[TITLE: THE LORD OF THE RINGS]



[Camera pans over the Misty Mountains
as voices drift in from the background.]


GANDALF
You cannot pass!

FRODO
Gandalf!

GANDALF
I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder
of the Flame of Anor!

[Camera pans closer to the mountain
side.]

GANDALF
Argh! Go back to the shadow. The Dark
Fire will not avail you, Flame of Udûn!
[Camera zooms in through the mountain
and focuses on Gandalf and the Balrog
on the bridge of Khazad-dûm. The Balrog
strikes down on Gandalf with its flaming
sword. Gandalf parries the blow with
Glamdring, shattering the Balrog’s sword.]
YOU… SHALL NOT... PASS!!!

[Gandalf strikes his staff onto the
bridge. As the Balrog steps forward,
the bridge collapses from under it and
the demon plunges backward into the
chasm. Gandalf, exhausted, leans on
his staff and watches the Balrog fall
then turns to follow the others. At
the last minute, the flaming whip lashes
up from the depths of the abyss and
winds around Gandalf’s ankle, dragging
him over the edge. He clings onto the
bridge but is straining to keep his
grip.]

GANDALF
Argh!

[Frodo rushes forward but Boromir restrains
him.]

BOROMIR
No! No!

FRODO
Gandalf!

GANDALF
Fly, you fools!

[Gandalf loses his grip and falls into
the chasm]

FRODO
Noooooooooooooooo!!!!

[Gandalf loses his grip and falls into
the chasm]

FRODO
[Calls after Gandalf as he falls into
the abyss] Gaaandaaaaalf!!

[Gandalf falls after the Balrog and
grabs hold of his sword Glamdring on
his way down. As they continue to plunge
into the depths, Gandalf hacks away
at the Balrog even as it thrashes and
bounces off the walls. They continue
to plunge at great speed, sometimes
with Gandalf clinging to the horn of
the demon. The battling pair then falls
into an enormous cavern and plunges
into the water. Just then Frodo awakens
as if from a nightmare.]
