Share this quote on facebook And thus it was a Fourth Age of Middle-earth began. And the Fellowship of the Ring, though eternally bound by friendship and love, was ended.

Share this quote on facebook How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold.

Share this quote on facebook I do not fear death.

Share this quote on facebook Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!

Share this quote on facebook [To Pippin, in the extended edition] They guard it because they have hope. Faith and fading hope that one day it will flower. That a king will come and this city will be as it once was before it fell into decay. The old wisdom that was borne out of the West was forsaken. Kings made tombs more splendid than the houses of the living and counted the names of their descent dearer than the names of their sons. Childless lords sat in aged halls musing on heraldry or in high, cold towers asking questions of the stars. And so the people of Gondor fell into ruin. The line of Kings failed, the White Tree withered, and the rule of Gondor was given over to lesser men.

Share this quote on facebook [to Pippin]: Now, listen carefully. Lord Denethor is Boromir's father. To give him news of his beloved son's death would be most unwise. And do not mention Frodo, or the Ring. And say nothing of Aragorn either. [hesitates] In fact, it's better if you don't speak at all, Peregrin Took.

Share this quote on facebook Éomer: [to Éowyn, about Merry] You know as little of war as that Hobbit. When the fear takes him, and the blood, and the screams, and the horrors of battle take hold, do you think he would stand and fight? He would flee. And it would be right to do so. War is the province of Men, Éowyn.

Share this quote on facebook [The following only appears in the Extended Edition]
Saruman: You have fought many wars and slain many Men, Théoden king, and made peace afterwards. Can we not take council together as we once did, my old friend? Can we not have peace, you and I?
Théoden: We shall have peace. We shall have peace, when you answer for the burning of the Westfold, and the children that lie dead there! We shall have peace, when the lives of the soldiers, whose bodies were hewn even as they lay dead against the Gates of the Hornburg, are avenged! When you hang from a gibbet, for the sport of your own crows, we shall have peace!
Saruman: Gibbets and crows?! Dotard! [to Gandalf] What do you want, Gandalf Greyhame? Let me guess - the Key of Orthanc? Or perhaps the keys of Barad-dûr itself, along with the crowns of the Seven Kings and the rods of the Five Wizards!
Gandalf the White: Your treachery has already cost many lives. Thousands more are now at risk. But you could save them, Saruman. You were deep in the enemy's council.
Saruman: [smiling] So you have come here for information. I have some for you. [holds out the Palantír] Something festers in the heart of Middle Earth. Something that you have failed to see. But the Great Eye has seen it. Even now, he presses his advantage. His attack will come soon. You are all going to die. But you know this, don't you, Gandalf? [indicates Aragorn] You cannot think that this Ranger will ever sit upon the Throne of Gondor! This exile, crept from the shadows, will never be crowned king! Gandalf does not hesitate to sacrifice those closest to him, those he professes to love. Tell me, what words of comfort did you give the halfling, before you sent him to his doom? The path that you have set him on can only lead to death.
Gimli: I've heard enough! [to Legolas] Shoot him, stick an arrow in his gob!
Gandalf the White: No. Come down, Saruman, and your life will be spared.
Saruman: Save your pity and your mercy! I have no use for it! [shoots a ball of fire from his staff at Gandalf, who emerges unharmed]
Gandalf the White: [sternly] Saruman! Your staff is broken! [as he speaks, Saruman's staff shatters in his hands. From behind him, Gríma Wormtongue appears]
Théoden: Gríma! You need not follow him. You were not always as you are now. You were once a Man of Rohan! Come down.
Saruman: "A Man of Rohan"? What is the House of Rohan, but a thatched barn, where brigards drink in the reek, and their brats roll on the floor with the dogs?! The victory at Helm's Deep does not belong to you, Théoden Horse-Master! You are a lesser son of greater sires!
Théoden: [to Gríma] Gríma, come down. Be free of him.
Saruman: Free?! He will never be free!
Gríma Wormtongue: No.
Saruman: Get down, cur! [hits him across the face]
Gandalf the White: Saruman! You were deep in the enemy's council. Tell us what you know.
Saruman: You withdraw your guard and I will tell you where your doom will be decided. I will not be held prisoner here!
[From behind him, Gríma suddenly stabs him in the back repeatedly. Legolas shoots him with an arrow to the heart, killing him, while Saruman topples from Orthanc to his death on a spiked wheel below]

