(Galadriel’s voise: )
I amar prestar aen. The world is changed.
han mathon ne nen. I feel it in the waters.
han mathon ne chae. I feel it in the earth.
a han noston ned gwilith. 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.
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. One ring to rule them all.
One by one, free lands in 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 people of middle earth, was defeated.
The ring passed to Isildur, who had this one chance to destroy evil
forever. But the hearts of men are easily corrupted, and 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,
it ensnared a new bearer.
Gollum: “My precious.”
The Ring came to the creature Gollum who took it deep into the tunnels
of the misty mountains. And there it consumed him.
Gollum: “It came to me! My own, my love, my precious.”
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 in the forest of the world. Rumour grew of a shadow
in the east, whispers of a nameless fear, and the ring of power perceived
it's time had now come. It abandoned Gollum. But something happened then,
the ring did not intend. It was picked up by the most unlikely creature
imaginable.
Bilbo: “What's this?”
A hobbit. Bilbo Baggins of the Shire.
Bilbo: “A ring!”
Gollum: “Lost!”
For the time would soon come when hobbits will shape the fortunes of all.
The Fellowship of the Ring
(The Shire, 60 years later)
Gandalf: (sings) “The road goes ever on and on, down from the door where it began...”
Frodo: “You're late.”
Gandalf: “A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely
when he means to.
(Both crack up in to laughter and Frodo jumps in to the cart, and hugs
Gandalf)
Frodo: “It's wonderful to see you, Gandalf!”
Gandalf: “You didn't think I'd miss your uncle Bilbo's birthday?”
Frodo: “What news of the outside world? Tell me everything.”
Gandalf: “Everything? Far to eager and curious for a hobbit. Most
unnatural! Well, what can I tell you? Life in the wide world goes on,
much as it has this past age. All the comes and goings, scarcely aware
of the existence of hobbits. For which I am very thankful. “
Hobbits: “Look! It's Gandalf!”
Gandalf: “ Ooh! The long expected party. So how is the old rascal?
I hear it's going to be a party of special magnificence.”
Frodo: “You know Bilbo. He's got the whole place in an uproar.”
Gandalf: “Now, well, that should please him.”
Frodo: “Half the Shire's been invited!”
Gandalf: “Good gracious.”
Frodo: “He's up to something.”
Gandalf: “Oh, really?”
Frodo: “All right then, keep your secrets. Before you came along, we
Bagginses were very well thought of.”
Gandalf: “Indeed.”
Frodo: “Never had any adventures or did anything unexpected.”
Gandalf: “If you're referring to the incident with dragon, I was barely
involved. All I did was give your uncle a little nudge out of the door.”
Frodo: “Whatever you did, you're been officially labelled a disturber of
the peace.”
Gandalf: “Oh, really?”
Hobbit kids: ”Gandalf! Gandalf's here!! Oh! Gandalf! Gandaalf! Fireworks Gandalf?”
(Some fireworks go off behind the cart and the kidds cheer)
(Frodo gets off the wagon)
Frodo: “Gandalf , I'm glad you're back.”
Gandalf: “So am I, dear boy. So am I.“
(Gandalf knocks on Bilbo’s door)
Bilbo: “No thank you! We don't want any more visitors, well wishes, or
distant relations!”
Gandalf: “And what about very old friends?”
Bilbo: “Gandalf?”
Gandalf: “Bilbo Baggins”
Bilbo: “My dear Gandalf!”
Gandalf: “Good to see you. One hundred and eleven years old. Could you
believe it. You haven't aged a day.
(both laugh)
Bilbo: “Come on, come in. Welcome, welcome.”
(takes Gandalf's stick and hat).
Bilbo: “Tea? Or maybe something a little stronger. I've got a few of
bottles of the old wineyard left. 1296. Very good year. Almost as old as
I am. Ha ha ha! It was laid down by my father. What's say we open one, eh?
Gandalf: “Just tea, thank you. OHHH!”
(Gandalf hits his head on one of the lights, and then he hits his head
on the ceiling)
Bilbo:” I was expecting you here last week! Not that it matters, you come
and go as you please. Always have done and always will. You caught me a bit
unprepared, I'm afraid. We have some old chicken and pickles... Here's some
cheese, oh no, it won't do! There, we've got brussels, and jam, and apple
tart... Not much for afterlunch, oh, no! We're all right, I have some
cake.”
(Gandalf looks at a map of the Lonely Mountain, in Bilbo’s study)
Bilbo: “I can make you some eggs if you li-- Ganda- Gandalf?
Gandalf: “Just tea, thank you”
Bilbo: “Oh, right. You don't mind if eat, do you?”
Gandalf: “Oh no, not at all.”
Female Voice: “Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins.”
(bangs on door loudly)
Bilbo: “I'm not at home! I've got to get away from these confounded
relatives, hanging on the bell all day, never giving me a moment's
peace! I want to see mountains again, mountains, Gandalf. And then
find somewhere quite where I can finish my book... Ooh, tea!”
Gandalf: “So you mean to go through with your plan then?”
Bilbo: “Yes, yes, it's all in hand. All the arrangements are made.
(gets the tea, Gandalf takes the lid off for him).
Bilbo: “Oh, thank you.”
Gandalf: “Frodo suspects something.”
Bilbo: “ 'Course he does. He's a Baggins! Not some block-headed
Bracegirdle from Hardbottle.”
Gandalf: “You will tell him, won't you.”
Bilbo: “Yes, yes.”
Gandalf: “He's very fond of you.”
Bilbo: “I know. He'd probably come with me if I asked him. I think in
his heart, Frodo's still in love with the Shire. The woods, and the
fields, little rivers. I'm old, Gandalf. I know I don't look it, but
I'm beginning to feel it in my heart. (feels the Ring in his pocket)
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.”
(It’s evening, and Bilbo and Gandalf are sitting on the top of a hill
together, smoking pipe)
Bilbo: “Old Toby, the finest weed in the Southfarthing.”
(Bilbo blows a smoke ring, and Gandalf blows a ship to go through it)
Bilbo: “Gandalf, my old friend, this will be a night to remember.”
(fireworks go off and hobbits are dancing)
Bilbo: “Hello, hello.”
Frodo: “Go on, Sam, ask Rosie for a dance.”
Sam: “Umm, I think I'll just have another ale.”
Frodo: “Oh no you don't! Go on!”
(Frodo pushes Sam towards Rosie and they dance).
Bilbo: “So there I was, at the mercy of three monstrous trolls.
And they were all arguing amongst themselves about how they were
going to cook us. Whether it be turned on a spit, or whether they
should sit on us one by one, and squash us, to jelly.”
Bilbo: “And they spent so much time arguing, the weather to's and
the why fore's that the sun's first light cracked over the top of
the trees, and Poof!"
Hobbit kids: (gasp)
Bilbo: “And turned them all to stone!”
(Gandalf takes some fireworks from the wagon. As he leaves, Merry
and Pippin come out from behind the tent to steel some rockets.)
Pippin: “Quickly!”
(Pippin jumps in to the wagon)
(Pippin takes out a cracker)
Merry: “No, no, the big one, big one!”
(they go inside the tent)
Pippin: “It’s done.”
Merry: “You're supposed to stick it in the ground.”
(pushes it back to Pippin)
Pippin: “It is in the ground!”
(Pushes it back to Merry, who pushes it back to Pippin again)
Merry: “Outside!”
Pippin: “It was your idea!”
(The rocket goes off, and Merry and Pippin are thrown to the ground.
The rocket lets out fireworks and turns into a big firey dragon)
Frodo: “Bilbo, watch out for the dragon!”
Bilbo: “Dragon? Nonsense, there hasn't been a dragon in these parts
for a thousand years!”
(The rocket goes off in to the distance, filling the sky with
fireworks. Hobbits cheer)
Merry: “That was good!”
Pippin: “Let's get another one.”
Gandalf: (grabs both by the ears.) “Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin
Took. I might have known.”
(Merry and Pippin get to wash up the dishes)
The hobbit crowd: “Speech! Speech, Bilbo! Speech!”
Frodo: “Speech!”
Bilbo: “My dear Bagginses and Boffins! Tooks and Brandybucks! Grubbs!
Chubbs! Hornblowers! Bolgers! Bracegirdles! Proudfoots!"
Proudfoot: “Proudfeet!”
Bilbo: “Today is my one hundred and eleventh birthday! Alas. Eleventy
one years is far too short a time to live amongst such excellent and
admirable hobbits. 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.
