Scene Eleven (The camera is looking through Lizzo Baggins' eyes as they focus on the scene that lay before her. She is on her back in some forested area. It takes a while to distinguish the statue forms of Trolls in front of her. The camera shows Lizzo Baggins' face, which is perspiring heavily and looking very pale as she struggles to survive. Then, we're looking through her eyes again as Kram Gamgee comes up to her and speaks)

Kram Gamgee: (In a trying to be happy voice) Look, Miss Lizzo! It's Miss Milbo's trolls!

(We see Lizzo Baggins and Kram Gamgee. Lizzo Baggins tries to sit up, but can't seem to find the strength. Kram Gamgee is kneeling by her, pulling her face into a look of forced cheerfulness)

Lizzo Baggins: (Weakly) Kram-not a-good-time-for-that! OUCH! (Closes her eyes in pain and grasps her left shoulder)

Kram Gamgee: (Fearful) Miss Lizzo? (Puts her hand on Lizzo Baggins face and her eyes widen as she looks towards Jimagorn) She's going cold!

(The wind begins to blow as we see Jimagorn standing in the clearing they have stopped to rest at and wondering what to do for Lizzo Baggins. Besides him stands Rippin Took and Jessie Brandybuck, who look over when Kram Gamgee shouts about Lizzo Baggins' condition. Rippin Took, holding the torch, steps towards Jimagorn)

Rippin Took: Is she going to die?

Jessie Brandybuck: (Scandalized and slapping Rippin Took on the shoulder) Rippin!

Rippin Took: (Gasps in pain, starts rubbing her shoulder, and speaks to Jessie Brandybuck in an angry tone) I'm just asking!

Jimagorn: (Looks over towards Lizzo Baggins with a grim look) She's passing into the shadow. She'll become one of them soon.

(Lizzo Baggins shouts out in pain, and Rippin Took looks at Jimagorn blankly)

Rippin Took: Yeah, but-not dead?

(We see Lizzo Baggins speaking to Kram Gamgee, who looks very worried)

Lizzo Baggins: (Weakly) Kram-are-you-interested in-changing-your long- distance-plan?

(We see Kram Gamgee's eyes go wide and she looks at Jimagorn with a frantic stare)

Kram Gamgee: (In a frantic tone) YA GOTTA DO SOMETHIN' FAST, GAZER!

(We see Jimagorn start to think hard. Finally, he comes up with an idea)

Jimagorn: Kram!

(Kram Gamgee jumps up and runs towards Jimagorn, who speaks low and very clearly to Kram Gamgee)

Jimagorn: Do you know of the plant Athelas?

Kram Gamgee: (Her face pulls into a look of confusion) Athelas?

Jimagorn: (In a hurried tone) Kingsfoil?

Kram Gamgee: (Still looks confused) Kingsfoil?

Jimagorn: (Rolls his eyes) Short plant with white flowers?

Kram Gamgee: (Suddenly understands and starts nodding) Kingsfoil! Aye, that's a weed!

Jimagorn: (In a low hurried tone) We're going to need it. It will help slow the poison-I think there might be some growing in this forest.

(They run off into the forest, going separate ways, while Rippin Took and Jessie Brandybuck watch them go. Rippin Took folds her arms and stares after them with a sort of glare)

Rippin Took: (In a pouting type of voice) How come it's Kram who always gets asked the gardening questions?

Jessie Brandybuck: (In an obvious and angry tone) Because she's a gardener, Rippin!

Rippin Took: (Turning to face Jessie Brandybuck angrily) Well-anybody could be a gardener! (Bends and picks up a round object off the ground. When she speaks, it is in a surprisingly intelligent voice) This is a rare bulb of a lily plant-later to grow into a beautiful yellow flower.

Jessie Brandybuck: (Takes one look at the round object and back at Rippin Took) Uh-Rippin-that's a rock.

(Now we see Jimagorn in the forest, searching through many bushes and muttering to himself)

Jimagorn: Come on, Athelas! Athelas! Here, Athie, Athie, Athie! (As he pulls back a bush, his eyes narrow in satisfaction) Ah ha! Athelas!

