Scene Five
(Kendalf is leading Lizzo Baggins and Kram Gamgee on a path in a wooded
area of the Shire. It is just a few hours after sunrise. Kram Gamgee is
carrying the supplies, and they are both dressed in traveling cloaks.
Kendalf walks beside his horse and is giving the hobbits some last minute
instructions)
Kendalf: (In a quiet voice) Be sure to keep off the road, you two. The Dark Lord has many spies. (Looking around suspiciously) Birds.beasts.(Looks at the hobbits) Sears' employees.
(Lizzo Baggins gasps and Kram Gamgee looks scandalized)
Kram Gamgee: (Angrily) And to think I bought my lawnmower from them!
Kendalf: (Bending near Lizzo Baggins, putting a hand on her shoulder) Lizzo, about the Movie-never push the play chip. Do not be fooled by it. The forces of the Dark Lord are drawn the Movie-they will be able to find you. The Movie-remember-wants to get back to its master. It wants to be found.
(Lizzo Baggins nods, looking very nervous about what lies ahead. Kendalf gets up and goes to his horse. Before he mounts, he turns to say one more thing to the hobbits)
Kendalf: And never use, "Baggins" as your real name, Lizzo! It is not safe outside of the Shire.
(Kendalf mounts the horse and rides off. Lizzo Baggins watches him leave, looking as though she wishes he wouldn't. Finally, Kram Gamgee comes up to her-frowning as she watches Kendalf leave)
Kram Gamgee: (In an angry voice) How come he gets a horse, and I'm the county mule? (Angrily indicates the many packs upon her back)
(Lizzo Baggins looks at her friend, knowing that Kram Gamgee doesn't really understand anything of what is taking place, then nods and begins to walk through the forest-towards Bree. Kram Gamgee follows her, and the camera zones out to see them traveling at a distance. Next, we see them crossing a river using stones. Lizzo Baggins is doing fine, but Kram Gamgee keeps slipping and falling, cursing each time she does so. Then, we see the hobbits crossing a field with a single scarecrow in it. Lizzo Baggins is walking undisturbed, but Kram Gamgee suddenly stops and looks around)
Kram Gamgee: (In a distant voice) This is it.
Lizzo Baggins: (Turns around and frowns at Kram Gamgee) This is what?
Kram Gamgee: (Waits for a while before speaking) If I take one more step- it'll be the farthest from home I've ever been. Lizzo Baggins: (Not really seeing how this is supposed to be important) Yeah, but we'll be closer towards our goal. So-one's more important than the other, Kram.
(Kram Gamgee bows her head sadly, obviously wishing to go back. Lizzo Baggins takes sympathy upon her, and comes up to her friend, putting a comforting hand upon her shoulder)
Lizzo Baggins: (In a comforting voice) Aw, cheer up, Kram. It's not so bad. Just remember what ol' Milbo used to say!
Kram Gamgee: (Scrunches up face as she tries to remember) Uh-"Kram, you'd better trim those hedges better next time before I give true value to your name and cram those hedge clippers up your-"
Lizzo Baggins: (Shouting and gesturing wildly for Kram Gamgee to quit speaking) No! The other thing! (Begins to walk with Kram Gamgee) "It's a dangerous thing-"
(We hear Milbo Baggins continue the speech, and see Lizzo Baggins and Kram Gamgee stopped under a big tree. Lizzo Baggins is lounging in the tree and Kram Gamgee is cooking over a fire)
Milbo Baggins: Going out your front door. You step onto the road-and if you don't keep your feet-there's not knowing where the hell you'll be swept off to.
(The camera gets a good shot of Kram Gamgee's cooking, which is slightly burnt. Lizzo Baggins looks down and starts laughing)
Lizzo Baggins: Nice science project, down there, Kram.
Kram Gamgee: (Looking up at Lizzo Baggins irritably) You know, it'd help a bunch if you'd get down here and help me-hint, hint!
Lizzo Baggins: (Lazily leaning back on the branch) Yes, but-that requires work, and I don't like work. I'm much happy with you doing everything. Now (In a demanding voice) work, slave! Work! (Laughs slightly)
(Kram Gamgee sighs and takes the pan off the fire. Then, she digs into the pack and pulls out a map of the Shire. She studies it for a while and frowns)
Kram Gamgee: (In an agitated voice) Okay, according to this map, "North"- doesn't exist.
(Suddenly, Lizzo Baggins hears the singing of Woodelves, and she sits up)
Lizzo Baggins: (Whispering excitedly) Kram! (Kram Gamgee folds the map and looks at Lizzo Baggins) Do you hear that? Kram Gamgee: (Listens for a moment and then her eyes widen) Yeah. (Looks at Lizzo Baggins)
Lizzo Baggins: (Excited) Woodelves!
(We see Lizzo Baggins and Kram Gamgee running through the forest and they hide behind a big log. We hear the Woodelves singing grimly. The hobbits poke their heads from the log and look at the great spectacle. The camera shows a line of Woodelves singing and going towards the west, still singing. Then, we come back to the hobbits, who watch in awe)
Lizzo Baggins: (In a whisper) They are going towards the west-where they will leave Middle Earth. Their lives are almost over, now.
