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

MERRY:

Pippin! [Gestures for them to make their escape.] [The hobbits try to escape from the pandemonium to the forest, dodging bodies and stomping feet. Suddenly Pippin turns onto his face and looks up to a pair of thrashing hooves bearing down on him.]

PIPPIN:

ARGH!!!

[The Three Hunters are still chasing after the Uruk-hai. It is dawn.]

LEGOLAS:

[Pauses and looks up] A red sun rises.

Blood has been spilled this night.

[Camera pans over the rock and plains, alternating between the band of Uruk-hai and the Three Hunters giving chase.

The trackers hear the sound of horses.

Aragorn and company hide behind some boulders. A large group of horse-men appears, galloping quickly with their banners flying. Aragorn comes out of hiding as they pass, followed by Legolas and Gimli.]

ARAGORN:

Riders of Rohan, what news from the Mark?

[At a signal from Éomer at the lead, the riders make a quick turn and head towards them, surrounding them in ever-tightening circles. As they stop, they point their long spears menacingly at them.] ÉOMER What business does an Elf, a man and a Dwarf have in the Riddermark? Speak quickly!

GIMLI:

Give me your name, Horsemaster, and I shall give you mine.

[Éomer hands his staff to another rider, and gets off his horse. Aragorn puts a hand on Gimli’s shoulder.] ÉOMER I would cut off your head, Dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground.

[Legolas, in a lightning fast move, points an arrow at Éomer.]

LEGOLAS:

You would die before your stroke fell!

[The riders all point their spears closer at the travellers. After a tense moment, Aragorn pushes down Legolas’ arm.]

ARAGORN:

I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn. This is Gimli, son of Glóin and Legolas of the Woodland realm. We are friends of Rohan and of Théoden, your king.

ÉOMER Théoden no longer recognizes friend from foe. [Takes off helmet] Not even his own kin.

[The spears are withdrawn.] ÉOMER Saruman has poisoned the mind of the king and claimed lordship over these lands. My company are those loyal to Rohan. And for that, we are banished.

The White Wizard is cunning. He walks here and there, they say, as an old man, hooded and cloaked. And everywhere his spies slip past our nets.

ARAGORN:

We are not spies. We track a party of Uruk-hai westward across the plain.

They’ve taken two of our friends captive.

ÉOMER The Uruks are destroyed. We slaughtered them during the night.

GIMLI:

But there were two hobbits. Did you see two hobbits with them?

ARAGORN:

They would be small – only children to your eyes.

ÉOMER We left none alive. We piled the carcasses and burned them. [Points to a smoking pile in the distance.]
