Quotes

 * Kera: It began a long, long time ago...... yet I remember it as if it were yesterday It all began with the forging of the Great Rings. Three were given to the Elves; immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven, to the Dwarf Lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the Humans, who above all else desire power. But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made. In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged in secret, a master ring, to control all others. Into it, he poured his own essence.... his darkness and trickery. Oh, those were dark days. But where there's darkness there is light. An alliance of humans and elves marched against the armies of Mordor. On the very slopes of Mount Doom, they fought for the freedom of Middle-Earth. Victory was near, but the power of the ring could not be undone. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the king, took up his father's sword. And Sauron, enemy of the free peoples of Middle-Earth, was defeated. The Ring passed to Isildur. He had the chance to destroy it and thus end Sauron permanently. But he chose to keep it. Alas, an arrogant act which led to his death... for the ring of power has a will of its own. It betrayed Isildur, to his death. And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the ring passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, the ring ensnared a new bearer. The ring was found by some little people.... Hobbits. Smeargol and Deagol. Both desired it. They fought for it, and Smeargol won. He used the ring for thieving and to learn secrets. His own people viewed him as a pest and called him Gollum for the noises he made. They cast him out. Gollum took it deep into the tunnels under the Misty Mountains, and there it consumed him. The ring gave to Gollum unnatural long life. For five hundred years it poisoned his mind; and in the gloom of Gollum's cave, it bided time. Darkness crept back into the forests of the world. Rumor grew of a shadow in the East, whispers of a nameless fear, and the Ring of Power perceived. Its time had now come. It abandoned Gollum.... seeking to return to Sauron. Luckily, someone else claimed it. A Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, of the Shire who'd come to help thirteen dwarves reclaim Erebor from the rogue dragon Smaug. Little did Bilbo know how his random actions would play a big part in history.
 * Merry: I don't know why he's so upset. It's only a couple of carrots.

Pippin: And some cabbages. And then those three bags of potatoes we lifted last week, and... and... the mushrooms, the week before.

Merry: Yes, Pippin, my point is, he's clearly over-reacting.

Jerry: Let's see how you react when someone steals your stuff for a few weeks.
 * Farmer Maggot: And stay out!
 * Sam: One of these days, you two would get us into big trouble... maybe even destroyed.

Jerry: We knew three dwarves who woulda enjoyed you. Kili and Fili enjoy pranks. And Bombur enjoys good food. Jerry: Gonna play some firework-pranks. Good. I personally would do it on Saruman. He's such a big-headed, pompous windbag. A good fright should teach him to be humbler.
 * Gandalf: Tee-hee-hee.

(he pictures Saruman's fright when they release fireworks on him and snickers)

(Gandalf laughs too)

Cirdan: I was thinking the same. Great minds do thing alike as my dad used to say.
 * Gandalf: I think you should leave the ring behind, Bilbo. Is that so hard?

Bilbo: Well, no. [frowning] Yes. Now it comes to it, I want to keep it. It's mine, I found it. It came to me!

Gandalf: There's no need to get angry, my boy.

Bilbo: Well, if I'm angry, it's your fault. It's mine. My precious.

Gandalf: Precious? It's been called that before by Gollum.

Bilbo: Oh, what business is it of yours what I do with my own things?

Gandalf: I think you've had that ring quite long enough.

Bilbo: You want it for yourself! It's mine I tell you. My precious. It's mine now. And I shall keep it. Even if I need to destroy anyone who tries to ...

Gandalf: Bilbo Baggins! If you say those words again, I would get angry. And the last thing you;d want is to anger a member of the Istari.

Bilbo: But it's mine I tell you. My precious. Mine now. And I'd keep it forever.

Gandalf: WOULD YOU SACRIFICE YOUR PEOPLE AND FAMILY FOR YOUR OWN GREED AND PRIDE AS THORIN ALMOST DID? I am not trying to rob you. I'm trying to help you. Remember Thorin and Gollum. Gollum was a Hobbit before the Ring tainted him. Give it to me or become Gollum. And Thorin.

Bilbo: Yes. I... Oh. Frodo: So it's a minus ring.
 * Gandalf: There were many Power-Rings. The minus ones were essays. The Great Rings were strong. Three for elves. Seven for dwarves. Nine for humans. I own one of the elf-rings..... Narya, the Ring of Fire. Each great ring owned a gem.

Gandalf: Wrong. Look.

(he dumps it on the fire)

Frodo: The RING!

Gandalf: Do you desire it?

Frodo: Yes. Why?

Gandalf: It's dark magic. It can taint and destroy the wearer.... as it did to Gollum as well as nine human kings who turned to the Nazgul..... the Ring Wraiths of Dark Lord Sauron.

Frodo: No. Not Bilbo. He can't become a wraith.

Gandalf: Ah. You own the Ring now.

Jerry: So this was why Bilbo looked so young.

Gandalf: For sixty years, the Ring lay quiet in Bilbo's keeping, prolonging his life, delaying old age. But no longer, Frodo.Darkness is stirring in Mordor. The Ring has awoken. It's heard its Master's call.

Frodo: But he was destroyed. Sauron was destroyed.

Gandalf: No, Frodo. Lies told to keep him hidden. The spirit of Sauron endured. His life force is bound to the Ring and the Ring survived. Sauron has returned. His monaters have multiplied. His fortress of Barad-Dur is rebuilt in the land of Mordor. Sauron needs only this Ring to cover all the lands with a second darkness. He is seeking it, seeking it, all his thought is bent on it. The Ring yearns to go home, to return to the hand of its Master. They are one, the Ring and the Dark Lord. Frodo, he must never find it or he would be immortal..... and all worlds would die.

Frodo: [gets up to hide the ring] All right. We'll put it away. We'll keep it hidden, we'll never speak of it again. No one knows it's here, do they?

Gandalf: If only. There is one other apart from us few who knew Bilbo had the Ring. I looked everywhere for the creature Gollum, but the enemy found him first. I don't know how long they tortured him, but through the endless screams and inane babble, they discerned two words:

Gollum: SHIRE! BAGGINS!

Frodo: Shire? Baggins? But that would lead them here!

Tom: [of Gollum] It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill him when he had the chance.

Gandalf: Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in revenge. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet.

Frodo: Hmmmm. I'd give the Ring to you. You;re wise and strong...

[Gandalf backs away] |

Gandalf: NOOOOOOOO!

Frodo: Take it!

Gandalf: No, Frodo.

Frodo: You must take it!

Gandalf: You cannot offer me this ring!

