(Our scene opens in Merry's hobbit hole, where Merry's
World is being shot for Shire Public Access....)
Merry: Okay, we're back *nod*
Pippin: Party on, Merry!
Merry: Party on, Pippin.... (pause) *nod* Okay!
Pippin: Heh!
Merry: Today on "Merry's World" our special guest is
Gimli the Dwarf.
Pippin: Yeah, because he's the only person we could
find who was shorter than us!
Merry: Heh...well, that's not why he's here (but he
is shorter than us!). Actually, he's here to promote
his new book, "Mining for Dummies".... so let's have
a great "Merry's World" welcome for...Gimli the Dwarf!
Pippin: Yay!
(Gimli comes out and sits next to Pippin)
Merry: So, Gimli...ever get lost in the mines of Moria?
(knowing grin)
Gimli (whisper): You promised you wouldn't bring that
up!
Merry: So Gimli, you wrote a book....tell us about it.
Gimli: Well, it's a how-to manual to teach non-dwarves
how to mine.
Merry: Oh...so hopefully you recommend shoring up rock
bridges that extend over really deep chasms, then, eh?
Gimli: Um....
Pippin: Yeah, and maybe you tell people to put up MAPS
of their mines with little stars that say "Hey, you
are HERE" so they don't get lost and have to rely on
wizards whose memory isn't what it used to be.
Gimli: Um....
Merry: Yeah, and maybe the part about not mining so
deep into the earth that you awaken and release demons?
How about that? What chapter is that in?
Gimli: Um...
Merry: Okay, that's all the time we have on "Mrry's
World" today, but we'll be back next week with a visit
from Arwen...
Pippin: Ohhhh Arwen...she's a babe...
Merry: She's babelicious!
Pippin: She's more smokin' than my pipeweed!
Merry: Ooh, good one, Pippin!
Gimli: Um...
Merry: Okay, so, until next week, I'm Merry....
Pippin: And I'm Pippin....
Merry: And this is Merry's World
Merry and Pippin (singing): Merry's World...Merry's
World...Breakfast time, excellent...Merry's World....Merry's
World...
