Just at that moment, William came up behind and popped a sack right over Thorin’s head and down to his toes. And so the fight ended. A nice pickle they were all in now: all neatly tied up in sacks, with three angry trolls (and two with burns and bashes to remember) sitting by them, arguing whether they should roast them slowly, or mince them fine and boil them, or just sit on them one by one and squash them into jelly; and Bilbo up in a bush, with his clothes and his skin torn, not daring to move for fear they should hear him.

It was just then that Gandalf came back. But no one saw him. The trolls had just decided to roast the dwarves now and eat them later—that was Bert’s idea, and after a lot of argument they had all agreed to it.

“No good roasting them now, it’d take all night,” said a voice. Bert thought it was William’s.

“Don’t start the argument all over again, Bill,” he said, “or it will take all night.”

“Who’s arguing?” said William, who thought it was Bert that had spoken.

“You are,” said Bert.

“You’re a liar,” said William; and so the argument began all over again. In the end they decided to mince them fine and boil them. So they got a great black pot, and they took out their knives.

“No good boiling them! We ain’t got no water, and it’s a long way to the well,” said a voice. Bert and William thought it was Tom’s.

“Shut up!” said they, “or we’ll never have done. And yer can fetch the water yerself, if yer say any more.”

“Shut up yerself!” said Tom, who thought it was William’s voice. “Who’s arguing but you, I’d like to know.”

“You’re a booby,” said William.

“Booby yerself!” said Tom.

And so the argument began all over again, and went on hotter than ever, until at last they decided to sit on the sacks one by one and squash them, and boil them next time.

“Who shall we sit on first?” said the voice.

“Better sit on the last fellow first,” said Bert, whose eye had been damaged by Thorin. He thought Tom was talking.

“Don’t talk to yerself!” said Tom. “But if you wants to sit on the last one, sit on him. Which is he?”

“The one with the yellow stockings,” said Bert.

“Nonsense, the one with the grey stockings,” said a voice like William’s.

“I made sure it was yellow,” said Bert.

“Yellow it was,” said William.

“Then what did yer say it was grey for?” said Bert.

“I never did. Tom said it.”

“That I never did!” said Tom. “It was you.”

“Two to one, so shut yer mouth!” said Bert.

“Who are you a-talkin’ to?” said William.

“Now stop it!” said Tom and Bert together. “The night’s gettin’ on, and dawn comes early. Let’s get on with it!”

“Dawn take you all, and be stone to you!” said a voice that sounded like William’s. But it wasn’t. For just at that moment the light came over the hill, and there was a mighty twitter in the branches. William never spoke, for he stood turned to stone as he stooped; and Bert and Tom were stuck like rocks as they looked at him. And there they stand to this day, all alone, unless the birds perch on them; for trolls, as you probably know, must be underground before dawn, or they go back to the stuff of the mountains they are made of, and never move again. That is what had happened to Bert and Tom and William.

“Excellent!” said Gandalf, as he stepped from behind a tree, and helped Bilbo to climb down out of a thorn-bush. Then Bilbo understood. It was the wizard’s voice that had kept the trolls bickering and arguing, until the light came and made an end of them.

The next thing was to untie the sacks and let out the dwarves. They were nearly suffocated, and very annoyed: they had not at all enjoyed lying there listening to the trolls making plans for roasting them and squashing them and mincing them. They had to hear Bilbo’s account of what had happened to him twice over, before they were satisfied.

“Silly time to go practising pinching and pocket-picking,” said Bombur, “when what we wanted was fire and food!”

*     *     *     *     *     *     *

“Where did you go to, if I may ask?” said Thorin to Gandalf as they rode along.

“To look ahead,” said he.

“And what brought you back in the nick of time?”

“Looking behind,” said he.

triangle Script 대본 Roteiro Texto


Tom Troll: Don't bother cooking them. Let's just sit on them and squash them into jelly.

Bert Troll: They should be sauted and grilled with a sprinkle of sage.

Tom Troll: That does sound quite nice.

William Troll: Never mind the seasoning. We ain't got all night. Dawn ain't far away. Let's get a move on. I don't fancy being turned to stone.

Bilbo: Wait! You are making a terrible mistake.

Dwarf: You can't reason with them. They're half-wits!

Dwarf: Half-wits? What does that make us?

Bilbo: I meant with the seasoning.

Bert Troll: What about the seasoning?

Bilbo: Well, have you smelt them? You're going to need something stronger than sage before you plate this lot up.

William Troll: What do you know about cooking dwarf?

Bert Troll: Shut up, and let the flurgaburburhobbit talk.

Bilbo: The secret to cooking Dwarf is...

Bert Troll: Yes? Come on. Tell us the secret.

Bilbo: The secret is ... to skin them first.

Bert Troll: Tom, get me filleting knife.

William Troll: What a load of rubbish! I've eaten plenty with their skins on. Scoff them I say, boots and all!

Tom Troll: He's right! Nothing wrong with a bit of raw dwarf. Nice and crunchy.

Bilbo: Not that one. He's infected!

William Troll: You what?

Bilbo: Yeah, he's got worms in his tubes. In fact, they all have. They're infested with parasites. It's a terrible business. I wouldn't risk it. I really wouldn't.

Dwarf: Parasites? Did he say parasites?

Dwarf: We don't have parasites. You\ have parasites.

Dwarf: I've got parasites as big as my arm.

Dwarf: Mine are the biggest parasites. I've got huge parasites.

Dwarf: We are riddled.

Dwarf: Yes. We're riddled.

Dwarf: Yes we are. Exactly.

William Troll: What would you have us do then? Let them all go?

Bilbo: Well...

William Troll: You think I don't know what you're up to. This little ferret is taking us for fools!

Bilbo: Ferret?

Bert Troll: Fools?

Gandalf: The dawn will take you all!

William Troll: Who's that?

Bert Troll: No idea.

Tom Troll: Can we eat him too?

Dwarf: Get your foot out of my back.


Thorin: Where did you go to, if I may ask?

Gandalf: To look ahead.

Thorin: What brought you back?

Gandalf: Looking behind. Nasty business. Still, they all are in one piece.

Thorin: No thanks to your burglar.

Gandalf: He had the nous to play for time. None of the rest of you thought of that.