(We see the plant in Jimagorn's palm, connected to the bush. He draws out a small dagger and makes to cut the plant, but suddenly a sword blade rests about his neck and he stops dead. We hear Narwen speak)

Narwen: (In an amused voice) What's this? A Ranger, caught off his guard?

Jimagorn: (In an annoyed voice) This is neither the time nor the place, Narwen!

(We go back to see Lizzo Baggins lying down, looking horrible. She turns her head towards the camera and her eyes widen as the area around her gets very bright)

Lizzo Baggins: (In a shaking voice) Whoa-it got all bright in here all of a sudden.

(We see Narwen ride into the clearing, white light all around, on a white horse. She stops the horse and gets off. Then, she steps towards Lizzo Baggins and we can see her perfectly. She speaks to Lizzo Baggins in a distant type voice)

Narwen: Lizzo-I am Narwen. Quit being such a pansy and come back to the light. Lizzo.

(We see Lizzo Baggins turn her head back upright and the light begins to fade. Tears of pain come out of her eyes as the pain comes back to her)

Lizzo Baggins: (Weakly) This-sucks! Owie!

(We see Narwen bend towards Lizzo Baggins and starts to look at her condition. Jimagorn is nearby, the Athelas plant still clutched tightly in his hand. Then, we see Rippin Took and Jessie Brandybuck watching the scene with wide, curious expressions. Kram Gamgee joins them from the forest, her arms full of thin leaves, and is staring at Narwen)

Rippin Took: (Quietly) Who is she?

Jessie Brandybuck: (In a suddenly suspicious tone) More importantly, what is she?

Kram Gamgee: (Quietly) Jimagorn says she's an Elven friend of his.

Rippin Took: (Looks at the leaves in Kram Gamgee's hands and scolds) Are those willow leaves?

Kram Gamgee: (Looks down with guilt) I couldn't find the one plant Jimagorn wanted, so I just grabbed these-I just wanted to look important.

(We go back to Jimagorn, Narwen, and Lizzo Baggins. Lizzo Baggins gasps in pain as Jimagorn puts the crushed up Athelas plant over her wound. Narwen is speaking in a low tone to Jimagorn)

Narwen: (Shaking her head) This does not look good. She's not going to last.

(Lizzo Baggins lets out a shout of pain. Kram Gamgee, who moved over towards the group a while ago, scolds at Narwen)

Kram Gamgee: (Angrily) Uh-yeah-you're not helping!

Narwen: (Ignoring Kram Gamgee) We have to get her to my father.

(Jimagorn lifts Lizzo Baggins effortlessly and begins to carry her to Narwen's horse. We go back to Jessie Brandybuck and Rippin Took who look a bit confused)

Jessie Brandybuck: (In a worried tone to Rippin Took) What're they doing?

(Rippin Took shrugs in confusion and we go back to Jimagorn, who is putting Lizzo Baggins on the horse in the sitting position. Lizzo Baggins slouches slightly, fighting to stay conscious. Narwen is speaking to Jimagorn in a hurried, low tone)

Narwen: You left four phone solicitors behind you-where the other five are- (Shakes her head in dismay) I don't know.

Jimagorn: (In Elvish, and the translation on the bottom of the screen) Stay with the hobbits. I will ride to Rivendell.

Narwen: (In a worried Elvish language; the translation on the bottom of the screen) No! I will ride faster!

Jimagorn: (Scowling as he speaks to her in Elvish) Are you calling me fat?

Narwen: (Angrily in Elvish) No! You're in perfect shape, but I can ride her to Rivendell!

Jimagorn: (Shaking his head at once and speaking in Elvish) No. It is not safe, Narwen!

Narwen: (In an agitated Elvish language) That's what you said about driving! I can use the power of my people to protect myself-oh, and her. (In English, shaking her head) I do not fear them!

