Pippin
It's talking to us, Merry. The tree is talking!
Treebeard
Tree? I am no tree! I am an Ent.
Pippin
Don't talk to it, Merry. Don't encourage it!
Treebeard
Treebeard, some call me.
Pippin
And... whose side are you on?
Treebeard
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!
Treebeard
"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!
Treebeard
Maybe you are not... [calming] and maybe you are. The White Wizard will know.
