Book III, Chapter 6: And Galdalf Sings
Aragorn: "Yup."
* * *
(Later, the
DOORMAN (Háma) wants to take their WEAPONS;
Aragorn doesn't want to give up his SWORD and
Gandalf wants to keep his STAFF. Finally, Aragorn
gives in and Háma takes the OPPORTUNITY to share
a PROVERB. Gandalf gets to keep his STAFF.
Théoden doesn't look too HOT [don't ask].)
Gandalf: "I'm back!"
Théoden: "Do I look happy to see
you?"
(Wormtongue says that Théoden’s son is DEAD
and that Éomer can't be TRUSTED. He and Gandalf
take the OPPORTUNITY to swap PROVERBS and Gandalf
SINGS.)
Gandalf: "You gonna listen to me
now?"
Théoden: "Sure."
(Éowyn arrives, SAYS and DOES nothing and is
QUICKLY sent away again by Gandalf. Éomer is
RELEASED from prison, Théoden is FILLED IN in on
recent EVENTS and LEARNS that Wormtongue is a
TRAITOR. Éowyn is SMITTEN with Aragorn and
Théoden can't THINK of anyone to RULE Rohan for a
bit until Háma remembers and suggests Éowyn.
Everyone else RIDES out towards Isengard.)