(Jimagorn still looks hesitant, and Narwen touches his face to reassure him. Jimagorn grabs her hand and we hear his thoughts)

Jimagorn: Damn! The sexy touch! (He blinks once and speaks to Narwen) All right, then. (Narwen gets on the horse, behind Lizzo Baggins. Once on, Narwen grasps Lizzo Baggins across the stomach, to hold her in place. We go back to Rippin Took and Jessie Brandybuck, who have their mouths open in disbelief)

Rippin Took: (In a heated whisper) What is Gazer doing?

(We go back to Jimagorn, who is standing next to Narwen's horse and speaking to Narwen)

Jimagorn: (In a stern tone) Narwen, ride hard! Don't look back!

(Narwen nods her head, kicks the horse in the sides, and tells the horse to go in Elvish tongue. In a matter of minutes, Narwen and Lizzo Baggins are out of sight, and Jimagorn stares after them, touching his chest and looking worried. Kram Gamgee throws down the willow leaves in her hands and walks up to Jimagorn angrily)

Kram Gamgee: (Shouting at him) What're you doing? Those phone solicitors are still out there!

Jimagorn: (Stares at Kram Gamgee for a while and scowls) You're point being.?

(We see Narwen and Lizzo Baggins riding towards Rivendell quickly. The camera closes in on Lizzo Baggins, whose head is bobbing up and down uncontrollably as they ride towards Rivendell. Suddenly, Lizzo Baggins smiles weakly)

Lizzo Baggins: (In a kind of far-off voice) Want to know what's funny? Every time I blink I pass out. (Blinks, and then snaps her head up with a laugh. Blinks again, and does the same thing. Blinks again and does the same thing)

Narwen: (In a stern tone) Stop that!

(We see the horse plunging towards the distance, and then we see Adelphia ride up next to Narwen on his bicycle, ringing his bell in a threatening way; we hear the sound of many bicycle bells ringing randomly to proclaim that the other Phone Solicitors are behind her. Narwen gasps slightly, but doesn't falter in speed. Narwen doesn't look behind her, and we get an overhead view of all Nine Phone Solicitors closing in on Narwen in a triangle type movement. Then, we suddenly go to Television Geek#1, who wears a T-shirt that reads, "Star Wars Rules!" and is watching the movie on a big screen TV and eating popcorn. He is joined by Television Geek#2, who wears a T-shirt that reads, "Stop Reading My T-Shirt!" and has his hands in his pockets)

Television Geek#2: (Looking at Television Geek#1) Hey, dude. (Looks at the screen) What're you watchin'?

Television Geek#1: (Looks back at Television Geek#2) Lord of the Movie. (Points to screen and explains) See, Narwen-that Elven chick on the white horse-is trying to outrun the phone solicitors-those black robed dudes on the bicycles-so that she can get Lizzo-that other, small chick on the white horse-to Rivendell. (Takes a handful of popcorn and shoves it into his mouth and resumes watching the movie)

Television Geek#2: (Watches the movie for a while, then frowns, and speaks angrily) Well-that's no fair! Everyone knows that demon bicycles run faster than regular horses!

Television Geek#1: (Looks at screen, frowns as well, and speaks angrily) Hey, yeah! Rip off!

(We go back to the movie, where Narwen is almost totally surrounded by the Nine Phone Solicitors. Adelphia, who is right next to her, extends a hand towards Lizzo Baggins, who stares at him though barely open eyes-too weak to practically keep them open. The camera shows Narwen's face pulled into a look of pure worry as she shouts for the horse to go faster in the Elvish tongue. The horse bolts into the forest, where the Nine Phone Solicitors follow her without a moment's hesitation. Undisturbed, Narwen's horse bounds into the forest, running towards the ford that will lead to Rivendell. We see AT&T bump into a great root and totally wipe out)

AT&T: (In a painful voice) Ouch! Go around me! Go around me, please!

(Motorola apparently hasn't heard, because he rides his bike right over AT&T. AT&T gives a great shout of pain)

Motorola: (Shouting behind him) Out of my way, jerk-off!

AT&T: (Angrily) You should talk, stupid! And by the way, they didn't say anything about putting spikes on your tires!

