During the 2001 film adaptation of the Lord of the Rings by Peter Jackson, there is an extended edition scene in which the fellowship is approaching the entrance to the Mines of Moria. Gandalf cannot figure out the password, Merry and Pippin grow bored and begin to throw rocks at the lake (which later awakes the Watcher in the Water, the big octopus-like creature) and Aragorn, being kind natured and fond of horses, makes Samwise release the steed that has been with them since the Prancing Pony. He tells Sam, "The mines are no place for a pony, even one so brave as Bill." But what is it about Bill that makes him so brave?
