Scene Fifteen
(We see the company traveling on the rocky path to the Walls of Moria. Even though no snow is present, it is rather damp and cold, so the hoods on the cloaks of the company are still drawn up. Kendalf leads the company, looking up at the rocky mountains around him)
Kendalf: (Leaning against a rock and shouting back) Lizzo! Lizzo, come and help an old man!
(Lizzo Baggins, who was traveling behind Megolas, runs up to Kendalf to help, and he pushes himself up)
Lizzo Baggins: (As she helps Kendalf get back on his feet again) You're not old, Kendalf.
Kendalf: (With a small laugh) Lizzo, you don't have to work so hard as to flatter me on this trip.
Lizzo Baggins: (Lets out a sigh of relief) That's good, because I was beginning to run out of things to flatter you with. I had to pull that little thing about your age out of my "brown-nosing box".
Kendalf: (Decides to let this pass with a brief scold) How is your shoulder?
Lizzo Baggins: (Looks up a Kendalf reassuringly) Better than it was.
Kendalf: (Not even looking at Lizzo Baggins) And the Movie?
Lizzo Baggins: (Quickly looks at Kendalf with a questioning stare) Yes-that occasionally sucks from time to time.
Kendalf: (Stopping Lizzo Baggins and speaking to her in a hoarse, serious whisper) You feel its power growing, don't you? It weighs down upon you- causing you to wonder if you can even carry it. Well, you are not the only one that carries a burden. There are others, Lizzo Baggins, who have a want or need for the Movie-for one reason or another.
Lizzo Baggins: (Looking very nervous) Well-then whom do I trust?
Kendalf: (Giving her a piercing stare) Trust yourself, Lizzo Baggins. The only one who can control your actions and how you approach them is yourself.
Lizzo Baggins: (Touching her shoulder as she speaks) Well-sometimes I can be very convincing! I cannot always trust myself, Kendalf!
Jimagorn: (Walking by the two, sees Lizzo Baggins touching her shoulder, and scolds) Hey! Stop touching yourself! (Presumes walking, and looking quite smug as he strokes he chest) That's my job!
(We now see Brimli's eyes widen as she points ahead of her)
Brimli: (In an astonished voice) Look! The Walls of Moria!
(The camera shows the great Walls of Moria. The company stops in their tracks to stare at the marvelous spectacle. We see Jessie Brandybuck and Rippin Took staring with open mouths)
Rippin Took: (In a low voice, so that only Jessie Brandybuck can hear, singing) All and all you're just a-nother brick in the wall.
Jessie Brandybuck: (Laughing and punching Rippin Took in the arm) You dork.
Rippin Took: (Rubs her shoulder and glares at Jessie Brandybuck) Spaz!
(We see the company crossing the murky waters that lead towards the Walls of Moria. We see Lizzo Baggins gasp with fear as her foot slips and falls into the mud. Kram Gamgee, who's following, scolds at her)
Kram Gamgee: (In a sarcastic tone) Oh no! Mud! Of all the God-awful things that could befall the company of nine, Lizzo Baggins had to have stepped in mud! Oh my gosh! How tragic! How horrible! (Face falls into a look of anger as she faces Lizzo Baggins) Get a freakin' grip, you pansy!
(Lizzo Baggins scolds at Kram Gamgee, and we see Brimli walking up against the Walls of Moria, her axe out and smiling)
Brimli: (In a proud tone) These walls were built years ago by my people- strong as stone. (Lightly taps the stone with the axe)
Megolas: (Looking up at the walls and scowling) Well, they're nice, I'll admit that. But the walls aren't really anything good if you can't get inside.
(Brimli glares at Megolas, but Kendalf speaks, veering away from any brewing argument)
Kendalf: (Looking up at the walls, a cunning look upon his face) These walls, as Brimli so kindly mentioned, are constructed to be strong. The way in is a very cunning way indeed. (Goes to a part of the wall and runs his hand along it, muttering to himself) Let's see-evening-full moon-should be able to get through-Ah ha!
