Thanks, Jeanster.
I’m glad you like it. I’m really enjoying writing it, but do me a fave. Next time I decide to parody the entire movie - slap me silly.
That said…
Farewell to Lorien
(Next morning. Dudeship is preparing to leave.)
Legolas: Woo-hoo! My lembas commercial! (straightens hair and clothes, holds up lembas and showcases it in classic spokes model fashion) ‘Lembas: one small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a full-grown man. Look for it in grocer’s Health Food aisle.’ (phony spoke model smile)
Stand-by Elf: (looking through camera lens) Aaannnnddd…. Cut! Perfect! You were awesome, bro!
Legolas: I know.
Pippin: You so rule, dude! Can I have your autograph?
Legolas: Anything for my adoring fans, bro.
Merry: Me too! Sign mine too!
(Small crowd gathers around Legolas, who’s totally soaking it up.)
(Elsewhere….)
Celeborn: The Lady Dude has granted me another speaking part to tell you that you’re being followed by some really gross-looking super orcs that like to party during daytime and want to whoop your butts majorly.
Aragorn: Good to know you’re the one wearing the pants around here, bro.
Celeborn: Not funny, dude. I’m soooo not gonna give you your knife no more.
Aragorn: Ahh, come on dude. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. You totally rule over this elven realm.
Celeborn: Le aphadar aen. Don’t patronize, dude. That just hurts.
Here, take your stupid knife.
Aragorn: (taking knife) Awesome!
(Little while later, the Dudeship’s all lined up to receive their gifts.)
Boromir: Woo-hoo, presents!
Celeborn: Sorry, bro, but seeing as you die in a couple more scenes, we decided a gift would be wasted on you.
Boromir: Bogus! Do I at least get a cloak?
Celeborn: No.
Boromir: Aw, come on! How can you be so harsh, man? I’m about to die. I should at least get a cloak. Give a guy a fighting chance, for sure!
Celeborn: Ok, ok, fine, you get a cloak.
Boromir: Go me!
Galadriel: Alright, Hubby, you’ve played enough for today. Now go home, kay?
Celeborn: (going away, muttering) Miss High and Mighty, stupid little biatch.
Galadriel: What?
Celeborn: (fake smile) Love ya! Kisses! (leaves)
(Galadriel turns to the Dudeship and gives everyone, except Boromir, presents.)
Galadriel: For you, totally righteous elf-dude, is a bow of the Galadhrim, cuz, well, duh. And for you, little back-up hobbit dudes, I give to you the daggers of Noldorin. But remember, it’s all fun and games till someone looses an eye. For you, faithful servant hobbit dude, I give you rope, made of hithlain. Use your imagination with that. And you dwarf-dude, what gift would you ask of the elves?
Gimli: Ditch your Hubby and ride away with me into the sunset.
Galadriel: You know what, I soooo don’t see that happening, bro. How ‘bout I just give you a couple of my hairs, kay?
Gimli: Ooohhh! Hair! Only the most excellent musical ever! (starts singing)
When the moon is in the Seventh House
and Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
Rest of the Dudeship and some background elves join in:
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
Aquarius! Aquarius!
Galadriel: (wiping away tear) Dudes, that was totally righteous.
Gimli: Now will you come away with me?
Galadriel: Ahh, no.
Boromir: Denied!
Gimli: Shut up, soon-to-be-dead dude!
Boromir: You know what, that was just mean, bro.
Galadriel: Continuing on….
(Galadriel and Aragorn are standing off to themselves.)
Galadriel: I soooo can’t outdo Arwen’s gift. No way I’m shagging you senseless dude.
Am meleth dîn. I ant e guil Arwen Undómiel pelitha. And just cuz Arwen’s all head-over-heels in love with you, doesn’t mean you can take advantage, bro.
Aragorn: Aníron i e broniatha ar i periatham natha methed ned amar hen. Aníron e ciratha na Valannor. Yeah, I know.
Galadriel: Just so we got that all cleared up.
Aragorn: Completely.
Galadriel: Good. Namárië Sayonara, dude. Nadath nâ i moe cerich. Dan, ú-'eveditham, Elessar Oh, and if you break her heart, I’ll have to kill you.
(Galadriel and Frodo are standing off to themselves.)
Galadriel: For you, Ring Dude, I give to you the Most Awesome Light of Eärendil, our most righteous star. Break the glass, and you’ll owe me more money than that mithril shirt of yours is worth. Got it?
Frodo: Got it, Lady Dude!
(Dudeship gets into their boats and shove off.)
The Great River
Day One:
Pippin: Ok, we go first, then Aragorn’s boat, then Legolas’ boat, kay? Ready?
Everyone: Kay!
Pippin/Merry/Boromir: Row, row, row your boat…
Pippin/Merry/Boromir: Gently down the stream…
Frodo/Sam/Aragorn: Row, row, row your boat …
Pippin/Merry/Boromir: Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily…
Frodo/Sam/Aragorn: Gently down the stream…
Legolas/Gimli: Row, row, row your boat…
Pippin/Merry/Boromir: Life is but a dream.
