The scene with Pippin in front of Denethor was marred by this point. In the book Gandalf was respectful of Pippin's choice to swear fealty to Gondor.<P>In the movie I had tears in my eyes when Pippin, remembering the death of Boromir, emotionally offered his services to Denethor, only for Gandalf to ruin the moment with a needless quip. Out of character.
