指环王2：双塔奇兵The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Movie Script

ÉOMER To the king!

[The Rohirrim and the White Rider charge down the slope. Half the Uruk-hai army turns to face the challenge, bearing their spears down towards the riders.

As the riders draw closer, the sun rises behind them, momentarily blinding the Uruk-hai who raise the hands (and spears) to shield their eyes. The riders crash right into the Uruk-hai and engage them in battle.] [The Ents are stomping over Isengard, swinging their huge limbs, throwing and stamping on Orcs and rolling huge boulders over the ground. An Ent is pulled down with chains by some Orcs, who immediately jump on and hacks away at his wooden limbs. Saruman rushes out onto the balcony of Orthanc and stares at the pandemonium in incredulity.

Merry and Pippin also throws stones at Orcs, their aims true.]

PIPPIN:

Yes!

TREEBEARD:

A hit. A fine hit!

[Two Ents rock a wooden structure and push it over into the caverns below, smashing against the rock. Some Orcs fire flamed-tipped arrows at an Ent, setting him on fire. Saruman continues to look about from his balcony, helpless.

Some Ents are now breaking away at a dam.]

TREEBEARD:

Break the dam! Release the river!

[The dam is broken and Saruman looks up to see the river rushing down the slope towards Isengard, washing away Orcs and wooden structures in its path.

]

MERRY:

Pippin, hold on! [The hobbits tighten their hold on top of Treebeard]

TREEBEARD:

Hold on, little hobbits!

[Treebeard braces himself against the flood. As the water rushes over Isengard, an Ent rushes in and thrusts his burning body into the water. The water rushes into the caverns, washing away the bridges, mechanisms and structures within.] [Frodo walks slowly away from the safe corner. Gondorian Rangers are still running about, defending their stations.]

SAM:

What are you doing? Where are you going?!

[SLOW MOTION Frodo walks up some stairs and stands on a bridge. A Nazgûl on a Fell beast emerges in front of him. Frodo stares at the Nazgûl, fixated. Feeling the call of the Ring, he holds it up. Faramir watches the unfolding tableau from below.

As Frodo moves to put the Ring on his finger and the Nazgûl flies closer and closer, Sam runs up and knocks Frodo over. Faramir releases an arrow and shoots the Fell Beast. Frodo and Sam roll down the stairs. As they come to a stop at the bottom, Frodo holds Sam in a death grip, yells and points Sting at his throat, his eyes livid with madness and anger that someone would try to take the Ring away.]

FRODO:

Aaarrgghh!!!

SAM:

[With tears running down his face] It’s me. It’s your Sam. Don’t you know your Sam?

[The madness fades and recognition returns to Frodo’s eyes. He realises what he nearly did and is overcome. Stumbling backwards, he collapses against a wall and Sting falls to the ground with a clang. Sam gets up slowly.]

FRODO:

[Slowly and with despair] I can’t do this, Sam.

SAM:

[Getting up slowly] I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. [He stands and leans against a wall, looking out into the distance.] It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered.

Full of darkness and danger they were.

And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? [Images of the riders winning the battle against the Uruk-hai at Helm’s Deep] How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened?

THÉODEN Victory! We have victory! [He raises his sword with a victorious cry]
