The New Hobbit Hole

Posted on 03/14/2002 5:07:26 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The New Hobbit Hole

Concerning Hobbits

The New Hobbit Chronicles

This is a continuation of the infamous thread New Zealander Builds Hobbit Hole originally posted on January 26, 2001 by John Farson, who at the time undoubtedly thought he had found a rather obscure article that would elicit a few replies and die out. Without knowing it, he became the founder of the Hobbit Hole. For reasons incomprehensible to some, the thread grew to over 4100 replies. It became the place for hobbits and friends of hobbits to chit chat and share LoTR news and views, hang out, and talk amongst ourselves in the comfort of familiar surroundings.

In keeping with the new posting guidelines, the thread idea is continuing here, as will the Green Dragon Inn, our more structured spin-off thread, as soon as we figure out how to move all the good discussion that has been had there. As for the Hobbit Hole, we will just start fresh, bringing only a few mathoms such as the picture above with us to make it feel like home, and perhaps a walk down memory lane:

Our discussion has been light:

It very well may be that a thread named "New Zealander builds Hobbit hole" will end up being the longest Tolkien thread of them all, with some of the best heartfelt content... Sorry John, but I would have rather it had been one with a more distinguished title!… post 252 - HairOfTheDog

However, I can still celebrate, with quiet dignity, the fact that what started as a laugh about some wacko in New Zealand has mutated and grown into a multifaceted discussion of the art, literature, and philosophy that is Tolkien. And now that I've managed to write the most pompous sentence of my entire life, I agree, Rosie… post 506 - JenB

Hah! I was number 1000!! (Elvish victory dance... wait, no; that would be too flitty) … post 1001 - BibChr

Real men don't have to be afraid of being flitty! Go for it. – post 1011 – HairOfTheDog

Seventeen years to research one mystical object seems a bit excessive… post 1007 - JenB

Okay...who's the wise guy who didn't renew Gandalf's research grant?… post 1024 – Overtaxed

To the very philosophical:

…Judas Iscariot obviously was a good man, or he wouldn't have been chosen to be one of the Apostles. He loved Jesus, like all of the Apostles, but he betrayed him. Yet without his betrayal, the Passion and Crucifixion would never have occurred, and mankind would not have been redeemed. So without his self-destruction infinite good would not have been accomplished. I certainly do not mean this to be irreverant but it seems to me that this describes the character of Gollum, in the scenes so movingly portrayed above… Lucius Cornelius Sulla

To fun but heartfelt debates about the integrity and worth of some of the characters…

…Anyone else notice how Boromir treats the hobbits? He's very fond of them but he seems to think of them as children - ruffling Frodo's hair, calls them all 'little ones'. He likes them, but I don't think he really respects them… post 1536 - JenB

Yes... Tolkien told us not to trust Boromir right off the bat when he began to laugh at Bilbo, until he realized that the Council obviously held this hobbit in high esteem. What a pompous dolt… post 1538 - HairOfTheDog

…I think almost every fault of his can be traced directly back to his blindness to anything spiritual or unseen. He considers the halflings as children, because that is what they look like. He considers the only hope of the ring to be in taking it and using it for a victory in the physical realm. He cannot see what the hobbits are truly made of, he cannot see the unseen hope of what the destruction of the ring might mean--the destruction of Sauron himself, and he cannot see the unseen danger that lies in the use of the ring itself… I just feel sorry for Boromir--he is like a blind but honorable man, trying to take the right path on the road but missing the right path entirely because he simply cannot see it… post 1548 - Penny1

Boromir isn't a jerk, he's a jock… post 2401 – Overtaxed

-----------------------------------------

Oh, I think by the time Frodo reaches the Cracks, he's not even himself anymore! I think he's not only on the brink of a dangerous place physically, he's on the brink of losing himself completely during the exchange with Gollum. But for some reason, the take-over isn't complete till he actually has to throw the Ring in. The person speaking to Gollum is not Frodo, but the "Wheel of Fire" that Sam sees. After the Ring is destroyed, Frodo not only comes back to himself, but comes back with the unbearable (to him) knowledge of what it's like to be completely without compassion. I think that's why it's so important to him to be compassionate in the Shire… post 2506 - 2Jedismom

…Regarding Frodo's compassion... it's a little too much at the end. Even Merry tells him that he's going to have to quit being so darn nice. But you're right. He's learned a lesson about evil that very few ever learn since it wasn't an external lesson but an internal one. (Those kinds of lessons have the greatest impact) Not only did he totally succumb to it, but he was rather ruthless to my little Smeagol… post 2516 - carton253

Well that Frodo was a big mean bully! (to Smeagol)… post 2519 – Overtaxed

So as you can see, everything JRR Tolkien (and Peter Jackson) is welcome here in our New Row, our soon-to-be familiar New Hobbit Hole…; philosophy, opinion, good talk and frequent silliness.

