-So, they go from being like, prisoners of war, to the very bosom of Nature. It kind of helps them become hobbits again.
-Mmmm, bosom.
-Did I say bosom?
-Yeah. (x)

elijah: speaking of game-making, what was the name of the fake game that y’all tried to get me into?
billy, dom, sean: oh, tig! tag? tig! tig!
elijah: oh my God…
billy: tig was when we were filming weathertop, and myself and dom just started tigging each other, you know just touching each other, going “tig! tig!” just for like, no reason. and then, sean came over, and he started doing it as well. and then we’d say, “tig tig, tig tag” like, for no reason. and then elijah came over and said, “what are you guys doing?” we said, “oh, we’re playing a game called tig.” he says, “well how do you play?” and we spent like the next two hours making up rules…
elijah: and trying to teach me, and of course, I was getting everything wrong…
sean: he couldn’t follow the game, and the three of us were forever frustrated that he wasn’t following these new rules that we continued to make up…
dom: so we, the three of us, were constantly getting it right, and every time elijah tried a new way of tigging, we’d say, “no, elijah, you can’t tig on a tog, you can’t tag on a tig, you have to do an elephant impression if you’re gonna tig billy… if billy’s gonna tig you back, you have to get on your knees and take your trousers down…”
billy: how many times, elijah, you can’t double-tig a tag!
dom: and for like three weeks, he was saying how much he enjoyed playing tig.
sean: and he wanted to get the rule book!
billy: and remember we forgot to say it was a wind-up! so a year later he says, “why do we never play tig?”
elijah: and then they finally let the cat out of the bag. my whole world came shattering down on me when they told me that that was a lie. for a whole year, I believed it was a real game, and then they told me.”
dom: sorry, elijah.
elijah: and then, what else was not true? that’s what I was asking.
sean: it undermines the integrity of the entire relationship.
dom: that’s what I think.
Holy crap. Can we get a download of this??
I’m sure it has some sort of effect. Whether it’s tobacco or some sort of weed. So, you know, how high are we?
# shit talking hobbits
Elijah, Dom, and Billy fucking around on the set of ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’.
When Pippin is being hit with the apples after asking about second breakfast, it is Viggo Mortensen himself chucking the apple at his head. They had to shoot the scene 16 times to get it just right, and Billy Boyd says he believes Mortensen enjoyed himself immensely.
