Welcome to the Easter egg. You found it, congratulations.
I hope we've made it difficult for you.
Basically, this is, no exception to the previous Easter eggs
Yet another comic piece of genius. [chuckles]
Basically, this is an interview with Dominic Monaghan and myself.
He interviews me. I could not see him on the day
Therefore, I didn't necessarily know it was him.
Because I was doing the interview via satellite, I was in New York City
While they, the cast, was actually in Berlin.
And so I couldn't see him, but he could see me.
They had a monitor in Berlin that allowed the interviewers to actually see me
Sitting in New York. And he sat down and posed as a German interviewer.
And I bought it, initially.
And you kind of get the idea; it's actually incredibly funny.
So I'll let, actually, Hans Jensen set it up himself.
- [mock German accent] Welcome, willkommen to Kino Das Bang Bang Boom Boom 1970
Gjon-Hai Ich Habe Eisen Diese Nacht Willkommen 2004.
Today, I will be interviewing Elijah Woods.
Elijah is a incredible actor from Los Angeles, California, born in Idaho.
Or is it Iowa? Not important.
He is an actor working in the United States of America.
Incredible, incredible actor, and I have been searching for him all my life.
He has incredible blue eyes.
And this interview has been the most special interaction
I have had with an actor in 17 years.
So please sit back, enjoy, wear a smoking jacket and a bib.
And take on board the genius that is Hans Jensen.
Good evening.
Hello, Mr. Woods!
- Hello, Mr. Hans. - Uh, Mr. Jensen.

Australia, America? You enjoy...? - Yeah.
Yeah... - You enjoy music?
You're a very big fan of music over here, over in Germany?
- Yes, I love music. I have done a bit of deejaying.
I think deejay purists would probably hate me...
- Ha! - Because I only deejay with CDs. Um...
- I don't know if anybody can hate you, Mr. Woods.
- Well... - 'Cause you are... Your eyes
And your American voice. - Thank you.

- So Frodo, on Page 720 of The Lord of the Rings, there is a quote from Frodo.
He says, "In a world filled with mirth and magic, you lose time in yourself."
You agree with this comment? - "In a..."
- I will repeat it for you. - Please.
- "In a world..." You can hear me.
- Yes.
- Yes? - Yep.
- "In a world filled with mirth and magic, you lose time in yourself."
You agree with this statement from Frodo?
- "You lose time within yourself."
Um... Yeah, that's interesting. Yeah, I see...
- You begin to forget yourself, I think.
- Yes, and I think that's exactly what Frodo goes through.
Because ultimately, by the end of Frodo's journey, he doesn't have...
- It's a bad question. It's a bad question, forget it.
- No, no, no. It's not a bad question. - No. Forget it, forget it.
- It's not a bad question.
- Sean Astin, your hobbit friend, quoted as saying you are
"A beautiful man, a beautiful man." Do you have a comment for Sean?

A gay connotation.

Because of your eyes.