I er, I have things to do. (takes the Ring from his pocket) I've put
this off far too long. I regret to announce this is the end. I'm going
now. I bid you all a very fond farewell. Goodbye.”
(Bilbo puts the Ring on and vanishes and then makes his way back to Bag
End, still invisible)
Gandalf: “I suppose you thing that was terribly clever.”
Bilbo: “Oh, come on Gandalf, did you see their faces!”
Gandalf: “There are many magic rings in this world, Bilbo Baggins,
and none of them should be used lightly!”
Bilbo: “It was just a bit of fun! ...Oh, you're probably right,
as usual. You will keep an eye on Frodo, won't you?”
Gandalf: “Two eyes, as often as I can spare them.”
Bilbo: “I'm leaving everything to him.”
Gandalf: “What about this ring of yours, is that staying too?”
Bilbo: “Yes, yes. It’s in an envelope over there on the mantlepiece.
No, wait it's... here in my pocket.”
(Takes ring out and fingers it)
“Why isn't that, isn't that odd, now. Yet after all that, why not.
Why shouldn't I keep it?”
Gandalf: “I think you should leave the ring behind, Bilbo. Is that
so hard?”
Bilbo: “Well no... 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: “What if I'm angry, it's your fault! It's mine. My own.
My precious.”
Gandalf: “Precious? It's been called that before, but not by you.”
(Bilbo gets angry)
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 if for yourself!”
(Gandalf rises up, and becomes very angry. He suddenly looks very tall)
Gandalf: “BILBO BAGGINS! DO NOT TAKE ME FOR SOME CONJUROR OF CHEAP
TRICKS! I AM NOT TRYING TO ROB YOU!!”
(Becomes normal again. Bilbo starts crying)
Gandalf: “I'm trying to help you.”
(He kneels down, and places his hand on Bilbo’s shoulder)
Gandalf: “All your long years, we've been friends. Trust me, as
you once did.”
Bilbo: “You're right. The ring must go to Frodo. It’s late,
the road is long. Yes, it is time.”
(Bilbo walks to the door)
Gandalf: “Bilbo. The ring is still in your pocket.”
Bilbo: “Oh, yes.”
(Bilbo drops the Ring on to the floor, steps out and turns around
to look at Gandalf)
Bilbo: “I've thought of an ending for my book: -And he lived
happily ever after, for the end of his days."
Gandalf: “And I'm sure you will, my dear friend.”
Gandlf: “Goodbye, dear Bilbo.”
Bilbo: “Goodbye Gandalf. (sings) The road goes ever on and on...”
Gandalf: “ 'Till our next meeting.”
(Gandalf walks back into the house. He leans over the ring, and
reaches out the touch it. The Eye of Sauron flashes.)
Voice of Bilbo: “It's mine. My own. My precious”
Gandalf: “Riddles in the dark...”
(Frodo comes in)
Frodo: “Bilbo! Bilbo?"
(picks up the ring).
Gandalf: “A precious...”
Frodo: “He's gone, hasn't he?”
Frodo: “He talked so long about leaving. I didn't think he'd really
do it. Gandalf?”
(Frodo shows Gandalf the ring in his palm)
Gandalf: “Bilbo's ring. He's gone to stay with the elves. He's left
you Bag End.”
(Gandalf gives an envelope to Frodo to put the ring into it, and
seals the envelope with a red stamp.)
Gandalf: “Along with all his possesions. The ring is yours now.
Put it somewhere out of sight”
(Gandalf is leaving)
Frodo: “Where are you going?”
Gandalf: “There are some things that I must see to.”
Frodo: “What things?”
Gandalf: “Questions. Questions that need answering.”
Frodo: “You've only just arrived. I don't understand.”
Gandalf: “Neither do I. Keep it secret! Keep it safe!"
(He leaves, and shuts the door behind him)
(At the dungeons of Barad-dur)
Gollum: “Shire! Baggins!”
(The Nazgul ride through the gates of Minas Morgul. The scene
switches to Gandalf, who rides to Minas Tirith through the outskirts
of Mount Doom. )
Gandalf: (reads from an ancient scroll) “The year 3434, of the second
age. Here follows the account of Isildur, high king of Gondor, and the
finding of the ring of power. It has come to me, the one ring, which
shall be an heirloom of my kingdom. All that will follow in my bloodline
shall be bound to its fate, for I will risk no hurt to the ring. It is
precious to me, though I buy it with a great pain. The markings upon the
band begin to fade. The writing that at first was as clear as red flame,
has all but disappeared, a secret now that only fire can tell.”
(At the Shire again)
Black Rider: “Shire. Baggins?”
Hobbit: “There’s no Bagginses here. They're up in Hobbiton. That way.”
(The wraith rides to Hobbiton, where Frodo is coming home from a party.)
Frodo: ”Good night Sam.”
Sam: ”Good night Frodo.”
(Frodo enters and notes that the window is open.)
Gandalf: “Is it secret!? Is it safe!?”
(Frodo searches the envelope with the Ring from a box. Gandalf grabs
it from him and throws it into the fireplace.)
Frodo: “What are you doing?!”
(Gandalf takes the Ring out from the fire with tongs.)
Gandalf: “Hold out your hand, Frodo. It's quite cool.”
Gandalf: “What can you see? Can you see anything?”
Frodo: (examines the ring) “Nothing. There's nothing.”
Frodo: “Wait ... there are markings. It's some form of elvish. I
can't read it.”
Gandalf: “There are few who can. The language is that of Mordor.
Which I will not utter here.”
Frodo: “Mordor?!”
Gandalf: “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.“
(Gandalf sits at the table, smoking, while Frodo makes tea)
Gandalf: “This is the One Ring, forged by the Dark Lord Sauron, in
the fires of Mount Doom, taken by Isildur from the hand of Sauron
himself.”
Frodo: “Bilbo found it. In Gollum's cave.”
Gandalf: “Yes. For 60 years the ring lay quiet in Bilbo's keeping,
prolonging his life, delaying old age. But no no longer, Frodo. Evil
is stirring in Mordor. The ring has awoken. It's heard it's master's
call.”
Frodo: “But he was destroyed. Sauron was destroyed.”
The Ring: “Isildur”
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 of a second darkness.
He is seeking it. Seeking it, all his thought is bent on it. The ring
yearns above all else to return to the hand of its master. They are one.
The Ring, and the Dark Lord. Frodo. He must never find it.”
Frodo: “Alright. We put it away. We keep it hidden. We never speak of it
again. No one knows it's here, do they? Do they, Gandalf?”
Gandalf: “There is one other that knew that 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 amidst the endless screams and the
inane babble, they discerned two words.”
Gollum: “Shire!! Baggins!!”
Frodo: “Shire!? Baggins?! But that would lead them here!”
(The Ringwraiths are seen with a hobbit who holds out a lantern.)
Hobbit: “Who goes there?”
(One of the Nazgul slashes his head off.)
Frodo: “Take it Gandalf! Take it!”
Gandalf: “No Frodo.”
Frodo: “You must take it!”
Gandalf: “You cannot offer me this ring.”
Frodo: “I'm giving it to you!”
Gandalf: “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 it cannot stay in the Shire!”
Gandalf: “No! No it can't.”
Frodo: “What must I do?”
(Frodo starts to pack)
Gandalf: “You must leave. And leave quickly.”
Frodo: “Where? Where do I go?”
Gandalf: “Get out of the Shire. Head for the village of Bree.”
Frodo: “Bree... What about you?”
Gandalf: “I'll be waiting for you, at the inn of the Prancing Pony.”
Frodo: “And the ring will be safe there?”
Gandalf: “I don't know, Frodo. I don't have any answers. I must see the
head of my order. He is both wise, and powerful. Trust me, Frodo, he'll
know what to do. You'll have to leave the name of Baggins behind you, for
the name is not safe outside the Shire. Travel only by day, and stay off
the road.”
Frodo: “I can cut across country easily enough.”
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.”
(A noise is heard from under the window.)
Gandalf: “Get down.”
(Gandalf slowly moves towards the window, then points his staff out and
gives a whack to Sam who is in the bushes, and then pulls him in, on to
the table.)
Sam: “Oof!”
Gandalf: “Confound it all, Samwise Gamgee! Have you been evesdropping?”
Sam: “I have been dropping no eaves, sir, honest. I was just cutting the
grass under the window there, if you 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, a
dark lord, and something about the end of the world, but, please Mr
Gandalf, sir, please don't hurt me. Don't turn me into anything—unnatural!”
Gandalf: “No?... Perhaps not. I've thought of a better use for you.”
