Aragorn tells him you shall speak for Sauron no more and gets into a sword fight with him. Aragorn wins by slicing the mouth of Saruon's head.

It's all about Aragorn, isn't it? I love that scene so much, Gandalf's "These we shall take!" upon the hearing of the Mouth of Saruon's terms --and he seizes the cloak and mithril coat-- "
These we shall take, in memory of our friend!" (This is not exact, I'm sure, as I'm working from memory!) I love it how it sounds as though he's accepting the terms and Pippin, I think it is, is thinking along the lines of "What the fork is he doing?" but then of course, he rejects them. It shows how Gandalf has his priorities and he puts his duties to Middle-earth above everything, even the life of a close friend.
