Good point, Estelyn. The pumpkin thing is definately a good device, although we missed out on some priceless lines that never would have fit into the movie (like Rosie's comment about having wasted a year). <P>Eomer's right, the scene was happy and yet at the same time very melancholy. When things are being conveyed without dialogue, I always try to narrate the feelings of the characters, and both times I've seen ROTK, it's been something along the lines of "We've done it, and we're home, but this isn't the same. We don't fit in anymore." And then Sam finally builds up enough resolve to <B>do</B> something about it. <P>I'll never look at a pumpkin the same way again!
