Kalimac has just left Hobbiton.

Well...not too much really, if only because Aragorn isn't carrying Anduril in this version . It's a good scene in the books, but in the movie it would seem a little odd if Aragorn starts getting portentous about a sword that up till now has never had any particular significance. This makes the argument over weapons carrying somewhat pointless and it would also take up time that could be used for other stuff, since the conclusion would be the same anyway, with them all leaving their weapons except for Gandalf. I thought they did a nice shorthand version of it by having Gandalf say that surely they wouldn't deprive an old man of his staff; it got the point across in less time.
