This comes as Gandalf is preparing Pippin to meet Denethor and is warning him to be carefull about what he says, especially in regard to Aragorn.

Gandalf: Do as I bid! It is scarcely wise when bringing the news of the death of his heir to a mighty lord to speak over much of the coming of one who will, if he comes, claim the kingship. Is that enough?

"Kingship?" said Pippin amazed.

"Yes," said Gandalf. "If you have walked all these days with closed ears and mind asleep, wake up now!"

Any Gandalf-Pippin interaction is usually worth a laugh.

By the way, another Treebeard fan here as atested by my sig line. I think he's pretty funny too.