We're on the trail!

Er, yes. That's *really* interesting, mr. tree.

Crud, there's more of them coming.

ENTS

Hooooooooooooooooooom halala tralalaboomtië boomburumba hoooom...

(MERRY and PIPPIN begin to weep)

[PLAINS OF ROHAN - DAY - OUTSIDE]

(ARAGORN, LEGOLAS and GIMLI are still running. GIMLI is comically out of breath. EOMER and company ride upon them)

EOMER

Ho there! You're not with Saruman are you? Or even worse, that witch Galadriel?

GIMLI

Witch? Why I oughta...

ARAGORN

Calm down, Gimli. (to EOMER) We're hunting orc!

EOMER

Really? Me too! Just caught some a ways back.

ARAGORN

Did you happen to see any halflings with them?

EOMER

Nah, we just killed everything and burned the bodies. Not much time for looking.

ARAGORN

Thanks... that's very... reassuring.

EOMER

No problem. Hey, you guys want some horses? I'm already in deep with the king, so I figure what the hey.

ARAGORN

Thanks!

[DEAD MARSHES - NIGHT - OUTSIDE]

FRODO

Gollum, I see dead people.

GOLLUM

Calls us Smeagol, dammit.

SAM

Please, Frodo, let me kill him.

[FANGORN FOREST - NIGHT - OUTSIDE]

GIMLI

Look, it's Saruman!

ARAGORN

Run away!

GANDALF

No, you idiots, it's me, Gandalf!

LEGOLAS

I see you've done your laundry.

ARAGORN

You're alive! But how?

GANDALF

We fell for ages it seemed, plummeting through the inky darkness...

GIMLI

(rolls eyes) Here we go...

ARAGORN

Oh, hey, we've got to get these horses back to Theoden.

GANDALF

Theoden! I need to speak with him. I'll come with you and tell you on the way.

ARAGORN

Oh great. I mean, great!

[EDORAS - DAY - INSIDE]

GRIMA

(whining) Sire, don't listen to Gandalf. He's a big liar.

GANDALF

Nay Theoden-king, I beseech you, heed no more the venom of this worm's tongue!

THEODEN

I don't know who to believe anymore! Well, since I have no idea what Gandalf said, I guess I'll take his advice.

GANDALF

You heard him, hit the road ya bum.

THEODEN

Oh, so THAT's what you meant.

GRIMA

Sire!

THEODEN

Nope, sorry. My mind's been made up for me. Now scram before someone else changes it.

GRIMA

(leaving) You haven't seen the last of me, old man!

THEODEN

Well, I suppose I'll let Eomer go as well. And maybe I'll make him my heir while I'm at it... Anyway, let's all go hunt some orc!

(the ROHIRRIM cheer)

EOWYN

I wanna come too!

(everyone but EOWYN laughs)

ARAGORN

Cheer up, little lady.

EOWYN

I love you.

ARAGORN

Oh! Uh, I'm sorry. I'm already spoken for...

(he indicates the Ring of Barahir as a wedding band)

EOWYN

Everything makes me sad.

[ENTMOOT - DAY - OUTSIDE]

TREEBEARD

Wake up young hobbits! The ents have decided to march on Isengard! It's payback time...

PIPPIN

Where's Isengard?

MERRY

It's where Saruman lives, you tuber.

PIPPIN

Who- (realization dawns) Oh, I'm sorry mr. tree, we have a very important... party... to attend...

MERRY

It's not going to work, Pip.

[HELM'S DEEP - NIGHT - OUTSIDE]

(LEGOLAS and GIMLI are on the parapet of the wall killing orcs)

LEGOLAS

Thirty eight!

GIMLI

Thirty seven!

ARAGORN

Hey guys, do you really think keeping track of your body counts is an appropriate message to send to the kids?

(LEGOLAS and GIMLI stare at each other momentarily)

GIMLI

Thirty eight! Now we are tied!

LEGOLAS

Thirty nine! I'm better than you!

HAMA

The orcs have breached the wall! I die...

ARAGORN

Everyone hide!

[HELM'S DEEP - DAWN - INSIDE]

THEODEN

I'm tired of waiting! I will not sit here like a badger in a... thing you put badgers in! I'm going out there!

ARAGORN

Aw jeez. Come on people, I guess we have to go with him.

THEODEN

See! The orcs run! Into that forest that wasn't there yesterday...

ARAGORN

The trees appear to be eating the orcs.

LEGOLAS

And what a strange and gruesome picture it is.

GIMLI

It certainly gives one an appetite.

(everyone stares at GIMLI)

[ISENGARD - DAY - OUTSIDE]

(MERRY and PIPPIN are dancing. bouncing chaotically is more like it)

MERRY and PIPPIN

(singing) The faggots are reeking! Hurrah! Hurrah!

