Out of Context Contest - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Greetings all you people of the Downs!

Here is a game I thought of a few minuets ago. It is quite simple and lovely.
It's all about taking a sentence out of context and expanding upon it. Basically, Post a sentence from anywhere in Tolkien literature that (preferably) sounds amusing when taken out of context and the next person can start a paragraph with that sentence taking it in whatever direction they wish, then adding a sentence of their own for the next player and so on.

For Example:

One Player Writes...

Another:

"He'll eat us all, if He gets it, eat all the world." said Frodo as Sam reached for another slice of cake. He could not let that happen, so he snatched the cake away and ate it himself. "It's for your own good!" he said, but Sam frowned and kicked at the table sulking. Gandalf's giant cake had not satisfied him; perhaps it was because Frodo had eaten all of it.

"Are there piles of jewels and Gold lying about here still?"

And the next person starts with that sentence anew.

So, you may begin with:

'Are there piles of Jewels and Gold lying around here still' said Sam peering into the black hole of The Brinks Mat Wharehouse.

"Why? Why do the fools fly?" said Denethor as he peered up in the sky at the Tooks from the shire who had aquired special flying abilities from a drunken Gandalf one thursday night. The fact that they rained down eggs on him only deepened his malace!

...Gandalf said. "Yes," Pippin replied, holding his head down in embarrasment. "I'm the lembas thief."

"Let's get this over with," said Aragorn before his coronation, "so I can get back to my Nintendo".

"these Riders do not love it, and fear..."

"These Riders do not love it, and fear the horses they ride." Aragorn explained as the Witch King ran around in circles screaming and flapping his arms, "So when a rider is near they'll mostly be screaming in terror."

"I'm nearly dead of it," said Bilbo
