recognized her straight off.

So then you're not

one of Hode's men?

Oh, no, sir. Not me, sir.

No, he's not a man to be trusted, sir...

...from what I hear.

You are a liar!

Take him down.

Find out everything he knows...

the hideout, weapons, numbers.

Make him sing

any way you please!

No, sir, please! I only

did it for the reward!

I'll tell you everything

about Robin Hood, sir!

Everything, sir! Please, no!

You're sure it was her?

- And they marry tomorrow?

- That's the word.

- I've got to get into the castle.

- It can't be done.

The royal guard are everywhere.

They're dangerous men.

- But forgive me, I must go back.

- Thank you.

You're a good friend.

This wedding

cannot take place.

There are ways into that castle.

Emlyn could drive his cart in.

Robin, you cannot put us all

in danger to stop a wedding.

It may be All Fools'

Day tomorrow...

...but there's no need

for us to carry on as if we're...

- Much, you're a genius.

- Huh?

They expect us to wait here

for them like frightened rabbits.

Harry's probably told them

exactly what they need to know.

But let us not do

what they expect.

Let us take the battle to them

right into their mighty fortress.

- Good, but how?

- As Much says, tomorrow is All Fools' Day...

when the fools' parade cannot be refused

admission, even to the greatest castle.

So we'll have a parade.

Friar Tuck will be the lord of misrule

riding on Emlyn's cart.

Everybody will join in...

mummers, giants, jesters...

...a whole procession

of fools.

Sir Miles, my lady

is not decent.

No, Nicole.

Your lady

is not decent.

But I'll have her

all the same.

Does she understand?

She will be wed tomorrow.

She will stand beside me,

and when the question comes...

...she will answer, "I will. "

You are a foolish,

brutal man, Miles.

Your desire disgusts me!

I will not marry you...

...tomorrow or any day.

I have willingly given myself

to another man.

You will marry me tomorrow!

And your other man

will surely die.

She is your charge.

Make sure she's there

in the morning...

...properly dressed...

...and willing!

Nicole, you're a woman

of great appetite.

Most women are...

...creatures of appetite.

What men don't seem

to understand.

Does it offend you?

No...

...but we must move.

The great wedding day.

I go to bed

a richer man if...

She'll be there.

My brother raised

a proud girl.

No wonder Robert loves her.

That's why he'll be here.

He is here already.

He can't stay away.

Fix that ruby. You're all fingers and thumbs.

Come on, girl.

Put it in the center.

Don'tjust stand there gawping.

Everybody stand back,

out of the way.

You're the most beautiful bride

England's ever seen.

I am the most pitiful bride

England's ever seen.

L...

Make way for the ship of fools!

I am the captain,

the lord of misrule.

Now winter is cracking

the doors of spring.

Here come we

to rejoice and sing...

...to play the fool,

to laugh and quarrel...

...and turn the whole world

upside down.

So loose the animals

into your bed.

Dance and tumble,

pipe and play.

- The sun has driven...

- Stop!

Jack Frost... Away.

You rabble don't

get in here today. Off you go!

On All Fools' Day,

neither rich man, nor poor...

...on the guises

may close his door...

...or laughter andjoy

will be his nevermore.

So open up in the name of folly!

Bring us some wine and fill our belly.

We'll have some fun

with jests and song.

We'll make you laugh

and we'll right all wrong.

Let them in.

Take it up!

We come here today in the sight

of Almighty God...

...to join these two together

in holy matrimony.

Down with the demon king!

Liberate the devils!

Here,

take these quickly!

- Come on!

- Hand 'em out!

Come on. Fight!

Come on. Fight!

Come on!

Come on!

Marian, daughter of

Sir Reginald Daguerre of Westlake...

...do you swear

before Almighty God...

...to take this man,

Miles Folcanet, knight of Derby...

...as your lawful

wedded husband...

...to have and to hold,

to cleave to in the flesh...

...to love, honor and obey...

...for richer, for poorer,

in sickness and in health?

You say, "I do. "

Marian?

I will not marry him...

Not before God

or anyone else.

Draw!

Shoot!

Draw!

Shoot!

I'll take her. Whether she says yes or no,

it doesn't matter.

In the sight of God,

all things are made plain, my son.

And it seems quite plain

she doesn't want you.

Abbot, your opinion

was not asked for...

...nor for that matter

was your version of God's opinion.

Pronounce us

man and wife now...

...or you'll be

consulting God direct!

Take the castle!

Come on!

Good morning, Baron.

Good morning, Sir Miles.

Hold tight, Marian.

- Hode.

- Folcanet.

- Hode.

- Folcanet.

This time you have bitten off

more than you can chew!

Lecherous...

...treacherous...

...evil...

Saxon...

...lout!

- Please, I'm dying. A priest.

- I am a priest!

I must confess my sins

before I meet my maker!

- You haven't got time.

- Please, give me a blessing!

My son...

Your sins are forgiven.

You have played your last trick.

Come on! This way!

Daguerre!

You have blood on your hands, Baron...

the blood of my people!

And for what reason?

To keep us down...

...and to keep your incompetent kings

upon a dung heap.

Ha! Incompetent for a Saxon!

You lost, remember? You know why?

Because you're too incompetent to win.

Lie!

We will make England the greatest nation

in the world in spite of the English!

A nation of serfs

led by thieves...

...plunderers and autocrats.

Is that really what

you want, Baron?

We could conquer Europe.

More serfs,

more autocrats.

Give me back my country.

It is my country too.

Then drop your sword.

And out goes your candle!

Marian!

Robin!

I'll cut you in two

like the viper you are.

Beware my

flickering tongue, Miles.

You're dead, snake.

Welcome to hell.

My friends, I,

baron and feudal lord of this shire...

...do here, in your sight,

pay homage to those...

whose claim to this land

is older and more sacred than mine...

...to sir Robert Hode

and to all of you.

Stand up, Roger.

- We all live on this island.

- We do.

And to point the way

to the future...

...let us have a wedding between Saxon

and Norman, between Robert and Marian!

Provided, of course,

she agrees.

I will not marry to symbolize a peace

or to ratify a treaty.
