Chapter 2 - Part 3
Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin travel to the town of Bree, where they are greeted with very little care, but seem to find themselves fitting right in at the Prancing Pony.
Frodo: "Underhill. The names Underhill. We're friends of Gandalf the Grey. Could you tell him we've arrived?"
Barman: "Gandalf. Elderly chap, big grey beard, pointy hat. Born to Martha and Stuart of the people of Gondor, May 19th. Likes include: Walking on the beach, singing, saving the world from Doom again and again. Dislikes include: Dark Lords, chess and breakfast. Twice magic world champion, Gandalf lives a quiet life travelling around the country seeing to his many charges. Nope, never heard of him."
Pippin: "What's that?"
Merry: "This, my friend, is a pint."
Pippin: "They come in pints? What's that?"
Sam: "This, my friend, is a bucket."
Pippin: "They come in buckets? What's that?"
Frodo: "This my friend, is a keg."
Pippin: "They come in kegs? What's that?"
Barman: "This, my friend, is a 50m Olympic-style swimming pool."
Pippin: "They come in 50m Olympic-style swimming- Actually, stuff it I'm just getting a pint."
Frodo: "The man in the corner, who is he?"
Barman: "He's on of them Rangers. Dangerous folk. 'Round here' he's known as Strider. Birthplace unknown, Strider's likes include-"
Frodo: "Yes, yes that's fine.."
Pippin: "Baggins? Sure I know a Baggins - Frodo Baggins, over there. He's my second cousin, twice removed on his mothers side. "
Frodo: "Pippin!"
Frodo gets up to stop Pippin but trips over a ridiculously long foot-hair and lets go of the keys as they spiral into the air.