Frodo: I'm giving it to you! You're wise... and...

Gandalf: I said..... NOOOOOOO! Don't... tempt me Frodo! I dare not take it. Not even to keep it safe. Understand, Frodo. I would use this ring from a desire to do good... But through me, it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine.

Frodo: But you're a good man.

Gandalf: As was Thrain before his Ring tainted him. Remember Smaug and Azog. Would you risk another such crisis?

Jerry: He's right you know. The last thing we need is a repeat of the Durin Tragedy.

Frodo: Then you two would.

Sperok: Good idea. It only affects humanoids. But no. We got plenty of humanoid friends. I refuse to risk any of them being tainted and turned to monsters. I refuse to risk innocents.

Cyper: He's right. We would sooner die than sacrifice innocents.

Frodo: Oh.


 * [Gandalf snatches Sam, who was sneaking around]

Gandalf: Samwise Gamgee. Did your daddy tell you it's naughty to go eavesdropping?

Sam: I ain't been droppin' no eaves sir, honest. I was just cutting the grass under the window there, if you'll follow me.

Gandalf: A little behind time for trimming the verge, don't you think?

Sam: I heard raised voices.

Gandalf: What did you hear? And why did you listen. Speak.

Sam: N-nothing important. That is, I heard a good deal about a ring, and a Dark Lord, and something about the end of the world, but... Please, Mr. Gandalf, sir, don't hurt me.

Jerry: Please. Who do you think he is? Sauron?
 * Gandalf: My dear Frodo. Hobbits really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you.


 * Saruman: The hour is sooner than you think. Sauron's forces are already moving. The Nine have left Minas Morgul.

Gandalf: The Nine? You mean the Nazgul?

Saruman: They crossed the River Isen on Midsummer's Eve, disguised as riders in black.

Gandalf: They've reached the Shire?
 * Saruman: They would hunt down and slay the one holding the ring so they could bring it to their god. Hmmm.
 * Saruman: It is time for us to choose. A new age is upon us, a new power is rising. Nothing that Elves or Humans or Centaurs or Wizards can do will avail against it. Its enemies are utterly doomed, but its friends...

Gandalf: You are saying that we should join with Mordor? With him?

Saruman: Does that upset you? Where is the Ring Gandalf? Why do the servants of Sauron seek for it in the Shire? Have you hidden it there? We must join with Him, Gandalf. We must join with Sauron. It would be wise, my friend.

Gandalf: Tell me, "friend", when did Saruman the Wise abandon reason for madness and deception? You planned this from the start. Cirdan was right. You lied to us all. BETRAYER! (he snickers) Arwen: [draws her sword] If you want him, come and claim him......... unless you fear I'd kick your butts as Dad helped to do.
 * Jerry: Tee-hee-hee. We tricked the Ring Wraiths with the old tuck up under bed blanket thing. They fell for it.
 * Tom: Those Nazgul made Azog seem a kid. They were creepy. OOOOOO!
 * The Witch-King: Give up the Halfling, She-Elf!

Khamal: Your mockery would end with your death!

The Betrayer: You die for defying us!

The Tainted: YESSS!

The Shadow-Lord: You die, She-Elf!

The Dark Marshal: Death to....

Arwen: Shut up. Nîn o Chithaeglir lasto beth daer; Rimmo nîn Bruinen dan in Ulaer!

(the river washes the Nazgul away)

Arwen: You nine were all wet. Nice swim. Give my regards to your master.

(she looks on Frodo)

Arwen: We must get him to my dad. His Power Ring of Air can heal him. Spero: What were you thinking? We told you to stick close to the group. But you wondered away and risked Frodo.
 * Toppo: Uh....

Toppo: Come on. I had it under control.

Cyper: Really?

Toppo: Yes. I shot fire on some orcs...

Nerp: Before you got mauled by a rabid warg.

Toppo: Rabbit? It was only a warg.

Nerp: Rabid. Not rabbit. Rabies, a sickness among felines, canines, and others spread through biting. Very deadly. You coulda died if not for Elrond's Ring of Air.
 * [Arwen sneaks up to Aragorn]

Arwen: What's this? A Ranger, caught off his guard?

(they laugh)
 * Aragorn: What if I'm the same as Isilder.

Arwen: Wrong. You're stronger. I saw it. Aragorn: I thought I had wandered into a dream.
 * Arwen: Do you remember when we first met?

Arwen: Long years have passed. You did not have the cares you carry now. Do you remember what I told you?

Aragorn: You said you'd bind yourself to me, forsaking the immortal life of your people.

Arwen: And to that I hold. I would rather share one lifetime with you than face all the ages of this world alone. [hands him her pendant]  I choose a mortal life.

Aragorn: You cannot give me this.

Arwen: It is mine to give to whom I will. Like my heart. Gandalf: That wound will never completely heal. He will carry it the rest of his life.
 * Elrond: His strength returns.

Elrond: And yet, to have come so far, still bearing the Ring, the Hobbit has shown resilience to its dark power.

Gandalf: It is a burden he should never have had to bear. We can ask no more of Frodo.

Elrond: Gandalf, the enemy is moving. Sauron's forces are massing in the East; his eye is fixed on Rivendell. And Saruman, you tell me, has betrayed us. Oh. Cirdan. I shoulda listened to you. Our list of allies grows thin.

Cirdan: I knew Saruman was a betrayer. But this. HMMM.

Gandalf: Saruman's treachery runs deeper than you know. By foul craft, Saruman has crossed Orcs with goblin men. He's breeding an army in the caverns of Isengard. An army that can move in sunlight. He's forged Uruks, super-orcs. And he's forged Ologs, super-trolls which can withstand sunlight and possess more intelligence.

Elrond: This darkness cannot be concealed by the power of the Elves. We do not have the strength to withstand both Mordor and Isengard. Gandalf, the Ring cannot stay here. This darkness belongs to all of Middle-Earth. They must decide now how to end it. The time of the Elves is over, my people are leaving these shores. Who will you look to when we've gone? The Dwarves? They toil away in caverns, seeking riches. They care little for the troubles of others.

Cirdan: It is in Humans that we must place our hope.

Elrond: Humans? Humans are weak. The Blood of Numenor is all but spent, its pride and dignity forgotten. And what about the Southrons and the Variags and the Southrons?

Cirdan: Some remain on our side according to our blue-clad comrades.

Elrond: It is because of Humans, the Ring survives. I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand years ago. I was there the day the strength of Humankind failed.

