[Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli are tracking Merry and Pippin through Fangorn Forest]

Aragorn:
These are strange tracks.

Gimli:
The air is so close in here!

Legolas:
This forest is old. Very old... full of memory... and anger.

[the trees groan, Gimli holds up his axe]

Legolas:
The trees are speaking to each other.

Aragorn:
[whispers loudly] Gimli! Lower your axe.

Legolas:
They have feelings, my friend. [Gimli lowers his axe] The Elves began it. Waking up the trees, teaching them to speak.

Gimli:
Talking trees? What do trees have to talk about, hm? Except the consistency of squirrel droppings.

Legolas:
[in Elvish] Aragorn, something's out there.

Aragorn:
[in Elvish] What do you see?

Legolas:
[in common tongue] The White Wizard approaches.

Aragorn:
Do not let him speak. He will put a spell on us. [Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli ready their weapons] We must be quick.

[They turn to confront the White Wizard, who appears before them enveloped in a blinding light. Gimli hurls his axe, and Legolas shoots an arrow, which the White Wizard deflects with his staff. Aragorn holds up his sword, which burns hot in his hand, forcing him to drop it]

White Wizard:
You are tracking the footsteps of two young Hobbits.

Aragorn:
Where are they?

White Wizard:
They passed this way, the day before yesterday. They met someone they did not expect. Does that comfort you?

Aragorn:
Who are you? Show yourself! [the White Wizard reveals himself to be Gandalf] It cannot be!

Legolas:
Forgive me. I mistook you for Saruman.

Gandalf:
I am Saruman. Or rather, Saruman as he should have been.

Aragorn:
You fell.

Gandalf:
Through fire and water. From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak, I fought with the Balrog of Morgoth. Until at last, I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin upon the mountainside. Darkness took me. And I strayed out of thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead and everyday was as long as a life-age of the earth. But it was not the end. I felt life in me again. I've been sent back until my task is done.

Aragorn:
Gandalf...

Gandalf:
Gandalf? Yes... that's what they used to call me. Gandalf the Grey. That was my name.

Gimli:
[surprised] Gandalf!

Gandalf:
I am Gandalf the White. And I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide. One stage of your journey is over, another begins. War has come to Rohan. We must ride to Edoras with all speed.
