This iconic line is delivered with such force and authority that it becomes an instant classic. It perfectly captures Gandalf's power and his refusal to let evil prevail. Gandalf says this line during the scene in the Mines of Moria when the Fellowship is trying to escape and is confronted by the Balrog on the Bridge of Khazad-dûm. Gandalf stands his ground to protect the others, and this is the powerful line he delivers before facing the Balrog in a dramatic showdown.