(flashback starts)

Elrond: [voiceover] I led Isildur deep into the fires of Mount Doom, where the Ring was forged, the one place it could be destroyed. Isildur kept the Ring. It should have ended that day, but darkness was allowed to endure. There's no strength left in the world of Humans. They're scattered, divided, leaderless.

(Flashback end)

Gandalf: There is one who could unite them. One who could reclaim the throne of Gondor.

Elrond: He turned from that path a long time ago. These be dark times. Without a leader, there is chaos and despair.

Arwen: There is hope, Dad.
 * Saruman: The power of Isengard is at your command, Sauron, Lord of the Earth. We shall bring order to a world gone mad under the government of Humans, Elves, and Dwarves. The old world will burn in the fires of industry. Forests will fall. A new order will rise. We will drive the machine of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fist of the orc.
 * Saruman: Do you know how the Orcs first came into being? They were elves once, taken by the dark powers, tortured and altered.. A ruined and terrible form of life. Now... perfected. Uruks.
 * Saruman: [to Gandalf] You did not seriously think that a Hobbit could contend with the will of Sauron, there are none that can.
 * Elrond: Strangers from distant lands, friends of old, you have been summoned here to answer the threat of Mordor. Middle Earth stands upon the brink of destruction; none can escape it. You will unite or you will fall. Each race is bound to this, this one doom. Bring forth the ring, Frodo.

Boromir: [Frodo puts the ring on a stand for all to see] So it is true. In a dream, I saw the Eastern sky grow dark. But in the West, a pale light lingered. A voice was crying, "The doom is near at hand, Isildur's Bane is found." [reaches for the Ring]  Isildur's Bane...

Aragorn: Boromir! Control yourself.

General Seruty: Oh, dear.

Gandalf: [speaking the words engraved on the Ring] Ash Nazg Durbatuluk, Ash Nazg Gimbatul, Ash Nazg Thrakatuluk, Agh Burzum-ishi Krimpatul. [the light darkens and the air rumbles; Boromir backs away from the Ring]

Elrond: Never before has anyone dared utter words of that tongue here, in Imladris.

Gandalf: I do not ask for pardon, Master Elrond, for the Black Speech of Mordor may yet be heard in every corner of the West! The Ring is dark.

Boromir: It is a gift. A gift to the foes of Mordor. Why not use this ring? Long has my father, the Steward of Gondor, kept the forces of Mordor at bay. By the blood of our people are your lands kept safe. Give Gondor the weapon of the enemy. Let us use it against him.

Aragorn: You cannot wield it. None of us can. The One Ring answers to Sauron alone. It has no other master.

Boromir: And what would a Ranger know of this matter?

Legolas: This is no mere Ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance.

Boromir: Aragorn? This is Isildur's heir?

Legolas: And heir to the throne of Gondor

Aragorn: Sit down, Legolas.

Boromir: BAH! Gondor has no King. Gondor needs no King.

Spero: Watch your tone. Beware your arrogance.

Cyper; He's right. You need a king to survive.

Nerp: Yes. Without one, you would die.

Gandalf: Aragorn is right. We cannot use it.

Droopy: Aye.

Boromir: But...

Cirdan: This is madness to try to use it.

Boromir: No, it';s not. I do which is necessary.

General Seruty; It would only prove how vain, arrogant, self-righteous and reckless you are.

Gandalf: Did you forget how one Ring led to Thrain's fall? It tainted him. Turned him mad. Leading to him getting so much gold which led to Smaug coming. The consequences were terrible. Thrain slain by Azog. Thror slain by Sauron. And so much more tragedy. And this ring turned a Hobbit into a monster called Gollum. And think before forgetting how the Ring-Wraiths were humans tainted by nine Power-Rings. Would you sacrifice life to defend your pride?

Elrond: You have only one choice. The Ring must be destroyed.

Gimli: Then what are we just standing for?

[He strikes the ring with his hammer.... only to do no damage)

Jerry: WHOAH!

Gimli: Oh. No fair. Maybe you lot can....

Palandano: If only. The ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Gloin, by any craft that we here possess.

Droopy: The ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade. The ring must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came. One of you must do this.

Boromir: One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There there that does not sleep. The great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, ash, and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten-thousand men could you do this. It is folly.

Legolas: Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond has said? The ring must be destroyed!

Gimli: And I suppose you think you're the one to do it?

Boromir: And if we fail, what then? What happens when Sauron takes back what is his? I say we use it to destroy him.

Elrodn: I refuse to let you become another Sauron.
 * General Seruty: It was long ago.

(flashbacks start)

General Seruty: Cezoz's mum and dad lead their people well. Sibling figures to me. But Mizo was a rogue. He was a usurper who claimed the throne when they died. He claimed to be lord protector. And then, one by one, all the great lords and ladies who had known the king and queen, died or disappeared. Not by accident, either. Mizo weeded them out. He had Belop and Upos were shot with arrows on a hunting party and framed Gondor for the crime. Pok, Quop, Zio, Typ, Uz, and Uk he sent to fight dragons and giants on the Northern frontier till one by one they fell. Azea and Edpo as well as Youp and Qol he had beheaded for treason on a false charge. Uop and Ziy he shut up as madmen for trying to bust him. And finally he persuaded the remaining to sail away and look for new lands beyond the Eastern Ocean, and, as he intended, they never came back. And he, assisted by his conspirators led by General Kezok, claimed the crown.

(flashback ends)

Jerry: Oh, dear. Such a tragic drama. (flashbacks start)
 * Karok: Hmmmm.

Karok: Our people, the Southrons, roamed the Southern Lands called Haradigm. Dwelling on the plains, jungles, deserts, and swamps. Our tribes squabbling over resources as vultures, hyenas, jackals, storks, flies, and crows do over a dead gazelle. Many of us blamed Gondor due to past problems with them. Sauron sent his messenger who many call the Mouth of Sauron. He spoke to us.... promising us wealth, resources and power as well as revenge on Gondor if we join. My dad refused. As did Kepo's dad. But some agreed..... led by Karneko, chief to a rival chief. He and his tribe along with a few more joined Sauron. My dad decided we should go to warn you lot and help you stop them.

(flashback end)

Karok: And so here we be. Cirdan: The dwarves woulda fallen to Smaug and Azog, and Sauron woulda claimed the Ring. But you're old. Frodo is young. As you were.
 * Bilbo: I should go. It's my fault. I brought the Ring out. If I'd left it be....
 * Galadriel: For you, Samwise Gamgee, Elven rope, made of hithline.

