[The hobbits run in to the forest. They collapse onto the ground, panting.]

Pippin: "Did we lose him? I think we lost him."

[Grishnák bursts through the branches.]

Grishnák: "I'm gonna rip off your filthy little heads! Come here!"

Merry: "Trees! Climb a tree!"

[The hobbits climb. Merry looks around and then sighs in relief.]

Merry: "He's gone."

[Merry is pulled by his legs and falls to the ground. Grishnák leans over him. Merry tries to kick him off.]

Pippin: "Merry!"

[Pippin looks down and as he turns his head, he sees a pair of gleaming yellow eyes blinking in the tree.]

[The tree then starts to move.]

Pippin: "Argh!"

[Pippin loses his grip and falls. The tree catches him before he hits the ground.]

Grishnák: "Let's put a maggot hole in your belly."

[The tree stomps and squashes the orc.]

Pippin: "Run Merry!"

[Merry tries to run away but is scooped by the tree.]

Tree: "Little orcs! Búrarum."

[The tree starts to walk.]

Pippin: "It's talking Merry. The tree is talking."

Tree: "Tree! I am no tree! I am an Ent."

Merry: "Treeherder! A shepherd of the forest."

Pippin: "Don't talk to it Merry. Don't encourage it."

Tree: "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."

Treebeard: "Nobody cares for the woods anymore."

Merry: "We are not orcs. We are Hobbits!"

Treebeard: "Hobbits? Never heard of a Hobbit before. Sounds like orc mischief to me."

[He strengthens his hold on the hobbits.]

Treebeard: "They come with fire, they come with axes. Biting, breaking, hacking, burning. Destroyers and usurpers. Curse them!"

Merry: "No! You don't understand. We are Hobbits, halflings. Shirefolk!"

Treebeard: "Maybe you are, and maybe you aren't. The White Wizard will know."

Pippin: "White Wizard?"

Merry: "Saruman!"

[Treebeard drops them on the ground and the Hobbits look up at a White Wizard.]
