A short edit of “The Shire”. I realized I forget to include Gandalf’s song as he’s riding into Hobbiton:
(Frodo is sitting in a field “reading” a “book” – yeah, right – when he hears Gandalf coming up the road and runs out to meet him)
Gandalf: (singing to himself) I’m too sexy for my robe, too sexy for my hat, too sexy for the Maiar. I’m too sexy for these hobbits, too sexy for the Shire…
Frodo: (interrupting him) You’re late, dude.
And so…
And now, part 5 of the Dudeship of the Rings:
Gilraen’s Memorial
Elrond: Anirne hene beriad i chên în. Ned Imladris nauthant e le beriathar aen. (Dude, your mom would be, like, so sick of your moping around.)
But in her heart, she always knew you were a major wuss. I mean, really, you’re supposed to be the king, bro.
Aragorn: Shut up, man. You have no idea what it’s like for me, kay? It’s sooo hard, man.
Elrond: Dude, like, I’m practically your surrogate father, bro.
Aragorn: No! Don’t say that! Cuz that would mean Arwen’s like my sister and that’d be way gross, man.
Elrond: Huh, you know, I never thought of it that way. That is gross. I just totally changed my mind, bro. No way you’re marrying Arwen.
Aragorn: Dude! That’s sooooooo not fair! (throws a hissy fit)
Elrond: Unless…
Aragorn: (getting exicted) Unless what?… Unless what? Tell me, tell me!
Elrond: Naw, forget it dude. You’d never be able to pull it off.
Aragorn: Don’t diss me, dude. I can do it. Come on, man, tell me.
Elrond: Well, if you insist… (pauses, waits till Aragorn’s about to whiz himself in anticipation) You have to reclaim the throne of Gondor and reunite the kingdoms of Gondor and Arnor.
Aragorn: Dude! No way!
Elrond: You want to marry Arwen or not?
Aragorn: Oh, alright. Dammit. So much for my summer vacation in the Bahamas. Dude, this so blows.
Elrond: (laughing to himself as Aragorn walks away) Dude, I’m so brilliant, I sometimes even amaze myself. Sayonara sucker.
Bilbo’s Gifts
(Frodo and Bilbo are in Bilbo’s room. Bilbo is giving Frodo a bunch of stuff.)
Bilbo: This is a way wicked sword, man. It even glows blue when orcs are comin’.
Frodo: Awesome!
Bilbo: And this is, like, the most bitchinest mithril shirt EVER!
Frodo: Tubular! (takes shirt)
Bilbo: Let me see it on you. Put it on, man.
Frodo: Kay.
(Frodo starts unbuttoning shirt. You can see the ring hanging from a chain around his neck.)
Bilbo: Ah, dude, my old ring. It’s so pretty! Can I touch it? One last time?
Frodo: (buttoning shirt up again) Dude, you’re like, drooling man. That’s so gross.
(Suddenly, Bilbo does a freak out and it’s way scary.)
Frodo: HOLY SH**! DUDE! (jumps away)
Bilbo: Whoa, what happened there? Talk about a head rush. Weird.
Frodo: Yeah, sure, whatever dude. Um, like, I think I’ll just grab my stuff and split. Later dude.
The Departure of the Fellowship
(Everyone’s just standing around, not doing much of anything. Elrond finally shows up.)
Elrond: The Ring Dude is going to go to Mt. Dude Doom. Those of you who choose to go with him, if you, like, decide to wuss out and leave the party early, hey, no shame on you, man. We won’t hold it against ya – much. Catch you later, dudes. Hang ten! Don’t wipe out!
Gandalf: The Dudeship awaits the Ring Dude.
(Frodo heads out and everyone fall in behind him.)
Frodo: Psst, old whiz dude. Like, which way to Mordor, bro?
Gandalf: Right. No wait – left. No….yeah. Uh, yeah.
Frodo: Um, which way was that again?
Gandalf: Left.
Frodo: You sure?
Gandalf: Yeah.
Frodo: Ok, but if we get lost, it’s your fault.
The Ring Goes South
(A bunch of really massively impressive travel shots. Everyone gets their Glamour Shots close-up as they go over a mountain pass, even Bill.)
Gandalf: (voice over) So we’ll, like, go this way for a little while, and then turn left at the Gap of Rohan. No wait… turn right. Right? Yeah, right.
