Scene 26

Minas Tirith

GANDALF: And now, by the power vested in me, I pronounce you, officially, king of this dump.

ARAGORN: Yay!! I mean, (coughs) yes, of course.

ARWEN: (entering) Aragorn, darling!

ARAGORN: Um…who are you?

ARWEN: (turning to GANDALF) He's such a kidder.

ARAGORN: No, seriously, woman, who are you?

ARWEN: I'm Arwen Undomiel. You know…your fiancée? Elrond's daughter?

ARAGORN: Oh. Right. You. (turning to LEGOLAS) Who is she?

GANDALF: Arwen Undomiel? You know…the hot elf chick from Rivendell?

ARAGORN: Oh! Right! Her! (laughs nervously) Um, Arwen…hi. Great to see ya.

ARWEN: Oh, Arry, it's been so long. But I've never stopped thinking about you. You promised me that we'd get married as soon as you became King of Gondor.

ARAGORN: (nervously) Did I now?

ELROND: (entering with a forbidding look on his face) Yes. You did.

ARAGORN: Oh. Hi, um…Arwen's father who…doesn't like me very much….

ELROND: Elrond.

ARAGORN: Right. Hiya.

ARWEN: (snuggles up to Aragorn) I love you.

ARAGORN: I love you too. (laughs nervously)

ELROND: (Looks at ARAGORN reaaaaaaaaalllly closely)

ARAGORN: (whimpers)