Sam: Thank You M'Lady... Have you ran out of those nice shiny daggers?
 * Galadriel: [to Frodo] I give you the light of Eärendil, our most beloved star. May it be a light for you in dark places, when all other lights go out.
 * Galadriel: [to Fellowship] The Quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little, and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains while the Company is true.
 * Galadriel: I know what it is you saw, for it is also in my mind. [telepathically]  It is what will come to pass, If you should fail. The Fellowship is breaking, it has already begun. He will try to take the Ring, you know of whom I speak. One by one, it will destroy them.

Frodo: [telepathically] If you ask it of me, I will give you the One Ring.

Galadriel: You offer it to me freely? I do not deny that my heart has greatly desired this. [starts to grow dark]  In the place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Morn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair! [she stops]  I have passed the test. I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel.

Frodo: I cannot do this alone.

Galadriel: You are a Ring-bearer, Frodo. To bear a Ring of Power is to be alone. [pulls out her hand] This is Nenya, the Ring of Adamant. And I am it's keeper. This task was appointed to you, and if you do not find a way, no one will.

Frodo: I know what I must do, it's just that... I'm afraid to do it.

Galadriel: Even the smallest person can change the course of the future. Bilbo proved so on the quest for Erebor.

Arwen: She's right. When all seems lost, a few brave souls can save all we ever knew. Jerry: Aww.
 * Hmm.
 * Gandalf: Always remember, Frodo, the Ring is trying to get back to its master. It wants to be found.
 * Gloin: Remember, Gimli. Keep those weapons clean and well-sharpened. And always remember to look after your beard and to eat plenty and to...

Gimli: DAD! You're embarrassing me before them.

Gloin: Oh. Am I?

Jerry: Oh.
 * Saruman: [voiceover] Moria... You fear to go into those mines. The Dwarves delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dum... shadow and flame.
 * [on the mountain]

Legolas: There is a fell voice on the air.

Gandalf: It's Saruman!

[avalanches start]

Aragorn: He's trying to bring down the mountain!

Tom: Yikes! Gandalf, we must turn back!

Gandalf: No!

(the dragons use their fire-breathes to melt the avalanche)

Spero: Close call. Phew.
 * Aragorn: Boromir. Stop trying to sneak the Ring away or else.

Pyo: If you harm Frodo and steal the ring, I'd roast you bald.

Jerry: Whoah. I hardly pictured her getting this mad.

Sammek: You hardly know her as we do. She's far from easy to tick. But angering a dragon is as dangerous as playing with fire. (he wipes a tear
 * Jerry: Alas poor Balin. We knew him well. A great dwarf-lord. Wise, noble, kind, jolly, and honorable. Yep. A great pal. Now, here he lies in this. Dead. He died a hero for his people.
 * Boromir: Oh, terrific. They got a cave-troll.

Tom: Crumbs.
 * Boromir: What is this new devilry?

Gandalf: A Balrog. A demon of the ancient world. This foe is beyond any of you. Run!


 * [Gandalf is standing on the bridge, in front of the Balrog]}

Gandalf: Balrog! I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Anor. The dark fire will not avail you, Flame of Udun! Go back to the shadow. You shall not pass! THOU SHALL NOT PASS!
 * [Frodo wanders in the woods. Boromir comes up behind him, gathering wood]

Boromir: None of us should wander alone, you least of all. Frodo? I know you suffer, I see it day by day. Are you sure you do not suffer needlessly? There are other ways, Frodo,

Frodo: I know what you would say, and it would seem like wisdom, but for the warning in my heart.

Boromir: Warning? Against what? We are all afraid, Frodo. But to let that fear drive us to destroy what hope we have... don't you see? That is madness!

Frodo: There is no other way.

Boromir: I ask only for the strength to defend my people! [approaches Frodo]  If you would but lend me the Ring...

Frodo: [backs away] No!

Boromir: Why do you recoil? I am no thief.

Frodo: You are not yourself.

Boromir: What chance do you think you have? They will find you. They will take the Ring. And you will beg for death before the end! Give it to me! True-hearted Men, they will not be tainted. We of Minas Tirith have been staunch through long years of trial. We do not desire the power of wizard-lords, only strength to defend ourselves, strength in a just cause. And behold! In our need chance brings to light the Ring of Power. It is a gift, I say; a gift to the foes of Mordor. It is mad not to use it, to use the power of the Enemy against him. The fearless,, these alone will achieve victory. What could not a warrior do in this hour, a great leader? What could not Aragorn do? Or if he refuses, why not Boromir? The Ring would give me power of Command. How I would drive the hosts of Mordor, and all men would flock to my banner!

Frodo: I won't let you become another Gollum or Thrain or Sauron!
 * (Pyo breathes fire, burning Boromir's head black)

Pyo; You hurt Frodo, you hypocritical hog!

(she tail whacks him down)

Cyper: Shame on you. Gandalf would be ashamed by you.


 * (Merry and Pippin run along)

Merry: Frodo!

(the pair collide with Uruks)

(the Uruks roar)

Captain Ap: Halflings!!!

(he draws his sword and his club)

Tuffy: Boy. The Uruks look fiercer and uglier.

Captain Ap: Seize them!

(Toppo breathes fire but Uruk Defenders block with shields and poke with spears)

Toppo: Oh, man. Nerp was right. I shoulda thought before acting.
 * (after freeing them)

Kera: You two can't stay out of trouble for one second, can you?
 * Boromir: Aragorn. You were right about the Ring. I shoulda listened to you. I tried to steal it. It turned me mad. I deserve to die for my betrayal.  Save Minas Tirith.

Aragorn: I shall. And you already won.... more than you know. Few succeeded in which you did. Samwise: Quiet, you! [to Frodo] It's hopeless! Every monster in Mordor's gonna hear this racket! Let's just tie him up and leave him.
 * Gollum: [Sam has him tethered with the Elven rope] IT BURNS! IT BURNS US! It freezes! Nasty Elves twisted it. TAKE IT OFF US!

Gollum: NO! That would kill us! Kill us! [groans and writhes on the rocks]Sam: It's no more than you deserve!

Frodo: Maybe he does deserve to die. But now that I see him, I do pity him.

Gollum: [gets up, trying to be polite] We be nice to them, if they be nice to us. Take it off us! We swears to do what you wants! We swears...

Samwise: There's no promise you can make that I can trust.

Sammec: Why? Coz he's different? He's a Hobbit as are you.

Gollum: We swears to serve the master of the precious. We'll swear on... on the precious! Gollum, gollum.

Frodo: The Ring is treacherous. It will hold you to your word.

