[Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn are fighting.]

Théoden: "Aragorn, pull back to the gate!"

Aragorn: "Am Marad!" (To the Keep!)

Aragorn: "Nan barad! Haldir! Nan barad!" (Pull back! Haldir! Pull back!)

[Haldir nods at him and calls for the others.]

[Gimli is dragged away.]

Gimli: "What are you doing? Stop it!"

[Haldir calls for his men, but he does not see an Uruk behind him and is struck.]

[Haldir stumbles in pain, as he looks around. Behind him, another Uruk strikes Haldir at his back.]

Aragorn: "Haldir!"

[Haldir falls on his knees, as Aragorn fights his way up the stairs.]

[Haldir looks around in disbelief, and sees all the dead elves around him.]

[Aragorn rushes to Haldir. The elf dies in Aragorn's arms.]

[Aragorn lays Haldir down, as more Uruk-hai approach him. He jumps on one of the ladders and falls down with them.]

Gamling: "Brace the gate!"

[The gate is almost broken.]

Théoden: "To the gate! Draw your swords!"

[The king, with his men, try to defend the breaking gate.]

Gamling: "We can't hold much longer."

[Aragorn rushes to the gate.]

Théoden: "Hold them!"

Aragorn: "How long do you need?"

Théoden: "As long as you can give me!"

Aragorn: "Gimli!"

[Aragorn and Gimli sneak around to the other side of the gate. Aragorn takes a peek at the many Uruks.]

Gimli: "Come on. We can take 'em!"

Aragorn: "It's a long way."

[Gimli glances over Aragorn.]

Gimli: "Toss me."

Aragorn: "What?"

Gimli: "I cannot jump the distance so you have to toss me."

[Aragorn nods and is about to throw Gimli, but the dwarf stops him.]

Gimli: "Eh… Don't tell the elf."

Aragorn: "Not a word."

[Aragorn throws Gimli, and jups after him. The two battle the troops at the gate.]

Théoden: "Shore up the door!"

[Saruman's army puts up more ladders.]

[Legolas shoots the chain for one of the ladders. It falls, crushing some of the Uruks below.]

[The men try to seal the gates, as Aragorn and Gimli continue fighting on the other side.]

Théoden: "Gimli! Aragorn! Get out of there!"

[Legolas is standing up on the wall.]

Legolas: "Aragorn!"

[Legolas throws down a rope. Aragorn, holding Gimli with him, jumps on to it. Legolas pulls them both up.]

[More ladders rise.]

Théoden: "Pull everybody back. Pull them back!"

Gamling: "Fall back! Fall back!"

Théoden: "They have broken through. The castle is breached! Retreat!"

Gamling: "Fall back! Retreat! Retreat!"
