FOTR: "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road and if you don’t keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."

-Bilbo Baggins

TTT: "That doesn't make sense to me. But, then again, you are very small."

Treebeard 

ROTK: "Farewell. At the edge of these shores, our fellowship comes to an end. My work is ended. I will not say "do not weep," for not all tears are evil."

Gandalf

 "How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand there *is* no going back? There are some things time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep that have taken hold."

Frodo Baggins

"You cannot always be torn in two, Sam."

Frodo Baggins

”All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost.”

'Courage is found in unlikely places,' said Gildor.  'Be of good hope!

Merry: 'You can trust us to stick to you through thick and thin - to the bitter end.  And you can trust us to keep any secret of yours - closer than you keep it yourself.  But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble alone, and go off without a word.  We are your friends, Frodo...We are horribly afraid - but we are coming with you; or following you like hounds.'

"Many that live deserve death. And many that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Than be not eager to deal out judgment."

Gandalf

I will take the Ring, though I do not know the way."

Frodo Baggins

Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us

King Of The Dead: Who enters my domain?
Aragorn: One that will hold you true to your oath.
King Of The Dead: The dead do not suffer the living to pass.

[To Shelob]
Sam: I squashed your children... and I aim to get you next. No matter... what your size. I'll cut you... and chop you... until you... let him go.

Gandalf: Saruman, Gandalf comes to Isengard... no longer seeking your counsel.

Pippin: what’s that?                                                                                                                            

Merry: this my friend is a pint

Pippin: it comes in pints?

Pippin: I’m getting one

Aragorn: Gentlemen, we do not stop till nightfall.
Pippin: What about breakfast?
Aragorn: You've already had it.
Pippin: We've had one, yes. What about second breakfast?
Merry: I don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pip.
Pippin: What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn't he?
Merry: I wouldn't count on it.

