EXT. RIVER ANDUIN - DAY



ANGLE ON: SMEAGOL and his cousin, DEAGOL, sit in a SMALL

CORACLE, their FISHING LINES draped over the side . . . SUNSHINE

glinting off the surface of the water.
An idyllic image.
SUDDENLY . . . DEAGOL's FISHING ROD BENDS under the weight of a

LARGE FISH.



                        DEAGOL

                 (excited)

Smeagol, I've got one!

(he laughs)

I've got a fish, Smeagol!
                       SMEAGOL