(The next day. )
Gandalf: “Come along, Samwise, keep up. Be careful, both of you. The enemy
has many spies in his service. Birds, beasts.”
(Gandalf turns to Frodo)
Gandalf: “Is it safe?”
(Frodo puts his hand onto his pocket.)
Gandalf: “Never put it on. For the agents of the Dark Lord will be drawn to
its power. Always remember, Frodo. The ring is trying to get back to its master.
It wants to be found.”
(Gandalf rides off into the woods. Sam and Frodo set are walking in a
field.)
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.”
(Sam takes the step)
Frodo: “You remember what Bilbo used to say?”
Bilbo’s voise: “It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door.
You step out onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no
knowing where you might be swept off to.”
(Scene switches to Gandalf, who rides off to Isengard, to meet with
Saruman the White)
Saruman: “Smoke rises from the mountain of Doom, and the hour grows
late, and Gandalf the Grey rides to Isengard seeking my council. For
that is why you have come, is it not? My old friend.”
Gandalf: “Saruman.” (bows his head)
Saruman: “You are sure of this?”
Gandalf: “Beyond any doubt.”
Saruman: “So the ring of power has been found.”
Gandalf: “All these long years, it was in the Shire, under my very nose.”
Saruman: !Yet you did not have the wits to see it. Your love of the
Halflings' leaf has clearly slowed your mind.”
Gandalf: “But we still have time. Time to counter Sauron if we act
quickly.”
Saruman: “Time? What time do you think we have?”
(The wizards move to Sauron's chambers.)
Saruman: “Sauron has regained much of his former strength. He cannot
yet take physical form, but his spirit has lost none of its potency.
Concealed within his fortress, the Lord of Mordor sees all. His gaze
pierces cloud, shadow, earth and flesh. You know of what I speak,
Gandalf. A great eye, lidless, wreathed in flame.”
Gandalf: “The Eye of Sauron.”
Saruman: “He is gathering all evil to him. Very soon he will summon
an army great enough to launch an assault upon Middle Earth.”
Gandalf: “You know all this? How?”
Saruman: “I have seen it.”
(Gandalf and Saruman walk to the Palanthir.)
Gandalf: “A palantir is a dangerous tool, Saruman.”
Saruman: “Why? Why should we fear to use it?”
(Saruman takes the cover off palantir)
Gandalf: “They are not all accounted for, the lost seeing stones.
You do not know who else may be watching. (Puts the cover back
onto the palantir and sees the Eye of Sauron)
Saruman: “The hour is later than you think. Sauron's forces are
already moving. The nine have left Minas Morgul.”
Gandalf: “The nine.”
Saruman: “They crossed the river Isen on Midsummer's eve, disguised
as riders in black.”
Gandalf: “They've reached the Shire?”
Saruman: “They will find the ring, and kill the one that carries it.”
Gandalf: “Frodo!”
(Tryes to leave the room, but Saruman closes all the doors with his mind).
Saruman: “You do 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. 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?”
(Saruman shouts and the battle of the wizards begin)
Saruman: “I gave you the chance of aiding me willingly, but you have
elected a way of paying!”
(Saruman uses his staff to throw Gandalf to the top of the pinnacle of
Orthanc.)
(In a cornfield, Frodo and Sam keep travelling)
Sam: “Mr Frodo? Frodo! Frodo!!!”
(Frodo jumps into sight, and Sam is reliefd.)
Sam: “I thought I'd lost you.”
Frodo: “What are you talking about?”
Sam: “It's just something Gandalf said.”
Frodo: “What did he say?”
Sam: "Don't you lose him, Samwise Gamgee." And I don't mean to.”
Frodo: “Sam, we're still in the Shire. What could possibly happen?”
( Then, Merry and Pippin jump out from the bushes, and fall onto
Frodo and Sam. )
Pippin: “Frodo! Merry, it's Frodo Baggins!”
Merry: “Hello, Frodo!”
Sam: “Get off him!”
Frodo: “What's the meaning of this?”
Merry: “Hold these.” (Gives some vegetables to Sam)
Sam: “You've been into Farmer Maggot's crop!”
Farmer Maggot: “Hey! You get back here!! You get out of my fields!”
(Sam drops the vegetables on the ground and follows the others
into the cover of Farmer Maggot's crop.)
Merry: “I don't know why he's so upset. It's only a couple of carrots.”
Pippin: “And some cabbages. And then those empty bags of potatoes we
left in last week. And then, the mushrooms, the week before!”
Merry: “Yes, Pippin, my point is, he's clearly over reacting! Run!”
(They run, but come to the edge of a steep slope, and fall off it and
roll down.)
Pippin: “Oooh. That was close.”
Merry: “Ahhh. Ohhh. I think I've broken something.”
(He pulls out a broken carrot from undernearth him)
Sam: “Trust a Brandybuck and a Took.”
Merry: “What? It was just a detour. A shortcut.”
Sam: “A shortcut to what?”
Pippin: “Mushrooms!!”
(Sam, Pippin, and Merry collect some mushrooms into a bag.)
Frodo: “I think we should get off the road.”
(There is aNazgul coming towards them, on the road.)
Frodo: “Get off the road! Quick!!!”
The hobbits hide under the roots of a tree. A black rider comes towards
their hiding place. It sniffs. Frodo is tempted to put on the ring and
goes in to a trance, but Sam stops him. Merry throws the bag off into
the distance, and the rider follows the sound. The hobbits leave their
hiding place and start running.)
Merry: “What was that?”
(It’s dark and the hobbits are hiding behind trees.)
Merry: “Anything?”
Frodo: “Nothing!”
Pippin: “What is going on?”
Merry: “That black rider was looking for something. Or someone...
Frodo?”
Pippin: “Get down!”
( a rider is seen nearby. )
Frodo: “I have to leave the Shire. Sam and I must get to Bree.”
Merry: “Right. Buckleberry Ferry. Follow me.”
They start running, but a black rider jumps out of a bush and chases
them. )
Merry: “Run! Frodo, this way! Follow me!”
(The hobbits run, and come to the river. Sam, Merry and Pippin get to
the ferry, but Frodo is still being chased by a black rider.)
Merry: “Get the boats out!”
Sam: “Frodo!”
The Hobbits: “Run Frodo! No! Hurry! Come one! Run Frodo!”
( Frodo runs, and manages to jump onto the boat. The rider stops at
the river bank, and turns around. )
Frodo: “How far to the nearest crossing?”
Merry: “The Brandywine bridge. Twenty miles.
(The hobbits are at the gate that leads to Bree.)
Frodo: “Come on.”
Gatekeeper: “What do you want?”
Frodo: “We're heading for the Prancing Pony.”
Gatekeeper: “Hobbits. Four hobbits! What business brings you to
Bree?”
Frodo: “We wish to stay at the inn. Our business is our own.”
Gatekeeper: “Alright, young sir, I meant no offence. It's my job to
ask questions after nightfall. There's talk of strange folk abroad.
Can't be too careful.”
(The hobbits head for the inn of the Prancing Pony)
Frodo: (walks up to the counter) “Excuse me.”
Innkeeper Butterbur: “Good evening, little masters. If you're seeking
accommodation, we've got some nice cosy, hobbit sized rooms available,
Mr..er?”
Frodo: “Underhill. My name's Underhill.”
Innkeeper Butterbur: “Underhill. Hmm..”
Frodo: “We're friends of Gandalf the Grey. Can you tell him we've
arrived?”
Innkeeper Butterbur: “Gandalf? Gandalf?... Oh.... yes! I remember.
Elderly chap. Big grey beard, pointy hat?”
Innkeeper: “Not seen him for 6 months.”
Sam: “ What do we do now?”
( The hobbits are sitting at a table)
Frodo: “Sam, he'll be here. He'll come.”
(Merry comes to the table with a large mug)
Pippin: “What's that?”
Merry: “This, my friend, is a pint.”
Pippin: “It comes in pints? I'm getting one!”
Sam: “You've got a whole half already!!”
(Sam turns to Frodo).
Sam: “That fellow's done nothing but staring you since we arrived.”
Frodo: (To Butterbur) “Excuse me. That man in the corner. Who is he?”
Innkeeper Butterbur: “He's one of them rangers. Dangerous folk, they
are, wandering in the wilds. What his right name is, I've never heard,
but around here, he's known as Strider.”
Frodo: “Strider...”
(Frodo starts to fingers the Ring. It starts to whisper and Frodo is
temptated to put it on)
The Ring: “Baaaggins! Baaaggins! Baggins!!”
