GANDALF: Ah! Its that way
MERRY: He's remembered (he jumps up)
GANDALF: (at the entrance to one doorway) No, but the air doesnt smell so foul down here. If in doubt, Meriadoc, always follow your nose.
They all get up and follow Gandalf out. They come out of the passageway into a great cavern with many columns arising from floor to ceiling
GANDALF: Let me risk a little more light (he holds up his staff and shines its light on the cavern) Behold the great realm and dwarf city of Dwarrowdelf.
A huge cavern is revealed, filled with ornate columns stretching as far as the eye can see
SAM: There's an eye-opener and no mistake
They walk through the center of the magnificient city.
Suddenly Gimli spots a room in front of them and runs towards it
GIMLI: Oh!
GANDALF: Gimli!
Gimli kneels in front of the tomb in the centre of the room
GIMLI: No, no (he bows his head) no
The rest of the Fellowship follow him in. Gandalf walks up to the tomb and reads the Dwarven rhunes inscripted upon it
GANDALF: Here lies Balin, son of Fundin, Lord of Moria. (Gimli is distraught) He is dead then. (he removes his hat) Its as I feared.
Gimli cries. Gandalf notices a skeleton next to the tomb holding a large book. He passes his hat and staff to Pippin and picks it up. Pages fall out of it. Gandalf blows off the dust.
LEGOLAS: (to Aragorn) We must move on, we cannot linger.
GANDALF: (reading from the book) They have taken the Bridge and the second hall. We have barred the gates, but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes. Drums (Pippin is walking backwards looking around him) Drums in the deep. We cannot get out. (everyone is looking around them nervously) A shadow moves in the dark. (Pippin glances behind him at a well on which a skeleton is sat holding chains) We cannot get out. They are coming.
