8 scenesLegolas! What do your Elf-eyes see?
Legolas The Uruks turn northeast... They are taking the Hobbits to Isengard!
...Saruman.
Geographically, Legolas should have said northwest.
Legolas Come, Gimli!
[Panting heavily]
I'm wasted on cross-country! We dwarves are natural sprinters! Very dangerous over short distances!
What business does an Elf, a Man, and a Dwarf have in the Riddermark? Speak quickly!
Give me your name, horsemaster, and I shall give you mine.
I would cut off your head, dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground.
Legolas [taking out bow]
You would die before your stroke fell! [The riders raise their spears, until Aragorn pushes Legolas' bow aside]
I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn. This is Gimli, son of Gloin, and Legolas, of the woodland realm. We are friends of Rohan, and of Theoden, your king.
Theoden no longer recognises friend from foe. Not even his own kin. [Removes his helmet]. Saruman has poisoned the mind of the king and claimed lordship over these lands. My company and I are those loyal to Rohan, and for that, we are banished. The White wizard is cunning, they say. He walks here and there, like an old man, hooded and cloaked. And everywhere his spies slip passed our nets.
We are no spies. We track a party of Uruk-hai westwards across the plain. The've taken two of our friends captive.
The Uruks are destroyed. We slaughtered them during the night.
But there were two hobbits. Did you see two hobbits with them?
They would be small, only children to your eyes.
We left none alive. We piled the carcasses and burned them. [gestures to the smoke coming over the hill]
They're dead?
[nods]
I am sorry. [Éomer pauses, then whistles] Hasufel! Arod! [two horses trot over] May these horses bear you to better fortune than their former masters. [Mounts his horse and dons his helmet] Look for your friends. But do not trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands. [To his riders] We ride north!
Well, lad, whatever luck you live by, let's hope it lasts the night.
Legolas Your friends are with you, Aragorn.
Let's hope they last the night.
What's happening out there?
Legolas Shall I describe it to you, or would you like me to find you a box? [Gimli laughs.]
Legolas! Two already!
Legolas I'm on seventeen!
Hah! I'll have no pointy-ears outscoring me!
Legolas [he kills another Uruk]
Nineteen!
Legolas Final count... forty-two.
Forty-two. That's not bad for a pointy-eared Elvish princeling. I myself am sitting pretty on forty-three.
Legolas [Legolas frowns, and almost in a blink of the eye shoots the orc Gimli is sitting on]
Forty-three.
He was already dead!
Legolas He was twitching.
He was twitching...?! 'Cause he's got my axe embedded in his nervous system! [to exemplify this, he tilts his axe, and the dead orc twitches again]
Farmers, farriers, stable boys. These are no soldiers.
Most have seen too many winters.
Legolas Or too few. Look at them, they're frightened. You can see it in their eyes. [in Elvish] And they should b. Three hundred... against ten thousand?
Legolas [in Elvish]
Aragorn, they cannot win this fight. They're all going to die!