Page 13 of 36 Theoden: A great host, you say? Aragorn: All Isengard is emptied. Theoden: How many? Aragorn: Ten thousand strong at least. Theoden: [astonished] Ten thousand? Aragorn: It is an army bred for a single purpose, to destroy the world of men. They will be here by nightfall. Theoden: Let them come. Frodo: I am Frodo Baggins, and this is Samwise Gamgee. Faramir: Your bodyguard? Sam: His gardener. Legolas: [in Elvish] You're late. [in English] Legolas: You look terrible. Gollum: [to Sam] Stupid, fat hobbit. Gimli: Toss me. Aragorn: What? Gimli: I cannot jump the distance. You'll have to toss me. Don't tell the elf. [A wall of soldiers line the ramparts. A gap appears] Gimli: You could have found a better spot. Pippin: It's talking, Merry. The tree is talking. Gandalf: The battle of Helm's Deep is over. The battle for Middle Earth is about to begin. Gollum: They're thieves! They're thieves! They're filthy little thieves! Where is it? Where is it? They stole it from us, our precious. Curse them! WE hates them! it's ours it is, and we wants it! We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false! Smeagol: No! Not master. Gollum: Yes precious. First they cheat you, hurt you, LIE. Smeagol: Master's my friend!. Gollum: You don't have any friends, nobody likes you! Smeagol: I'm not listening, I'm not listening. Gollum: You're a liar and a thief. Smeagol: No! Gollum: Murderer. Smeagol: Go away! Gollum: Go away? [Gollum laughs as Smeagol begins crying] Smeagol: I hate you, I hate you. Gollum: Where would you be without me? Gollum! Gollum saved us! It was me! We survived because of me! [Smeagol stops crying] Smeagol: Not anymore. Gollum: What did you say? Smeagol: Master looks after us now, we don't need you anymore. Leave now and never come back! Gollum: What? Smeagol: LEAVE NOW AND NEVER COME BACK! [Gollum screams in frustration] Smeagol: LEAVE NOW AND NEVER COME BACK! Galadriel: The power of the enemy is growing. Sauron will use his puppet Saruman to destroy the people of Rohan. Isengard has been unleashed. The Eye of Sauron now turns to Gondor, the last free kingdom of men. His war on this country will come swiftly. He senses the Ring is close. The strength of the Ringbearer is failing. In his heart, Frodo begins to understand. The quest will claim his life. You know this. You have foreseen it. It is the risk we all took. In the gathering dark, the will of the Ring grows strong. It works hard now to find its way back into the hands of men. Men, who are so easily seduced by its power. The young captain of Gondor has but to extend his hand, take the Ring for his own and the world will fall. He is close now, so close to achieving his goal. For Sauron will have dominion over all life on this Earth, even unto the ending of the world. The time of the elves is over. Do we leave Middle-Earth to its fate? Do we let them stand alone? Gandalf: Gandalf? Yes... that was what they used to call me. Gandalf the Gray. That was my name. Gimli: Gandalf... Gandalf: *I* am Gandalf the White. And I come back to you now - at the turn of the tide. Legolas: A red sun rises, blood has been spilled this night. Aragorn: There was an army bred for a single purpose, to destroy the world of men. Gollum: [singing] The rock and pool, is nice and cool, so juicy sweet. Our only wish, [he whacks the fish on the rock] Gollum: to catch a fish, [another whack] Gollum: so juicy sweet. Merry: Pippin, I think we made a mistake in leaving the Shire. Saruman: If the wall is breached, Helms Deep will fall. Wormtongue: Even if it is breached, it will take a number beyond reckoning - thousands to storm the keep. Saruman: Tens of thousands. Wormtongue: But, my lord, there is no such force. Eomer: What business does an elf, man, and a dwarf have in the Ridder-Mark? Speak quickly. Gimli: Give me your name, horse-master, and I shall give you mine. Eomer: [dismounts] I would cut off your head, dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground. Legolas: You would die before your stroke fell. Frodo: I can't do this Sam. Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. Frodo: What are we holding on to Sam? Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for. Gollum: We be nice to them, if they be nice to us. Sam: What we need is a few good taters. Gollum: What's taters, precious? What's taters, eh? Sam: Po-tay-toes. Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish. Sam: Even you couldn't say no to that. Gollum: Oh yes we could. Spoilin' nice fish. Give it to us raw and wrigglin'. You keep nasty chips. Sam: You're hopeless. Aragorn: Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall. Legolas: They may yet be alive. Gollum: All dead... all rotting. Elves and men and orcses Gollum: So bright... so beautiful... my precious. Frodo: What did you say? Gollum: Master should be resting, Master needs to keep up his strength. Frodo(standing up): Who are you? Gollum: Mustn't ask us. Mustn't answer. Frodo: Gandalf told me you were one of the River-folk. Gollum: Cold be heart and hand and bone. Cold be travelers far from home. Frodo(next to Gollum): He said your life was a sad story. Gollum: They do not see what lies ahead, when Sun has failed and Moon is dead. Frodo(in front of Gollum): You were not so very different from a Hobbit once, were you? (Gollum looks up at him) Smeagol. Gollum: What did you call me? Frodo: That was your name once, wasn't it? Gollum: My name? My name... Smeagol. Gollum: He wants the precious. Always he is looking for it. And the precious is wanting to go back to him... But we mustn't let him have it. Gandalf: All our hopes now lie with two little hobbits, somewhere in the wilderness. Sam: It's me. It's your Sam. Don't you know your Sam? Sam: Hey Stinker don't go gettin' too far ahead. Frodo: Why do you do that? Sam: What? Frodo: Call him names. Run him down all the time. Sam: Because... because that's what he is Mr. Frodo. There's naught left in him but lies and deceit. It's the ring he wants. That's all he cares about. Frodo: You have no idea what it did to him... what it's still doing to him. I want to help him Sam. [following Gollum, walking down the path] Sam: I wonder if we'll ever be put into songs or tales. Frodo: [turns around] What? Sam: I wonder if people will ever say, 'let's hear about Frodo and the Ring.' And they'll say 'yes, that's one of my favorite stories. Frodo was really courageous, wasn't he, Dad?' 'Yes, my boy, the most famousest of hobbits. And that's saying alot.' Frodo: [continue walking] You left out one of the chief characters - Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam. [Frodo stops and turns to Sam] Frodo: Frodo wouldn't got far without Sam. Sam: Now Mr. Frodo, you shouldn't make fun; I was being serious. Frodo: So was I. [they continue to walk] Sam: Samwise the Brave... Aragorn: Farmers, ferriers, stable boys. These are no soldiers. Gimli: Most have seen too many winters. Legolas: Or too few. Gimli: Milady... Eowyn: Lord Aragorn, where is he. Gimli: He fell. Aragorn: This is a dream. Arwen: Then it is a good dream. Gandalf: The veiling shadow that glowers in the East takes shape. Sauron will suffer no rival. From the summit of Barad-dur his eye watches ceaselessly. But he is not so mighty yet that he is above fear. Doubt ever gnaws at him. The rumor has reached him. The heir of Numenor still lives. Sauron fears you, Aragorn. He fears what you may become. And so he will strike hard and fast at the world of Men. He will use his puppet Saruman to destroy Rohan. War is coming. Rohan must defend itself, and therein lies our first challenge, for Rohan is weak and ready to fall. The King's mind is inslaved, it's an old device of Saruman's. His hold over King Theoden is now very strong. Sauron and Saruman are tightening the noose. But, for all their cunning, we have one advantage. The Ring remains hidden. And that we should seek to destroy it has not yet entered their darkest dreams. And so the weapon of the Enemy is moving towards Mordor in the hands of a Hobbit. Each day brings it closer to the fires of Mount Doom. We must trust now in Frodo. Everything depends now upon speed and upon the secrecy of his quest. Do not regret your decision to leave him. Frodo must finish this task alone. Aragorn: He's not alone. Sam went with him. Gandalf: Did he? Did he indeed? Good. Yes, very good. Theoden: Last time I looked Théoden, not Aragorn, was king of Rohan. Gollum: But, the fat hobbit. He knows. Eyes always watching. Gandalf: Look to my coming on the first light of the fifth day, at dawn look to the east. Aragorn: [In Elvish] Show no mercy... for you shall receive none. Gimli: It's true you don't see many dwarf women. In fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for dwarf men. Aragorn: It's the beards.
