He said: "Get up, you tom-fool of a Took! Where, in the name of wonder, in all this ruin is Treebeard? I want him. Quick!"' 'What are we going to do now then?' asked Pippin, undaunted by the wizard's bristling brows. "Knock on the door with your head, Peregrin Took,' said Gandalf. 'But if that does not shatter them, and I am allowed a little peace from foolish questions, I will seek for the opening words.' 'Fool of a Took!' he growled. 'This is a serious journey, not a hobbit walking-party. Throw yourself in next time, and then you will be no further nuisance. Now be quiet!' |

As for anything going on between the actors - one of them might have the occasional impossible dream, but so what? I've been his fan for a long time and I am sure he is truly taken by the immense energy of these young men. Why not let the old queen dream? He's given more to the art than most of us ever will in our entire lifetimes.

Gandalf's goal is to keep his staff. He sweet-talks Hama outside the door, so he gets to keep it. However, once he is INSIDE, he wants to CONCEAL his staff, esp. from Grima, who was smart enough to specifically tell Hama to take it from Gandalf. Therefore, he leans on Legolas' arm to make it look like, to Hama, that he had to give up his staff before coming in and he doesn't have it anymore. It's only when Gandalf is in the room a bit and starts to stand up straighter that Grima realizes Gandalf still has his staff, and Grima says "Rats! I TOLD you to forbid his staff!" (or something like that).
And that's MHO
