Robin Hood (TV Series)

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

David Harewood: Tuck

Quotes 

• Much : It's Sheridan.

  Kate : Who?

  Tuck : The keeper of the crown.

  Robin Hood : Used to be the King's favorite trainer of knights... he trained me.

• Tuck : If God had wanted you to have the crown, he's have given it to you.

• Robin Hood : If you were Sheridan, where would you hide the crown?

  Tuck : Well, you know him better then I do.

  Robin Hood : Well, apparently not.

  Tuck : Come on, Robin, trust yourself.

  Robin Hood : What did he say? "Surrounded by outlaws, where outlaws fear to tread."

  [Looks at Tuck, they both have the same thought] 

  Robin Hood : The Dungeons.

• Little John : The stable boy says the horses are all accounted for.

  Tuck : Robin couldn't have made it.

  Kate : You should have kept moving, Much.

  Much : He had a knife in your side!

  Allan A Dale : She can take care of herself.

  Much : Oh, right. So that's why you stepped in, in the tavern, right.

  Allan A Dale : I stepped in 'cause I was worried about her.

  Much : You stepped in because you were showing off.

  Allan A Dale : What?

  Much : I did what I did because I care.

  Allan A Dale : *I* care!

  Much : You care about yourself.

  Allan A Dale : Is that right?

  Much : Yes!

  Little John : STOP IT!

  Tuck : Come on! Robin could be dead and you're squabbling like a couple of school boys!

  [Both stop, ashamed] 

  Tuck : Put them out of their misery, will you?

  [to Kate] 

  Kate : He's right. You know, I'm sick of you two trying to protect me. We've got to keep our minds on the mission.

  Much : Right.

  Tuck : If Robin didn't make it, then Sheridan has the crown. If Sheridan has the crown, Prince John can carry on with his coronation. We can't let that happen.

  Kate : ...what about Robin?

• Much : Well?

  Tuck : We got the crown.

  Little John : Hey-hey!

  Tuck : ...but they followed us. With dogs.

  Robin Hood : I have to get a horse from Nettlestone and get this crown to London.

  Little John : London?

  Robin Hood : The King may still have supporters there. I'll be back.

  Tuck : We'll take care of the guards.

  Kate : Good luck!

• Kate : We're too late!

  Much : We can still tell the archbishop! Tell him the truth!

  Robin Hood : He already thinks he's seen the body. It'll be our word against theirs!

  Tuck : We can't let the Prince take power like this! We have to stop him. Assassinate him if we have to.

  Robin Hood : If we assassinate him, Tuck, we risk invasion - civil war, even!

  Tuck : This is treason!

  Robin Hood : I know! And I hate him as much as you do, but while Richard's away, Prince John is our only leader.

  Tuck : That's all very well while he's Prince, but when he's King he can make new laws, say what he wants, do what he wants, spend what he wants!

  Robin Hood : Well then we stop him becoming King, don't we?

  Much : How?

  Robin Hood : Well, for a coronation to take place, you need a crown, am I right? Well then, we steal his crown.

• Tuck : These are the abbey doors. We need to go in here, here, and here and storm the alter. First one to the crown makes it out, the rest of us deal with the consequences. He might have the crown, but he's not King until that crown makes it onto his head.

  Much : [exhales]  Good. But doesn't "storm" imply that there's more then five of us?

  Robin Hood : How about six?

  Kate : Robin!

  Little John : Please tell us you've got a better plan then this one.

  Robin Hood : I have, actually. We're going to need shields, just like those ones the Prince wanted for his guards. It's going to be blinding, Allan.

• Tuck : If this is God's will, then I have to question his judgment
