Picture pans back to include a concrete culvert with Sam asleep and Frodo sitting up looking into nothing with staring eyes. He fiddles with the chain around his neck and grimaces. He pulls the ring out surreptitiously watching Sam making sure he doesn't see. He admires the ring turning it in his fingers. He hears a sound and glances up, tucking the ring away quickly in his clothes.
Gollum appears from above hanging upside down and looking at them.
GOLLUM: Wake up! (he jumps down) Wake up! (he prods Sam) Wake up sleepies! We must go, yes, we must go at once.
He scampers away and Sam sits up.
SAM: Haven't you had any sleep Mr Frodo?
Frodo shakes his head looking at him.
SAM: And I've gone and had too much. (He stands and looks out of the culvert) It must be getting late.
FRODO: No, it isn't. It isn't midday yet. (He peers around) The days are growing darker.
The ground shakes and the Volcano spurts fire in the distance.
GOLLUM: Come on! Must go! No time!
SAM: Not before Mr Frodo's had something to eat.
GOLLUM: No time to lose silly!
Sam ignores Gollum and turns back into the culvert. He goes into his bag for food. He offers a lembas wrapping to Frodo.
SAM: Here.
Frodo takes it eagerly.
FRODO: What about you?
SAM: Oh no, I'm not hungry, leastways not for lembas bread.
FRODO: Sam!
SAM: Oh alright, but we don't have that much left. We have to be careful or we are going to run out. You go ahead and eat that Mr Frodo. I've rationed it, there should be enough.
Frodo eats.
FRODO: For what?
SAM: The journey home.
Scene changes and shows the Hobbits walking, following Gollum into the trees.
GOLLUM: Come Hobbitses, very close now. Very close to Mordor. No safe places here. Hurry.
They follow him through the dreary landscape.
