Steven Waddington: King Richard

Quotes 

• Nasir : [In King Richard's tent]  Where is your king?

  King Richard : [Takes off his helmet, revealing himself]  I rule from the front line, that is why your prince will never defeat me. I admire Aristotle

  Nasir : I prefer Plato

  King Richard : You know the password. Speak

  Nasir : My prince has considered your calls for peace

  King Richard : Oh?

  Nasir : He promises nothing, but he is prepared to talk. My prince agrees to meet you man to man alone in the desert

  King Richard : Where?

  Nasir : Outside Imuiz, the town ruined by your crusaders

  King Richard : When?

  Nasir : Today, noon

  Carter : Your Majesty, is this wise?

  Nasir : My prince knew it, you do not want peace

  King Richard : Wait. I'll be there

  Nasir : My prince offers you a gift as a sign of his goodwill

  King Richard : What gift?

  Nasir : The gift of life

  King Richard : [to Carter]  Leave us

  [Carter does so] 

  Nasir : There are men in your country who would want to kill you

  King Richard : Tell him thank you, but I already know about the Black Knights

  Nasir : They know you know

  King Richard : And I will deal with them when I return

  Nasir : That is why they have recruited your most loyal servant to come here

  King Richard : Who?

  Nasir : [Referring to Robin Hood]  He is a man you would trust with your life. He travels with a Saracen woman. He will offer to protect you. And then, when your guard is down he will slit your throat

  [Nasir leaves the tent, then Carter re-enters it] 

  Carter : This meeting. I'll come with you

  King Richard : No

  Carter : Your Majesty, to meet Salah al-Din alone, unprotected...

  King Richard : Sometimes peace requires more bravery than war
