*(In the following caption, the old picture refers to the picture seen above, since the shot above
looks like a worn and faded picture. This caption is Gandalf and Bilbo happening on this picture.)*
Gandalf: "Oh, Bilbo! Look at this old picture I found!"
Bilbo: "Oh, that was a long while ago! Back when we were still in Middle-Earth!"
Gandalf: "Yes, those were tough times... I wonder how we were ever able to smile like that?"
Bilbo: "I'm not sure either; all I remember of Middle-Earth is dark and unpleasant."
Gandalf: "Well, at least we are happy here in Valinor; and it looks like we were once happy there, too."
Bilbo: "Yes, a good thing to remember: happy then and happy now.... Have you ever thought about going back for a visit? "
Gandalf: "Oh, no. No, no, no. I am not allowed, for my work is done. Besides, they do not sail back over the Sea."
Bilbo: "Huh. Well, after seeing that photo, it doesn't seem so bad anymore. I would very much like to go back. See the Lonely Mountain again...
wander the paths of Mirkwood.... visit Rivendell... (sigh)"
Gandalf: "Oh, I've heard that before! You stopped at Rivendell and just ended up coming here."
Bilbo: "Well, I never did get to do the other two things, and I'd still like to."
Gandalf: "I'm sorry, but I really don't think that that's possible. But you might ask Manwe if you are so desperate."
Bilbo: "Hmm. I might have to do that.... But that will be later. Back to chess for now. It's still your move."
Gandalf: "What? Oh, yes! Chess...."
