[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)
[MINAS TIRITH - DAWN - OUTSIDE]
(GANDALF and PIPPIN approach the city on SHADOWFAX)
GANDALF
Here we are, Pippin, Minas Tirith.
PIPPIN
So we're safe then?
GANDALF
Hardly! Any day now Sauron's forces will come swarming over the river.
PIPPIN
And the dangerous part is...?
GANDALF
(to himself) Why didn't I send someone else to take him?
PIPPIN
By the way, why *aren't* you dead?
[DUNHARROW - VERY CLOUDY DAY - INSIDE]
MERRY
Everyone left without me. I feel so useless.
THEODEN
You *are* a clever little thing! How would you like to be a Rider of Rohan?
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 )