(GANDALF, THEODEN, ARAGORN, LEGOLAS, GIMLI, EOMER and several ROHIRRIM ride up)

GANDALF

What are you two doing?

PIPPIN

(grinning broadly) We have no idea.

GANDALF

(surveying the damage) I see. And what has happened here?

MERRY

The trees! The big scary trees! They came to life, er, no, they were alive, and they still are, but they came here, and they brought us with them, and then they tore everything to pieces. You don't want to make the trees mad, oh no. The eyes, the eyes...

GANDALF

I know that smell, Meriadoc.

MERRY

Huh? Oh, yeah. It seems Saruman had a private stash, ya know? Want some?

GANDALF

Perhaps later. For the moment, I have a pressing engagement with Saruman. Come!

PIPPIN

(watching the riders leave) Whatever. Hey, didn't he die?

MERRY

Come on. We'd better follow them so you can pick up the palantir.

[ORTHANC - DAY - OUTSIDE - FLOODED]

(SARUMAN appears on the balcony)

SARUMAN

Get off of my property, you damn kids! Look what you've done to my lawn!

GANDALF

Saruman! I strip you of your rank as head of the Order! I am now the White!

SARUMAN

Oh yeah smart*ss? I'd like to see you-

GRIMA

(from inside) I... can't... take it anymore!

(he pushes SARUMAN off of the balcony, impaling him on the RSWD)

(SARUMAN'S palantir rolls out of his hand to PIPPIN'S feet, who picks it up)

PIPPIN

Ooo... pretty!

GANDALF

Give me that you insufferable dolt!

PIPPIN

How come you didn't stay dead?

GANDALF

Come! We return to Rohan!

GIMLI

Back and forth, back and forth. All this riding is not good for a dwarf's hemorrhoids.

LEGOLAS

You sit behind me this time, Gimli.

PIPPIN

No really, I want to know. Why isn't he still dead?

SAM

Please Frodo, let me kill that Smeagol.

GOLLUM

Calls us Gol- hrrr... Cruel tricksy masters... Fisssh... nice fisssh...

[CAMPSITE ON PLAINS OF ROHAN - NIGHT - OUTSIDE]

PIPPIN

I'm stealing that palantir.

MERRY

Are you actually growing more stupid as time passes? Do whatever you want, just leave me out of it. I'm going to bed.

(PIPPIN tickles the sleeping GANDALF'S nose with a feather. GANDALF swats his nose in his sleep and PIPPIN replaces the palantir with a rock. PIPPIN runs a safe distance away then looks deeply into the seeing stone)

EYE OF SAURON

EYE SEE YOU! YOU CANNOT HIDE!

PIPPIN

Yoink!

(PIPPIN drops the stone then falls stiffly backwards, comatose)

MERRY

Pippin! Pippin! Are you all right?

(GANDALF approaches, smirking)

GANDALF

What a simpleton. Well, I suppose I had better see that this does not happen again.

(ARAGORN approaches)

ARAGORN

What happened? I heard a shriek!

GANDALF

(hands the palantir to ARAGORN)

Here, you keep this. I'm going to take this delinquent to Minas Tirith.

ARAGORN

Wonderful! Can I help you pack?

(ARWEN rides up with several ELVES)

ARWEN

Hi sweetie! Ohmigod, dad totally flipped when I told him I was giving up my immortality for you. He said the only way he'd allow that was if you were the king of Gondor. I don't think he was really serious, but I took him up on it and had Narsil reforged for you so you could go reclaim the throne. You WILL be king for me, right sweetie?

ARAGORN

(trying to smile) Oh, uh, yeah, great.

ARWEN

And I'm also supposed to "remind" you about the Paths of the Dead.

(ARAGORN visibly sags)

ARAGORN

I have to do THAT, too?

ARWEN

Well of course, silly! How else are you going to be king? Here's your sword and a nice banner I sewed for you all by myself which I'm sure will be very special to you and dear to your heart always.

ARAGORN

Well, in the tradition of things having far too many names, I rename this sword Anduril. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go lie down and try not to kill myself.

SAM

Why do you always have to be so weird? Be a dear and go find us some food, why don't you?

GOLLUM

(hisses violently)

Oh, yes my preciousss, yesss... we goes... we goes...

(crawls away muttering and snickering to himself, casting suspicious glances over his shoulder)

SAM

Crazy bugger. Don't know why we have to bring him along. (mocking) "Wanna come with us? I've got the ring."

(he continues to mutter to himself as several menacing figures emerge from the gloom)

SAM

Uh oh. Wake up, Frodo! We've got visitors.

FARAMIR

Ho there you silly little men! What are you doing in my forest?

FRODO

We, uh, we were... gathering herbs, right Sam?

SAM

Oh, yes, Ithilien's the only place to go this time of year for mugwump and, er, grickleberry.

