I knew my boss wouldn’t believe me if I said I was late for work because I was abducted by aliens, because what are the odds of that happening twice in one week?

Bilbo: “I will miss you all. What a wonderful adventure this was. So long, Dori. Ori. Nori. … ‘Big Guy.’ Oin. Gloin.”
“Excuse me. What was that?”
Bilbo: “Just saying goodbye.”
“You don’t know my name, do you?”
Bilbo: “What? Of course, I know your name. I know all the dwarves’ names. Don’t be ridiculous.”
“What is it then?”
Bilbo: “Hmm. What was that?”
“I can’t believe you don’t know my name, after this whole adventure. I rode with you on the back of a giant eagle.”
Bilbo: “I remember it well.”
“Saved you from a Goblin.”
Bilbo: “For which I’m eternally grateful.”
“I helped you kill a giant spider.”
Bilbo: “Of course you did. We fought the giant spider together.”
Ori: “I’m the one that killed the spider with you.”
Bilbo: …
“So you don’t know my name then.”
(A pause.)
(Bilbo slips on the Ring and disappears.)
(Sound of footsteps speeding away.)
