SO HATH GREED INFILTRATED THE FELLOWSHIP

For a short time the Fellowship was desperately paddling upstream.

FELLOWSHIP: ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT! QUICKLY UP THE STREAM! MERRY SAYS MERRY SAYS MERRY SAYS MERRY SAYS:

MERRY (chanting): Oh-look-there's-a-dock-right-there-let's-try-and-float- our-RAFTABLES™-there-before-we-all-drown!

The Fellowship managed to dock their rafts, and unload. The Raftables™ promptly sank.

RANDOM MAN WITH BLACK LEDGER: Hey! It's a shilling to tie up your boats at the dock! And I'll need to know your names.

The Fellowship glanced at where the RAFTABLES™ were.

ARAGORN: What do you say to a packet of ketchup, and we forget the names? Hmm?

RANDOM MAN WITH BLACK LEDGER:: Okay. Yum.

(Random Man walks away with the ketchup and Black Ledger.)

SAM: So. We'll camp here, shall we?

ARAGORN: Right-o, little fat hobbit. What do you say to lunch?

HOBBITS: Swell!!!!

The Fellowship rummaged though their packs for ketchup and crackers.

BOROMIR: I'm out of those crackers.

LEGOLAS: Say. Me too.

ARAGORN: I could've sworn I had ten packages left in my pack...

Legolas, Aragorn and Boromir looked suspiciously at the hobbits and Gimli, who were merrily crunching crackers and green ketchup. And singing.

PIPPIN: Oh Shenandoah! I love your daughter! Away! You rolling river!

SAM & FRODO: Never made it as a wise man! Couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing! Tired of living like a blind man! Sick of sight without a sense of feeling!

MERRY: ...And this is how You remind me of what I really am!

GIMLI: Hi-ho! Hi-Ho! It's off to work we go!

Pippin noticed the "big people" staring at them with dismay.

BOROMIR: My crackers.

ARAGORN: My crackers.

LEGOLAS: MYYYY CRACKERS!!!!!

HOBBITS/GIMLI: AAAAAAAHH!!!

Fellowship free for all ensued. Legolas tackled Gimli. Boromir made the mistake of trying to catch both Merry and Pippin at once. Aragorn brought down Sam, but not before Sam passed his stolen crackers to Frodo. Merry and Pippin caught on, handed Frodo their crackers, and then tried to decoy Boromir while Frodo makes his escape. Gimli unwittingly traded Legolas for Sam, so then Aragorn and Legolas scuffled until they realized that their opponents were much taller than they should be. Boromir finally caught on to the Hobbits' scheme and went after Frodo while Merry and Pippin were left hiding in a hole with their packs
