They were here, but where they went, I can’t tell.
Aragorn
I don’t understand these other marks.
[Enter Gandalf, disguised] ]
Look! Your bow, Legolas! It’s Saruman! Shoot, before he puts a spell on us! Quick!
Gandalf, disguised
Elf, Man, and Dwarf together! A rare sight in these times!
Now! Stop him, Legolas!
Aragorn
Gandalf! Beyond all hope! Gandalf!
Gandalf
Yes. Yes, that was my name!
Aragorn
What happened?
Gandalf
Long time I fell. Long I fell, and he fell with me. His fire was about me. I was burned! Ever he clutched me, and ever I hewed him, far under the living Earth… until at last he fled back, up the secret ways of Moria. There, we fought, above the mists of the earth, and the peak of the mountain was wreathed with lightning. I wandered far, on roads I will not tell. Naked I was sent back, until my task is done.
