Hstaphath: Hello, and welcome to Henneth Annun... the place where I take a break to invite you, the audience, to join me, the parody-maker, in "Find the Fish." I'm going to show you a scene with Gollum and ask you to guess where the fish is, but, if you think you know, don't keep it to yourselves! Yell out so everyone can hear you. So, here we are with... "Find the Fish."

Gollum: I wonder where that fish has gone.
Smeagol: You did love it so, you looked after it like a son.
Gollum: And it went wherever I did go.
Smeagol: Do the hobbitses have it?
Audience: Yes! Yes! No!
Smeagol: Wouldn't you like to know? It was a lovely little fish.
Gollum: And it went wherever I did go.
Tony: (in audience) It's behind the tree!
Gollum: Where can that little fishy be?
Susan: (in audience) Have you thought of Sam's cooking pot?!
Scott: (in audience) Shh!
Jason: (in audience) Is it behind that cow?
Amy: (in audience) Yeah, behind the cow!
Cow: Moooo!!!
Andy: (in audience) Surely not!
Smeagol: It is a most elusive fish, I'm thinking!
Gollum: And it went wherever I did go.
Smeagol: Never thirsting, ever drinking.
Gollum: A fish, a fish, my wish, a fishy, ooooh.
Smeagol: Clad in mail, never clinking.
Gollum: And Baggins guessed it long ago!
Steve: (in audience) Look behind his back!
Matt: (in audience) Yeah, it's hidden in his shorts!
