FLY, you fools! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Fly=leave, as in hurriedly leave
you fools=well, they are stupid enough to stop and not think about the consequences of just standing there.

Although...I always wondered why Gandalf had to leave at odd times...except for facing that Balrog (which was apparently, the G-man's greatest fear), which a fear that he had to face.

BUT, the brevity of these words cannot be expressed in any other way. Those three words pretty much say it all...think the Seven Last Words of Jesus Christ. There was an urgency in both cases (Jesus hadn't had enough time to say what he wanted to say, and so did Gandalf). I believe in the eloquence of those "three words." They were meant for the safety of the rest of the company, and for the brave task that Gandalf had to face.