Pippin: (Pippin is talking to some men at the counter, and points to Frodo)
“Baggins? Sure I know a Baggins. He's over there Frodo Baggins.
He's my second cousin once removed on his mother's side and ...”
(Frodo makes his way towards Pippin to stop him)
Frodo: “Pippin!”
( Pippin grabs him, causing him to spill some of his drink)
Pippin: “Steady on!”
(Frodo trips on a foot of one of the men, and falls on to the floor.
As he hits the ground, the Ring flies upwards, and falls back down onto
his finger, causing him to disappear. The black riders are drawn to its
power. Frodo sees the world in darkness when he puts on the ring. He sees
the Eye of Sauron.)
Voice of Sauron: “You cannot hide. I see you.”
(Frodo pulls the ring off his finger. Instantly Strider pulls him up
the stairs into his room)
Strider: “You draw far too much attention to yourself, Mr ‘Underhill’.”
Frodo: “What do you want?”
Strider: “A little more caution from you, that is no trinket you carry.”
Frodo: “I carry nothing.”
Strider: “Indeed. I can avoid being seen if I wish. But to dissapear
entirely. That is a rare gift.”
(Puts out the candles and reveals his face)
Frodo: “Who are you?”
Strider: “Are you frightened?”
Frodo: “Yes.”
Strider: “Not nearly frightened enough. I know what hunts you.”
(Merry, Pippin, and Sam rush in. Sam has his fists held forward.)
Sam: “Let him go, or we'll have you, longshanks!”(I've also heard "Let him go, or have you no since?"
Strider: “You have a stout heart for a hobbit, but that will not save you.
You can no longer wait for the wizard, Frodo. They're coming.”
(The Black riders enter Bree. They enter the hobbit rooms and thrust their
swords in to each bed several times. The take the plancets out and see that
the beds were empty. The scene switches back to Strider, who is sitting by
the window with the hobbits, who have awoken by the screams of The Nazgul.)
Frodo: “What are they?”
Aragorn: “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 questioning, one by one, falling to darkness. Now they are slaves
to his will. They are the Nazgul. Ring wraiths. 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.”
(The next day, in the woods)
Frodo: “Where are you taking us?”
Strider: “Into the wild.”
Merry: “How do we know this Strider is a friend of Gandalf?”
Frodo: “We have no choice but to trust him.”
Sam: “But where is he leading us?”
Strider: “To Rivendell, Master Gamgee, to the House of Elrond.”
Sam: “Did you hear that? Rivendell! We're going to see the elves.”
(The hobbits are hungry and tired, so they wanna take a brake and stop)
Strider: “ Gentlemen. We do not stop 'till nightfall.”
(Pippin has a VERY confused look on his face.)
Pippin: “What about breakfast?”
Strider: “You've already had it.”
Pippin: “We've had one, yes. What about second breakfast?”
(Strider continues on.)
Merry: “Don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pip.”
Pippin: “What about elevensies? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper?
He knows about them, doesn't he?”
Merry: “I wouldn't count on it.”
(Strider throws an apple back, and Merry catches it. He hands it to
Pippin. Strider throws another apple, which hits Pippin on the head.)
Merry: “Pippin!”
(In Isengard, Saruman is using the Palantir)
Saruman: “The power of Isengard is at your command, Sauron, Lord of the
Earth.”
Voice of Sauron: “Build me and army worthy of Mordor.”
Orc: “What orders from Mordor, my lord? What does the Eye command?”
Saruman: “We have work to do.”
(Gandalf watches from the top of the Orthanc how the orcs are uprooting
all the trees of Isengard.)
Orc: “The trees are strong, my lord. The roots go deep.”
Saruman: “Rip them all down.”
(Strider and the hobbits are now at Weathertop.)
Strider: “This was the great watchtower of Amon Sul. We shall rest here tonight.”
(Strider takes out four short swords, and gives one to each hobbit)
Strider: “These are for you. Keep them close. I'm going to have a look
around. Stay here.”
(Some time later, Frodo wakes up suddnely. It’s dark. Merry, Pip, and Sam
are cooking something around a fire)
Pippin: “Can I have some meat?”
Merry: “Ok. Want some tomatoes, Sam? Great tomatoes.”
Frodo: “What are you doing?!”
Merry: “Tomatoes, sausages, nice crispy bacon.”
Sam: “We saved some for you, Mr Frodo.”
Frodo: (Stamps onto the fire, putting it out with his bare feet). “Put it
out, you fools! Put it out!!!”
Pippin: “Oh, that's nice! Ash on my tomatoes.”
(The cry of the Nazgul is heard from close. The hobbits draw their swords,
and see the the Nazgul getting closer.)
Frodo: “Go!!!”
(The Nazgul follow the hobbits to the top, and face them.)
Sam: “Back you devils!!!”
(The Nazgul draw their swords. Merry, Pippin, and Sam get swiped out the
way. Frodo backs off and falls backwards. The Black riders stand over him
with their swords. Frodo puts on the Ring and sees the faces of the riders
in bright light. One of the riders trys to take the Ring and stabs Frodo
in his left sholdier.)
Frodo: “Ahhhhhhhh!!!” (takes the ring off)
Sam: “Frodo!”
Frodo: “Sam.”
(Strider comes and manages to drive the riders away with a torch.)
Sam: “Strider! Help him Strider!”
Aragorn: “He has been stabbed by a Morgul blade. This is beyond my skill
to heal. He needs elvish medicine. (He picks Frodo up over his shoulder,
and they head off into the night.)
Aragorn: “Hurry!”
Sam: “We're six days from Rivendell! He'll never make it!”
Frodo: “Gandalf..”
Aragorn: “Hold on Frodo!”
Frodo: “Gandalf!!!”
(A moth flies up to the Orthanc, where Gandalf is held prisoner. He catches
the moth in his hand.)
Gandalf: “Gwaihir.. Go.. Gwaihir!”
(Orcs are cutting down trees and Saruman whitnesses the birth of Lurtz an
the Uruk-Hai)
(Strider and the hobbits are at the Trollshaws.)
Sam: “Mr Frodo? He's going cold!”
Pippin: “Is he going to die?”
Aragorn: “He's passing into the shadow world. He'll soon become a wraith
like them.”
Merry: “They're close!”
Aragorn: “Sam, do you know the Athelas plant?
Sam: “Athelas?”
Aragorn: ”Kingsfoil.”
Sam: “Kingsfoil, uh, it's a weed."
Aragorn: “It may help to slow the poison. Hurry!”
(Aragorn gives Sam a torch, and goes off to look for the weed. He finds
some, and takes out a knife to cut it, but a blade is placed on his throat.)
Arwen: “What's this? A ranger, caught off his guard?”
Arwen: “Frodo...Im Arwen. Telin le thaed. Lasto beth nin, tolo dan na ngalad.”
(“I am Arwen. I have come to help you. Hear my voice. Come back to the light.”)
Merry: “Who is she?”
Arwen: “Frodo.”
Sam: “She's an elf.”
Arwen: “He's fading.”
(Strider puts some of the weed in to Frodo’s wound.)
Arwen: “He's not going to last. We must get him to my father.”
Arwen: “ I've been looking for you for two days.”
Merry: “Where are you taking him?!”
Arwen: “There are five wraiths behind you. Where the other four are I do
not know.”
(Strider puts Frodo on the horse.)
Strider: “Dartho guin berian. Rych le ad tolthathon.”
(“Stay with the Hobbits. I will send horses for you.”)
Arwen: “Hon mabathon. Rochon ellint im.”
(“I'm the faster rider. I'll take him.”)
Strider: ”Andelu i ven.”
(”The road is too dangerous.”)
Pippin: “What are they saying?”
Arwen: “Frodo fir. Ae athradon i hir, tur gwaith nin beriatha hon.”
(“If i can get across the river, the power of my people will protect him.
I do not fear them.”)
Strider: “Hej eskling.”
Strider: ”Ride hard. Don't look back!”
Arwen: “Noro lim, Asfaloth, noro lim!”
(“Ride fast, Asfaloth, ride fast .”)
(Arwen rides off with Frodo)
Sam: “What are you doing! Those wraiths are still out there!!”
(Arwen is chased by eigth riders and one reaches out for Frodo)
Arwen: “Noro lim, Asfaloth!”
(Arwen reaches the river and crosses it. Riders stop on the other side)
Nazgul: “Give up the halfling, she-elf!”
Arwen: “If you want him, come and claim him!”
(Riders start to cross river)
Arwen: “ Nin o Chithaeglir, lasto beth daer, Rimmo nin Bruinen dan in Ulaer!