Frodo/Sam/Aragorn: Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily …
Legolas/Gimli: Gently down the stream…
Frodo/Sam/Aragorn: Life is but a dream.
Legolas/Gimli: Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily…
Legolas/Gimli: Life is but a dream.
Aragorn: Ok, that was way lame, and I’m still bored.
Boromir: Hey, why don’t you little dudes row for awhile?
Merry: Dude, just cuz you’re about to croak, doesn’t mean you can slack off, bro.
Boromir: Bummer.
Day three:
Morning:
Pippin:
10,000 bottles of beer on the wall
10,000 bottles of beer
Take one down, pass it around
9,999 bottles of beer on the wall
9,999 bottles of beer on the wall…
Afternoon:
Pippin:
5,378 bottles of beer on the wall
5,378 bottles of beer
Take one down, pass it around

5,377 bottles of beer on the wall…
Evening:
Pippin:
1,129 bottles of beer on the wall
1,129 bottles of beer
Take one down, pass it around
1,129 bottles of beer on the wall
Boromir: Please make him stop. I think the vein in my forehead just popped, man.
Merry: (looking closely) Nope, sorry, it’s still twitching away. You’re gonna have to take it a little while longer, bro.
Boromir: Bummer.
Pippin: Great, now you made me loose count. So rude. Now I gotta start all over again.
10,000 bottles of beer on the wall
10,000 bottles of beer
Everyone: NO! STOP!
Sam: For the love of all that is righteous and awesome, stop, Pippin, I’m beggin ya!
Pippin: You dudes are no fun. (pouts)
Day Five:
Evening:
(Boromir spies something in the water, and tells Aragorn)
Boromir: Dude, there’s this incredibly skinny dude floating around in the river. Almost didn’t see him, with the log in the way and all.
Aragorn: It’s Gollum.
Boromir: For real? Gollum’s a log? I’m confused.
Aragorn: No, dude, the skinny guy behind the log is Gollum. Pay attention, bro.
Boromir: Oh, yeah, sorry. … So, about takin’ the ring to Gondor.
Aragorn: Are you mental? We’re sooooo not going to Gondor, man. We’re taking it to Mordor, kay?
Boromir: Dude, you’re the one who’s mental. Taking it to Mordor, to Sauron. He’s so gonna catch us, and then we’ll be the one’s who’re toast.
Aragorn: Pfft.
(Elsewhere)
Sam: Mr. Frodo, you gotta eat, man.
Frodo: Buzz off, bro and leave me alone, kay? I wanna mope.
Sam: No way, dude. I’m here for ya, man, always. I LOVE you, dude!
Frodo: I love ya, too dude, but a bro’s gotta have his space. So scram.
(Back to Aragorn and Boromir)
Boromir: Gondor.
Aragorn: Mordor.
Boromir: Gondor.
Aragorn: Mordor.
Boromir: Gondor.
Aragorn: Mordor.
Boromir: Mordor.
Aragorn: Gondor.
Boromir: Yes, Gondor!
Aragorn: Hey, wait a minute! You tricked me, dude! That was not cool.
Boromir: (sing-song voice) We’re going to Gondor! We’re going to Gondor!
Aragorn: Yeah, right, you wish.
Boromir: No take backs!
Aragorn: You suck.
Day Eight:
Pippin: I spy a tree.
Frodo: I spy a rock.
Aragorn: I spy a bird.
Legolas: I spy a fish.
Merry: I spy an Uruk-Hai.
The others: What!
Merry: Sike!
The others: Dude!
Merry: Sorry, geez. Lighten up. ‘Sides, I don’t even know what an Uruk-Hai looks like yet – hello!
Aragorn: I spy Kings of the Past.
(Dudeship looks up at the Argonath.)
The others: Oooohhhh, aaaaaahhhh.
Sam: Wow, those are, like, really big.
Parth Galen
(The Dudeship sees a big honking waterfall up ahead and decides this would be a good time to get off the river. They pull over to the shore where, conveniently enough, there are little dock thingies to tie the boats down. Only they don’t tie the boats down. What retards.
Boromir and Frodo linger in their respective boats, each looking anxious and freaked. Gee, that couldn’t possibly mean anything…
Soon, the Dudeship has a fire going and they’re fighting.)
Aragorn: Mordor.
Gimli: Anywhere else.
Aragorn: Mordor.
Gimli: Anywhere else.
Aragorn: Shut up already, stumpy. We’re going to Mordor and that’s that.
Gimli: Who you calling ‘stumpy’, Afroshine?
Pippin: Dude, Aragorn doesn’t have an afro.
Gimli: No, but he’s got enough oil in his hair he could make one if he wanted to. Dude, don’t you ever wash your hair?
Sam: Thank you.
Aragorn: Shut up, little dude. Stay outta this. Just sit back there and pretend to alternate between sleeping and cleaning your sword, kay?
Sam: Kay. (pretends to sleep)
Legolas: Well, I’d put in my two cents, but since none of you bozos are gonna listen to me anyway, why bother.
Aragorn: What are you muttering about now?
