Out of Context Contest

Greetings all you people of the Downs!

Here is a game I thought of a few minuets ago. It is quite simple and lovely.
It's all about taking a sentence out of context and expanding upon it. Basically, Post a sentence from anywhere in Tolkien literature that (preferably) sounds amusing when taken out of context and the next person can start a paragraph with that sentence taking it in whatever direction they wish, then adding a sentence of their own for the next player and so on.

For Example:

One Player Writes...

Another:

"He'll eat us all, if He gets it, eat all the world." said Frodo as Sam reached for another slice of cake. He could not let that happen, so he snatched the cake away and ate it himself. "It's for your own good!" he said, but Sam frowned and kicked at the table sulking. Gandalf's giant cake had not satisfied him; perhaps it was because Frodo had eaten all of it.

And the next person starts with that sentence anew.

So, you may begin with:
