(ROHAN: Pippin examines the fallen palantír from Saruman. When he looks at it, Sauron looks back)

PIPPIN
Look!
A red eye in the palantír!
“A burning tree, Gondor on fire, loses the war to a scary smart Dark Lord.”
I just spied on Sauron’s plans

GANDALF
Sometimes plots throw you a bone

PIPPIN
I don’t really understand any of this

MERRY
That much we already know

PIPPIN
Gondor’s down

PIPPIN & MERRY
Gondor’s down

PIPPIN
I’ll have to ride there on a horse

MERRY
On a horse?

PIPPIN & MERRY
With a wizard

GANDALF
Took?
Why don’t you ever listen to instructions?

PIPPIN
I’m high on Longbottom leaf is my deductions

GANDALF
No one knows the plans that you saw

MERRY
They think you have the ring
He’ll try to pull you in his claw

PIPPIN
Excuse me?

GANDALF
Oh, Sauron thinks you’ve got it
He doesn’t know it’s Frodo, just a hobbit
To Gondor-

PIPPIN
Wait —

GANDALF
This is what happens when you take a look
Palantírs are dangerous, you stupid fool of a Took!

PIPPIN
Merry, you’ll come with us on this trip?

MERRY
I don’t know what’s going to happen, Pip.

GANDALF
We have to warn Lord Denethor, we’ve no time to waste

PIPPIN
I didn’t realize this would get so fast paced…

GANDALF
Come, sit in front of me, I’ll hold onto your waist
We cannot stop, lest this become a Nazgul chase
Shadowfax! Show us the meaning of haste