Gollum: Yes... on the precious. On the precious.

Samwise: [brief silence] I DON'T BELIEVE YOU! [Gollum tries to flee, but Sam pulls him back by the rope] Get down! I said DOWN! He's trying to trick us! If we let him go, he'll throttle us in our sleep!

Sammec: You lie to yourself coz you fear him for his looks.

Frodo: You know the way into Mordor?

Gollum: [afraid] Yes...

Frodo: You've been there before?

Gollum: Yes...

Frodo: Lead us there. Gollum: What's taters, precious? What's taters, eh?
 * Sam: What we need is a few good taters.
 * Sam: What we need is a few good taters.
 * Sam: What we need is a few good taters.
 * Sam: What we need is a few good taters.
 * Sam: What we need is a few good taters.
 * Sam: What we need is a few good taters.
 * Sam: What we need is a few good taters.
 * Sam: What we need is a few good taters.
 * Sam: What we need is a few good taters.
 * Sam: What we need is a few good taters.

Sam: *Po-tay-toes!* Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew... Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish. [Gollum makes a noise of disgust while sticking his tongue out]

Sam: Even you couldn't say no to that.
 * Frodo: He said your life was a sad story.

Gollum: They do not see what lies ahead, when Sun has faded and Moon is dead.

Frodo: [in front of Gollum] You were not so very different from a Hobbit once, were you?

[Gollum looks sad and lost in thought]

Frodo: Smeagol.

Gollum: [looks up at Frodo; genuinely surprised] What did you call me?

Frodo: That was your name once... a long time ago. Wasn't it

Gollum: [overcome with emotion] My name... [suddenly remember and smiles in recognition] Sme... Smeagol.
 * Éowyn: Your son is badly wounded, my lord. Will you not go to him? Uncle?

Éomer: He was ambushed by Orcs. If we don't defend our country, Saruman will take it by force.

Gríma Wormtongue: That is a lie. Saruman the White has ever been our friend and ally.

Théoden: Gríma... Gríma..

Éomer: Orcs are roaming freely across our lands. Unchecked, unchallenged, killing at will. Uruks and Ologs bearing the White Hand of Saruman. [tosses an Orc helmet at Théoden's feet)

Gríma Wormtongue: Why do you lay these troubles on an already troubled mind? Can you not see your uncle is wearied by your malcontent? Your warmongering?

Éomer: Warmongering? You lying, hypocritical trickster. [grabs Gríma by the throat] How long is it since Saruman bought you? What was the promised price, Gríma? When all the Men are dead, you'll take your share of the treasure? [Gríma glances at Éowyn as she leaves the room] Too long have you watched my sister! Too long have you haunted her steps!

[Guards seize Éomer from behind, forcing him to release Gríma]

Gríma Wormtongue: You see much, Éomer, son of Éomund. Too much. [guards begin to drag Éomer out] You are here forth banished from the Kingdom of Rohan and all its domains, under pain of death.

Éomer: You have no authority here! Your orders mean nothing!

Gríma Wormtongue: This order does not come from me. It comes from the King. [holds up a sealed decree] He signed it this morning.
 * Treebeard: Little Orcs! Bru-ra-hoom!

Pippin Took: It's talking, Merry! The tree is talking.

Treebeard: Tree?! I am no tree! I am an Ent.

Kera: A tree-herder. A shepherd of the forest!

Toppo: Don't talk to it, Merry! Don't encourage it!

Treebeard: Treebeard, some call me.

Pippin Took: And, whose side are you on?

Treebeard: Side? I am on nobody's side, because nobody is on my side, little Orc. Few care for the woods. Wizards do. But humans and elves and dwarves? Well... and Orcs.

Merry : We're not Orcs! We're Hobbits!

Treebeard: Hobbits? Mmm... never heard of a Hobbit before. Sounds like Orc mischief to me! They come with fire, they come with axes! Gnawing, biting, breaking, hacking, burning! Destroyers and usurpers, curse them!

Merry Brandybuck: No! You don't understand! We're Hobbits! Halflings! Shire-folk!

Kera: I vouch for them. I'm Kera the Bronze.

Treebeard: Ah. I know your sort. Be they orcs?

Kera: Hobbits. When did orcs develope hair on feet? And why would this one, an Uruk, try to slay him and call him betrayer?

Treebeard: Good point.

Eowyn: The women of this country learned long ago, those without swords can still die upon them. I fear neither death nor pain.
 * Aragorn: You have some skill with a blade.
 * Aragorn: You have some skill with a blade.
 * Aragorn: You have some skill with a blade.
 * Aragorn: You have some skill with a blade.

Aragorn: What do you fear, my lady?

Eowyn: A cage. To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them and all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire.

Aragorn: You are a daughter of kings, a shield maiden of Rohan.
 * Gimli: It's true you don't see many Dwarf-women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for Dwarf-men.

Aragorn: [whispering to Eowyn] It's the beards.

Gimli: And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no Dwarf-women, and that Dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground!

[Eowyn laughs]

Gimli: Which is, of course, ridiculous.
 * Sam: Hey, Stinker! Don't go getting 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; it's all he cares about.

Sammek: You have no idea what it did to him... what it's still doing to him.

Frodo: I want to help him, Sam.

Sam: Why?

Frodo: Because I have to believe he can come back.

Sam: You can't save him, Mr. Frodo.

Frodo: [snaps] What do you know about it? Nothing!... I'm sorry, Sam. I don't know why I said that.

Sam: I do. It's the ring. You can't take your eyes off it; I've seen you. You're not eating. You barely sleep. It's taken ahold of you, Mr. Frodo. You have to fight it.

Sammek: Rich from you. You want it. You got the look on you too. Besides, Smeagol...

Sam: Gollum's a monster.

Sammek: No. You are. You would murder him in cold blood. Such a crime would taint your soul. And I read it was forbidden by Hobbit-law. To do so is to be cast out from the Shire.

Sam: I do which is right.

Sammek: The lie many said to justify genocide and fascism.

Jerry: Yes. You lie, Sam. You seek the Ring.

Tom: Yes. You do.

Sammek: And if you say such lies to justify your actions, I might get angry. Aragorn: Where are they?
 * White Wizard: You are tracking the footsteps of two young Hobbits.

White Wizard: They passed this way, the day before yesterday. They met someone they did not expect. Does that comfort you?

Aragorn: Who are you? Show yourself! [the White Wizard reveals himself to be Gandalf] It cannot be!

Spero: It is.

Cyper: HIM!?!