(The company lets out exclamations of surprise as the moonlight falls upon the wall where Kendalf stands, for there is the great Doors of Durin outlined in silver light. We see Rippin Took and Jessie Brandybuck staring at the door with astonished stares)
Rippin Took: (To Jessie Brandybuck) Dude, that is so much better than our club's entrance.
Jessie Brandybuck: (Nodding in agreement) Yeah-with this one you don't even need a key-just draw a door and nobody will come in.
Kendalf: (Pointing the staff at the Elvish script above the door and reading it) It reads, "The Doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter".
Jessie Brandybuck: (Digging a finger in her ear, showing stupidity) Uh-what d'ya suppose that means?
Kendalf: (Turing to Jessie Brandybuck and answering simply) Well, it's quite simple-so that probably explains why you don't get it-(Jessie Brandybuck nods in an understanding way) but it means if you're a friend, you speak the password and the doors will open! (Puts the staff up to the door, below the anvil, and speaks in a commanding tone) Annon edhellen, edro hi ammen! (When nothing happens, he looks about awkwardly and speaks another thing) Fennas nogothrim, lasto beth lammen!
(As nothing happens, we see the faces of the company. Lizzo Baggins looks a bit nervous, while the other three hobbits just look confused. Jimagorn is touching himself again; Mikomir is scowling at him; Brimli looks a bit embarrassed; Megolas just looks annoyed with this, obviously not very eager about taking a Dwarf's route. We see Kendalf hopelessly push against the doors, looking a bit confused. As he mutters to himself, we close in on his face)
Kendalf: (Obviously making it a point not to be overheard) Nothing can force them from the outside but the spell command. Though, nothing from inside can force them outwards.
Rippin Took: (In a simple, curious tone) What're you going to do then?
Kendalf: (Shouting angrily, causing Rippin Took to look quite upset at the insults) Knock your head against these doors, Rippin! (Turns around to face her, looking a bit angered) But if that does not shatter them, and I am allowed a little peace from foolish questions, (Takes a breath to calm himself) I will seek for the opening words.
Kram Gamgee: (Shrugging) I don't know, Kendalf. I liked that idea about banging Rippin's head against the door! She's got a pretty hard head-it'd probably work, you know. (Rippin Took angrily punches her in the shoulder) OUCH! I was just saying!
(Now we see the company still outside the wall, Kendalf trying in vain every form of "Open" in every language. Lizzo Baggins is sitting beside a rock next to the door, looking a bit bored and upset that nothing's working. We then see Jimagorn and Kram Gamgee talking. Kram Gamgee is removing the reins of Bill, the pony-with a sad look upon her face)
Jimagorn: (In a serious tone) The mines are no place for a pony, Kram. He'll have to go.
Kram Gamgee: (Patting the pony on the side, looking very upset) Bye, Bill. (Lets go of the pony, and it walks away from them slowly. As she watches him go, she speaks to Jimagorn) You think he'll be all right, Gazer?
Jimagorn: (Shrugging as he touches his chest) Who knows. I think he knows the way home-if not, we could always eat him.
(We now see Rippin Took and Jessie Brandybuck throwing stones in the murky pool in front of them. They both look furious as they throw)
Rippin Took: "Knock my head against the walls"? I'll knock his head against the walls!
Jessie Brandybuck: (Muttering) Make me look like an idiot! I'll-give him an-idiot! (Rippin Took stares at her, and so she speaks in a furious tone) Stupid Kendalf!
(As Jessie Brandybuck makes to throw another stone, Jimagorn comes from behind the hobbits and puts firm hands upon their shoulders to stop them)
Jimagorn: (Looking out towards the pool and speaking in a low and serious tone) Do not disturb the water.
(We see Kendalf finally throw down his staff in anger. Lizzo Baggins looks up in surprise)
Kendalf: (Angrily) Oh, it's hopeless! (Sits next to Lizzo Baggins on the rock)
Lizzo Baggins: (In an effort to help) Have you tried "Abra Kadabra"?
Kendalf: (Looks at Lizzo Baggins with an incredulous stare) Lizzo, I know all of the words in every tongue of Middle-Earth!
Lizzo Baggins: (Nodding and still looking at Kendalf calmly) Yes, but did you try, "Abra Kadabra"?