Kram Gamgee: (Looks a bit saddened) I don't know why but-it makes me sad.
Lizzo Baggins: (Looks at Kram Gamgee with raised eyebrows) Well, how could it not make you sad? They're singing like Enya! That's gotta be depressing!
(Kram Gamgee nods in understanding and they watch the Woodelves continue passing. Then, we see the hobbits lying down under the tree again ready to get some sleep. At least, Lizzo Baggins is attempting to get some sleep, but Kram Gamgee is tossing and turning angrily)
Lizzo Baggins: (With her eyes closed and sounding annoyed) Kram, if you move one more time, I'm going to tie you to the ground and call a bunch of wolves to you.
Kram Gamgee: (Irritably) I can't help it, Miss Lizzo! Every time I try to get comfortable, there's a big root in my back.
Lizzo Baggins: (Sighing angrily) Try to imagine you're back home in your bed. With soft pillows and a feather mattress. Picture yourself home-in the Shire.
Kram Gamgee: (Silent for a while, then tosses and turns again) Great! Now I miss home! I don't think home ever had the feeling that you were getting kicked in the back every time you lied down. (Groans pitifully) Oh, this really sucks, Miss Lizzo!
Lizzo Baggins: (Smiles in spite of herself) Goodnight, Kram.
Kram Gamgee: (Grabs some bread from her pack and begins to eat it, looking at the sky. Then she lets out a sigh of disgust) This bread's no good, Miss Lizzo-it's moldy.
(The camera shows us a wonderful view of the shire, the night beginning to blanket it. Then, we hear a sudden hiss and we see Cingulair watching the land from a cliff. Then, we see Kendalf riding into Isengard, and we hear Andraman speaking in his solemn voice) Andraman: Jauron and his foes awake from the east-the shadow of doom is upon us. (We see Kendalf in front of Andraman's palace, and Andraman is waiting for him on the steps, his staff in hand) And Kendalf, the old but extremely attractive, rides to my aid. (Goes up to Kendalf, who is looking at Andraman in extreme pride) That is why you have come, is it not, Kendalf?
Kendalf: (Takes off his hat and bows his head with nobility) Andraman-the older and most gorgeous one.
(We now see Andraman and Kendalf walking around outside the palace, conversing with each other)
Andraman: (In a solemn voice) So, the Movie of Power has indeed been found?
Kendalf: (In a disappointed voice) Yes, I'm afraid so, Andraman.
Andraman: (Looking towards the distance, with a malice in his look) So, it is indeed true.
Kendalf: (Not noticing Andraman's behavior and looking very upset) Yes, and under my nose in the Shire! I'm so stupid! (Smacks himself in the head) Stupid!
Andraman: (Looking at Kendalf with a mocking smile) It appears as if your love for the Halfling's leaf has shone through.
Kendalf: (Looking at Andraman with a quizzical stare) I have no idea what that means, but I'm guessing that it's not good. But, with the right amount of time-
Andraman: (With a laugh in his voice, causing Kendalf to stop in his tracks) Time? What time do you think we have?
Kendalf: (Looks down at watch) My watch tells me a quarter to three, but I may have passed through a time zone, so I'm not too-
Andraman: (Angrily) That was a rhetorical question, you idiot! You weren't supposed to answer that!
Kendalf: (Looks at Andraman and rolls his eyes) Well, maybe if you would've told me that, I wouldn't be so stupid about it! Duh!
(Now we see Andraman and Kendalf in the palace. Andraman is sitting in a chair by a black table, talking to Kendalf with a dead serious tone. Kendalf listens intently, not wanting to miss a word from the head of the council)
Andraman: Jauron is assembling a force that will be strong enough to stand against the forces of Middle Earth. Jauron is growing restless. After years of being torn away from his Movie, he senses that it has been found. His great eye-writhed in flame-sees all. It pierces earth, sea, sky, and flesh.
(Kendalf looks behind him nervously, and draws his robes tighter about him, afraid that forces are watching him. Andraman continues, looking a bit satisfied that he has made Kendalf uncomfortable)
Andraman: You know of what I speak of, Kendalf. Once the Movie is returned to Jauron-he will wield a power too great for anybody to smother. Much destruction will come upon Middle Earth.
Kendalf: (Suddenly suspicious) You know this? How?
Andraman: (Smiling at Kendalf) I have seen it.
(We now see the Palantir on a shale table, covered by a silvery cloth. As we hear Kendalf and Andraman approach, the camera catches the sight of them. Kendalf looks a bit agitated)
Kendalf: (Scolding Andraman) The Palantir is a dangerous tool, Andraman! It must never be used!
Andraman: (Looking at Kendalf with a quizzical expression) Why? Why should we-(Pulls the cloth off the Palantir, and the camera shows its misty-like appearance entrapped within the orb) fear to use it?