Legolas: Forgive me. I mistook you for Saruman.

Gandalf: I am Saruman. Or rather, Saruman as he should have been.

Aragorn: You fell.

Gandalf: Through fire and water. From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak on the Misty Mountains, I fought with Duri's Balrogh. Until at last, I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin upon the mountainside. Darkness took me. And I strayed out of thought and time. Stars wheeled overhead and everyday was as long as a life-age of the earth. But it was not the end. I felt life in me again. I've been sent back until my task is done.

Aragorn: Gandalf...

Gandalf: Gandalf? Yes... that's what they used to call me. Gandalf the Grey. That was my name.

Gimli: [surprised] Gandalf!

Gandalf: I am Gandalf the White. And I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide.

(he nods)

Gimli: Oh...

Legolas: Oh, my...

Aragorn: We feared we....

(he nods)

Gandalf: We must go.

Gimli: Are we going to leave this poor little Hobbits here in this horrid, dark, dank, ugly....[reacts to the sound of the trees] I mean...charming, quite charming, forest?

Frep : You;re unable to resist insulting trees, you racist.

Gandalf: It was more than mere chance that brought Merry and Pippin to Fangorn. A great power has been sleeping here for many long years. The coming of Merry and Pippin will be like the falling of small stones that starts an avalanche in the mountains.

Aragorn: And one thing you have not changed, my friend.

Gandalf: Hmm?

Aragorn: You still speak in riddles.

Gandalf: A thing is about to happen that has not happened since the elder days. The Ents are going to wake up...and find that they are strong.

Gimli: Strong?! Oh, that's good.

Gandalf: So stop your fretting, Master Dwarf! Merry and Pippin are quite safe! In fact, they are far safer than you are about to be!

Gimli: [to himself] This new Gandalf's more grumpy than the old one.
 * Legolas: That is one of the Mearas, unless my eyes are cheated by some spell.

Gandalf: Shadowfax. He is the lord of all horses and has been my friend through many dangers.
 * Pippin Took: I had the loveliest dream last night. There was this large barrel full of pipe-weed. And we smoked all of it. And then... you were sick. I'd give anything for a whiff of Old Toby.

Merry Brandybuck: [hearing a tree moan] Did you hear that? [hearing it again] There it is again! Something's not right here, not right at all. [Pippin stands up and groans, sounding much like a moaning tree] You just said something...treeish!

Pippin Took: No, I didn't, I was just stretching. [he 'groans' again, growing slightly]

Merry Brandybuck: You're taller!

Pippin Took: Who?

Merry Brandybuck: You!

Pippin Took: Than what?

Merry Brandybuck: Than me!

Pippin Took: I've always been taller than you!

Merry Brandybuck: Pippin, you big fibber, everyone knows you as a fibber. I'm the tall one, you're the short one.

Pippin Took: Please, Merry. You're, what, three foot six? At the most? Whereas me, I'm pushing three-seven. [groans and grows more noticeably] Three-eight! [drinks more water]

Merry Brandybuck: Three foot eight? [realizing] You did something. OOOOOOOOOOOOO. The spring. MINE!

(they fight over it)

Kera: You two. Stop it. You;re stealing.

(the tree grabs them_

Toppo: Oh, my gosh!

Treebeard: Put 'em down!

(the tree obeys_)

Treebeard: Kera warned me about you two. You two stole. Naughty.

Merry: I wanted to be taller.

Treebeard: Souls are more important than looks. The trees had become more rebellious and aggressive. Hmmm. There are too few of us now. Too few of us Ents left to manage them.

Pippin Took: Why are there so few of you, when you've lived so long? Are there Ent children?

Treebeard: Bru-ra-hoom. There have been no Entings for a terrible long count of years.

Merry: Why is that?

Treebeard: We lost the Entwives.

Pippin: Oh, I'm sorry. How did they die?

Treebeard: Die? No. We lost them, and now we cannot find them. I don't suppose you've seen Entwives in the Shire?

Merry: Can't say that I have. You, Pip?

Pippin: Uh, uh.
 * Gríma Wormtongue: My Lord, Gandalf the Grey is coming. He is a herald of woe.

Gandalf: The courtesy of your hall has gone sour, Théoden King.

Gríma Wormtongue: He is not welcome here.

Théoden: [weakly] Why should I welcome you, Gandalf Stormcrow?

Gríma Wormtongue: A just question, my liege. This conjurer is trouble.

Gandalf: Rich from you, you hypocritical trickster. Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth! I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm. [points his staff at Grima]

Gríma Wormtongue: [Terrified] The staff! [To guards] I TOLD YOU TO TAKE THE WIZARD'S STAFF!

[The guards attempt to restrain the group, and a fight breaks out; Gandalf approaches Théoden]

Gandalf: Théoden! Son of Thengel! Too long have you sat in the shadows.

Gimli: [pinning down Gríma] I would stay still if I were you!

Gandalf: [to Théoden] Harken to me! I release you from this spell... [Attempts to remove Saruman's influence, seemingly to no avail]

Saruman: You got no power, Gandalf the Grey.

Eowyn: I knew it. Wormtongue was his servant.

Captain Pok: You deceived us, Wormtongue. You lied to us all. You played us!

Gandalf : [removes his grey cloak, stunning Théoden with the white robe beneath] I will draw you, Saruman, as poison is drawn from a wound! [Casts a spell, knocking Théoden]

Aragorn: [stops Éowyn from rushing to Théoden's side] Stop

Saruman: [Speaking through Théoden] If I go...Théoden dies!

Gandalf the White: [Casts another spell] You lie! Your tricks fail on me!

Saruman: [Speaking through Théoden] Rohan is mine!

Gandalf: [Casts another spell] Begone! [Théoden lunges in anger, but Gandalf successfully casts Saruman's influence out. Slowly, he becomes himself again. Éowyn rushes to his side.]

Éowyn: Uncle?

Théoden: I...I recognize your face. Éowyn. Gandalf?

Gandalf: Breathe the free air again, my friend.

Théoden: [stands up from the throne] Dark have been my dreams of late. [looks at his hands]

Gandalf : Your fingers would remember their old strength better...if they grasped your sword.

[Gríma's treachery is revealed and he is thrown out of the hall]

Gríma Wormtongue: [pleading as he crawls away] I've only ever served you, my lord!

Théoden: [furious, advancing on Gríma with his sword in hand] You lied to me all along to serve Saruman! You slew my son.

Gríma Wormtongue: [pleading] Send me not from your sight! I can make it up to you.

