Alan SistoHOST
I don't know that Sam is there.
Alan SistoHOST
So what happens? Gandalf told Frodo at Bag End when he offered it, don't tempt me.
Alan SistoHOST
Boromir argues for using the ring against Sauron.
Alan SistoHOST
Elrond says, no way, you can't do that.
Ned RaggettHOST
they both get married they do but yeah
Jared PekacekHOST
yeah and you end up with like so bag end has to go somewhere because the book is extremely concerned with who who inherits the land who gets the land Not just Beg End, but overall, one owner or caretaker of everything in the book is going and replaced by another one.
Jared PekacekHOST
Like, Denethor is replaced by Faramir.
Jared PekacekHOST
The elves leave Lorien and are replaced by nobody.

Jared PekacekHOST
of it.
Jared PekacekHOST
This has to exist, and I think Rosie and Sam are obviously a huge part of his ideas on class.
Jared PekacekHOST
Their inheriting Bag End is not seen as a tragedy.
speaker_3UNKNOWN
No.
Mallory RubinHOST
Gandalf, meanwhile, pulls into town and shows he knows walkin' song ball by singin' the road goes ever on as Frodo runs to greet him.
Mallory RubinHOST
They exchange laughs and good cheer, some veiled concerns and hand waves, respectively, about Bilbo's odd behavior, and delight the wee shirelings with a mini-firework show before parting as Gandalf rides his wagon up to the door of Bag End.
Mallory RubinHOST
And that's it.
Mallory RubinHOST
That's all we're doing today.

Joanna RobinsonHOST
Is it modern day Bilbo or is it flashback? They gave Ian Holm a little facelift with some tape Bilbo that you were shouting out here.
Joanna RobinsonHOST
Yeah.
Mallory RubinHOST
Specifically Bag End Bilbo working on his book.
Mallory RubinHOST
Okay.
Daniel ReeveGUEST
And it seems like I landed in their lap at exactly the right time.
Daniel ReeveGUEST
They had some people who had done some background calligraphy, I think for Bag End, but then I kind of landed in their lap and they thought, you know what, we haven't thought, we needed a guide and here he is.
Daniel ReeveGUEST
So there I was and the rest is history.
Laura EdralinHOST
That's incredible, isn't it? All those years later and they're making the film on your doorstep.
11 MINS LATER
Laura EdralinHOST
Does that mean that you were the only one? Did you have somebody else helping you? How did that work?
Daniel ReeveGUEST
For most of my career, it has just been me.
Daniel ReeveGUEST
For the Lord of the Rings, I think, I thought at the time that I was the only one, but they did have some people I know now who had done some background stuff for Bag End.
Daniel ReeveGUEST
They had some other people who were doing inscriptions on weaponry and what have you, which I didn't know about at the time.
Jackie BonsignoreHOST
But you're going crazy.
speaker_3SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The dwarf I met in Bag End would never have gone back on his word.
speaker_3SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Would never have doubted the loyalty of his kin.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Speak to me, loyalty.

Michael J SmithHOST
Two such hobbits are Falco Bulger and Barnsley Boffin.
Michael J SmithHOST
They have arranged to meet at the Green Dragon, a local inn and popular drinking spot, before walking together to Bag End.
Michael J SmithHOST
There they are to meet one of their favorite hobbits, Bilbo Baggins, who has invited them over to ask a favor and has requested that they arrive around 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Michael J SmithHOST
As they approach the round green door and prepare to knock, it opens before they even have the chance.
9 MINS LATER
Michael J SmithHOST
It said Budgeford is kind of where they're from, so I just chose that.
Michael J SmithHOST
Oh, by the way, our Hobbit token should actually be roughly over here next to this hill.
Michael J SmithHOST
This is actually where Bilbo lives and Bag End is over here.
Michael J SmithHOST
So that is where we actually are.
GraceHOST
...
GraceHOST
I guess we could do that, and just be besties forever in Bag End." [laughs] Like...
Rory CarapellGUEST
Yeah.
GraceHOST
So I l- I love thinking of that potential character in a, a fun sort of creative way.
Roderick VonhögenHOST
Who doesn't remember that first line of the Hobbit book? And also, maybe you've seen the way in which they visualized that beginning of the Hobbit story in the first Hobbit movie by Peter Jackson.
Roderick VonhögenHOST
It shows you this hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, sitting in one of the rooms inside Bag End, in a hole under the ground.
Roderick VonhögenHOST
And he is writing that line because he is sitting there to write down the adventures that he remembers and that he wants to pass on to the next generation, among others, to his nephew Frodo.
Roderick VonhögenHOST
And I always pictured that as the ideal way to write a story.
JohnHOST
In Bilbo's time, only the richest and poorest hobbits still lived in holes, and above-ground houses became more common in many parts of the Shire.
JohnHOST
Uh, so, you know, ho- holes were really things like if you were rich like Bilbo, you could afford a, uh, large, uh, and luxurious hobbit hole, um, as he had, as Bag End was.
JohnHOST
If you were poor, you could s- you know, that was the only thing you could afford, so you just dug out a hole and probably had no windows and was not very nice to live in, but that was your place.
JohnHOST
Um, and then, you know, kind of the middle class of hobbits, uh, were, lived in more above-ground houses, uh, as time went on.
MavHOST
Yep.
EmHOST
So I guess technically Bag End or the Shire, whatever you wanna call it, is really ...
EmHOST
Oh, hi, Nikki.
MavHOST
Hey, Nikki.
MavHOST
It's those, it's those trees.
EmHOST
[laughs] It's those trees.
EmHOST
Martin here, Martin the encyclopedia, the old Bag End set was based on The Hobbit.
EmHOST
That's true.
