Scene 61 ~ Fangorn Comes to Helms Deep
The Uruk-hai are fleeing from Helms Deep,
Theoden, Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas ride after them. They run to where a
forest of trees has suddenly appeared. Eomer suddenly rides out in front of the
men
|
| EOMER: |
Stay out of the forest! Keep away from the trees!
|
They stand and watch as
the Uruk-hai flee into the trees. The trees begin to move and
screams are heard from the Uruk-hai as the trees apparantly kill them
Back in Helms Deep, Aragorn walks up to Eowyn who is very pleased to see
him, holds his face and hugs him

Scene 62 ~ The Final Tally
|
|
|
In Helms Deep men are
piling up the dead Uruk-hai. Gimli sits on a Uruk-hai smoking his
pipe. Legolas walks up to him
|
| LEGOLAS: |
(stroking his bow) Final count.....42.
|
| GIMLI: |
Forty-two? That's not bad for a pointy-eared Elvish princeling. I myself am sitting pretty on 43.
|
Legolas swiftly draws an
arrow and shoots it between Gimli's legs at the Uruk-hai he is sitting on
|
| LEGOLAS: |
(smirks) Forty-three.
|
| GIMLI: |
He was already dead.
|
| LEGOLAS: |
He was twitching.
|
| GIMLI: |
He was twitching......because he's got my axe (he
grabs his axe which is embedded in the Uruks head and moves it so that the
dead Uruk moves too) embedded in his nervous system!

Scene 63 ~ Flotsam and Jetsam
|
|
|
Merry and Pippin are standing in the water looking
up at Isengard. Saruman is with Grima looking out on the devastation
below
|
| MERRY: |
He doesn't look too happy, does he?
|
| PIPPIN: |
Not too happy at all, Merry.
|
| MERRY: |
Still, I suppose the view would be quite nice from up there.
|
| PIPPIN: |
Oh, yes. It's a quality establishment. I hear the staff are very good.
|
From behind Pippin, Merry
holds up his hand measuring his height against Pippin's. Pippin
turns around quickly
|
| PIPPIN: |
What are you doing?
|
| MERRY: |
Nothing. The world's back to normal, that's all.
|
| PIPPIN: |
No, it isn't. I'm starving.
|
| MERRY: |
Good luck trying to find something decent around here. (he
picks up an empty broken basket and throws it away) Probably only dead rats and
mouldy bread.
|
Pippin notices a red
apple float past him. He grabs it, looks up at the sky confused and
grins. He looks to his side and notices several apples floating
past. He starts to follow their trail. Merry quickly follows
him. Pippin picks up a roast chicken, whilst Merry finds a flagon of
wine. Pippin throws the chicken in a basket of apples, and they
reach the food store. They laugh and stand in awe at the stores
there.
|
| MERRY: |
Saruman's storeroom!
|
There attention drifts to
two barrels of South Farthing pipeweed
|
| PIPPIN: |
I don't believe it.
|
| MERRY: |
It can't be.
|
They quickly open one of
the barrels.
|
| PIPPIN: |
lt is!
|
| MERRY: |
Longbottom Leaf. (he takes a deep sniff of the
leaves) The finest pipe-weed in South Farthing.
|
| PIPPIN: |
(shoving a barrel at Merry and very excited)
It's perfect. One barrel each. (he pauses) Wait.
Do you think we should share it with Treebeard?
|
| MERRY: |
(shocked) Share it? (thinks
then shakes his head) No. No. (he picks up a
leaf ) Dead plant and all that. Don't think he'd understand. (he
walks up close to Merry who is looking confused) Could be a distant relative.
|
| PIPPIN: |
(tapping his nose) I get it. Don't be hasty.
(he grins)
|
| MERRY: |
(draws out his pipe and sucks on it) Exactly.
(he imitates Treebeard) Bar-hrum. (they
both laugh madly)
|
Treebeard walks up to
find where the laughing is coming from. He sniffs the air, and bends
down to look into the larder

Scene 64 ~ Farewell to Faramir
|
|
|
Faramir leads Frodo, Sam and Gollum through the maze
and ruins of Osgiliath. He stops at a tunnel
|
| FARAMIR: |
This is the old sewer. Runs right under the river through to the edge of the city.
You'll find cover in the woods there.
|
| SAM: |
Captain Faramir......you have shown your quality, sir.
|
Faramir takes a step back
|
| SAM: |
The very highest.
|
| FARAMIR: |
(grinning) The Shire must truly be a great realm,
Master Gamgee......where gardeners are held in high honor.
|
Sam looks sheepish
|
| FARAMIR: |
What road will you take once you reach the woods?
|
| FRODO: |
Gollum says there's a path......near Minas Morgul that climbs up into the mountains.
|
| FARAMIR: |
Cirith Ungol?
|
Gollum tries to creep
away, but Faramir grabs him by the back of the neck and throws him against
a wall. He looks at him sternly and holds him by the throat
|
| FARAMIR: |
ls that its name?
|
| GOLLUM: |
No. (he shakes his head) No! (Faramir
tightens his grip) Yes.
|
| FARAMIR: |
(turns to Frodo, but doesnt loosen his grip on
Gollum) Frodo......they say a dark terror dwells in the passes above Minas
Morgul. You cannot go that way.
|
| GOLLUM: |
lt is the only way. Master says we must go to Mordor, so we must try.
|
Faramir looks to Frodo
|
| FRODO: |
I must.
|
Faramir throws Gollum to
the ground
|
| FARAMIR: |
(nodding) Go, Frodo. Go with the goodwill of all Men.
|
| FRODO: |
Thank you.
|
He turns and walks down
the sewer, Sam follows. Gollum goes to creep after them, taking a
wide path around Faramir. Faramir reaches down and grabs him by the
throat again
|
| FARAMIR: |
May death find you quickly if you bring them to harm.
|
He throws Gollum down the
tunnel after them. Gollum pauses to look back at him and goes into
the sewer, holding up one arm in pain
|
| SAM: |
Come on, keep up.
|
Gollum falls on the
floor. Sam turns back to him
|
| SAM: |
Mr. Frodo didn't mean for them Rangers to hurt you. You know that, don't you?
He was trying to save you, see?
|
| GOLLUM: |
(scathingly) Save me?
|
| SAM: |
So there's no hard feelings. Forgive and forget.
|
| GOLLUM: |
No, no, no hard feelings. Gollum, Gollum. (he
crawls onwards past Sam) Yes, master. Nice Hobbits.
|
| SAM: |
(following) Very decent of you. Very decent, indeed,
Gollum.