Theoden: Your death would suffice.

[he raises his sword to kill when Aragorn intervenes]

Aragorn: No, my lord! No, my lord. Let him go. Enough blood has been spilled on his account.

Gandalf: If you give to revenge, Saruman woulda won.

[Aragorn offers his hand to Gríma, who spits on it in insult]

Gríma Wormtongue: [pushing his way through the crowd] Get out of my way!

Háma: Hail, Théoden King!

[The people of Rohan bow before Théoden, who looks around him anxiously]

Théoden: Where is Théodred? Where is my son?
 * Treebeard: [after seeing the torn-down forest around Isengard] These trees were my friends.

(he sobs)

Merry: Oh.

Azok: I'm sorry.

Kera: I'm so sorry.

(Treebeard looks on tracks leading to Isengard... fury shown as he realizes the truth)

Treebeard: Saruman did this! He played me! A wizard should know better!

[loud yell]

Treebeard: There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of men for this treachery.

Pippin: Look, the trees! They're moving!

Merry: Where are they going?

Treebeard: They have business with the Orcs. My business is with Isengard tonight, with rock and stone.

[Ents emerge from the woods, following Treebeard]

Treebeard: Hroom, hm, come, my brethren. The Ents are going to war. It is likely that we go to our doom. The last march of the Ents.
 * Saruman: Wild wood demons! I hope this is a warm enough welcome for you!

(he shoots fireballs from his staff.... only to be blocked by Gandalf)

Azok: So much for the great Saruman. Merry: [through a mouthful of food] Mm. Green Dragon.
 * Pippin: I feel like I'm back at the Green Dragon.

Pippin: A mug of ale in my hand, putting my feet up on a settle after a hard day's work.

Merry: Only, you've never done a hard day's work.

[They laugh; Gandalf, Droopy, Spike, Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli ride up. Merry stands and gives an exaggerated bow]

Merry: Welcome, my lords, to Isengard!

Gimli: You young rascals! A merry hunt you've led us on, and now we find you... feasting and... and *smoking.*

Nerp: You scared the heck out of us.

Spike: We thought they devoured youi!

Pippin: We are sitting on a field of victory enjoying a few well-earned comforts.

[Merry blows a smoke ring]

Pippin: The salted pork is particularly good.

Gimli: [eagerly] Salted pork?

Gandalf: [exasperated] Hobbits.

Merry: We're under orders from Treebeard, who has taken over management of Isengard.

Treebeard: [as they walk toward the tower] Hroom, young Master Gandalf! I'm relieved that you've come. Wood and water, stock and stone I can master, but there's a wizard to manage here. Locked his tower.
 * Kera: Saruman.

Saruman: You have fought many wars and slain many men, Theoden King, and made peace afterwards. Can we not take council as we once did, my old friend? Can we not have peace? I can save you from ruin. Yes.

Gimli: By enslaving?

Legolas; He lies.

Spero: He would use you.

Cyper: He lies.

Saruman: Rich from you few. You dragons. Did you think I forgot Smaug? And you, elf. Your dad was an iron-fisted megalomaniac, blinded by pride. And you, dwarf. Your kings were arrogant and greedy in hoarding treasures.... which led to Smaug coming. Ignore these tricksters, Theoden. We can make peace. Yes.

Theoden: We shall have peace... when you pay for your crimes, you liar and tainter of souls. You who betrayed your own kind. We shall have peace, when you answer for the burning of the Westfold, and the children that lie dead there! We shall have peace, when the lives of the soldiers whose bodies were hewn even as they died against the Hornberg, are avenged! When you hang from a gibbit for the sport of your own crows...! We shall have peace.

Saruman: Gibbits and crows! Typical of humans! What do *you* want, Gandalf Greyhame? Let me guess. The key of Orthanc? Or perhaps the keys of Barad-Dur itself? Along with the crowns of the seven kings and the rods of the five wizards?

Gandalf: Your treachary has already cost many lives. Thousands more are now at risk, but you could save them Saruman. You were deep in the enemy's council.

Saruman: So you have come here for information. I have some for you. [he reveals his palantir] Something festers in the heart of Middle-Earth. Something that you have failed to see. But the Great Eye has seen it. Even now he presses his advantage. His attack will come soon. You're all going to die. But you know this don't you, Gandalf? [sneering] You cannot think that this Ranger will ever sit upon the throne of Gondor. This savage, crept from the shadows, will never be crowned king. You really believe Gondor would accept peace with Easterlings and Southrons? Bah! They're different. Savages. And you Gimli. You honestly think your people can redeem? It was your people who helped Sauron. Your king, Thrain, was so obsessed with gold and power.

Gimli: Sauron tainted him through his ring.

Saruman: Wrong. The greed was there. All Sauron did was speed up the process. Thrain in his greed and arrogance sacrificed his own people to Smaug. And Thorin was ready to do the same. You few. How would girls know of war? Well?

Tauriel: Watch it, you chauvinistic jerk!

Gandalf: They proved more of a man than you did.

Saruman: Tell me... what words of comfort did you give the halfling before you sent him to his doom? And you, Spero. You claim to be king even after failing to rescue your dad from Smaug.

Spero: He chose to sacrifice his life.

Saruman: Proof on compassion being a weakness.

Spero: No.l Compassion is a strength.

Saruman: The words of a pacifist. The path that you have set him on can only lead to death.

Azok: You lie.

Saruman: No. I speak truth. You just lack the courage to accept the truth.

Treebeard: You lie. You played me. I trusted you.

Saruman: Life's number 1 lesson. Trust no one.

Kera; He lies. You can trust us.

Treebeard; Yes. These noble humanoids earned my trust.... not with word but with deed. More than you, Saruman.


 * Theoden: Grima, you are not always as you are, now. You were once a man of Rohan. Come down.

Saruman: A man of Rohan? What is the house of Rohan, but a glorified barn where Brigands drink in the reek and the rats roll on the floor with the dogs? Victory at Helm's Deep does not belong to you Théoden, Horse Master. You are a Lesser Son of Greater Sires.
 * (Azok stabs Saruman with the spear)

Azok: See this? Forged from parts from two of you victims who you betrayed and tormented. You betrayed more than just us. You betrayed yourself.

Saruman: Damn you... HUMANS!

(he falls... dead before he'd fallen.)
 * Aragorn: Let the Lord of the Black Land come forth! Let justice be done upon him!

The Mouth of Sauron: My master, Sauron the Great, bids thee welcome. Is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me?

