Pippin: “Is there any hope, Gandalf, for Frodo and Sam?” Gandalf’s reply: “There never was much hope. I can’t carry it for you…but I can carry YOU!” I’m…naked in the dark, with nothing…no veil…between me…and the wheel of fire! I can see him…with my waking eyes!” The loyal Samwise tells him, “Then let us be rid of it…once and for all! Come on, Mr. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?” Frodo replies, “No, Sam, I can’t recall the taste of food…nor the sound of water…nor the touch of grass. And they’ll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields…and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. Samwise (with Frodo, both exhausted): “Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Gandalf: “The battle for Helm’s Deep is over the battle for Middle-Earth is about to begin.” Creatures I had known from nut or acorn.” Treebeard (mourning the death of his fellow trees): “Many of these trees were my friends. To stay behind bars till use and old age accept them and all chance of valor has gone beyond recall of desire.” I fear neither death nor pain.” When asked what she fears, Eowyn replies, “A cage. What do trees have to talk about, hmm…except the consistency of squirrel droppings?”Įowyn (impressing Aragorn with her swordplay): “The women of this country learned long ago, those without swords can still die upon them. Gimli (after being warned that the trees in Fangorn Forest have feelings and can speak): “Talking trees. I did not pass through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm!” Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. Gandalf (to the creepy Wormtongue): “Be silent. Samwise, Frodo, and Gollum struggle to reach Mordor. Ugluk (an Orc that has just beheaded one of his fellows who wanted to eat Merry and Pippin): “Looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!” (Gotta admit, I love this line!) And so he will strike hard and fast at the world of Men.” But he is not so mighty yet that he is above fear. From the summit of Barad-dur his eye watches ceaselessly. Gandalf (to Aragorn): “The veiling shadow that glowers in the East takes shape. Sneaky little hobbitses! Wicked, tricksy, false!” Gollum (arguing with his alter ego, Smeagol): “We wants it, we needs it. Frodo was really courageous, wasn’t he?’” Samwise (thinking about the uncertain future): “I wonder if people will ever say, ‘Let’s hear about Frodo and the Ring,’ and they’ll say, ‘Yes, that’s one of my favorite stories. I’m going to Mordor alone.” To which the loyal Sam replies, “Of course you are. It is folly.”įrodo (to Galadriel): “I know what I must do, it’s just that…I’m afraid to do it.” Her reply: “Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.”įrodo (to Samwise): “Go back, Sam. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. “What about second breakfast?” Aragorn walks off as Merry says, “I don’t think he knows about second breakfast, Pip.” A nonplussed Pippin asks, “What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn’t he?” “I wouldn’t count on it,” Merry tells him.īoromir (advising the Fellowship that their quest will not be a stroll in the park): “ One does not simply walk into Mordor. In a lighter scene Aragorn tells Merry and Pippin, “Gentlemen, we do not stop till nightfall.” Pippin asks, “What about breakfast?” to which Aragorn replies, “You’ve already had it.” “We’ve had one, yes,” says Pippin. The Fellowship prepares to embark on its quest.