Gollum: Shhh! Quiet! Mustn't wake them, mustn't ruin it now!
Sméagol: But they knows, they knows. They suspects us!
Gollum: What is it saying, my Precious, my love? Is Sméagol losing his nerve?
Sméagol: No! Not! Never! Sméagol hates nasty Hobbitses! Smeagol wants to see them... dead.
Gollum: And we will. Sméagol did it once, he can do it again. It's ours. Ours!
Sméagol: We must get the Precious. We must get it back!
Gollum: Patience! Patience, my love. First we must lead them to her.
Sméagol: We lead them to the winding stair.
Gollum: Yes, the stairs. And then?
Sméagol: Up, up, up, up, up the stairs we go. Until we come to... the tunnel!
Gollum: And when they go in, there's no coming out. She's always hungry, she always needs to feed. She must eat, or she gets filthy Orcses.
Sméagol: And they doesn't taste very nice, does they, Precious?
Gollum: No... not very nice at all, my love. She hungers for sweeter meats. Hobbit meat. And when she throws away the bones, and the empty clothes, then we will find it!
Sméagol: And take it for me!
Gollum: [menacing] For us.
Sméagol: [cowed] Yes, we... we meant for us.
Gollum: [coughs] Gollum! Gollum! The Precious will be ours... once the Hobbitses are dead! [Gollum sees Sam's reflection over his shoulder, having heard everything]
Samwise Gamgee: You treacherous little prick! [hits Sméagol and begins strangling him]
Sméagol: No! No! Master!
Frodo Baggins: [wakes up] No, Sam! Leave him alone!
Samwise Gamgee: I heard it from his own mouth! He means to murder us!
Sméagol: Never! Sméagol wouldn't hurt a fly! [screams] He's a horrid, fat Hobbit, who hates poor Sméagol, and who makes up nasty lies!
Samwise Gamgee: You miserable little maggot! I'll stove your head in!! [lunges at Sméagol, but Frodo restrains him] Call me a liar?! You're a liar!
Frodo Baggins: You scare him off, we're lost!
Samwise: I don't care! I can't do it, Mr. Frodo, I won't wait around for him to kill us!
Frodo Baggins: I'm not sending him away.
Samwise Gamgee: You don't see it, do you? He's a damn villain.
Frodo Baggins: We can't do this by ourselves, Sam. Not without a guide. I need you on my side.
Samwise Gamgee: I'm on your side, Mr. Frodo.
Frodo Baggins: I know, Sam. I know. Trust me. Come, Sméagol. [Smeagol follows Frodo and looks at Sam; Gollum grins evilly at Sam]

Share this quote on facebook Gandalf the White: There was no lie in Pippin's eyes. A fool, but an honest fool he remains. He told Sauron nothing of Frodo and the Ring. We've been strangely fortunate. Pippin saw in the Palantír a glimpse of the Enemy's plan. Sauron moves to strike the city of Minas Tirith. His defeat at Helm's Deep showed our Enemy one thing. He knows the Heir of Elendil has come forth. Men are not as weak as he supposed. There is courage still, strength enough perhaps to challenge him. Sauron fears this. He will not risk the Peoples of Middle Earth uniting under one banner. He will raze Minas Tirith to the ground before he sees a King return to the Throne of Men. If the Beacons of Gondor are lit, Rohan must be ready for war.
Théoden: Tell me, why should we ride to the aid of those who did not come to ours? What do we owe Gondor?
Aragorn: I will go.
Gandalf the White: No.
Aragorn: They must be warned.
Gandalf the White: They will be. You must come by another road. Follow the River. Look to the Black Ships. Understand this. Things are now in motion that cannot be undone. I ride for Minas Tirith. [Glances at Pippin] And I won't be going alone.