Gandalf: We do not come to treat with Sauron, faithless and accursed. Tell your master this: the armies of Mordor must disband. He is to depart these lands, never to return.

The Mouth of Sauron: Ahh, old Greybeard. I have a token I was bidden to show thee. [Pulls out Frodo's mithril vest and throws it at them]

Pippin: [whispers] Frodo...

Gandalf: Silence.

Merry: No!

Gandalf: Silence!

The Mouth of Sauron: The halfling was dear to thee, I see. Know that he suffered greatly at the hands of his host. Who would've thought one so small could endure so much pain? And he did, Gandalf, he did. Yessss!
 * The Mouth of Sauron: Don't assault the messenger. Or the messenger will kill you!

Jerry: No need to be cranky, Big Tooth.


 * Pippin: Gandalf, forgive me.

Gandalf: Look at me. What did you see?

Pippin: A tree. There was a white tree in a courtyard of stone. It was dead. The city was burning.

Gandalf: Minas Tirith? Is that what you saw?

Pippin: I saw... I saw him. I can hear his voice in my head.

Gandalf: What did you tell him? Speak!

Pippin: He asked me my name. I didn't answer. He hurt me.

Gandalf: What did you tell him about Frodo and the Ring?

Pippin: Nothing.

Droopy: Really?

Gandalf: There was no lie in Pippin's eyes. A fool... but an honest fool, he remains. He told Sauron nothing of the Ring. We've been strangely fortunate. Pippin saw in the Palantir a glimpse of the enemy's plan. Sauron moves to strike Minas Tirith.


 * Gandalf: [to Pippin] Now, listen carefully. Lord Denethor is Boromir's father. To give him news of his beloved son's death would be most unwise. And do not mention Frodo, or the Ring. And say nothing of Aragorn either. In fact, it's better if you don't speak at all, Peregrin Took.

Pippin: [kneeling] I offer you my service, such as it is, in payment of this debt.

Denethor: This is my first command to you. How did you escape, and my son did not, so mighty a man as he was?

Pippin: The mightiest man may be slain by one arrow... and Boromir was pierced by many. And the archers were Uruks. Bigger and smarter than usual Orcs. Led by a warchief and a captain.

Gandalf: Get up. My Lord, there will be a time to greive for Boromir, but it is not now. War is coming. The enemy is on your doorstep. As steward, you are charged with the defense of this city. Where are Gondor's armies? You still have friends. You are not alone in this fight. Send word to Theoden of Rohan. Light the Beacons.

Jerry: You tend to worry too much. But this is one time you're right. I fear he's gonna do something rash whcih could endanger life.
 * Tom: Ever since we brought Saruman's crystal ball here, Denethor has become obsessed with it and begun ranting. He's gone loony, I tell you.
 * Denethor: My sons are spent. My line has ended. Rohan has deserted us. Theoden's betrayed me. Abandon your posts! Flee, flee for your lives!

[He turns around, and Gandalf knocks him out with his staff]

Gandalf: Ignore the cowardly twit. Prepare for battle!


 * Sam: [to Faramir] You want to know what happened to Boromir? Do you want to know why your brother died? He tried to take the Ring from Frodo, after swearing an oath to protect him! He tried to kill him! The Ring drove your brother mad. It would do the same to you.
 * Gandalf: Faramir!

[Running after Faramir]

Gandalf: Faramir! Your father's will has turned to madness. Do not throw away your life so rashly.

Faramir: Where does my allegiance lie if not here? This is the city of the men of Numenor. I would gladly give my life to defend her beauty, her memory... her wisdom...
 * Gandalf: Your father loves you, Faramir. He will remember it before the end.


 * Denethor: You think you are wise, Mithrandir. Yet for all your subtleties, you have not wisdom. Do you think the eyes of the White Tower are blind? I have seen more than you know. With your left hand you would use me as a shield against Mordor, and with your right you would seek to supplant me. I know who rides with Theoden of Rohan. Oh, yes. Word has reached my ears of this Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and I tell you now, I will not bow to this Ranger from the North, last of a ragged house long bereft of lordship!
 * Gandalf: Go back to the abyss! Fall into nothingness that awaits you and your master!

The Witch King: Do you not know death when you see it, old man? This is my hour! Lieutenant-General : WHAT?!?
 * Dain Ironfoot; Bring it on..... you goofy-whiskered, horn-headed, sushi-addicted, pony-riding,
 * slipper wieldin', clype-dreep-bachle, gether-uping-blate-maw, bleathering, gomreil, jessie, oaf-lookin', scooner, nyaff, plookie, shan, soy-faced, shilpit, mim-moothed, snivelin', worm-eyed, hotten-blaugh, vile-stoochie, stupid, cowardly rock-heads!
 * General Kezok: Now you die.

General Seruty: Think again.

(he uses his spear to break a wheel from Kezok's chariot)

General Kezok: MY CHARIOT!

(he falls from his chariot)

(they sw

ord-fight) Eowyn: Tough. I'm no man.
 * The Witch King: No man can slay us!

Azok: Nor me.

Kazok: Nor me.

Kera: Nor me.
 * Kera: Frodo. Listen to me. The Ring has tainted you as it did to Gollum. You must drop it in the lava. The future of life depends on it.
 * Kera: Frodo. Listen to me. The Ring has tainted you as it did to Gollum. You must drop it in the lava. The future of life depends on it.
 * Kera: Frodo. Listen to me. The Ring has tainted you as it did to Gollum. You must drop it in the lava. The future of life depends on it.

Gryop: Look out, Kera. He's crazed.

Kera: Frodo.

Frodo: IT'S MINE! MY PRECIOUS!
 * Galadriel: The power of the Three Rings is ended. The time has come... for the dominion of Men.

Elrond: The Sea calls us home.

Bilbo: [smiling] I think I'm... quite ready for another adventure!

Gandalf: It is time, Frodo.

Sam: What does he mean?

Frodo: We set out to save the Shire, Sam. And it has been saved... But not for me.

Sam: [weeping] You don't mean that. You can't leave.

Frodo: [hands Sam the Red Book] The last pages are for you, Sam.

 * Jerry saying 'Alas poor Balin...... I knew him well'.... a rephrase of a well-known quote from William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
 * Galadriel foretelling Samwise's betrayal is similar to Jesus doing so about Peter on The Bible.
 * The music which plays on when the Fellowship's Southron-allies come to help fight Sauron's Southrons is similar to Return of the Lion from The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008).
 * Karok's fight with Karnonak is similar to the historical fight of King Naresuan the Great, a Siamese monarch who fought Burma.
