The Lighter Side of the Taint: Arnold Schwarzenegger as Perrin Aybara

(Deep Voiced Movie Announcer)

In a time when trouble was spreading across the land

(pan across a field of dying wheat being marched across by an army)

A simple blacksmith had his own problems

(Arnold) "Sometimes, especially in the dream, I forget I'm a man, not a wolf. If one of these times I don't remember quickly enough, I'll lose hold, I'll be a wolf. In my head, at least. A sort of half-wrong image of a wolf. There won't be anything of me left."

He stood against the tides of darkness for the love of his life

(scene outside village square with armed villagers standing around a wolf's head banner)

(Faile) I'll not have you bleeding to death on me. That would be just like you, to die and leave me the work of burying you. You have no consideration.

(Arnold) Faile. My falcon.

But then they took her

(Arnold) Faile! Nooooooo!!

He will make them pay

(Arnold) "A Warder once told me Trollocs call the Aiel Waste 'the Dying Ground.' I mean to make them give that name to the Two Rivers."

Wherever they go

(pan across the ruined city of Malden, cut to Sevanna scolding Faile)

(Sevanna) You will do as I say or I will have you beaten again and again.

With any weapon that comes to hand

(Sam Elliot as Elyas) "You'll use it, boy, and as long as you hate using it, you will use it more wisely than most men would. Wait. If ever you don't hate it any longer, then will be the time to throw it as far as you can and run the other way."

And with a ragtag band of misfits to help him find her

(scenes of wolves running through a snowy forest, then cut to Aiel and Two Rivers bowmen marching over a hill)

(Gaul) Get on a horse? Me? Must be wetlander humor. What'll you think of next, Perrin?

Arnold Schwarzenegger

"The Wolf King"

(Arnold) Tell her I love her. Tell her I’m coming.
