[Merry and Pippin are riding Treebeard.]

Treebeard: "The Ents have not troubled about the wars of men and wizards for a very long time."

Treebeard: "But now something is about to happen that has not happened for an age: Entmoot."

Merry: "What's that?"

Treebeard: "It is a gathering."

Merry: "A gathering of what?"

[Ents come from the forest and surround them.]

Treebeard: "Beech, Oak, Chestnut, Ash. Good, good, good many have come."

Treebeard: "Now we must decide if the Ents will go to war."

[Merry grins.]
