It's talking to us, Merry. The tree is talking!
Tree? I am no tree! I am an Ent.
Merry [fascinated]
A tree-herder. A shepherd of the forest!
Don't talk to it, Merry. Don't encourage it!
And... whose side are you on?
Side? I am on nobody's side, because nobody is on my side, little Orc. No one cares for the woods anymore.
Merry We're not Orcs. We're Hobbits!
"Hobbits"? Never heard of a Hobbit before. [getting angry] Sounds like Orc mischief to me! They come with fire! They come with axes! Gnawing, biting, breaking, hacking, burning!! Destroyers and usurpers, CURSE THEM!!
Merry You don't understand! We're Hobbits! Halflings! Shire-folk!
Maybe you are not... [calming] and maybe you are. The White Wizard will know.
Look, there's smoke to the south!
There's always smoke rising from Isengard these days.
Merry Isengard?
There was a time when Saruman would walk in my woods. But now he has a mind of metal, and wheels. He no longer cares for growing things.
[Merry and Pippin see the Uruk-hai army]
What is it?
Merry It's Saruman's army. The war has started.
Turn around. Turn around and take us south!
South? But that will... lead you past Isengard.
Yes. Exactly. If we go south we can slip past Saurman unnoticed. The closer we are to danger the father away we are from harm is the last thing he'll expect.
Hmm, that doesn't make much sence. But then you are rather small. Perhaps you're right. South it is then. I always liked going south. Somehow feels like going downhill.
Merry [to Pippin]
Are you mad?! We'll be caught.
No, we won't. Not this time.
[Seeing the torn-down forest around Isengard]
Many of these trees were my friends. Creatures I had known from nut and acorn.
They had voices of their own... Saruman... A wizard should know better!
[He gives a loud yell which echoes across the landscape]
There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of men for this treachery!
[More Ents emerge from the woods, following Treebeard]
Look, the trees! They're moving!
Merry Where are they going?
They have business with the Orcs. My business is with Isengard tonight, with rock and stone!
[More Ents emerge from the woods, joining Treebeard]
Come, my friends. The Ents are going to war. It is likely that we go to our doom. The last march of the Ents.
Merry The fires of Isengard will spread. And the woods of Tuckborough and Buckland will burn. And all that was once green and good in this world will be gone. There won't be a Shire, Pippin.