Legolas: I didn’t say nothing. I don’t hear nothing, I don’t sense nothing. Nope, no shadows or threats growing my mind here, dude.
Gimli: Look, dude, Mordor ain’t no tea party. First, you got the Emyn Muil, kay, which is like the world’s narliest maze but without the pretty trimmed hedges. No, instead, it’s got a bunch of nasty jagged rocks, kay? (behind him, Sam is now pretending to clean his sword) And here’s something they don’t mention in the tourist pamphlet – there’s no finish line. It just goes round and round. Second, after that, there’s like this really nasty swap thingie and it stinks worse than a steam room full of funky jockey shorts. (Sam is pretending to sleep again, though this doesn’t stop him from crinkling his nose at the ‘funky jockey shorts’ comment.)
Merry: (coming back from collecting firewood) Dudes, like, where’s Frodo?
Sam: He’s not here?! I lost him?! Dude, I suck.
Aragorn: Where’s Boromir?
Sam: Who cares, dude? We gotta find Frodo.
Legolas: Calm down, little dude. Boromir’s been wigging over Frodo since we left Lothlorien. If we find him, we’ll find Frodo.
Sam: Oh, dude, if hurts even one hair on my Frodo’s head, I’ll kill him majorly.
Legolas: My freaky Elven senses tell me you won’t have to worry about that. But hey, don’t listen to me. No one else does. In fact, I’m starting to wonder why I’m even here.
Sam: Huh? Sorry, dude, did you say something?
Pippin: Dudes, shouldn’t we be scattering in various directions in a mad search for Frodo, thus separating ourselves from the protection of the group and leaving us vulnerable to attack by those way-scary super orcs that are sneaking up on us at this very moment to kill you Big Dudes and kidnap us little dudes, thus forwarding the plot to the next movie?
Aragorn: Oh, yeah, I knew we were forgetting to do something. Scatter!
Gimli: To the winds!
(They all scatter in different directions)
(Elsewhere, Frodo’s trying to get some alone time and comes upon a big narly statue head lying on the ground.)
Frodo: Dude, that’s, like, a really huge head. (looks around) Where’s the body? Now that’s just weird.
Boromir: Oh, lookie, in my totally innocent pursuit of campfire wood, I’ve stumbled upon the Ring Dude, alone and completely vulnerable. Talk about your coincidences, huh?
Frodo: Um, yeah, whatever dude.
Boromir: You know, little dude, there’s like no reason for you to be tormenting yourself over this ring thingie. I mean, you could, like, oh, I don’t know, give the ring to someone else… me, for instance… and just go home back to the Shire-hood and never have to worry about any of this ever again. Wouldn’t that be sweet?
Frodo: Ah, you’re the dude the Lady Dude warned me about. I so think you should get lost now.
Boromir: Let me rephrase. Give me the ring, twerp, or else.
Frodo: Or else what?
Boromir: I’ll kill you – duh.
Frodo: And then the rest of the Dudeship will kill you – duh.
Boromir: Well, then, I’ll just have to skid-addle before they find me.
Frodo: Dude, like, how you gonna kill me if you can’t see me? (slips on Ring and disappears)
Boromir: Dude! Cheating! No fair! (throws a hissy fit and trips on absolutely nothing, knocking himself crazy-less.) Oh, dude, I just did a baaaad thing. Little Dude! Come back, bro! I didn’t mean it! I’m sorry! Little dude?
(Frodo runs for dear life, up some stairs to this way cool look-out tower overlooking the river, only instead of the river, he sees the tower of Barad-Dur and the Eye of Sauron. Dude, he must have Super Vision or something. Oh, wait, it’s just the ring. My bad.)
Eye of Sauron: You can run, but you can’t hide, little dude.
Frodo: Aw crap.
(He pulls off ring and falls – AGAIN! Dude, this is one clumsy little dude.)
Frodo: Ow. That hurt.
Aragorn: Frodo?
Frodo: Ranger Dude!
Aragorn: Where’s Boromir?
Frodo: Uh, I dunno. Last time I saw him, he was trying to kill me and take the ring. Do you think you could talk to him about that, cuz that is a most uncool thing to do.
Aragorn: Where is the ring?
Frodo: Dude, get away from me, bro! Are you all freaking out or something?
Aragorn: I’m not freaking out.
Frodo: Yeah, right.
Aragorn: Dude, I swore to protect you, and protect you, I will.
Frodo: Yeah, and how long till you try to take the ring?
Aragorn: Never! Dude, I sooo wouldn’t do that!.. Um, but maybe you should leave anyway. That Gimli’s been lookin’ kinda shifty lately.
Frodo: Look after the others, especially Sam. He’s so my favorite.
Aragorn: Oh, and the rest of us are, what, a bunch of useless dimwits?
(He suddenly draws Andruil – oh, but wait, that’s still at Rivendell. He suddenly draws his plain old ordinary sword.)
Aragorn: Run little dude! Super orcs!
Frodo: It would be waaay cowardly of me to split and leave you alone to stand off against a hundred super orcs all by yourself…. See ya, dude. (runs away)
