Scene 19
In a bedroom overlooking the city.
GANDALF: You just had to talk, didn't you?
PIPPIN: I didn't know I was signing up for soldier duty! I thought it was muffin duty!
GANDALF: Just. Kill. Me. Now.
PIPPIN:So, this Denny guy…he wants me to…fight?
GANDALF: Yep.
PIPPIN: But I can't fight!
GANDALF: You should have thought of that before you talked, then.
PIPPIN: Grrr.
GANDALF: Sauron is gathering his forces in the East. It won't be too long now.
PIPPIN: Gandalf?
GANDALF: Yes?
PIPPIN: I want my mommy.
GANDALF: (takes PIPPIN in his arms and hugs him) I know. So do I, Pippin. So do I. Now go back to bed. You'll need your rest before the end. (PIPPIN moves towards the bed, but trips, knocking over the lantern on the window. It falls. You hear a clunk and the sound of fire coming from below.) PEREGRIN TOOK!!!