(They set up camp around a bunch of weird rocks. A big wide open field as far as the eye can see and these are the ONLY rocks around.)
Boromir: (teaching Merry and Pippin to sword fight) 2, 1, 5.
Pippin: Dude, like, where’d you learn to count? It goes one, FIVE, two.
Merry: You can be such a retard sometimes, bro.
(Over on another rock. Geez, there’s a LOT of rocks around here.)
Gimli: Dude, it’s just come to my attention that we’re taking the Big Ass Long Way. Why don’t we just go through mines, man?
Gandalf: Yeah, like that’s gonna happen.
(Back at Boromir, Merry and Pippin. They’re wrestling on the ground now. Boromir’s getting the pants beat off of him.)
Pippin: For the Shire-hood!
Aragorn: Dude, Boromir, that’s like almost as bad as getting beat up by a girl, man.
Merry: Who you callin’ a girl, dude?
(They knock him down and start whooping his ass.)
Merry: Who’s the girl now?!
(Over on yet another rock.)
Legolas: Dudes – Crebain from the Dark Dude-Lands.
Aragorn: Like, hide dudes! Quick!
(They all run and hide under the rocks. Gee, good thing they decided to camp here and not somewhere else, huh? Anyways, the crebain fly over and leave.)
Gandalf: Stupid birds. They’re always pooping on my hat. There’s only one way to get away from them: the pass of Caradhras.
(They all look over to some mountains completely covered in snow.)
Pippin and Merry: Screw that!
Boromir: Ha! Who’s the girl now? ‘Fraid of a little snow, little dudes?
Pippin: Shut up, dude.
The Pass of Caradhras
(The Dudeship walk up the snow covered mountain side. Frodo trips over his enormous feet – again – and the ring slips away from him – again. Only this time, it falls on the snow. Boromir picks it up.)
Boromir: I’ve got you, my pretty!
Aragorn: Dude, what are you, like, gay or something? Dudes don’t quote from the Wizard of Oz, man.
Boromir: Huh? Oh, yeah, right. Whatever dude.
Aragorn: Yeah, whatever. So, like, give the ring back to Frodo, kay?
(Boromir hesitates.)
Aragorn: Like, hello! Are you deaf suddenly? Give Frodo the ring!
Boromir: Yeah, whatever. Like I really want a girlie-lookin’ ring, anyway. Yeah, as if.
(Give the ring to Frodo.)
(Later on, it’s snowing majorly.)
Legolas: Ha ha! I can walk on snow! I so rule.
Boromir: Show off.
Pippin: (to Merry) Dude, like, my ass feels like ice, bro.
Merry: If I get frostbite, I’m so gonna ream Gandalf’s ass.
Bill the Pony: Neigh! I hate these people.
Legolas: There’s a narly voice surfing the airwaves.
Saruman: (voice only) Cuiva nwalca Carnirassë! Nai yarvaxëa rasselya taltuva ñotto-carinnar! (Wake up, Caradhras. You, like, got trespassers, man.)
Gandalf: It’s Saruman!
Boromir: I have a really bad feeling about this, dude.
(Some rocks fall and almost hit them.)
Aragorn: Dude, so rude!
Gandalf: Totally. Wait! I know something that might work to soothe this savage beast. (gets up on snow) Losto Caradhras, sedho, hodo, nuitho i 'ruith! (Hush, little mountain, don’t hear a word of the stupid ugly wizard of Isengard.)
(Mountain grumbles and an avalanche topple over them. Now, under real life circumstances, they’d be totally dead, right? But since they’re the heroes, they all magically survive.)
Gandalf: Nope, that didn’t work.
Legolas: Bogus. Now my hair’s all messed up. Dude!
Boromir: I’m so totally sick of this mountain, man. Let’s go through the Gap of Rohan already.
Sam: There’s a Gap in Rohan? Cuz I so need new capris, man.
Boromir: No, dude. This is a different kind of Gap.
Aragorn: Dude, we can’t go that way – Isengard. Hello!
Gimli: Are you dudes mental? How many times I gotta say it – let’s go through the mines!
Gandalf: Let the Ring Dude decide.
Frodo: The mines, totally. I sooo need to thaw out, bro. My dick is as stiff as an icicle.
Boromir: Um, did anyone else just go to a scary visual place?
Aragorn: Whoa, that was like waaaaay too much information, little dude.