FARAMIR

You boys had better come with me. Men, blindfold them!

[DUNHARROW - EARLY MORNING - INSIDE]

ARAGORN

Oh, this is so stupid.

(he looks into the palantir)

EYE OF SAURON

EYE SEE YOU! YOU CANNOT HIDE!

ARAGORN

Er, hello, yes. Just to let you know, I'm reclaiming the throne of Gondor, and I'm going to come kick-

(SAURON begins to chuckle)

ARAGORN

Hey, I'm not kidding! I've got the blade that cut off your finger here. They fixed it for me.

(SAURON begins laughing outright)

ARAGORN

Fine, then. I'm out of here. You'd just better watch your back, is all I'm saying.

SAURON

WAIT! DON'T GO! TELL ME MORE! OHO! OHO! THIS IS PRICELESS!

(ARAGORN puts the palantir down)

LEGOLAS

So how did it go?

ARAGORN

Oh. It went well. He's really shaking. Well, it's time to ride the Paths of the Dead.

GIMLI

And those would be exactly...

ARAGORN

A tunnel through the mountain, inhabited by the ghosts of a long dead army. No living thing has ever returned from those caves once the spirits moved in.

GIMLI

Then why would we go there? And how do you know what's there if no one's ever come back?

ARAGORN

Well, technically, that army owes my family a favor. I'm going to collect on that debt.

GIMLI

And are ghosts known for their good credit?

ARAGORN

Stop asking so many questions. You're giving me a headache. Let's go.

[HENNETH ANNUN - DAY - INSIDE]

FARAMIR

So you see! Even if your lies had not been so transparent I still would easily have been able to deduce that you had been traveling with my brother, Boromir

(FRODO begins to look apprehensive)

and that you carry the One Ring

(FRODO is getting panicky and steps backward)

and that my brother, sadly, is dead.

(FRODO stops, stunned)

FRODO

Dead?

FARAMIR

Yes, didn't you know? No matter, you need not fear that I shall try to take the ring as he did.

FRODO

How the hell do you know all of this?

FARAMIR

(taps his finger on the side of his nose)

I read the script. Well, I don't see any reason to keep you here any longer. You can go on your way. Oh, and take your slimy little friend with you, he's fouling up our pool.

SAM

I haven't been near your pool!

FRODO

He means Gollum, Sam.

[PATHS OF THE DEAD - SPOOKY - INSIDE]

GIMLI

Aragorn, how much further do you suppose it is to the exit? I do not like this place...

LEGOLAS

Ha! Who'd have thought it? A dwarf frightened of a cave!

GIMLI

If I weren't scared pantless right now I'd make you eat those words...

(a ghostly form looms out of the gloom near LEGOLAS)

LEGOLAS

Boo!

(the ghost drifts away. LEGOLAS laughs heartily)

LEGOLAS

(to GIMLI) Chicken.

ARAGORN

You can relax, Gimli. The exit is just ahead.

(the company exits into the night followed by a silent spectral army)

So we're safe then?

GANDALF

Hardly! Any day now Sauron's forces will come swarming over the river.

And the dangerous part is...?

GANDALF

By the way, why *aren't* you dead?

Everyone left without me. I feel so useless.

MERRY

Are meals included?

THEODEN

But of course!

MERRY

All right, I'm in.

THEODEN

Prepare yourselves men, for tomorrow we ride to war!

MERRY

Oh that's right, there's fighting involved. Well, one can always hope for a quick death.

EOWYN

(to MERRY) psst. How do you like my clever disguise?

MERRY

You do have some issues, don't you.

[MORGUL VALE - CLOUDY NIGHT - OUTSIDE]

FRODO

Boy, look at the size of that army leaving Minas Morgul. I'd sure hate to be on the receiving end of that.

SAM

And I don't like the look of those clouds that have been pouring over the mountains these last few days.

FRODO

Still, we must go on. Where did you say this secret entrance was, Gollum?

GOLLUM

Calls- never minds. Rights here its is. In this pitch black webs covered hole. But nice masters musn't worry, no, nothing inside.

FRODO

Right then. Come along Sam. Are you coming Gollum?

GOLLUM

Nooo... we'll just waits outside and picks our precious off of your corpses later. mmm... Tasty corpseses...

FRODO

Very well. Goodbye then Gollum. You've been a great help.

[SHELOB'S LAIR - PERPETUAL DARKNESS - INSIDE]

SAM

Sure is dark in here. Wish we had some light.

GALADRIEL (V.O.)

Let it be a light for you in dark places.

FRODO

Of course.

(FRODO brings out the phial, which begins to glow)

SAM

A phial. What makes it glow so?

FRODO

Earendil.

SAM

If you say so.

(FRODO and SAM continue down the tunnel. In the shadows behind them we see SHELOB )

THE END
