DUDE OF THE RINGS: THE DUDE-SHIP OF THE RING

I amar prestar aen The world has changed, man.
Han mathon ne nen I can feel it in the water
Han mathon ne chae I can so feel it in the earth,
A han noston ned 'wilith I can, like, smell it in the air… Dude, what is that smell? Like someone’s narly gym socks. Gross, dude.
So anyways, where was I? Oh yeah,
Much that once was has been, like, lost bro, for there’s like no dudes left who can remember it, cuz they were like wasted, you know?
So, it, like, started with some rings, kay? 3 went to the elf-dudes, cuz they were all, like, immortal and fair and stuff. 7 went to the dwarf-dudes, cuz they were real good at cutting up stones. 9 went to men, cuz they were greedy and wanted more than everyone else. Oh, and the rings were, like, magical, bro, and they could totally rule everyone. Pretty cool, huh?
But they all got dissed big time, cuz there was this other ring that no one knew about. The Dark Dude Sauron made in the heart of Mt. Doom in Mordor, kay? And he was, like, all pissed off about something when he made it, so it was like super evil.
One Ring to rule all dudes.
So, like, everyone got enslaved, but this big group of men and elf-dudes decided that they, like, weren’t gonna take it no more and they fought back, bro.
(Majorly bloody battle sequence)
So anyways, the Dark Due killed the king. Isildur, that would be the king’s son, was all “you bastard!” and chopped off the Dark Dude’s fingers.
(Audience member: No way!)
Way! And the Dark Dude like, exploded, which was good. But Isildur kept the Ring, which was bad. And then the Ring, like, betrayed him and he got killed, which was kind of a bummer, and the Ring got all lost and junk.
History became legend.
Legend became myth.
And a ridiculously long amount of time passed with the Ring lying at the bottom of some river. But then, like, this Incredibly Skinny Dude with a bad comb-over found it and hid with it the tunnels of the Misty Mountains, which I’m betting would be totally awesome for skateboarding, bro. But anyway, the Incredibly Skinny Dude was all “my precious, it came to me, my own” for like 500 years, man. So finally, the Ring was all “forget this wacko” and it ditched him, bro. Cuz there was some major evil brewing and the Ring could, like, sense it, you know. But then, like, this little Hobbit Dude, Bilbo Baggins out of the Shire-hood, found it instead and he kept it.
And now, the time is coming when a bunch of littl Hobbit dudes will change the fortunes all other dudes.
Cool.

The Bridge of Kahzad-Dude

Boromir: So, dude, like, what's this new devilry thing, bro?
Gandalf: A balrog.
Legolas: Bummer, man.
Gandalf: This enemy is beyond all you dudes. Run!
(Run down stairs, across brigde. Gandalf stays behind to face Balrog.)
Gandalf: Dude, like, you can't pass man!
Balrog: ROAR!
Gandalf: Like, hello, I got the secret fire, man. What have you got dude? Nothing, man. You can't pass, so just deal, 'kay?
Balrog: ROAR!
(Balrog steps onto bridge. Bridge collapses and balrog falls.)
Pippin: You did it! The Incredibly Old Wiz-Dude did it!
Merry: Awesome, bro!
Aragorn: That was totally narly, Old Wiz-Dude!
Frodo and Sam: Totally tubular!
Gandalf: I so rule, bro.
(Just then Balrog's whip comes up and pulls Gandalf down.)
Gandalf: Like, fly dudes!
