No, it can't.
What must I do?
- You must leave. And leave quickly.
- Where? Where do I go?
Get out of the Shire. Make for the village of Bree.
Bree.
- What about you?
- I'll be waiting for you...
at the inn of the Prancing Pony.
- And the Ring will be safe there?
- I don't know, Frodo.
I don't have any answers.
I must see the head of my order. He is
both wise and powerful. Trust me, Frodo.
He'll know what to do.
You'll have to leave the name of Baggins behind you.
That name is not safe outside the Shire.
Travel only by day. And stay off the road.
I can cut across country easily enough.
My dear Frodo.
Hobbits really are amazing creatures.
You can learn all that there is to
know about their ways in a month.
And yet, after a hundred years...
they can still surprise you.