Merry Brandybuck: I know you've run out. You smoke too much, Pip.

Merry Brandybuck: I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen.

Share this quote on facebook Gandalf the White: Hail, Denethor, Son of Ecthelion, Lord and Steward of Gondor. I come with tidings in this dark hour, and with counsel.
Denethor: Perhaps you come to explain this? [holds up Boromir's broken horn] Perhaps you come to tell me why my son is dead?
Pippin Took: Boromir died to save us, my kinsman and me. He fell, defending us from many foes.
Gandalf the White: Pippin!
Pippin Took: [kneels before Denethor] I offer you my service, such as it is, in payment of this debt.
Denethor: This is my first command to you. How did you escape and my son did not, so mighty a Man as he was?
Pippin Took: The mightiest Man may be slain by one arrow. Boromir was pierced by many.
Gandalf the White: [nudges Pippin with his staff] Get up. [to Denethor] My Lord, there will be a time to grieve for Boromir, but it is not now. War is coming. The Enemy is on your doorstep! As Steward, you are charged with the defense of this city. Where are Gondor's armies? You still have friends. You are not alone in this fight. Send word to Théoden of Rohan. Light the beacons.
Denethor: You think you are wise, Mithrandir, yet for all your subtleties you have not wisdom. Do you think the eyes of the White Tower are blind? I have seen more than you know. With your left hand you would use me as a shield against Mordor and with your right you would seek to supplant me. I know who rides with Théoden of Rohan. Oh, yes. Word has reached my ears of this Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and I tell you now, I will not bow to this Ranger from the North! Last of a ragged house, long bereft of Lordship.
Gandalf the White: Authority is not given to you to deny the return of the King, Steward!
Denethor: The rule of Gondor is MINE! And no other's!

Gandalf the White: All has turned to vain ambition! He would even use his grief as a cloak! A thousand years this city has stood. Now, at the whim of a madman, it will fall. And the White Tree, the Tree of the King, will never bloom again.
Pippin Took: Why are they still guarding it then?
Gandalf the White: They guard it because they have hope. A faint and fading hope, that one day it will flower. A King will come, and this city will be as it once was. Before it fell into decay. The old wisdom born out of the West was forsaken. Kings made tombs more splendid than the houses of the living, and counted the names of their descent dearer than the names of their sons. Childless lords sat in aged halls, musing on heraldry, or in high cold towers asking questions of the stars. And so, the people of Gondor fell into ruin. The line of Kings failed. The White Tree withered. The rule of Gondor was given over to lesser men.
Pippin Took: [staring towards Mordor] Mordor.
Gandalf the White: Yes, there it lies. This city has dwelt ever in the sight of its shadow.
Pippin Took: A storm is coming.
Gandalf the White: This is not the weather of the world. This is a devise of Sauron's making, a broil of fume he sends ahead of his host. The Orcs of Mordor have no love of daylight. So he covers the face of the sun to ease their passage along the road to war. When the shadow of Mordor reaches this city, it will begin.
Pippin Took: Well, Minas Tirith, very impressive. So where are we off to next?
Gandalf the White: Oh, it's too late for that, Peregrin. There's no leaving this city. Help must come to us.

Samwise Gamgee: Must be getting near teatime. Leastways it would be in decent places where there is still teatime.
Sméagol: We're not in decent places.
[Sam turns back to Frodo, who has paused suddenly]
Samwise Gamgee: Mr. Frodo? What is it?
Frodo Baggins: It's just a feeling. I don't think I'll be coming back.
Samwise Gamgee: Yes, you will. Of course you will. That's just morbid thinking. We're going there and back again, just like Mr. Bilbo. You'll see.

