Pippin: (picks up another rock and throws it in the lake)

Big, Scary Lake: more ripples

Gandalf: (to Pippin) Stop it! you stupid Hobbit, before I throw you in there!

Lavender: (to The 8th) Let's move closer to them and see if they are friendly or not.

The 8th: Okay.

Together: (creep closer)

Sam: (sobs) I'm gonna miss Bill…

Frodo: It's okay, Sam… (pats Sam on shoulder)

Big, Scary Lake: (waves lap against shore)

Aragorn: Gandalf, the lake doesn't look too happy…

The 8th: Hey, Lavender…I think we've come across The Company!

Lavender: (nearly faints)

Gandalf: "…speak, friend, and enter…speak, friend, and enter…" blast it all, I can't figure this out…

Boromir: (sniggers) I told you we shouldn't have gone by way of Moria.

Aragorn: (sigh) Boromir, now is not the time…

Boromir: (glares)

Merry: Wait, Gandalf, what's the Elvish word for "friend"?

Gandalf: Of course! All too simple really…

Company: WELL…?

Gandalf: All we have to do is say the Elvish word for "friend"!

Gimli: Well, let's get on with it! I do not wish to stand here all night!

Gandalf: Very well, very well… "Mellon"!

Magic Door: (opens)

Gandalf: Let's go!

Suddenly…a monster arises from the lake!

Big, Scary Monster: (grabs Frodo by the ankle)

Frodo: AHHHHHHH!

Sam: MR. FRODO! (slashes at monster with knife)

Lavender: (gasp) We have to help them!

The 8th: C'mon!

Together: (creep very fast over to Company)

Big, Scary Monster: (lets go of Frodo, but prepares for another attack)

Gandalf: (gets attention of rest of Company, who are rooted to the spot) Get inside here, you morons!

Rest of Company: (stampedes through door)

Frodo & Sam: (run towards door)

Gandalf: (makes for door)

Lavender & The 8th: (sprint towards door)

Big, Scary Monster: (attacks!)

Company: (makes it inside!)

Lavender & The 8th: (slip past monster and make it!)

Big, Scary Monster: (slams door shut)

Magic Door: (closes)

(darkness reigns)

Everyone: (breathes deep sighs of relief)

Legolas: (sniffs) This place smells unwholesome.

Gimli: You wanna start something, Elf boy?

Legolas: (ignores Gimli)

Pippin: (walks around) (steps on someone's foot)

Sam: OW! My foot! (hops up and down, holding foot)

Pippin: Sorry, Sam.

Sam: That's okay, Mr. Pippin. A Hobbit can't see properly in this place.

Frodo: It's too dark in here.

Merry: (chuckles) Thank you, Captain Obvious!

Frodo: What did you say, Merry?

Merry: (hurriedly) Nothing, nothing…

Legolas: (squints eyes, trying to see something) Alas! even I cannot see through this impenetrable darkness!

Gimli: Shut up, Legolas. You need to learn some manners.

Legolas: (taken aback) What?

Gimli: This is pretty much my realm, remember? I'm a Dwarf… these are Dwarf ruins… get my point? So stop bragging, or whatever it is you're doing.

Legolas: (pouts) But…but…

Gandalf: (to Legolas & Gimli) I don't have time for your petty arguing. If you two want to be girls, than you can go back outside.

Legolas & Gimli: (pouts) But…but…

Rest of Company: JUST SHUT UP!

Aragorn: Gandalf, turn on a light, please.

Gandalf: That would help… (lights up his magic walking-stick) Come, Gimli. You need to help me lead this fine company through these mines.

Gimli: (smirks at Legolas) All right, Gandalf.

Legolas: (glares)

Company: (starts walking)

Lavender: We have to follow them, The 8th. (looks around and can't see The 8th) The 8th? Where are you?

The 8th: (already started walking behind Company) C'mon, you slacker!

Lavender: (catches up with The 8th)

Together: (stalks Company)
