The King Is Dead, Long Live the King... (2009)

Richard Armitage: Guy of Gisborne

Quotes 

• Isabella : How did you sleep?

  Guy of Gisborne : With one eye open.

• Prince John : You impersonate the King?

  Robin Hood : Just like you. PRINCE John.

  Prince John : Arrest him!

  Robin Hood : You can do what you want! These people, they know the truth.

  Archbishop Walter : And so do I. I will never make you King.

  Prince John : Where's my crown?

  Guy of Gisborne : Is this what you're looking for? How about a state funeral?

  [aims crossbow at Prince John] 

  Robin Hood : Gisbrone! Don't do it. I know he deserves it, but with no leader at home, England could be ripped apart, torn up by war.

  Guy of Gisborne : What has England ever done for me?

  Isabella : Brother...

  Guy of Gisborne : Don't think I won't shoot you as well after everything you've done.

  Isabella : I know. But you'll have to decide which one of us you want dead the most - Prince John or me. Because as much as I hate Robin Hood, he loves his country. And he won't give you a second shot.

• Isabella : I mean, what does Sheridan know about Nottingham, anyway? Stupid old fool!

  Guy of Gisborne : Hello, Sister.

  Isabella : Guy, please, please just wait.

  Guy of Gisborne : What, for you to betray me again?

  Isabella : You got what you deserved.

  Guy of Gisborne : And you will get what you deserve.

  Isabella : So kill me. You did as much to me when I was a child, anyway.

  Guy of Gisborne : Is that to be your dying thought?

  Isabella : Yes. Go on. End it now. Put us both out of our misery. Come on! What's wrong with you? Maybe we change things. King Richard is dead. Prince John is due to be crowned.

  Guy of Gisborne : What?

  Isabella : That's right. I can help you.

  Guy of Gisborne : How can you help me?

  Isabella : I can speak for you. But for that, you need me alive. Kill me, and you kill your last chance back with the new King. Let me live, and we both get what we want.

• Guy of Gisborne : So... how I am to get back into the New King's favor?

  Isabella : I have decided to speak to him for you, on one condition. I need you to apologize.

  Guy of Gisborne : Apologize? What for?

  Isabella : You know what for.

  Guy of Gisborne : Isabella, had I not arranged your marriage, we would still be living in some godforsaken corner of France without a penny or acre to our name.

  Isabella : Better that then to have been with him.

  Guy of Gisborne : No, it is not my fault that you failed to make the best of your chance. In fact, it's down to me that we're still in with a chance of anything, so instead of wasting time, I say we work out exactly what it is you're going to say to the Prince.

  Isabella : I was thinking, maybe I should just drug you and hand you in to him myself.

  Guy of Gisborne : ...what?

  Isabella : I was willing to forgive you, brother. But you don't deserve my absolution.

  [Guy gasps and knocks his cup over] 

  Isabella : Oh, no, no, It's not your drink. It's your wound. Straight into your bloodstream.