Share this quote on facebook Pippin Took: [looking at his armor] So, I imagine this is just a ceremonial position. I mean, they don't actually expect me to do any fighting. Do they?
Gandalf the White: You're in the service of the Steward now. You're going to have to do as you're told, Peregrin Took, Guard of the Citadel!
Pippin Took: It's so quiet.
Gandalf the White: It's the deep breath before the plunge.
Pippin Took: I don't want to be in a battle, but waiting on the edge of one I can't escape is even worse. Is there any hope, Gandalf... for Frodo and Sam?
Gandalf the White: There never was much hope. Just a fool's hope. Our enemy is almost ready, his full strength gathered. Not only Orcs, but men as well; legions of Haradrim from the South, mercenaries from the coast- All will answer Mordor' s call. This will be the end of Gondor as we know it. Here the hammerstroke will fall hardest. If the river is taken, if the garrison at Osgiliath falls, the last defence of this city will be gone.
Pippin Took: But we have the White Wizard. That's got to count for something. [Gandalf does not answer] Gandalf?
Gandalf the White: Sauron has yet to reveal his deadliest servant. The one who will lead Mordor's armies in war. The one they say no living Man can kill. The Witch-King of Angmar! You've met him before. He stabbed Frodo on Weathertop. He is the Lord of the Nazgûl, the greatest of the Nine. Minas Morgul is his lair.

Frodo: Sam! Stop it! Sam! [Pulls Sam away from Gollum] Sam! No!
Sam: Oh, my! I'm sorry. I didn't mean it to go so far. I was just so, so angry. Here, let's, let's just rest a bit.
Frodo: I'm all right.
Sam: No. You're not all right. You're exhausted. It's that Gollum. It's this place. It's that thing around your neck. I could help a bit. I could carry it for a while. [The words echo in Frodo's mind] Carry it for a while...I could carry it...I could carry it...Share the load...Share the load...The load...The load...
[Frodo pushes Sam away upon hearing the echoes]
Frodo: Get away!!
Sam: I don't want to keep it! I just want to help.

Frodo Baggins: It's gone! It's done!
Samwise Gamgee: Yes, Mr. Frodo. It's over now.
Frodo Baggins: [closes his eyes] I can see the Shire. The Brandywine River. Bag End. Gandalf's fireworks, the lights, the party tree.
Samwise Gamgee: Rosie Cotton dancing. She had ribbons in her hair. If ever I was to marry someone... it would have been her. It would have been her!
Frodo Baggins: I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things.

Galadriel: The power of the Three Rings is ended. The time has come...for the dominion of Men.
Elrond: [in Elvish] The Sea calls us home.
Bilbo Baggins: [smiling] I think I'm... quite ready for another adventure! [Bilbo climbs on board with Elrond. Galadriel follows with Celeborn]
Gandalf the White: Farewell, my brave Hobbits. My work is now finished. Here at last, on the shores of the sea... comes the end of our Fellowship. I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil. [heads to the ship, then turns around, waiting] It is time, Frodo.
Samwise Gamgee: What does he mean?
Frodo Baggins: We set out to save the Shire, Sam. And it has been saved... But not for me.
Samwise Gamgee: [crying] You don't mean that. You can't leave.
Frodo Baggins: [hands Sam the Red Book] The last pages are for you, Sam.
[Frodo hugs Merry, Pippin and Sam, then turns to board the ship. He pauses on the gangplank, then turns back one final time and smiles warmly at them and boards. As the ship departs, Merry and Pippin turn and walk back, whiles Sam stays to watch the ship disappear across the horizon.]

Frodo Baggins: [voice over] My dear Sam. You cannot always be torn in two. You have to be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be and to do. Your part in the story will go on.
Samwise Gamgee: [to his family] Well, I'm back. [He enters his home with his family. The motion slows down as he closes his door. Fade to black, and the story ends with these words: The End.]
