scene 8 Flashcards
Weapons!
Sheriff, please! As you can see im unarmed
im prince john and you may kiss my ring if you like
i’m robin of sherwood and you may kiss another part of my anatomy if you like
i like your style, though it is a bit antediluvian
well i don’t like yours your grace. not if it means killing innocent people.
name one
gladly. let me tell you a story. about six weeks ago Sir Guy and the sheriff detained a man named Much the Miller. Do you remember? It was the first time we met.
a crime resulting in specific punishments, as you know
“punishments” you make them sound just
they are
they’re not! And I was forced to leave the man with you because out of cowardice, you called your guards. and then last night: in the forest, my men were gathered around a friendly fire, when my companion, John Little, who’d gone for a walk returned with a man in his arms.
FATHERRRRRR
Much the Miller bled to death that from the wounds inflicted by your soldiers on your order and his daughters heart is broken in two and I tell you that this HAS TO STOP
we’ve had to crack down a bit in order to pay the ransom
and raise taxes that no one can pay that in fact go into your pocket
i am now regent of england, your ruler until we get dear richard back
do you see the cutthroats you’re spending your time with marian? it has to stop!
and who’s going to stop it?
i am, and all the saxons that you have starved and beaten so you can make yourselves rich. but i’m warning you, for every Saxon you murder, a Norman will die. For every child who suffers, there will be revenge. Our people deserve to live in without fear in a society that protects them.
perhaps we can come up with a compromise for you?
marian, i want you to come with me
i won’t
don’t you see what theyre doing
they’re upholding the law
the laws they pass for their own benefit
but when king richard returns -
he won’t return without our help. John will see to it. come to the great oak in Sherwood tomorrow i’m going to speak to the people and we can talk afterward
robin, you’re making trouble
that’s odd. i thought i was saving england
robin -
just slip away. goodbye until then
you’re leaving
i think i’d better since your friends over there are planning to kill me in the next five. no three seconds two one.
hey! ah!
get back! make a single move and I cut his throat