Kendalf: (Looks away as he mutters) Twice, and it didn't work.
(For a while, we just see Kendalf and Lizzo Baggins sitting on the rock. Kendalf has his hands over his eyes, very frustrated at this moment. But, Lizzo Baggins is still staring up at the wall, probably still thinking. Suddenly, Lizzo Baggins' face brightens as she stands up quickly and looks at the door. The camera shows her face work into a look of understanding)
Lizzo Baggins: It's a riddle! (To Kendalf) What's the Elvish word for "friend"?
(We suddenly see the murky pool ripple uncomfortably-almost as if it is a creature alive and having been disturbed. Rippin Took, Jessie Brandybuck, and Jimagorn quickly back away from the pool, and Jimagorn places his hand on his sword hilt. Then, we see Kendalf looking at Lizzo Baggins and then at the door)
Kendalf: (In a blank tone) Mellon.
(The doors suddenly swing outwards, and the company watches in astonishment. Once the doors have been opened, Lizzo Baggins grins at Kendalf, who is on his feet again and looking quite pleased)
Kendalf: (Putting a hand on Lizzo Baggins' shoulder) Well done, Lizzo Baggins. Unfortunately, I said the word, so-technically-I opened the doors. Let's move on, company!
Lizzo Baggins: (Face falls into an incredulous stare at Kendalf) WEAK! Really weak, Kendalf!
(The company moves into the mountain, which is quite dark despite the moonlight showing through the open doors. It is deadly silent, and we hear Brimli speaking in a rather smug tone as Kendalf leads the company into the mountain)
Brimli: (In a loud voice, so as not to be unheard) In just a few moments time, we will be in the palace of my cousin, Malin! (In a dreamy tone) Roaring fires! Sweet root beer! Ripe meat off the bone!
(We see Kendalf light the crystal on the end of his staff, and it emits a white light that goes over the area in front of the company. We see stairs going up, and many skeletons of Dwarves scattered about. But Brimli, who is still talking, does not notice)
Brimli: (In the same smug voice) This is the greatest land that was ever constructed by my people. And they call it a mine. (Laughing as she says it) A mine!
Mikomir: (Looking about with fear livid in his eyes) This is no mine-!
Brimli: (Nodding and sounding quite proud) I know! I've been trying to tell people-!
Mikomir: (In a frightened tone) This is no mine-this is a tomb! (We see the hobbits, all traveling close to one another, look down at their feet and scream as they see the decapitated skeleton of a Dwarf. The company is looking about cautiously, looking very crestfallen upon this route. Brimli is looking around at the dead Dwarves and sputtering incoherently, unaware of how to react)
Kram Gamgee: (Pointing to the ground at the dead Dwarf and shouting to Brimli) Brimli, is that your "ripe meat off the bone"? Because if it is, that's sick!
(Brimli, who has gone over to a pillar where the skeletal remains of an arrow infested Dwarf leans, lets out a howl of dismay. We suddenly see Megolas rip an arrow off a nearby dead Dwarf and examine the arrowhead. Her face suddenly scrunches up into a look of pure disgust)
Megolas: (To the company) Goblins!
(Megolas pulls out her bow and an arrow from her quiver and holds them ready. Jimagorn unsheathes his sword and is looking around nervously. Mikomir, who also has his sword unsheathed, is moving towards the door and looking about with severe fear upon his face)
Mikomir: (To the company as he eyes the scene around him) We make for the Gap of Rohan! We should have never come here!
(We see the hobbits, Lizzo Baggins in the back of them all, move immediately to the door, still eyeing the area in front of them. Suddenly, we see Lizzo Baggins fall to the ground with a scream. The hobbits immediately look behind them and start screaming. Lizzo Baggins is shouting and kicking as a huge tentacle grasps her ankle, and is trying to drag her into the murky pool. Rippin Took jumps into Jessie Brandybuck's arms, who looks very surprised and annoyed by her friends behavior to this. Only Kram Gamgee seems to keep her brains as she pulls out her sword and chops off the tentacle with two strikes. We see the remains of the tentacle pull back into the water. For a while, Lizzo Baggins breathes in and out with relief. Then, we see a huge creature, with tentacles almost like snakes, shoots out of the water spraying everything with filthy water. Lizzo Baggins lets out a horrifying scream as another tentacle grasps her by the ankle and quickly pulls her into the air. Kram Gamgee watches helplessly, swinging her sword around angrily at the tentacles that come towards her)
Kram Gamgee: (Shouting back towards the other company members) GAZER! HELP!
