FOTR - Chanting Wizards
 

Hi, wondering if anyone can quote the exact words spoken by Gandalf and Saruman when they are chanting at each each other from Caradhras/Orthanc in Fellowship of the Ring? A friend and I are contemplating some interesting street theatre and would appreciate your help!<P>Thanks<P>Alex

oh dear sounds scary

If you have the DVD, I think you can just see what they say with the captions on. If not, I have no idea (although you could probably find a script online somewhere).

Hey I got this scene for you, good luck!<P>Scene 3 of Book II: Braving Caradhras<BR> <BR> (The Fellowship is making it's way up the mountain when Frodo slips and falls. When he gets up, he realizes that he is no longer wearing the Ring. We see Boromir picking it up on it's chain)<BR> <BR>Aragorn: Boromir!<BR> <BR>Boromir: It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing...<BR> <BR>Aragorn: Boromir! Give the Ring to Frodo!<BR> <BR>Boromir: As you wish, I care not...<P>(At Orthanc, we see the crows flying into the underground caverns and 'reporting' to Saruman)<BR> <BR>Saruman: So, Gandalf, you try to lead them over Caradhras. And if that fails, where then will you go? If the mountain defeats you, will you risk the more dangerous road?<P>(We hear his spells faintly through the howling wind)<BR> <BR>Legolas: There is a foul voice on the air...<BR> <BR>Gandalf: It's Saruman!<BR> <BR>Aragorn: He's trying to bring down the mountain.<BR>Gandalf, we must turn back<BR> <BR>Gandalf: No! (Gandalf tries a counter-spell, to quiet the mountain)<P>Losto Caradharas, sedho, hodo, nuitho I 'ruith!<BR>( Sleep Caradhras, be still, lie still, hold your wrath)<BR> <BR>Saruman: Cuiva nwalca Carnirassë!<BR>(Wake up cruel Redhorn!)<P>Nai yarvaxëa rasselya taltuva ñotto-carinnar!<BR>(May your blood-stained horn fall upon the enemy-heads)<P>(There is lightning, which causes an even larger avalanche to fall on the company, completely burying them. They dig themselves out)<BR> <BR>Boromir: We must get off the mountain, make for the Gap of Rohan, or take the West Road to my city...<BR> <BR>Aragorn: The Gap of Rohan takes us too close to Isengard!<BR> <BR>Gimli: If we cannot pass over the mountain, let us go under it.<BR>Let us go through the Mines of Moria.<BR> <BR>Saruman: Moria. You fear to go into those mines.<BR>The dwarves delved too greedily and too deep.<BR>You know what they awoke in the darkness<BR>of Khazad-Dûm. Shadow and Flame!<BR> <BR>Gandalf: Let the ringbearer decide. Frodo?<BR> <BR>Frodo: We will go through the mines...<BR> <BR>Gandalf: So be it...<p>[ December 23, 2002: Message edited by: Dorathain_Flamesword ]

Thanks so much!!!

oooooh! *shiver* That's so cool! As much as I love the whole chanting thing, especially the shot of Saruman on top of Orthanc, I have to say that giving Saruman that much power is just ridiculous. How is he so impotent (teehee!) against the Ents, when he can control the weather hundreds of miles away?? I can't see what was wrong with Tolkien's snow monster thing. As for Gandalf being afraid of Moria! I won't even go into that here...
