Legolas: Hurry! Frodo and Sam have reached the eastern shore. [Aragorn does not move] Legolas: You mean not to follow them. Aragorn: Frodo's fate is no longer in our hands. Gimli: Then it has all been in vain. The fellowship has failed. Aragorn: Not if we hold true to each other. [pause] Aragorn: We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have strength left. Leave all that can be spared behind. We travel light. Let's hunt some Orc. Gimli: YES!

Galadriel: The one ring to rule them all.

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. We are all bound to this one fate, this one doom. Bring forth the ring Frodo. [Frodo puts the ring on a stand for all to see] 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. Aragorn: Haavan Da, Legolas. Boromir: Gondor has no King, Gondor needs no King. Gandalf: Aragorn is right. We cannot use it. Elrond: You have only one choice. The ring must be destroyed. Gimli: Then what are we waiting for. [unsuccessfully tries to chop the ring in half with his axe] Elrond: The Ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Gloin, by any craft that we here possess. The Ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade. It 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 is evil there that does not sleep, and 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 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? Gimli: I will be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an Elf. Never trust an Elf!

Galadriel: I know what it is you saw, for it is also in my mind. [telepathically] Galadriel: 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] Galadriel: 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] Galadriel: 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] Galadriel: This is Nenya, the Ring of Adament. 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.

Aragorn: Boromir! Give the Ring to Frodo.
10
Bilbo: My dear Bagginses and Boffins, Tooks and Brandybucks, Grubbs, Chubbs, Hornblowers, Bolgers, Bracegirdles and Proudfoots! Everard Proudfoot: Proudfeet!
11
Galadriel: We shall not meet again, Elessar.
12
Boromir: What is this new devilry? Gandalf: A Balrog. A demon of the ancient world. This foe is beyond any of you. Run.
13
Gandalf: Now, let's see... Ithildin. It mirrors only starlight and moonlight. [doors are revealed] Gandalf: It reads: The doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak friend and enter. Merry: What d'you suppose that means? Gandalf: Oh, it's quite simple. If you are a friend, you speak the password, and the doors will open.
14
Frodo: 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 judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet, for good or ill before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.
15
Bilbo: I'm old, Gandalf. I know I don't look it but I'm beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel thin... sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread. I need a holiday. A very long holiday. And I don't expect I shall return. In fact I mean not to.
16
Boromir: Frodo... Where is Frodo? Aragorn: I let Frodo go. Boromir: Then you did what I could not.
17
Frodo: You're late. Gandalf: A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.
18
Gandalf: There is only one Lord of the Ring, only one who can bend it to his will. And he does not share power.
19
Galadriel: The world is changed... I feel it in the water... I feel it in the earth... I smell it in the air... Much that once was, is lost... For none now live, who remember it... It 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 race of men, 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. And into this Ring he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One Ring to rule them all.
20
Saruman: Against the power of Mordor there can be no victory.
21
Bilbo: I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
22
Gandalf: Confound it all, Samwise Gamgee. Have you been eavesdropping? Sam: I haven'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 late for trimming the verge, don't you think? Sam: I heard raised voices. Gandalf: What did you hear? 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 nothing important. Please, Mr. Gandalf, sir, don't hurt me. Don't turn me into anything... unnatural.
23
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. There are other forces at work, Frodo, than the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the ring. In which case you also were meant to have it, and that is an encouraging thought.
24
Gandalf: Keep it secret. Keep it safe.
25
Saruman: 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?
26
Gandalf: To the bridge of Khazad-dum.
27
Galadriel: 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 half thousand years the Ring passed out of all knowledge. Until when chance came, it ensnared a new bearer. The Ring came to the creature Gollum, who took it deep into the tunnels of the Misty Mountains. And there, it consumed him. The Ring brought to Gollum unnatural long life. For five hundred years it poisoned his mind. And in the gloom of Gollum's cave, it waited. Darkness crept back into the forest 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.
28
Gandalf: For sixty years, the Ring lay quiet in Bilbo's keeping, prolonging his life, delaying old age. But no longer, Frodo. Evil 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. The spirit of Sauron endured. His life force is bound to the Ring and the Ring survived. Sauron has returned. His Orcs 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.
29
Boromir: This is no mine. It's a tomb.
30
Gandalf: [reading] They have taken the bridge and the second hall. We have barred the gates but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes, drums... drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A shadow lurks in the dark. We can not get out... they are coming.
31
Gandalf: I think you should leave the ring behind, Bilbo. Is that so hard? Bilbo: Well, no. [frowning] Bilbo: ... and yes. Now it comes to it, I don't feel like parting with it. It's mine. I found it. It came to me. Gandalf: There's no need to get angry. Bilbo: Well, if I'm angry, it's your fault. [to himself] Bilbo: ... it's mine... my own... my precious... Gandalf: Precious? It's been called that before, but not by you. Bilbo: Oh, what business is it of yours what I do with my things? Gandalf: I think you've had that ring quite long enough. Bilbo: You... you want it for yourself. Gandalf: BILBO BAGGINS. Do not take me for some conjuror of cheap tricks. I am not trying to rob you, I'm trying to help you.
32
Gimli: Not the beard.
33
Frodo: We're friends of Gandalf the Grey, can you tell him we've arrived? Barliman Butterbur: Gandalf... Gandalf... Oh, yeah, I remember elderly chap, big gray beard, point hat. Not seen him for six months.
34
Pippin: Are we lost? Merry: No Pippin: I think we are Merry: Shh. Gandalf's thinkin' Pippin: Merry? Merry: What? Pippin: I'm hungry
35
Galadriel: 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.
36
Bilbo: I've thought of an ending for my book - "And he lived happily ever after... to the end of his days."
37
[Frodo has been stabbed by a Morgul-blade] Pippin: Is he going to die? Aragorn: He is passing into the Shadow World. He'll soon become a wraith like them.
38
Sam: This is it. Frodo: This is what? Sam: If I take one more step, it'll be the farthest away from home I've ever been. Frodo: Come on, Sam. Remember what Bilbo used to say: "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."
39
Arwen: What's this? A Ranger, caught off his guard?
40
Gandalf: Lead them on, Aragorn. The bridge is near. Do as I say! Swords are no more use here!
41
Gandalf: If in doubt, Meriadoc, always follow your nose.
42
Gimli: Soon Master Elf, you will enjoy the fabled hospitality of the dwarves. Roaring fires, malt beer, red meat off the bone.
43
Sam: Trust a Brandybuck and a Took. Merry: What? That was just a detour, a shortcut. Sam: Shortcut to what? Pippin: Mushrooms.
44
Hero Orc: The trees are strong, my lord. Their roots go deep. Saruman: Rip them all down.
45
Gandalf: My dear Frodo, Hobbits really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about them in a day, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you.
46
Elrond: I was there the day the strength of men failed.
47
Arwen: Why do you fear the past? You are Isildur's heir, not Isildur himself. You are not bound to his fate. Aragorn: The same blood flows in my veins. The same weakness. Arwen: Your time will come. You will face the same evil, and you will defeat it.
48
Arwen: Do you remember when we first met? Aragorn: I thought I had wandered into a dream. 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] Arwen: I choose a mortal life. Aragorn: You cannot give me this. Arwen: It is mine to give to whom I will. Like my heart.
49
Gandalf: I think there's more to this hobbit than meets the eye.
50
Gimli: They say that a great sorceress lives in these woods. An Elf witch of terrible power. All who look upon her fall under her spell... and are never seen again.