Nin o Chithaeglir, lasto beth daer, Rimmo nin Bruinen dan in Ulaer!”
(“Waters of the Misty Mountains listen to the great word: flow waters of
Loudwater against the Ringwraiths!”)
(The water rises from the river and the the riders drown. Frodo is starting
to slip.)
Arwen: “No! No! Frodo! No! Frodo, don't give in! Not now! (she holds him
and whispers) “What grace is given me, let it pass to him. Let him be
spared. Save him.”
Elrond: “Lasto beth nin. Tolo dan nan galad.”
(“Hear my voice, come back to the light.”)
(Frodo wakes up in the House of Elrond.)
Frodo: “Where am I?”
Gandalf: “You are in the house of Elrond, and it is 10 o'clock in the
morning, on October the 24th if you want to know.”
Frodo: “Gandalf!”
Gandalf: “Yes, I'm here. And you're lucky to be here too. A few more
hours, and you would have been beyond our aid. But you had some strength
in you, my dear hobbit.”
Frodo: “What happened? Why didn't you meet us?”
Gandalf: “Oh, I'm sorry Frodo. I was delayed.”
(Flashback to Gandalf’s escape)
Saruman: “A friendship with Saruman is not lightly thrown aside. One ill
turn deserves another. It is over. Embrace the power of the Ring, or
embrace your own destruction.”
Gandalf: “There is only one Lord of the Ring. Only one can bend to his
will. And he does not share power.”
(Gandalf jumps off tower onto the back of Gwaihir)
Saruman: “So you have chosen death.”
Frodo: “Gandalf? What is it?”
Gandalf: “Nothing.”
Sam: “Frodo! Frodo!”
Frodo: “Sam!”
Sam: “Bless you, you're awake!”
Gandalf: “Sam has hardly left your side.”
Sam: “We were that worried about you, weren't we, Mr Gandalf!”
Gandalf: “By the skills of Lord Elrond, you are beginning to mend.”
Elrond: “Welcome to Rivendell, Frodo Baggins.”
(Frodo walks around Rivendell with Sam. He meets Merry and Pippin.
They embrace. Then Frodo sees Bilbo sitting on a bench.)
Frodo: “Bilbo!”
Bilbo: “Hello, Frodo, my lad!”
Frodo: “Bilbo!” (Reads:) “There and back again, A hobbit's tale, by
Bilbo Baggins. This is wonderful.”
Bilbo: “I meant to go back. Wonder the paths of Mirkwood. Visit laketown.
See the Lonely Mountain again. But age, it seems has finally caught up
with me.”
Frodo: “I miss the Shire. I spent all my childhood pretending I was off
somewhere else, off with you on one of your adventures. But my own
adventure turned out to be quite different. I'm not like you, Bilbo.”
Bilbo: “My dear boy.”
Sam: (to himself) “Now, what have I forgotten?”
Frodo: “Packed already?”
Sam: “No harm in being prepared.”
Frodo: “Thought you wanted to see the elves, Sam.”
Sam: “I do.”
Frodo: “More than anything..”
Sam: “I did… It's just… We did what Gandalf wanted, didn't we? We got
the ring this far to Rivendell. And I thought, seeing now you're on the
mend, we'd be off soon. Off home.”
Frodo: “You're right, Sam. We did what we set out to do. The ring will be
safe in Rivendell. I am ready to go home.”
Elrond: “His strength returns.”
Gandalf: “That wound will never fully heal. He will carry it the rest
of his life.”
Elrond: “And yet, to have come so far, still bearing the ring, the hobbit
has showed extraordinary resilience to its evil.”
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. It's Eye is fixed on Rivendell. And Saruman, you tell me, has betrayed
us. Our list of allies grows thin.”
Gandalf: “His treachery runs deeper than you know. By foul craft Saruman
has crossed Orcs with Goblin men. He's breeding an army at the caverns of Isengard.
An army that can move in sunlight, and cover great distance and speed.
Saruman is coming for the ring.”
Elrond: “This evil cannot be concealed by the power of the Elves. We do
not have the strength to fight both Mordor and Isengard. Gandalf.
The Ring cannot stay here.”
(Dwarvs, Elves, and Men arrive. Boromir, Legolas and Gimli)
Elrond: “This peril belongs to all 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 hide in their mountains
seeking riches. They care nothing for the troubles of others.”
Gandalf: “It is in men that we must place our hope.”
Elrond: “Men? Men are weak. The race of men is failing. The blood of Numenor
is all but spent. It's pride and dignity forgotten. It is because of men the
ring survives. I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand years ago.”
(Flashback to Isildur slicing the Ring off Sauron’s hand and to Mount Doom)
Elrond: “Isildur took the Ring. I was there the day the strenght of men failed.”
Elrond: “Isildur! Hurry”
Elrond: “I led Isildur into the heart of Mount Doom. Where the ring was forged.
The one place it could be destroyed.”
Elrond: “Cast it into the fire. Destroy it!!!”
Isildur: “No.”
Elrond: “Isildur!!!”
Elrond: “It should have ended that day, but evil was allowed to endure.
Isildur kept the ring, the line of kings is broken. There's no strength
left in the world of men. They are scattered, divided, leaderless.”
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. He has chosen exile.”
(At the following night Boromir is looking at the shards of Narsil. Aragorn
is reading near by.)
Boromir: “The shards of Narsil. The blade that cut the ring from Sauron's
hand. (cuts his finger) Still sharp!”
(Sees Strider watching him.)
Boromir: “No more than a broken heirloom.”
(Puts the sword back in its place and walks off, but the sword falls.
He does not pick it up. Strider picks up the sword, and places it back
in its place.)
Arwen: “Why do you fear the past? You are Isildur's heir, not Isildur
himself. You are not bound to his fate.”
Strider: “The same blood flows in my veins. The same weakness.”
Arwen: “You time will come. You will face the same evil and you will
defeat it.”
Arwen: “ A si i-Dhúath ú-othor. Ù or le ú or nin.”
(“The Shadow does not hold sway yet. Not over you, not over me.”)
(They are now in the garden)
Arwen: “Renech i lu i erui govannem?”
(“Do you remember when we first met?”)
Strider: “Nauthannem i ned i ol reniannen.”
(”I thought I had strayed into a dream.”)
Arwen: “Gwenwin in enniath. U-arnech in naeth i si celich.”
(“Long years have passed. You did not wear the troubles you carry now.”)
Arwen: “Renech i beth i pennen?”
(“Do you remember what I told you?”)
Strider: “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.”
(Arwen gives Aragorn the Evenstar)
Arwen: “I choose a mortal life.”
Strider: “You cannot gives me this.”
Arwen: “It is mine to give to whom I will. Like my heart.”
(They kiss. The scene switches to following morning, to the council of
Elrond.)
Elrond: “Strangers from distant lands, friends of old. You have been summoned
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 places the ring onto the table)
Boromir: “So it is true.”
Unknown: “The doom of man."
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! Non of us can. The One Ring answers to
Sauron alone. It has no other master.”
Bormir: “And 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: “An heir to the throne of Gondor.”
Aragorn: “Havo dad, Legolas.”
(“Sit down, 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: “What are we waiting for??”
(He tries to smash ring with axe,but axe breaks.)
Elrond: “The ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Glóin by any craft
that we here posses. 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 firey casem from whence it came. One of you must do this.”
(Silence)
Boromir: “One does not simply walk in to Mordor. It's 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 and ash and dust. The very air that you breathe is a poisonous fume.
Not with tenthousand men could you do this. It is folly.”
Legolas: “Have you heard nothing that 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!”
(All the elves and dwarves stand up, then everyone except Frodo, who hears
the voice of the ring, saying)
The Ring: “Ash nazg Durbatuluk, Ash nazg Gimbatul, Ash nazg Gimbatul, Ash
nazg Gimbatul!”
Frodo: “I will take it! I will take it!”
(Everyone else stops and listens to him. Gandalf closes his eyes sadly.)
Frodo: “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: “By my life or death, if I can protect you, I will. You have my
sword.”
Legolas: “And you have my bow.”
Gimli: “And my axe!”
Boromir: “You carry the fate of us all little one. If this is indeed the
will of the council, then Gondor will see it done.”
Sam: “Ha! 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: “Oi! We're coming too! You'd 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?”
(In Bilbo’s room)
Bilbo: “My old sword, Sting. Here, take it, take it.”
Frodo: “It's so light.”
