The phrase [[OlderThanTheyThink was originally used]] in World War I by the French at Verdun: "''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They_shall_not_pass On ne passe pas]]!''" (Although, technically, that's "''None'' shall pass!" but who's keeping track?) Later used during the Spanish Civil War: "''¡No pasarán!''" (in this case, "They won't pass!") in response to which General Franco later said, "Hemos pasado," meaning, "We have passed." The Spanish phrase became an international anti-fascist slogan. The TropeNamer is Gandalf the Grey from Peter Jackson's ''Film/TheFellowShipOfTheRing'', who declares this directly to an ancient demon that pursues both him and his Fellowship of friends across a bridge spanning an immensely deep pit; he meets the demon half-way along the bridge, blocking its path directly, after all of his friends have crossed it already.
