Pippin
- Aragorn: Gentlemen, we do not stop 'til nightfall.
- Pippin: What about breakfast?
- Aragorn: You've already had it.
- Pippin: We've had one, yes. What about second breakfast?
- [Aragorn turns and walks away]
- Merry: I don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pip.
- Pippin: What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn't he?
- Merry: I wouldn't count on it.
- Gandalf: [after failing to open the magical doors of Moria] I once knew every spell in all the tongues of Elves... Men... and Orcs.
- Pippin: What are you going to do, then?
- Gandalf: Knock your head against these doors, Peregrin Took! And if that does not shatter them, and I am allowed a little peace from foolish questions, I will try to find the opening words.
- Peregrin "Pippin" Took: What's that?
- Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck: This, my friend, is a pint.
- Peregrin "Pippin" Took: It comes in pints?
- Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck: Mmm!
- Peregrin "Pippin" Took: I'm getting one.
- Samwise "Sam" Gamgee: You've got a whole half already!
- Sam: [starts to panic] Mister Frodo? Frodo! Frodo!
- [Frodo emerges from the bend in the path, looking puzzled]
- Sam: I thought I'd lost you.
- Frodo: What are you talking about?
- Sam: It's just something Gandalf said.
- Frodo: What did he say?
- Sam: 'Don't you lose him Samwise Gamgee!' And I don't mean to.
- Frodo: [amused] Sam, we're still in the Shire. What could possibly happen?
- [Suddenly, Pippin bursts from the cornfield and knocks over Frodo. Merry, close behind, barrels out, knocking over Sam. Both have an armful of vegetables]
- Pippin: Frodo? Merry! It's Frodo Baggins.
- Merry: Hello Frodo!
- Sam: Get off him!
- [hauls Pippin off Frodo]
- Sam: Frodo? Are you all right?
- Pippin: What's the meaning of this?
- Merry: Hold this.
- [hands vegetables to Sam]
- Sam: You've been into Farmer Maggot's crop!
- [They hear a dog barking and an angry, yelling voice. Pippin grabs Frodo and runs, followed by Merry. Sam does a double take on the produce in his hands, drops them and runs after the others]
- Farmer Maggot: [brandishing a scythe] OI! Maggots! You get back here! Wait till I get on this to you! GET OUT OF MY FIELD! You'll know the devil if I catch up with you!
- Merry: 'Dunno why he is so upset. It's only a couple of carrots!
- Pippin: And some cabbages. And those few bags of potatoes that we lifted last week and, and the mushrooms the week before!
- Merry: Yes Pippin! My point is, he is clearly overreactin'. Run!
- [Pippin, Frodo and Merry stops just before the edge of the hill. Sam slams into them from behind and all four hobbits roll down the hill]
- Pippin: Ooh! That was close
- Merry: Ow! I think I've broken something.
- [pulls out a broken carrot]
- [night; a Ringwraith gallops through the forest, screeches and turns his horse around; elsewhere, Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin run stealthily between the trees]
- Samwise "Sam" Gamgee: Anything?
- Frodo Baggins: Nothing!
- Peregrin "Pippin" Took: What is going on?
- Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck: That black rider was looking for something, or someone. Frodo?
- [they face each other]
- Samwise "Sam" Gamgee: Get down!
- [the hobbits drop down to the ground and hide behind bushes as the Ringwraith trots into view on the path ahead; after surveying his surroundings, he gallops away]
- Frodo Baggins: I have to leave the Shire.
- [faces Merry]
- Frodo Baggins: Sam and I must get to Bree.
- Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck: [nods] Right.
- [gets an idea]
- Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck: Bucklebury Ferry. Follow me.
- [the hobbits run deeper through the forest, right into the screeching Ringwraith]
- Peregrin "Pippin" Took: Run!
- Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck: This way! Follow me!
- Peregrin "Pippin" Took: Frodo! Hurry! Run!
- [the Ringwraith chases them through the forest, screeching; Sam, Merry and Pippin jump over a fence and race to the Bucklebury Ferry raft at the edge of the river]
- Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck: Get the rope, Sam!
- [they quickly untie the ropes]
- Samwise "Sam" Gamgee: Frodo!
- [Frodo races for the raft with the Ringwraith right behind him]
- Peregrin "Pippin" Took: Run, Frodo!
- Frodo Baggins: Go!
- [they cast off]
- Peregrin "Pippin" Took: Hurry!
- Samwise "Sam" Gamgee: Frodo! Come on!
- Peregrin "Pippin" Took: Frodo!
- Samwise "Sam" Gamgee: Come on, faster!
- Peregrin "Pippin" Took: Jump!
- [Frodo jumps onto the raft and lands on top of Sam; the Ringwraith's horse skids to a stop at the edge of the jetty; the hobbits float safely across the river as the Ringwraith screeches in defeat and retreats]
- Frodo Baggins: How far to the nearest crossing?
- Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck: [rows] The Brandywine Bridge, twenty miles.
- [Frodo and Sam get to their feet; the Ringwraith gallops away and follows two more Ringwraiths into the forest]
