hmm... Longbottom Leaf. yipee!
hea, what happened to our LOTR role play?
uh-oh... sora... what have you started?!?!?!
Merry: It’s good. Definitely from the Shire. Longbottom Leaf.
(Merry and Pippin both agree.)
Pippin: I feel like I'm back at the Green Dragon.
Merry: Green Dragon.
Pippin: A mug of ale in my hand. Putting my feet up on a settle after a hard day’s work.
Merry: Only, you've never done a hard day's work.
(Both laugh. A small crew of Helm's Deep survivors arrive. Pippin chortles like a loon.)
Merry: Welcome, my lord, to Isengard! (points to Orthanc)
Gimli: You young rascals! A merry hunt you've led us on, and now we find you, feasting and… smoking!
Pippin: We are sitting on a field of victory, enjoying a few well-earned comforts. The salted pork is particularly good.
Gimli: Salted pork?
Gandalf: (shakes head in disgust) Hobbits.
Merry: We're under orders, from Treebeard, who's taken over management of Isengard.
(The scene shifts to the group riding near Orthanc, while Treebeard greets them.)
Treebeard: Young Master Gandalf. I'm glad you've come. Wood and water, stock and stone I can master. But there is a Wizard to manage here, locked in his tower.
Aragorn: (whispering) Show yourself.
Gandalf: Be careful. Even in defeat, Saruman is dangerous.
Gimli: Well, let's just have his head and be done with it.
Gandalf: No. We need him alive. We need him to talk.
Saruman: (v.o.) You have fought many wars and slain many men, Théoden King, (shows himself on the top of the tower) and made peace afterwards. Can we not take counsel together as we once did, my old friend? Can we not have peace, you and I?
Théoden: We shall have peace. We shall have peace when you answer for the burning of the Westfold and the children that lie dead there! We shall have peace when the lives of the soldiers whose bodies were hewn even as they lay dead against the gates of the Hornburg, are avenged! When you hang from a gibbet for the sport of your own crows, we shall have peace.
Saruman: Gibbets and crows? Dotard! What do you want, Gandalf Greyhame? Let me guess. The key of Orthanc. Or perhaps the Keys of Barad-dur itself along with the crowns of the seven kings and the rods of the Five Wizards!
Gandalf: Your treachery has already cost many lives. Thousands more are at risk. But you can save them, Saruman. You were deep in the enemy’s counsel.
Saruman: So you have come here for information. I have some for you.
(Saruman lifts up his PalantÃr and gazes into it.)
