Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Page #3

AZEEM:

I fulfil my vow's when I choose!

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

And that does not include prayertimes or mealtimes or any time I'm outnumbered by six to one?

AZEEM:

You whine like a mule. You're still alive!

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Have no fear, come down boy. Is it true boy, did you kill a deer?

WULF:

Hundreds of them!

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

You've scared him

AZEEM:

Interesting place this England!

CUT TO:

8 INT./ SHERRIF'S PRIVATE CHAMBERS / NOTTINGHAM CASTLE

Guy enters the Sherrif private rooms by climbing some stairs. The Sherrif is in his room with a whore.

GUARD:

Hold on, sir! The Sheriff doesn't want to be disturbed!

SHERIFF:

Cousin. I trust you justify your intrusion with news of profound value?

GUY:

I met a hooded man today who made me warn you not to harm his people

SHERIFF:

Who told you to cover up? His name?

GUY:

Robin of Locksley

SHERIFF:

The prodigal son returns! He's a whelp. This girl could vest him! Put it There!

GUY:

Well, this whelp, has vested four of my men

SHERIFF:

Your men were probably drunk! But you survived, cousin!

GUY:

I've barely survived. He has a companion, a dark skinned foreigner with a dark face of Islam and a Saracens sword

SHERIFF:

Yes yes, I'm sure it would take an army to match these roves

Locksley must have visited his manor and find the home fire still burning!

CUT TO:

9 EXT./ INT./ RUINS OF LOCKSLEY'S CASTLE - NIGHT

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Father?! Father?! Anyone here? Duncan? No:No!!

AZEEM:

Who is it?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

It's my father:
Who's there, who's there?

An old man appears in the ruins of the castle

DUNCAN:

Master Robin, is that you?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Duncan?

DUNCAN:

Oh, praise thy, I thought that God had abandoned us

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Duncan, my father!

DUNCAN:

It's a miracle:

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Why didn't you cut him down?

DUNCAN:

Never thought to hear your voice again:

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Are you deaf?

AZEEM:

Easy!! Look at him!

DUNCAN:

I would have done it, if I could see.

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Who did this to you, Duncan?

DUNCAN:

Guy, Guy of Gisborne:and the SHERIFF and his witch looking on

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Why?

DUNCAN:

They said the Sheriff captured your father worshipping the devil. He has signed a confession before the bishop

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

No, that's not possible!

DUNCAN:

Nottingham declared all of Locksley's land forfeited

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Do you believe the charges?

DUNCAN:

Not even when they took my eyes

CUT TO:

10 EXT./ IN FRONT OF LOCKSLEY'S CASTLE

Robin, Azeem and Duncan knealing around Locksley's grave.

AZEEM:

We must go

DUNCAN:

He loved you 'till the end, young master. He never gave up hope of your return
