[Merry and Pippin are riding Treebeard.]

Treebeard: "I will leave you at the western borders of the forest. You can make your way north to your homeland from there."

Pippin: "Wait! Stop! Stop! Turn around. Turn around. Take us south!"

Treebeard: "South? But that will lead you past — Isengard."

Pippin: "Yes. Exactly. If we go south we can slip past Saruman unnoticed. The closer we are to danger, the farther we are from harm. It's the last thing he'll expect."

Treebeard: "Hmm. That doesn't make sense to me. But then, you are very small. Perhaps your right. South it is then."

[Treebeard turns around.]

Treebeard: "Hold on, little Shirelings. I always like going south. Somehow it feels like going down hill."

Merry: "Are you mad, we'll be caught."

Pippin: "No we won't. Not this time."
