Put on the gear I gave you. Cover your eyes, ears, forehead and mouth. This goes into your pocket.

Hug and spin. Walk to the plane, then have Ms. Ambrose come back with my transponder.

I want a hug!

Me too!

Hug me next!

Fly, you fools! I can't distract them with hugs forever!

“At the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, they encounter “Durin's Bane”, a fearsome Balrog from ancient times. Gandalf faces the Balrog to enable the others to escape. After a brief exchange of blows, Gandalf breaks the bridge beneath the Balrog with his staff. As the Balrog falls, it wraps its whip around Gandalf's legs, dragging him over the edge. Gandalf falls into the abyss, crying “Fly, you fools!”.” from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandalf#The_Hobbit

[!0.36]The Balrog reached the bridge. Gandalf stood in the middle of the span, leaning on the staff in his left hand, but in his other hand Glamdring gleamed, cold and white. His enemy halted again, facing him, and the shadow about it reached out like two vast wings. It raised the whip, and the thongs whined and cracked. Fire came from its nostrils. But Gandalf stood firm. “You cannot pass,” he said. The orcs stood still, and a dead silence fell. “I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. You cannot pass. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. Go back to the Shadow! You cannot pass.”