Kendalf: (Snatching the cloth away from Andraman, who is smiling, and speaks angrily) I'll tell you why! There are other Palantirs out there besides ours-lost in the world! We may not know who else may be watching! (Moves over to cover the Palantir again. Then, he looks at Andraman again) Didn't you ever pay attention to those films they made us watch in wizard's school?
(Kendalf puts the cloth back on the Palantir, but we immediately see the Eye of Jauron flash before us with an angry hiss, then vanish immediately. Kendalf looks at the Palantir for the longest time, very bemused. Then, he looks back at Andraman, who is speaking as he sits on his throne of black shale)
Andraman: (In a flat voice, as if what he's saying is no big deal) Jauron's forces are on the move. (Looks at Kendalf with a strange smile curling upon his lips) The Nine Phone Solicitors have ridden from the gates of Mordor.
Kendalf: (Coming towards Andraman, with a frightened look upon his face) The-The Nine Phone Solicitors?
Andraman: (Continuing, disregarding the fear that Kendalf shows) They have crossed the Bywater Bridge on Midsummer's Eve. Kendalf: (Eyes going wide in fear) They've reached the Shire?
Andraman: (Casually, the camera closing in about his face as he speaks) They will find the Movie-and kill the one who carries it.
Kendalf: (Camera coming back to his horrified face) Lizzo!
(Immediately, Kendalf turns to leave and warn the hobbit, but the doors suddenly shut with a big BANG! Kendalf turns around toward Andraman, who is smiling at the act he has done. Kendalf turns towards another set of doors, but Andraman uses his power to shut those off as well. Kendalf tries again and again, but each time he does, Andraman closes the doors. Finally, when all of his exits are barred, Kendalf turns to stare at Andraman, who is smiling in dead calm)
Kendalf: (Looking at Andraman and looking a bit awkward about the situation) Uh, Andraman, I can't really warn Lizzo if you're barring my way off. I need to-Wait a moment! (Suddenly sees that Andraman is really acting strange and goes closer to him) Is this about that time that I pulled your pants down in gym in high school? Because I said I was sorry about that!
Andraman: (Angrily) No! Though, (Looks off to the side darkly as he remembers the event) I haven't forgotten about that. But anyways, (He looks at Kendalf with an amused look) you cannot expect a hobbit to contend with the power of the Movie, Kendalf. There is no other way of stopping him. (Leans forward anxiously) Kendalf, we must join with him. He will reward us beyond our wildest dreams. There is no other way, Kendalf. Join me, my old friend.
Kendalf: (Looks scandalized at first, but then pulls a look of pure venom upon his face as he speaks) Tell me, Andraman, (Camera closes in about his face as he speaks) when did Andraman the Wise suddenly reason with madness?
Andraman: (Camera goes in on his angered expression and he stands up and points his staff at Kendalf, who goes flying) Since I got here, Kendalf!
(Kendalf crashes into the wall and slides down painfully, only just able to hold onto his staff. His hair is in all sorts of directions and he angrily gets to his feet and points his staff at Andraman, who goes flying the other way)
Kendalf: You screwed up my hair, you jerk!
(Andraman lands against the wall, but immediately comes to his feet again. He glares at Kendalf, and with one swish of his free hand, the Kendalf's staff flies from his grip)
Kendalf: (Watching hopelessly as the staff leaves his grip) MY STAFF!
Andraman: (Looking hysterical) YOU SCUFFED UP MY BEST ROBES! YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT, KENDALF!
(Andraman raises the staffs, and looks ready to strike, but we suddenly go forward and see both Kendalf and Andraman gasping for breath, battered and looking exhausted. Atop the screen, we see, "Five seconds later." Kendalf is breathing through an oxygen mask, and Andraman is grasping his knees and breathing in and out with exhaustion; he has a black eye. Kendalf's robes are torn up and he is bleeding from the head)
Kendalf: (Speaking in gasps through the mask) Thanks-for the oxygen- Andraman.
Andraman: (Gasping and waving to Kendalf as if it is no big deal) You looked like you needed it, Kendalf.
Kendalf: Andraman-we can't keep-doing this, man. We'll both-kill ourselves.
Andraman: (Nodding) Yeah. What if I-get my guards to-take you away-kicking and screaming?
Kendalf: (Breathes in and out and finally nods) Yeah that sounds-good.
Andraman: (Shouting) GUARDS!
(Guards of Isengard#1&2 enter the room. Andraman waves carelessly at Kendalf, telling the guards to take him away. Guards of Isengard#1&2 grab Kendalf from under the arms and begin to carry him off. Kendalf begins to shout and let himself drag)
Kendalf: (Shouting at Andraman) NO! NO! ANDRAMAN! YOU COWARD! YOU- CANNOT-WIN! THIS-ISN'T-OVER!
Kendalf: (In a quiet voice) Be sure to keep off the road, you two. The Dark Lord has many spies. (Looking around suspiciously) Birds.beasts.(Looks at the hobbits) Sears' employees.
(Lizzo Baggins gasps and Kram Gamgee looks scandalized)
Kram Gamgee: (Angrily) And to think I bought my lawnmower from them!
