Robin Hood, Series 2 (2007)

[Gisborne has burst into Marian's room]

Marian:
Guy! At least do me the courtesy of knocking.

Gisborne:
Get your possessions, you're leaving.

Marian:
What?

Gisborne:
Now!

Marian:
Why?

Gisborne:
Winchester's made a deal with the Sheriff, you've become part of a negotiation.

Marian:
[Quietly] Pardon?

[Gisborne walks up to the desk where Marian is sitting and slams his hand on the desk]

Gisborne:
Winchester wants you.

[Pause]

Marian:
Well tell him, he can't have me.

Gisborne:
The Sheriff has agreed, [he walks away from her, makes sure the door is closed] I cannot protect you. [He walks back to Marian] Marian, listen to me, you have to run now!

[Marian stands up]

Marian:
I can't, my father!

Gisborne:
[Softly] I will take care of your father.

Marian:
I cannot leave him!

Gisborne:
MARIAN, WHY DO YOU ALWAYS RESIST ME, I'M ATTEMPTING TO HELP YOU?!

Marian:
I know. I can see that and I'm grateful, but...

[Gisborne puts a bag on the desk]

Gisborne:
If the Sheriff knew I was doing this, my own life would be in danger!

Marian:
Why do you work for him?

[Pause]

Gisborne:
I have nobody.

Marian:
Wha- So you choose him?!

Gisborne:
I choose power! He is my route to position...standing!

Marian:
He is mad, you know that!

Gisborne:
No! He is single minded. He does not allow...distractions to pervert him from his course.

[Marian scoffs]

Marian:
Distractions?! Like a little humanity?!

Gisborne:
Humanity is weakness!

[She takes his arm]

Marian:
You don't believe that!

[Pause]

Gisborne:
You must leave this place. This money [He hands her a bag of money] will secure your passage, and I instructed a man on the West Gate to let you out.

[He puts his hand on her cheek]

Gisborne:
[Softly] Marian... [He kisses her on her other cheek] Good luck.

[He walks to the door]

Gisborne:
[Softly] Go! [He opens the door] Now!

[He closes the door and begins to walk away, but the Sheriff is standing by the door]

Sheriff:
Excellent!