Bilbo: “Yes, yes… made by the elves, you know? The blade glows blue when
orcs are close, and it’s at times like that, my lad, when you have to be
extra careful. Here's a pretty thing. Mithril. As light as a feather, and
as hard as dragons scales. Let me see you put it on.”
(Frodo begins to unbutton his shirt. Bilbo sees the Ring hanging
on Frodo’s neck.)
Bilbo: “Oh ..M-my old ring. I sh-should very much like to hold it again,
one last time.”
(Frodo begins to button up his shirt again. Bilbo, transformed by the ring,
makes a grab towards Frodo, who backs away.)
Bilbo: (cryes) “I'm sorry I brought this upon you, my boy... I'm sorry that
you must carry this burden... I'm sorry for everything!”
(Frodo places his hand on Bilbo's shoulder, and Bilbo, on Frodo's.
The Fellowship departs from Rivendell. They are travelling together.)
Gandalf: “We must hold this course west from the Misty Mountains for
forty days. If our luck holds, the Gap of Rohan will still be open to us.
From there our road turns east to Mordor.”
(The Fellowship has stopped. Boromir is teaching Merry and Pippin to use
a sword.)
Boromir: “Two, Three, Four, Five. Very good!”
Aragorn: “Move your feet.”
Merry: “That's good, Pippin.”
Pippin: “Thanks.”
Boromir: “Faster.”
Gimli: “If Anyone was to ask for my opinion, which I note they're not,
I'd say we were taking the long way round. Gandalf! We could pass through
the Mines of Moria. My cousin Balin would give us a royal welcome.”
Gandalf: “No, Gimli. I would not take the roads through Moria unless I had
no other choice.”
(Legolas sees something in the sky. Boromir is fighting with Pippin.)
Pippin: “Ahhh!”
Bormir: “Sorry.”
Pippin: “Get him!”
Merry: “Arr. He got my arm, he got my arm..”
Sam: “What is that?”
Gimli: “Nothing, it's just a wisp of cloud.”
Boromir: “Well, it's moving fast. Against the wind.”
Legolas: “Crebain from Dunland!!”
Aragorn: “Hide!!”
Boromir: “Merry, Frodo”!
Aragonr: “Come on! Come on! Take cover!”
(All hide)
Gandalf: “Spies of Saruman. The passage south is being watched. We must
take the pass of Caradhras.”
(The Fellowship is walking up the steep and snowy mountains. Frodo falls,
but Aragorn lifts him up. Frodo notes that he has dropped the ring.
Boromir picks it up.)
Aragonr: “Frodo!”
Aragorn: “Boromir.”
Boromir: “It is a strange fate. For which should suffer so much fear and
doubt. Over so small a thing. Such a little thing.”
Aragorn: “Boromir! Give the ring to Frodo.”
Boromir: “As you wish.”
Boromir: “I care not.”
(Boromir laughs and ruffles Frodo's hair)
(The birds make their way to Isengard, to Saruman.)
Saruman: “So Gandalf, you try to lead them over Caradhras. And if that
fails. Where then will you go? If the mountain defeats you, willl you
risk the more dangerous road?”
Saruman: “Cuiva nwalca Carnirasse, nai yarvaxea rasselya!”
(“Wake up cruel Redhorn! May your horn be bloodstained!”)
Legolas: “There is a fell voice on the air.”
Gandalf: “It's Saruman!!”
(An avalanche falls, but misses the Fellowship.)
Aragorn: “He's trying to bring down the mountain! Gandalf! We must turn
back!”
Gandalf: “No!!”
Gandalf: “Losto Caradhras, sedho, hodo nuitho i ‘ruith!”
(“Sleep Caradhras, be still, lie still, hold your wrath!”)
(Saruman stands on the Pinnacle of Orthanc and continues the spell)
Saruman: “Cuiva nwalca Carnirasse, nai yarvaxea rasselya; talhira notto-carinnar!
(“Bow to the power of Isengard!”)
(The second avalanche hits the Fellowship, and they are buried under the
snow. They get out of it.)
Boromir: “We must get off the mountain! Make for the gap of Rohan! Or take
the west road to my city!”
Aragorn: “The Gap of Rohan takes us too close to Isengard.”
Gimli: “If we cannot go over the mountain, let us go under it! Let
us go through the Mines of Moria.”
Saruman: “Moria. You fear to go into those mines. The Dwarves delved too
greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke there in the darkness of
Khazad-dum: Shadow, and flame!”
Gandalf: “Let the ringbearer decide… Frodo?”
Frodo: “We will go through the mines.”
Gandalf: “So be it.”
(Outside Moria)
Gimli: “The walls of Moria.”
Gandalf: “Now, let’s see. Ithildin. It mirrors only starlight and moonlight.”
(The doors are revealed)
Gandalf: “It reads: The doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak friend and enter.”
Merry: “What do you suppose that means?”
Gandalf: “Oh, it's quite simple. If you are a friend, speak the password,
and the doors will open.”
Gandalf: ”Annon Edhellen edro hi ammen!”
(“Gate of the Elves open now for me!”)
(Nothing happens)
Gandalf: “Ando Eldarinwa a lasta quettanya, Fenda Casarinwa!”
(“Gate of Elves listen to my word, Threshold of Dwarves!”)
Aragorn: “The mines are no place for a pony. Even one so brave as Bill.”
Sam: “Bye bye, Bill.”
Aragorn: “Go on, Bill. Go on. Don't worry Sam. He knows the way home.”
(Merry and Pippin are throwing stones into the water.)
Aragorn: “Do not disturb the water.”
Gandalf: “Oh, it's useless.”
Frodo: “It's a riddle. Speak friend, and enter. What's the elvish word for friend?”
Gandalf: “Mellon.”
(The doors open and the Fellowship enters.)
Gimli: “Soon Master Elf, you will enjoy the fabled hospitality of the
dwarves! Roaring fires, malt beer, red meat of the bone! This, my friend,
is the home of my cousin Balin. And they call it a mine. A MINE!”
Boromir: “This is no mine. It's a tomb.”
Gimli: “No! Nooo! NOOOO!”
Legolas: (takes out an arrow from a dead body) “Goblins!”
Boromir: “We make for the Gap of Rohan. We should never have come here!
Now get out of here! Get out!!”
(They back out, but Frodo is taken by a tentacle from a creature in the
water)
Sam: “Strider!!!”
(The hobbits slash at the creature with their swords)
Merry: “Aragorn!!”
Frodo: “Ugh! Aaah! Aaaaah!”
(They manage to free Frodo from the creature)
Gandalf: “Into the mines!!!”
Boromir: “Legolas!!”
(The creature comes out of the water and crumbles the doors down, blocking
the way out)
Gandalf: “We now have but one choice. We must face the long dark of Moria.
Be on your guard. There are older and fouler things than orcs in the deep
places of the world.”
Gandalf: “It's a four day journey to the other side. Let us hope that our
presence may go unnoticed.”
(When going upwards, Pippin lets some rocks fall onto Merry)
Merry: “Pippin!”
(Gandalf stops and looks around.)
Gandalf: “I have no memory of this place.”
(They stop for a while)
Pippin: “Are we lost?”
Merry: “No.”
Pippin: “I think we are.”
Merry: “Shhh, Gandalf’s thinking.”
Pippin: “Merry.”
Merry: “What?”
Pippin: “I'm hungry.”
Frodo: “There's something down there.”
Gandalf: “It's Gollum.”
Frodo: “Gollum?”
Gandalf: “He's been following us for three days.”
Frodo: “He escaped the dungeons of Barak Dur?”
Gandalf: “Escaped. Or was set loose. He hates and loves the Ring. As he
hates and loves himself. He will never be rid of his need for it.”
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. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not
be too eager to deal out death and judgement. Even the very wise cannot see
all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet. For good
or evil. Before this is over, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of the Ring.”
Frodo: “I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.”
Gandalf: “So do all that 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 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. Eh, it's that way.”
Merry: “He's remembered.”
Gandalf: “No, but the air doesn't smell so foul down here. If in doubt,
Meriadoc, always follow your nose.”
Gandalf: “Let me risk a little more light.”
(The light on Gandalf’s staff brightens, and the Fellowship is standing in a
great hallway, with tall pillars.)
Gandalf: “Behold the great realm of the dwarf city of Dwarrowdelf.”
Sam: “Well there's an eye opener, and no mistake.”
Gandalf: “Gimli!”
(Next the Fellowship enters The Chamber of Mazarbul.)
Gimli: “No! Oh no! No. (cries when sees the tomb of Balin.)
Gandalf: “Here lies Balin, son of Fundin, Lord of Moria.”
