Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Page #2

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Great one? Really? Did you give yourself this name? It was a joke! Azeem the great one! I'm home! Look! Mistletoe. Many maids lost their resole to me thanks to this little plant.

AZEEM:

In my country we talk to our women, we do not drug them with plants

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

What do you know of women?

AZEEM:

Where I come from, Christian, there are women of such beauty. That they can poses a mans mind so, that they would be willing to die for her.

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Wait. Was that why you were to be executed? Because of a woman?

That's it, isn't it? That's it!

AZEEM:

It is close to sunset

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Who was she? The Mullah's daughter? Another man's wife? What's her name?

AZEEM:

Is there no sun in this cursed country? Which way is east?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Her name

AZEEM:

East?!

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Her name

AZEEM:

Yasmina

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

That way!

Robin points Azeem to the East

AZEEM:

You are sure?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

I would know blindfolded, I'm five miles from home. Was she worth it?

AZEEM:

Worth dying for

TRANSITION:

7 EXT./ ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE - CLOSE TO SUNSET

Little boy is being chased by soldiers and dogs

SOLDIER 1

You're dogsmeat, son, you know that?

SOLDIER 2

Get down here, you now what you've done. Down!

GUY:

You're not playing by the rules, boy! Deer don't climb trees. Perhaps he thinks he's a gay bird! Shall we teach him to fly?

SOLDIERS:

Yeah!

GUY:

Get him down!

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Hold! I'm curious:what man or creature is so fearsome that it takes six men to attack it.

GUY:

This is no affair of yours

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Or are we treating the devil himself? A small boy. A truly dangerous animal

GUY:

He killed one of the Sheriff of Nottingham's deer

WULF:

We were starving! We needed the meat!

GUY:

I advice you to move on, pilgrim, this is the Sheriff's land

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Wrong, this is my land and my tree. So whatever's in it also belongs to me

GUY:

Might I have the pleasure of your name, before I have you run through?

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Robin of Locksley

GUY:

Well, well, Locksley. Welcome home! Kill him!

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Azeem, it's time to redeem that vow!

GUY:

Release the hounds!!

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Get up, Azeem!

Points his swords in Guy's neck

Now, sir. If you'd be so kind to give me your name, before I run you through:

GUY:

Guy of Gisborne, the Sheriff's cousin. The little bastard was poaching deer

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

Poaching? Is it not a greater crime to starve a family?

GUY:

Go on, Locksley, go on

ROBIN OF LOCKSLEY

I've seen enough blood spilled to last two lifetimes. Now get off my land! And tell Nottingham what happens to scum when they pick on small children!

And you! (tegen Azeem) you've travelled ten thousand miles to save my life and then leave me to be butchered?!
