Frodo is lying in a bed at The House of Elrond in Rivendell)

Frodo:(half-asleep)
Where am I?

Gandalf:
You are in the house of Elrond. And it is 10 o'clock in the morning, on October the 24th if you want to know.

(Frodo wakes up)

Frodo:
Gandalf!

Gandalf:
Yes. I'm here. And you're lucky to be here too. A few more hours and you would have been beyond our aid. But you have some strength in you, my dear hobbit!

Frodo:
What happened Gandalf? Why didn't you meet us?

Gandalf:
Oh, I am sorry Frodo.... I was delayed.

(Flashback to Isengard. Saruman, using his staff, flips Gandalf around, then dangles him dangerously over the edge of Orthanc)

Saruman:
A friendship with Saruman is not lightly thrown aside. One ill turn deserves another. It is over! Embrace the power of the Ring...or embrace your own destruction!

(flips Gandalf back towards the platform. Gandalf slowly raises himself, and it looks like he's staring at Saruman, but what he realy sees is Gwaihir appearing in the distance)

Gandalf:
There is only one Lord of the Ring! Only one can bend it to his will. And he does not share power!

(Gandalf jumps off the Tower of Orthanc and onto Gwaihir's back)

Saruman:
So you have chosen....death?

(Gwaihir flies over the mountains, bearing Gandalf to safety. Back to Rivendell)

Frodo:
Gandalf? What is it?

Gandalf:
Nothing Frodo.

(Sam enters the room)

Sam:
Frodo! Frodo!

Frodo:
Sam!

Sam:
Bless you, you're awake!

(Frodo laughs)

Gandalf:
Sam has hardly left your side.

Sam:
We were that worried about you, weren't we, Mr. Gandalf?

Gandalf:
By the skills of Lord Elrond, you're beginning to mend.

(Elrond appears behind Gandalf)

Elrond:
Welcome to Rivendell, Frodo Baggins.

(Frodo walks in the gardens with Sam, then he sees Merry and Pippin and runs over to them, hugging them one by one. Then he turns and sees Bilbo sitting on a bench)

Frodo:
Bilbo!

Bilbo:
Hello Frodo my lad!

Frodo:
Bilbo! (hugs)

(Frodo and Bilbo on a balcony porch and Frodo reads Bilbo's book)

Frodo:
"There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Tale by Bilbo Baggins". (leafs through the book) This is wonderful!

Bilbo:
I meant to go back...wander the powers of Mirkwood... visit Laketown...see the Lonely Mountain again. But age it seems has finally caught up with me.

(Frodo stops leafing through the book to look at a map of the Shire)

Frodo:
I miss the Shire. I spent all my childhood, pretending I was off somewhere else.. Off with you on one of your adventures! My own adventure turned out to be quite different. (reflectively) I'm not like you, Bilbo.
