Frodo and Body Odor

(parody of the scene in which Boromir tries to take the ring)

by Krystal Vanyi


Boromir: None of us should wonder alone. You least of all. So much depends on you... Frodo?
(Frodo ignores Boromir)

Boromir: I know why you seek solitude. You perspire. I smell it day by day. Are you sure you don't smell needlessly?
(Frodo looks frightened)

Boromir: There are effective deodorants, Frodo. Or even powders that we might wear.

Frodo: I know what you would say and it would seem like wisdom but for the body odor I exude.

Boromir: Body odor, we all sweat, Frodo. But to let that odor destroy what social lives we have... don't you see that is madness!

Frodo: There is no other way.

Boromir: I ask only for the chance not to smell your secretion!
(Throws down a pile of wood and takes out a bottle of deodorant)

Boromir: If you could only wear deodorant...

Frodo: No!

Boromir: Why do you recoil? You really smell.

Frodo You sure that it's not yourself?

Boromir: What smell do you think you have? Everyone knows you stink! Everyone moves away! And you will beg for a bath before the end.
(Frodo tries to run away)

Boromir: You fool! You only smell save by unhappy chance!
(Jumps on top of Frodo)

Boromir: Lift up you arms! Give them to me, Give them to ME!!

Frodo: NO!!!
(puts on the ring and disappears)

Boromir: I see your mind. You'll give your foulness to others. You won't take baths. Curse you! Curse you and all the halflings!

Boromir: Frodo. What have I done? Please just wear deodorant, Frodo. Frodo I'm sorry.
