scene 4 act 2 Flashcards
start of scene
how could this happen
it;s not your fault
of course it is
you told her not to go
but i backed down. I thought it was a game, a little sport to keep us busy and feed our vanity
you couldn’t have known that she’d attack prince john
well i should have known! and I suspected I did. And I put all of us in danger. God Almighty! It’s so clear to me now. We have a duty to keep england free until King richard returns, that is our sacred calling, and I had no right to let Deorwynn get within a hundred feet of those men!
Robin-
if they hurt her in any way, i’ll murder them. I swear to God i’ll murder every one of them.
thank god for that
where have they put her?
the gaol
can we break her out
well i can’t just leaver her there, she’ll be scared to death!
John, do what you need to. I have a plan myself.
I might as well die with you as with a mutton pie in my hands.
Marian, listen. I need you to get word to your uncle. Tell him I’ll exchange myself for Deorwynn.
we should see what little john does first
no
why not?
because theres no time. they could execute her by tomorrow morning
and they’ll execute you the minute they get hold of you
good. let them try. let’s see what happens. Marian she’s still a girl I failed her once.
Robin.
I haven’t done enough for these people. They follow me. I follow them. We travel together. That’s the bargain we make in life. We’re here for each other. Rich, poor, english, foreign. that’s our bargain for living. Otherwise we’re nothing.
do you know that you’ve become the man i dreamed about in Aquitaine?
Not if I fail Deorwynn I’m not
youve changed robin. you’ve changed so much
i have so much to do
