[edit] Gandalf the Grey

  • [Of the Ring inscription] In the Common tongue it says, "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them."
  • I am a servant of the secret fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn! Go back to the shadow! YOU SHALL NOT PASS!

[edit] Bilbo Baggins

  • 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!
  • 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.

[edit] Samwise Gamgee

  • If I take one more step it'll be the farthest away from home I've ever been.
  • I made a promise, Mr. Frodo. A promise. "Don't you leave him, Samwise Gamgee", and I don't mean to. I don't mean to!

[edit] Boromir

  • It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing... such a little thing.
  • I would have followed you, my brother, my captain, my king...

[edit] Galadriel

  • 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. For within these Rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race. 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 will to dominate all life. One Ring to rule them all... One by one, the Free Lands of Middle-Earth fell to the power of the Ring. But there were some, who resisted... A Last Alliance of Men and Elves marched against the armies of Mordor and on the 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... Sauron, the enemy of the Free Peoples of Middle-Earth, was defeated.
  • Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.

[edit] Others

  • Gollum: It came to me. My own, my love, my own, my... preccciouss... Gollum!
  • Saruman: You did not seriously think that a Hobbit could contend with the will of Sauron!? There are none who can. Against the power of Mordor...there can be no victory.
  • Sauron: You cannot hide. I SEE YOU! There is no life in the void...only death.
  • Aragorn: [of the Ringwraiths] They were once men, great kings of men. Then Sauron the Deceiver gave to them nine Rings of Power. Blinded by their greed, they took them without question, one by one falling into darkness. Now they are slaves to his will. They are the Nazgûl: Ringwraiths, neither living nor dead. At all times they feel the presence of the Ring, drawn to the power of the One. They will never stop hunting you.
  • Gimli: Nobody tosses a dwarf.
  • Saruman: Do you know how the Orcs first came into being? They were Elves, once. Taken by the dark powers. Tortured and mutilated, a ruined and terrible form of life. And now, perfected! My fighting Uruk-Hai...whom do you serve!?

[edit] Dialogue

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 given to the race of Men, who above all else desire power. For within these rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race. 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.
The Witch King of Angmar: Give up the Halfling, She-Elf!
Arwen: [draws her sword] If you want him, come and claim him!
Elrond: Strangers from distant lands, friends of old. You've 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 fate, this one doom. Bring forth the Ring, Frodo.
[Frodo plces the Ring on the dais in the centre of the Council. The Council members all stare and the Ring, then whisper and talk amongst themselves]
Boromir: It is a gift: a gift to the foes of Mordor! Why not use this Ring!? [stands up] 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 [sneering]: And what would a Ranger know of this matter!?
Legolas [stands up]: He is no mere Ranger! He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn! You owe him your allegiance!
Boromir [incredulous]: Aragorn!? So this is Isildur's Heir!?
Legolas: And heir to the throne of Gondor.
Aragorn [in elvish]: Sit down, Legolas.
'Boromir: [to Legolas] Gondor has no king. [to Aragorn] Gondor needs no king. [Boromir sits down, glaring at Aragorn]
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!?
[Gimli attempts to destroy the Ring using his axe, which destroys the axe, leaving the Ring without a scratch]
Elrond: The Ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Glóin, 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: 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 can 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!
Gandalf: Do you not understand, while you bicker amongst yourselves, Sauron's power grows!? None will escape it, you'll all be destroyed!
[all in the council start arguing, as the Ring speaks to Frodo, who stands up]
Frodo: I will take it. [no one notices] I will take it! [everyone stops] I will take the Ring to Mordor. Though... I do not know the way.
Gandalf: I will help you bear this burden, Frodo Baggins, as long as it is yours to bear.
Aragorn: If, by my life or death, I can protect you, I will. You have my sword.
Legolas: And you have my bow.
Gimli: And my axe.
Boromir: You carry the fates of us all, little one. If this is indeed the will of the Council, then Gondor will see it done.
[Sam appears from behind some bushes.]
Sam: Here! And Mr. Frodo's not going anywhere without me!
Elrond: No, indeed! It is hardly possible to separate you, even when he is summoned to a secret Council and you are not.
[Merry and Pippin run into the Council meeting]
Merry: Oi! We're coming too! You'll have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us!
Pippin: Anyway, you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission. Quest. Thing.
Merry: Well that rules you out, Pip.
Elrond: Nine companions... So be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring.
Pippin: Great. Where are we going?
Frodo: It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill [Gollum] when he had the chance.
Gandalf: Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death, and 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.
Gandalf: [reading from the book of Mazarbul] "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 moves in the darkness...we cannot get out...they are coming".
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 in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.
