Legolas rides on horseback on his way to Rivendell to attend the Secret Council of Elrond. The Elf arrives at his destination, dismounts and takes in the scenery of Rivendell. He is so distracted by the beauty of it all that he accidentally collides into Aragorn.
LEGOLAS: Excuse me.
ARAGORN: How dare you? Do you think merely saying, ?Excuse me,? is sufficient? Your manners are very bad.
LEGOLAS: I hardly think you are the one to be telling me about bad manners.
ARAGORN: Fine. Let us meet at noon in the main courtyard of Rivendell and settle this matter.
LEGOLAS: See you then.
Legolas continues on his way. Ahead of him is Boromir who has also just arrived at Rivendell to attend the Secret Council of Elrond. Boromir dismounts from his horse and takes in the beauty of the scenery. Suddenly a strong wind blows Boromir?s cape which envelopes Legolas in its folds.
BOROMIR: What the --! What on earth on you doing?
LEGOLAS (still covered in the cape): Excuse, me, but your cape ?
Boromir pulls his cape off of Legolas and glares at the Elf.
BOROMIR: How dare you? I?ll teach you a lesson about treating the Son of Gondor this way! Meet me at one o?clock in the main courtyard of Rivendell!
LEGOLAS: Fine. See you then.
Legolas continues on his way. Ahead of him is Gimli the Dwarf who has just arrived at Rivendell to attend the Secret Council of Elrond. Legolas does not notice the Dwarf because he is busy thinking of his meetings at noon and one o?clock, plus Gimli is short and out of his line of vision. Legolas accidentally trips over Gimli.
GIMLI: Blasted Elf! How dare you! You need a proper lesson in showing respect for Dwarfs! Meet me at two o?clock in the main courtyard of Rivendell!
LEGOLAS: Very well. See you then.
Scene: Noon at the main courtyard of Rivendell. Legolas arrives and is surprised to see Aragorn, Boromir and Gimli standing there together.
ARAGORN: Here is the gentleman I am going to fight.
BOROMIR: What? But he?s the one I?m going to fight!
LEGOLAS: But not before one o?clock.
GIMLI: And he?s the one I?m also going to fight!
LEGOLAS: Not until two o?clock. Shall we? On guard!
Legolas draws his bow and arrow and points it at Aragorn.
ARAGORN: An arrow against my sword? Not what I had in mind, but very well.
Just then Lord Elrond appears with a group of his mightiest Elves.
ELROND: What is the meaning of all this? Stop immediately!
ARAGORN: With all due respect, Lord Elrond, this matter does not concern you.
ELROND: I beg to differ! You have all been summoned here for something much more important than whatever petty quarrels you may have between you! Now stand down and come with me immediately! All of you!
Legolas lowers his bow and arrow.
ARAGORN (half-aloud to Boromir and Gimli): Shall we defy Lord Elrond? It is five against three.
LEGOLAS: Right behind you, Lord Elrond.
The Elf turns to look at Aragorn, Boromir and Gimli. He smirks ever so slightly.
ARAGORN (thinking to himself): Blasted Elf!
BOROMIR (thinking to himself): Blasted Elf!
GIMLI (thinking to himself): Blasted Elf!
