FOTR quotes
Galadriel: And now it comes. You will give me the Ring freely! In place of a Dark Lord you will
set up a Queen. And I shall not be dark, but beautiful and terrible as the Morning and the Night! Fair as the sea and the
Sun and the Snow upon the mountains! Dreadful as the storm and the Lightning! Stronger that the foundations of the earth.
All shall love me and despair!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Galadriel:
May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arwen:
Nin o Chithaeglir lasto beth daer Rimmo nin Bruinen dan in Ulaer!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aragorn:
Are you frightened?
Frodo: Yes.
Aragorn: Not nearly frightened enough. I know what
hunts you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frodo:
What do you want?
Aragorn: A little more caution from you, that is no trinket you carry.
Frodo:
I carry nothing.
Aragorn: Indeed! I can avoid being seen if I wish, but to disappear entirely, that is
a rare gift.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boromir:
[holding the ring after Frodo has lost it] It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small
a thing. Such a little thing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam:
I made a promise, Mr Frodo. A promise. Don't you leave him Samwise
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aragorn:
By my life or death, I will protect you. You have my sword...
Legolas: ...and you have my bow...
Gimli:
...and my axe.
Boromir: You carry the fate of us all little one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Elrond:
Together you form the Fellowship of the Ring.
Pippin: Great! Where are we going?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Galadriel:
Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gimli:
No one tosses a dwarf!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arwen:
If you want him, come and claim him!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gandalf:
You must remember, the Ring is trying to get back to its master. It wants to be found.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frodo:
Go back, Sam. I'm going to Mordor alone.
Sam: Of course you are. And I'm coming with you!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boromir:
What is this new devilry?
Gandalf: A Balrog. A demon of the ancient world. This foe is beyond any of
you. Run!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 the ring. When all this is over, the pity of Bilbo may rule
the fate of the ring.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pippin:
What's that?
Merry: This, my friend, is a pint.
Pippin: It comes in pints? I'm getting
one!
Sam: You've had a whole half already!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boromir:
Frodo... Where is Frodo?
Aragorn: I let Frodo go.
Boromir: Then you did what I could
not.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frodo: You're
late.
Gandalf: A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means
to.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gandalf: There
is only one Lord of the Ring, only one who can bend it to his will. And he does not share power.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Galadriel:
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 created a master Ring, by which he could control all others. And into it he poured his craft, his cruelty, and
his will to dominate all life. "One Ring to rule them all."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gandalf:
Confound it all, Samwise Gamgee! Have you been 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 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 please, Mr. Gandalf, sir, don't hurt me. Don't turn me into anything...unnatural.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gandalf: [to a despairing
Frodo Baggins] There is more at work in this world than the force 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.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pippin:
Anyways, you need people of intelligence on this sort of... mission... quest... thing.
Merry: Well, that
rules you out, Pip.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gandalf:
Keep it secret. Keep it safe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gandalf:
Is it secret? Is it safe?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Speaking
of the Ring]
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Saruman: We must
join with Him, Gandalf. We must join with Sauron. It would be wise, my friend.
Gandalf: Tell me, "friend",
since when has Saruman the Wise abandoned reason for madness?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gandalf:
To the bridge of Khazad dum!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 Dark Lord and the
Ring. Frodo, he must never find it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gandalf: I think
you should leave the ring behind, Bilbo. Is that so hard?
Bilbo: Well, no! (frowning) ...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!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gandalf:
Fool of a Took! Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gimli:
Not the beard!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frodo:
We're friends of Gandalf the Grey, can you tell him we've arrived?
Barliman Butterbur: Gandalf...Gandalf...Oh yea I remember
elderly chap, big gray beard, point hat. Not seen him for six months.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gimli:
I will be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an elf. Never trust an elf!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legolas:
Hurry! Frodo and Sam have reached the eastern shore.
[pause]
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:
Let's hunt some orc!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gandalf:
You shall not pass.