(We suddenly see Sprint riding through the forest, just a few feet behind Narwen and her horse. But, we suddenly see Sprint's flowing black robes catch in his chain and he stops quickly, shouting in worry)

Sprint: (Shouting to the others) MAN DOWN! I'M DOWN! GO ON WITHOUT ME!

(The other Phone Solicitors proceed in their hot pursuit, and it looks like they might catch the Elf and the wounded hobbit. But we see Narwen approach a ford, and the horse crosses the shallow river and goes to the other side, where Narwen turns the horse around to face the Nine Phone Solicitors, who show up out of the forest and rear their horses at the water in front of them. Narwen's face is contorted into a look of daring as she watches as eight Phone Solicitors pull up to the opposite side of the ford, all ringing their bells in anger. We see Sprint join the others, his robes obviously torn on the bottom, and he joins in ringing his bell. Lizzo Baggins looks at them as well, looking horribly weak. Then, we see Adelphia speak to Narwen from across the ford, in his scratchy, hissing voice)

Adelphia: Give up the halfling, She-Elf! Or-save on long distance! (Brandishes a fist at Narwen)

Narwen: (Pulls out sword and glares at the Nine Phone Solicitors as she shouts) If you want her-COME AND CLAIM HER!

Lizzo Baggins: (Looking back at Narwen and speaking weakly) Uh, Narwen-I don't think-we're-shooting for that-goal!

(We see the Nine Phone Solicitors pull out their black swords in one motion all at the same time. Then, Adelphia first, the Nine Phone Solicitors begin to slowly pedal their bikes into the shallow river, towards Narwen and Lizzo Baggins. Narwen looks down into the water and begins to say a chant in Elvish, as she speaks, her voice echoes. When she says the last line, the camera catches Narwen look up with malice. Then, from up the river and turning the corner, rushing water horses start bounding down the river, catching the Nine Phone Solicitors totally off-guard. We see Adelphia look at the water horses)

Adelphia: (In a normal voice) Ah, crap.

(The water horses then run over the Nine Phone Solicitors, who hiss as they go under. Then, the water horses disappear down the river, taking the Nine Phone Solicitors with them, we occasionally hear the sound of bicycle bells ringing. Then, we see Elven Boy and Elven Father sitting in inner tubes, floating graciously down the river. Then, Elven Boy looks up as he hears a rumbling come from up the river)

Elven Boy: (In a curious voice) What the heck's that sound?

(Elven Father looks up the river as well. Then, we see the water horses coming from up the river, tumbling the Nine Phone Solicitors with them. Elven Boy and Elven Father shout hysterically as the water horses run over them. After a few seconds, the Elven Boy and the Elven Father wash up on the shore, still in the inner tubes. Their faces are contorted into looks of shock. They look at one another)

Elven Father: (In a small voice) Well-that was interesting.

Elven Boy: (Nods and suddenly his eyes go wide and he stares at his father) Oh no! Dad! Mom and sis are just down the river from us!

(Both Elves get up and start shouting as they run on the shore down the river. Then we see Lizzo Baggins suddenly close her eyes and her head droops onto her chest-she begins to gasp for breath. Narwen looks down and her eyes widen in fear. She sheathes her sword, and turns Lizzo Baggins around so that she can face her. Tears come to Narwen's eyes as she speaks)

Narwen: (In a pleading tone) No! Lizzo, no! Don't give in! Don't give in!

Lizzo Baggins: (Opens her eyes and lifts her head barely so that she can speak weakly to Narwen) But-I-want-to.

(Lizzo Baggins closes her eyes and her head drops back as she slips into unconsciousness. Narwen's eyes fill with tears, which drop onto her face as she stares at the hobbit. Then, her face works into a look of anger as she speaks to the hobbit)

Narwen: Oh! I see how this is! Wait till I get across the ford-only a few more miles to Rivendell-and then die! You big wussy! You better wake up before I start kicking some major hobbit butt! (The camera zooms out to show Narwen shaking Lizzo Baggins at a distance. She starts shouting) Lizzo? LIZZO!

(Camera blacks out)
