Dean Lennox Kelly: Malcolm

Quotes 

• Malcolm : I want you to listen and understand. Someone's life depends on it.

  Guy of Gisborne : I find it hard to understand when I am tied. Now, free me!

  Malcolm : I'll free you - free you from the bad blood that shackles you to each other.

  Guy of Gisborne : Well, maybe there are good reasons for that bad blood. What do you know about our lives, anyway?

  Malcolm : More then you do. I know the truth.

  Robin Hood : The truth about what?

  Malcolm : About how your parents really died.

  Guy of Gisborne : You know about the fire. So?

  Robin Hood : It was never a secret. Everybody knew that we both became orphans that day.

  Malcolm : There are still things you don't know about your past.

• Robin Hood : My father loved one woman only, and that was my mother.

  Guy of Gisborne : That's just what you were told. The truth was kept from you by your precious father.

  Robin Hood : What are you talking about?

  Guy of Gisborne : He shielded you from reality like he always did! You were never made to face the consequences of your actions.

  Malcolm : ...you were once on a very different path, Robin.

• Young Robin : Do you think Mother watches me? From heaven?

  Malcolm : I'm sure she does. I'm sure she sees everything you do.

  Young Robin : Father, it was me that shot the arrow. I was showing off, with your bow.

  Malcolm : Robin. One day, you will be Lord of Locksley. Lord of my lands. You must grow up and learn to take responsibility when you do something wrong. You could be the best shot in England. You shouldn't stand by and let something terrible happen because you were too scared to do the right thing. Do you understand?

  Young Robin : Yes.

• Robin Hood : My father would NEVER had left me alone!

  [Malcolm takes of hood] 

  Robin Hood : No. No...

  Malcolm : I'm sorry, Robin.

  Robin Hood : NO. I mourned for you!

  Malcolm : How could I be your father after what I had done? After all I taught you about honor? Robin. I couldn't bear to see the shame in your eyes.

  Guy of Gisborne : You killed her. All these years, I thought it was my fault. That my parents died because of the fire I started, but it was you. That guilt was with me every day. EVERY DAY!

  [Grabs Malcolm] 

  Robin Hood : Get off him!

  Guy of Gisborne : Can't you see he deserves this? He betrayed us both!

  Malcolm : You're right. Death would be a release. There has been many times that I have been temped to do the job myself.

  Robin Hood : And you expect us to feel sorry for you?

  Malcolm : Of course not.

  Guy of Gisborne : So why now? Why tell us after all this time?

  Malcolm : Because of your brother. I need you to forgive each other. So that you can unite and save him.

  Guy of Gisborne : Oh, this again.

  Malcolm : Everything I have told you is the truth. And I have told you so you don't destroy each other like your fathers. Son...

  Robin Hood : No. No, you lost the right to call me "son" when you left me alone in the world.

  Malcolm : Maybe. But didn't it make you the man you are today?

• Malcolm : Both of your lives could have been so different, were it not for the mistakes your parents made.

  Robin Hood : We can't change that. I can never forgive Guy.

  Malcolm : Why not?

  Robin Hood : Because he showed no remorse for what he did to Marian.

  Guy of Gisborne : You know nothing.

  Robin Hood : You worked and killed for the Sheriff for years.

  Guy of Gisborne : You'd still be living under his power were it not for me.

  Robin Hood : What do you mean, "for you?"

  [Guy is silent] 

  Robin Hood : ... you killed the Sheriff!

  Guy of Gisborne : And I intend to kill the new one, too.

• Malcolm : Save him. And save yourselves.

• Guy of Gisborne : Awwww, how touching. Look, I really don't see the point of any of this.

  Malcolm : You need to know the truth to save a life.