Gandalf: “He is dead then. It is as I feared.”
(Gandalf gives pippin his hat and staff)
Legolas: (to Aragorn) “We must move on. We cannot linger.”
Gandalf: (reads) “They have taken the bridge and the second hall. We have
barred the gates, but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes. The drums,
drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A shadow moves in the dark. We cannot get
out. They are coming.”
(Pippin touches a skeleton by a well, It falls making a lot of noise)
Gandalf: “Fool of a Took! Throw yourself in next time, and rid us of your
stupidity.”
(Drumming noises are heard from far. Frodo's sword, Sting glows blue)
Sam: “Frodo!”
Legolas: “Orcs!”
Aragorn: “Back! Stay close to Gandalf!”
(Aragorn, Boromir and Legolas bar the doors)
Boromir: “They have a cave troll.”
Gimli: “Let them come! There's one dwarf yet in Moria that still draws
breath.”
(The orcs brake throught the door: fight)
(Cave troll comes)
Sam: “I'm getting the hang of this!”
Aragorn: “Frodo!”
(Aragorn fights the troll, saving Frodo from it. Frodo gets speared by the
troll. Frodo falls down.)
Sam: “Frodo! Frodo!!!”
(Merry and Pippin jump onto the trolls back. Legolas shoots an arrow into its
throat, and the troll collapses. Aragorn crawls over to Frodo)
Aragorn: “Oh no.”
(Frodo groans.)
Sam: “He's alive.”
Frodo: “I'm alright. I'm not hurt.”
Aragorn: “You should be dead. That spear would have skewered a wild boar.”
Gandalf: “I think there's more to this hobbit than meets the eye.”
(Frodo reveals his shirt made of Mithril.)
Gimli: “Mithril! You are full of surprises, Master Baggins!”
(Orchs are heard)
Gandalf: “Quick! To the bridge of Khazad-dum!”
(The Fellowship runs. Moria is filled with orcs. Soon they are surrounded.
But from the end of the hallway, a red glow is seen. The orcs run away.
Legolas is ready to shoot, but when he realices what is coming, hi lowers
the bow.)
Boromir: “What is this new devilry?”
Gandalf: “A balrog. A demon of the ancient world. The foe is beyond any
of you. Run!!!”
Aragorn: “Gandalf!”
Gandalf: “Lead them on Aragorn. The bridge is near. Do as I say! Swords
are no more use here!”
(They encounter a gap on the stairs. Legolas jumps over it.)
Legolas: “Gandalf!”
(Gandalf jumps after him.)
Boromir: “Merry! Pippin”
(Boromir takes the two hobbits with him and jumps to the other side.)
Aragorn: “Sam.” (Throws him to Boromir.)
Gimli: “Nobody tosses a dwarf.”
(He jumps but nearly falls down. Legolas grabs him by beard)
Gimli: “Not the beard!!!”
(A huge rock falls on the stairs. They crack and start to wobble.
Aragorn and Frodo shift their weight foward.)
Aragorn: “Lean forward.”
Gandalf: “Over the bridge! Fly!”
(Gandalf remains on other side of bridge and turns to face the Balrog.)
Gandalf: “You cannot pass!”
Frodo: “Gandalf!!!”
Gandalf: “I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the falme of Anor!
The dark fire will not avail you, falme of Udun!”
(Balrog strikes Gandalf with his firewhip.)
Gandalf: “Go back to the shadow!!”
Gandalf: “YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!”
(The bridge brakes, causing the Balrog to fall. Gandalf sighs, and turns
around, but the whip of Balrog catches his ankle, and he gets pulled down.
He grabs onto the edge of the bridge, but cannot keep his grip. Boromir grabs
Frodo, to stop him running back onto the bridge.)
Frodo: “No! Gandalf!!!”
Gandalf: “Fly, you fools!”
(He falls)
Frodo: “Nooooooooooou!!!!”
(Frodo is carried away by Boromir. The fellowship leaves, but Aragorn
remains behind, still looking into the abyss. Orchs are shooting at him
with arrows.)
Boromir: “Aragorn!”
(They get out of Moria, and stop for a short while. The hobbits are crying.)
Aragorn: “Legolas. Get them up.”
Boromir: “Give them a moment for pity's sake!”
Aragorn: “By nightfall these hills will be swarming with orcs. We must
reach the woods of Lothlórien. Come Boromir, Legolas, Gimli, get them up.”
Aragorn: “On your feet Sam.” (Helps him up.)
Aragorn: “Frodo! Frodo!!”
(Frodo stops and turns around. Tears are running down his face. They now
leave, to Lothlórien.)
(In the woods of Lothlórien.)
Gimli: “Stay close, young hobbits. 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.”
Gimli: “And are never seen again.”
Galadriel’s Voice: “You’re coming to us... is as the footsteps of doom.
You bring great evil here, ringbearer.”
Sam: “Mr Frodo?”
Gimli: “Well, here's one dwarf she won't ensnare so easily. I have the
eyes of a hawk and ears of a fox.”
(Elves appear. The Fellowship is surrounded.)
Gimli: “Oh...”
Haldir: “The dwarf breathes so loud we could have shot him in the dark.”
Aragorn: “Haldir o Lórien. Henion aníron, boe ammen i dulu lîn. Boe ammen
veriad lîn.”
(“Haldir of Lorien. We come here for help. We need your protection.”)
Gimli: “Aragorn! These woods are perilous. We should go back!”
Haldir: “You have entered the Realm of the Lady of the Wood. You cannot
go back. Come, she is waiting.”
(They arriwe at Caras Galadhon. Celeborn and Galadriel meet the Fellowship.)
Celeborn: “Eight that there are here, yet 9 there were set out from
Rivendell. Tell me, where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him.
(Galadriel looks at Aragorn’s eyes for the answer.)
Galadriel: “He has fallen into shadow.”
Galadriel: “The quest stands upon the edge of a knife. Stray but a little,
and it will fail to the ruin of all.”
(She looks at Boromir who starts shakeing.)
Galadriel: “Yet hope remains while company is true.”
(Now she looks at Sam)
Galadriel: “Do not let your hearts be troubled, go now and rest, for you
are weary with sorrow and much toil. Tonight, you will sleep in peace..”
Voice of Galadriel to Frodo: “Welcome, Frodo of the Shire, one who has seen
the Eye!”
Legolas: “A lament for Gandalf.”
Merry: “What do they say about him?”
Legolas: “I have not the heart to tell you. For me the grief is still to
near.”
Aragorn: (to Boromir) “Take some rest. These borders are well protected.”
Boromir: “I will find no rest here. I heard a voice inside my head. She
spoke of my father and the fall of Gondor. She said to me, even now there
is hope left. But I cannot see it. It is long since we had any hope.”
Boromir: “My father is a noble man, but his rule if failing. And then our,
our people lose faith. He looks to me to make things right, and I, I would
do it. I would see the glory of Gondor restored.”
Boromir: “Have you ever seen it, Aragorn? The white tower of Ecthelion.
Glimmering like a spike of pearl and silver. It's banner caught high in
the morning breeze. Have you ever been called home by the clear ringing
of silver trumpets?”
Aragorn: “I have seen the White City. Long ago.”
Boromir: “One day our paths will lead us there. And the tower guard shall
take up the call. For the Lords of Gondor have returned.”
(Others are sleeping. Frodo sees Galadriel walking somewhere, and follows her.)
(She fills the ewer with water.)
Galadriel: “Will you look into the mirror?”
Frodo: “What will I see?”
Galadriel: “Even the wisest cannot tell. For the mirror shows many things.”
(pours the water in to a silver basin.)
Galadriel: “Things that were.”
Galadriel: “Things that are.”
Galadriel: “And some things, that have not yet come to pass.”
(Frodo looks into the mirror. He sees Legolas, then Sam and Pippin.
They all look sad. He sees the Shire, filled with orchs and fire.
Sam is seen with his ankles chained on a line with many other hobbits.
They are all whipped. Frodo sees the Eye of Sauron. He feels the Ring
slipping in towards the mirror, but pulls it backwards, falling onto
the ground.)
Galadriel: “I know what it was that you saw. For it is also in my mind.”
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 all.”
Frodo: “If you ask it of me, I will give you the One Ring.”
(Offers the Ring to Galadriel)
Galadriel: “You offer it to me freely.”
Galadriel: “I do not deny that my heart has greatly desried this.”
Galadriel: “ In the place of a dark lord, you would have a QUEEN!”
