I gave you the chance of aiding me willingly, but you have elected the way of pain.
Gandalf is breathing hard on the floor, his eyes look into the madness of Saruman... Commanding two staffs, Saruman sends Gandalf into a sickening spin. Gandalf tumbles towards the top of the chamber...as if falling in reverse. Rushing
POV:
the roof of Orthanc rockets toward camera.
CUT TO:
EXT. FARMER'S FIELDS -- DAY
Wide on:
Frodo and Sam walking along a country lane which borders Farmer Maggot's Fields. Sam is looking up...Frodo has disappeared around a corner in the lane.
SAM:
(panicked) Mr. Frodo. Mr. Frodo! Frodo turns, surprised as Sam comes running towards him.
SAM (CONT'D) (worried) I thought I lost you. Frodo looks at Sam suspiciously. Sam glances down, embarrassed.
FRODO:
(teasing) What are you talking about?
SAM:
(mumbling) It's just something Gandalf said...
FRODO:
What did he say?
SAM:
He said..."Don't you leave him, Samwise Gamgee."
(looks at Frodo intently) And I don't mean to.
FRODO:
(laughing) Sam...we're still in the Shire...what could possibly happen?
(CONTINUED) 39.
CONTINUED:
SUDDENLY! A figure comes crashing out of a hedgerow sending Frodo flying. Frodo picks himself up, only to be knocked back down again by Pippin.
PIPPIN:
Frodo! Merry, it's Frodo Baggins.
MERRY:
Hello Frodo Merry, Pippin, and Frodo picking themselves up... a variety of vegetables have scattered everywhere.
SAM:
What's the meaning of this!
MERRY:
Sam, hold this... Merry gives Sam a large cabbage.
SAM:
(accusing) You've been into Farmer Maggot's crop!
A large pitchfork can be seen racing towards them along the Hedgerow...angry shouts from Farmer Maggot.
FARMER MAGGOT (O.S.) Who's that in my field! Get out of it!
