指环王1：护戒使者 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Movie Script

themselves. CLOSE ON:

Bilbo...a strange hum seems to fill his head. A bead of sweat rolls down his brow.

Bilbo's hand pulls something out of his waistcoat pocket and holds it behind his back.

(CONTINUED) 18.

CONTINUED:

BILBO (CONT'D) I have..things to do and I have put this off for far too long... CLOSE ON: BILBO'S knuckles turn white as he tightens his grip on the small object behind his back.

BILBO (CONT'D) I regret to announce, this is the end. I am going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell!! Bilbo looks across at Frodo, hesitates... then... BILBO (CONT'D) (whisper) Goodbye.

Bilbo instantly vanishes. The party explodes into an uproar... the crowd leaps to its feet.

ANGLE ON:

FRODO staring at the empty stool in disbelief.

CUT TO:

EXT. BAG END -- NIGHT The party is still in an excited uproar... some 50 yards away as we pan across a moonlit lane to the front door of Bag End.

Door opens, pulled by an invisible hand.

INT. BAG END -- NIGHT The door quietly closes...Bilbo materializes as he pulls a plain gold ring off his finger. Bilbo laughs as he tosses the ring in the air, then places it in his pocket.

ANGLE ON:

Bilbo emerges from the passage, carrying a walking stick. He finds Gandalf looming over him.

GANDALF:

I suppose you think that was terribly clever?

BILBO:

Come on, Gandalf! Did you see their faces?

(CONTINUED) 19.

GANDALF:

There are many magic rings in the world, Bilbo Baggins, and none of them should be used lightly.

BILBO:

It was just a bit of fun. Oh, you're probably right as usual.

GANDALF:

You will keep an eye on Frodo, won't you?

BILBO:

I'm leaving everything to him.

GANDALF:

What about this ring of yours? Is that staying too?

Close on:

Bilbo...he gives Gandalf a look and nods toward the mantelpiece.

BILBO:

Yes, yes, it's in an envelope...over there on the mantelpiece. Gandalf frowns at the empty mantelpiece...Bilbo suddenly feels his waistcoat with a look of guilty surprise.

BILBO (CONT'D) No, wait. It's here in my pocket. Isn't that...isn't' that odd now? Yet, after all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?

GANDALF:

I think you should leave the Ring behind, Bilbo. Is that so hard?

BILBO:

Well, no...and yes. Now it comes to it, I don't feel like parting with it. It's mine. I found it. It came to me!

ANGLE ON:

GANDALF LOOKS DOWN AT BILBO WITH RISING CONCERN.
