【精彩片断】

剪辑自《The Lord of the Rings-Return of the King》指环王III--王者归来
Gandalf: Hail Denethor, son of Ecthelion, lord and steward¹（干事） of Gondor. I come with tidings（消息） in this dark hour, and with counsel（忠告）.
Steward: Perhaps you come to explain this. Perhaps you come to tell me why my son is dead.
Pippin: Boromir died to save us, my kinsman（同族者） and me. He fell defending us from many foes（敌人）.
Gandalf: Pippin.
Pippin: I offer you my service, such as it is in payment of this debt.
Gandalf: Get up. My lord, there will be a time to grieve（悲痛） for Boromir, but it is not now. War is coming. The enemy is on your doorstep. As steward, you are charged with the defense² of this city. Where are Gondor’s armies? You still have friends. You are not alone in this fight. Send word to Theoden of Rohan. Light the beacons（灯塔）.
Steward: You think you are wise, Mithrandir. Yet for all your subtleties（精明）, you have not wisdom. Do you think the eyes of the White Tower are blind? I have seen more than you know. With your left hand you would use me as a shield（盾牌） against Mordor. And with your right, you’d seek to supplant（代替） me. I know who rises with Theoden of Rohan. Oh, yes. Word has reached my ears of this Aragorn, son of Arathorn. And I tell you now, I will not bow to this Ranger（巡逻骑兵） from the north, last of a ragged³ house long bereft（被剥夺的） of lordship（统治）.
Gandalf: Authority is not given to you to deny the return of the king, steward.
Steward: The rule of Gondor is mine and no other’s.
