Trying To Bridge The Divide Between Goblins And A Bridge-less Divide

(My friend and I are watching the first part of The Hobbit. She’s never seen it before. We come to the scene where our heroes escape from the goblins in the mountain.)

Friend: “Wow, this is scary. It’s so dangerous!”

Me: “What is?”

Friend: “They’re running so fast on those flimsy little wooden bridges! They don’t even have anything to hold on to! That’s scary, you know!”

Me: “So… being attacked on the way by hundreds of angry goblins isn’t?”

Friend: “Not half as scary as those bridges! Look, planks are missing and everything! I can’t believe they run so fast without fear of falling down…”

Me: “You never cease to amaze me, you know?”
