THE COMPANY WAITING FOR FRODO'S DECISION

HOBBITS: Look at all our trials and tribulations
Fly away with gentle smoke of pipes
Don't disturb us now – we can see the answers
Till this morning is this evening life is fine

Always dreamed that I would have Adventures
Knew that I could make it if I tried –
But –
If I had known better I'd have stayed at home
No hope left both if we hide or fight!

What's the buzz – tell me what's a-happening?

ARAGORN: That's what I want to know
I'm in doubt about the future
When I try to think ahead
But we have no more tomorrow
We must think today instead
I'm not Gandalf so I don't
Know what were his plans and forecasts
And the place where we should go…

THE REST: Why don't we
Go to Minas Tirith first?

ARAGORN: We don't know our fate
The decision lies with Frodo
His opinion we won't deny
He will choose the path to go
He is meaning more than I

PIPPIN: It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying
That you can be quiet when we have
Problems of such kind
Everything is clear to me –
You all must understand –
We must not let Frodo go
And die in that dark land!!!

LEGOLAS: Let me try
To cool down your arguments
Try not to start quarrels
Try not to talk over
Problems that aren't yours to decide
The fate of the Ringbearer
Is not in our hands now
Either way he chooses
We'll take that path with him
So let's wait for him and be calm

SAM: I'm sorry sir, I'll say just this, if you all don't mind
There's none of you
Who really sees
What is on his mind
His way is long chosen,
Only it's hard for him
To decide at last and make it clear
The thing that delays him
Disturbs and annoys him
Is really nothing but
JUST PLAIN FEAR!!!
Going to that City
That's not what he must do
I'm sorry, Master Boromir…
Where is he?

ALL: He was right here but now he's gone!

SAM: Where is he?

ALL: He also wants to stay alone…

GIMLI: Good Legolas, I quite agree with you
Your words were true – they'd quarrel but for you
And Boromir – I wonder where he is
It's long time since I saw him. What of this?

LEGOLAS: Close your eyes and relax, think of nothing tonight!
If we try we'll get by, so forget all your troubles tonight!

BOROMIR and FRODO

BOROMIR: So you've got the Ring -
Got the great Ruling Ring!
Prove to me that it is true -
I know you have it here with you!
Prove to me that you're no fool -
It may well be our tool!
Don't be scared of me -
When I have it, you'll be free!

How can someone in your state
Be so cool about your fate?
An amazing thing - that golden Ring!
You have eyes, you surely see
You're not as strong as me!
So, if you allow -
I will take it - N O W !

(FRODO puts on the Ring and disappears)

Damn you!
You little treacherous trickster!
You little halfling - you're not at all what you seem!
Curse you!
You little prying betrayer!
You'll go and sell us to Him!!!

CURSE YOU AND ALL HALFLINGS TO DEATH AND DARKNESS!!!

* * *

Oh Frodo what I've done, Oh Frodo what I've said!
Something's gone over me and turned me mad!
I don't believe he hears me - I wish he could!
I hate returning back to them - but now I should!
Frodo! I know you can't hear me,
But what I have said, I don't feel any more!
Frodo! I know you don't believe me!
COME BACK !!!

FRODO: My mind is clearer now* –
At last all too well
I can see where we all soon could be
Even the Fellowship
Is no guard from the Ring
I must leave – but I'm through! through! through! (Exit)