(Jimagorn comes running from the mountain, stroking himself in a dramatic way, his sword out and swinging towards the creature. Mikomir follows suit, looking both horrified and furious. Megolas runs out as well, her eyes searching for a good place to aim. We hear Lizzo Baggins screaming hysterically)
Megolas: (Finds a good place to shoot) DON'T WORRY GUYS! I'VE GOT IT COVERED! (Quickly places the arrow, aims, and shoots) (From above, we hear Lizzo Baggins shout out in pain)
Lizzo Baggins: (Pulling the arrow from her butt and shouting) YOU GUYS MIND NOT SHOOTING ME?
(We see Lizzo Baggins, hanging upside down and kicking, screaming as the massive jaws of the creature reveals itself from the water. The jaws are gaping and lined with rows of sharp teeth. It moves the screaming and kicking form of Lizzo Baggins over the jaw, hoping to drop her in and engulf the hobbit. Lizzo Baggins is screaming hysterically and looking quite fearful. Suddenly, we see Jimagorn plunge into the waters and cut a tentacle from its base with one swipe. The creature lets out a shriek of pain and drops the fear-stricken Lizzo Baggins into the waters below. But with one motion, Mikomir catches the screaming Lizzo Baggins. Immediately, Jimagorn looks towards the others)
Jimagorn: (Shouting as he runs from the creature) THE MOUNTAIN! GET INTO THE MOUNTAIN!
(Still carrying Lizzo Baggins, Mikomir runs into the mountain with the others. The creature follows Jimagorn, who still has his sword out. We follow the company into the dark recesses of the mountain. The creature tries to get through the doors, but it is too big. Instead, it uses the tentacles to swing about the mountain in hopes to pull something out. But this only causes stones from the ceiling to fall. In fear of being buried in rocks, the company speeds up. Finally, they stop; everybody looking as their only entrance-and their only way out-becomes buried behind a wall of rock. For a while, we only see the pitch darkness, and hear the sound of the company breathing from the run. Then, we hear Kendalf speak in a rather calm voice)
Kendalf: Then-we have but one choice. (He lights his staff, and a feeble white light illuminates the company) We must face the long dark-(Begins to head forward, still speaking as he goes) the crappy, dreary dark of Moria. And beware company-for fouler things than Orcs live in the deep. Oh yes- this is the perfect place for really disgusting, make-ya-wanna-vomit stuff.
(We watch the company follow Kendalf into the mountain, the only sound being the sound of their feet scraping against the stone flooring. Everybody looks around in wonderment as they go-probably questioning the prospect of ever getting out of here alive)
Jessie Brandybuck: (In a bitter tone to Rippin Took) Nice going, Rippin!
Rippin Took: (Angrily to Jessie Brandybuck) Hey! You were throwing stones too!
Jessie Brandybuck: (In a bitter tone) Never able to admit when you've done something wrong, are you, Rippin?
(We see the company traveling on the rocky path to the Walls of Moria. Even though no snow is present, it is rather damp and cold, so the hoods on the cloaks of the company are still drawn up. Kendalf leads the company, looking up at the rocky mountains around him)
Kendalf: (Leaning against a rock and shouting back) Lizzo! Lizzo, come and help an old man!
(Lizzo Baggins, who was traveling behind Megolas, runs up to Kendalf to help, and he pushes himself up)

Jessie Brandybuck: (In a bitter tone to Rippin Took) Nice going, Rippin!
Rippin Took: (Angrily to Jessie Brandybuck) Hey! You were throwing stones too!
Jessie Brandybuck: (In a bitter tone) Never able to admit when you've done something wrong, are you, Rippin?