(She changes, by the power of the Ring, and she seems very powerful)
Galadriel: “NOT DARK, BUT BEAUTIFUL AND TERRIBLE AS THE DAWN! TREACHEROUS
AS THE SEA! STRONGER THAN THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH! ALL SHALL LOVE ME
AND DESPAIR!”
(She becomes normal again)
Galadriel: “I pass the test. I will diminish, and go into the west, and
remain Galadriel.”
Frodo: “I cannot do this alone.”
Galadriel: “You are a ringbearer, Frodo. To bear a Ring of power is to
be alone.”
Galadriel: “This task was appointed to you, and if you do not find a way,
no one will.”
Frodo: “Then I know what I must do, it's just, I'm afraid to do it.”
Galadriel: “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.”
(In Orthanc in Isengard.)
Saruman: “Do you know how the orcs first came into being? They were elves,
once, taken by the dark powers, tortured, and mutilated. Ruined, and
terrible for life. Now, perfected, my fighting Uruk-Hai. Whom do you serve?”
Lurtz: ”Saruman.”
Saruman: “Hunt them down! Do not stop until they are found. You do not know
pain, you do not know fear. You will taste man flesh!”
Saruman: “One of the half-lings carries something of great value. Bring them
to me alive and unspoilt. Kill the others.”
(In Lothlórien)
Galadriel: “Farewell, Frodo Baggins.”
Galadriel: “I give you the light of Eärindil, our most beloved star.”
Galadriel: “Namarié”
(“Farewell”)
(The Fellowship row off. Galadriel stands on the shore and waves at them)
Voice of Galadriel: “May it be a light for you in dark places, when all
other lights go out.”
(Orcs are running along the river)
Aragorn: “Frodo. The Argornath. Long have I desired to look upon the Kings
of old. My kin.”
(They stop rowing, and rest on the western shore)
Aragorn: “We cross the lake at nightfall. Hide the boats, and continue on
foot. We approach Mordor from the north.”
Gimli: “Oh yes? It’s just a simple matter of finding our way through Emyn
Muil? An impassable labyrinth of razor sharp rocks? And after that, it gets
even better! The festering, stinking marshlands, as far as the eye can see.”
Aragorn: “That is our road. I suggest you take some rest and recover your
strength, Master Dwarf.”
Gimli: “Recover my strength!”
Legolas: (to Aragorn) “We should leave now.”
Aragorn: “No. Orcs patroll the eastern shore. We must wait for the cover
of darkness.”
Legolas: “It is not the eastern shore that worries me. A shadow and a threat
has been growing in my mind. Something draws near. I can feel it.”
Gimli: “Recover strength...”
Gimli: (To Pippin) “Pay no heed to that, young hobbit.”
Merry: “Where's Frodo?”
(Boromir is missing too)
Boromir: “None of us should wander alone. You least of all.”
Boromir: “So much depends on you. Frodo?”
Boromir: “I know why you seek solitude. You suffer. I see it day by day.
You sure you do not suffer needlessly? There are other ways, Frodo. Other
paths that we might take.”
Frodo: “I know what you would say, and it would seem like wisdom, but for warning in my heart.”
Boromir: “Warning? Against what? We're all afraid, Frodo, but to let that
fear drive us to destroy what hope we have. Don't you see, it's madness.”
Frodo: “There is no other way.”
Boromir: “I ask only for the strength to defend my people! If you would
but lend me the ring.”
Frodo: “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!”
Boromir: “You fool! It is not yours save by unhappy chance.”
(Boromir chases Frodo)
Boromir: “It should have been mine!”
Boromir: “Give me the ring! Give it to me!”
(Boromr gets hold of Frodo)
Frodo: “No!”
(Frodo puts the Ring in to his finger and disappears. He hits Boromir)
Boromir: “I see your mind!! You will take the ring to Sauron!”
Boromir: “You will betray us! You go to your death! And the death of us
all! Curse you!! Curse you! And all the half-lings!”
(Boromir slips and comes to his senses)
Boromir: “Frodo? Frodo? What have I done? Please, Frodo…”
(Frodo is in the Shadow world and sees the Orthanc and the Eye of Sauron.
He takes the ring off.)
Aragorn: “Frodo?”
Frodo: “It has taken Boromir.”
Aragorn: “Where is the Ring?”
Frodo: “Stay away!”
Aragorn: “Frodo! I swore to protect you.”
Frodo: “Can you protect me from yourself?!”
(Frodo shows him the ring)
Frodo: “Would you destroy it?”
(Aragorn kneels beside Frodo, and closes Frodo's hand over the ring.)
Aragorn: “I would have gone with you to the end. Into the very fires
of Mordor.”
Frodo: “I know. Look after the others. Especially Sam. He will not
understand.”
(Orcs are close)
Aragorn: “Come on Frodo. Run. Run!!”
(Aragorn faces the orchs and fights them)
Sam: “Mr Frodo!”
Lurtz: “Find the Half-lings! Find the Half-lings!”
Aragorn: “Elendil!!”
(Legolas and Gimli come to help Aragorn)
Legolas: “Aragorn! Go!”
(Frodo hides behind a tree. Merry and Pippin are hiding near.)
Merry: “Frodo!”
Pippin: “Hide here, quick! Come on!”
(Frodo shakes his head)
Pippin: “What's he doing?”
(Frodo shakes his head again)
Merry: “He's leaving!”
Pippin: “No!!”
Merry: “Pippin!”
(Pippin jumps out of his hiding place. Merry follows him. Orcs
are coming)
Merry: “Run, Frodo. Go!”
Merry: “Hey, hey you! Over here!”
Pippin: “Over here! Over here! This way!”
(The Uruk-Hai chases them)
Pippin: “It's working!”
Merry: “I know it's working! Run!”
(Legolas and Gimli are fighting the orcs. Merry and Pippin are surrounded
by orcs. Boromir comes along, and defends them. He blows to his horn.)
Legolas: “The horn of Gondor!”
Aragorn: “Boromir!”
(They make their way towards Boromir, who gets shot by an orch. Still,
he continues to fight. He gets shot three times. He falls. Merry and Pippin
try to fight the orcs, but are taken captive. Lurtz is about to shoot Boromir
in the head, but Aragorn manages to kill it. Boromir is lying on the ground)
Boromir: “They took the little ones.”
Aragorn: “Lay still.”
Boromir: “Frodo. Where is Frodo?”
Aragorn: “I let Frodo go.”
Boromir: “Then you did what I could not. I tried to take the ring from him.”
Aragorn: “The ring is beyond our reach now.”
Boromir: “Forgive me. I did not see it. I have failed you all.”
Aragorn: “No, Boromir. You fought bravely. You have kept your honour.”
(Aragorn is about to take an arrow out of Boromir’s chest)
Boromir: “Leave it! It is over. The world of men will fall. And the whole
world will come to darkness. My city to ruin.”
Aragorn: “I do not know what strength is in my blood. But I swear to you,
I will not let the White City fall. Nor our people fail.”
Boromir: “Our people. Our people.”
(Aragorn gives him his sword. Legolas and Gimli see Aragorn leaning over Boromir)
Boromir: “I would have followed you , my brother. My captain. My king.”
(Boromir dies)
Aragorn: Be at peace, son of Gondor.
(He kisses his forehead. Frodo is standing by the boats with the Ring in
his palm.)
Sam: “Frodo!”
(Flashback)
Gandalf: “So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them
to decide. All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given
to you.”
(Frodo closes his hand and sets out in one of the boats. Sam reaches the
shore)
Sam: “Frodo, no!!!”
Frodo: “No, Sam. Go back sam. I'm going to Mordor alone.”
Sam: “ Of course you are. And I'm coming with you!!”
Frodo: “You can't swim. Sam!”
(Sam's head goes under water)
Frodo: “Sam!!”
(Frodo rows the boat back, and pulls Sam into it).
Sam: “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 too.”
Frodo: !Oh, Sam. Come on then.”
(They row off and Boromir is laid to rest in one of the boats. The boat
slips over the falls of Rauros. Legolas is ready to leave with the third
boat.)
Legolas: “Hurry! Frodo and Sam have reached the eastern shore.”
(Aragorn makes no sign of following.)
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.”
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.”
Aragorn: “Let's hunt some orc.”
Gimlil: “Yeah!!”
(Legolas smiles and they run off)
(Frodo and Sam are looking over to Mordor)
Frodo: “Mordor. I hope the others find a safer road.”
Sam: “Strider will look after them.”
Frodo: “I don't suppose we'll ever see them again.”
Sam: “We may yet, Mr Frodo. We may.”
Frodo: “Sam. I'm glad you're with me.”
