Gimli: What kind of army would linger in such a place? Legolas: One that is cursed. Long ago the men of the mountain swore an oath to the last king of Gondor, to come to his aid, to fight. But when the time came, when Gondor's need was dire, they fle...
Aragorn: We have time. Every day Frodo moves closer to Mordor. Gandalf: Do we know that? Aragorn: What does your heart tell you? Gandalf: That Frodo is alive. Yes. Yes, he's alive.
Gollum: Wake up. Wake up. Wake up, sleepies. We must go, yeeees, we must go at once. Sam: Haven't you had any sleep, Mr. Frodo? [Frodo shakes his head] Sam: I've gone and had too much... it must be getting late. Frodo: No, it isn't. It isn't midday, ...
Sam: [Frodo is being drawn toward Cirith Ungol] No, Mr. Frodo! Gollum: [in a panic] Not that way! Oh! What's he doing?
[first lines] Deagol: Smeagol, I've got one! I've got a fish, Smeag. Smeagol! Smeagol: Pull it in. Go on. Go on. Go on. Pull it in.
Sam: It must be getting near tea-time, leastways in decent places where there *is* still tea-time. Gollum: We're not *in* decent places.
Sam: [Frodo stops walking] Mr. Frodo? What is it? Frodo: Just a thought... I don't think I'm going to be returning. Sam: Of course you are. That's just morbid thinking, that is.
Eowyn: Courage, Merry, courage for our friends.
Denethor: Is there a captain here who still has the courage to do his lord's will? Faramir: You wish now that our places had been exchanged... that I had died and Boromir had lived. Denethor: Yes. [whispering] Denethor: I wish that. Faramir: Since yo...
Theoden: I have left instruction. The people are to follow your rule in my stead. Take up my seat in the Golden Hall. Long may you defend Edoras if the battle goes ill. Eowyn: What other duty would you have me do? Theoden: Duty? No... I would have yo...
Gamling: He leaves because there is no hope. Theoden: He leaves because he must. Gamling: Too few have come. We cannot defeat the armies of Mordor. Theoden: No. We cannot. But we will meet them in battle nonetheless.
Sam: You miserable little maggot. I'll stove your head in!
Sam: I heard it from his own mouth! He means to murder us! Gollum: Never! Smeagol wouldn't hurt a fly!
[Merry gives Pippin a tobacco pouch at their parting] Pippin: The last of the Longbottom leaf? Merry: I know you've run out. You smoke too much, Pip.
Frodo: The Ring is mine.
Gandalf: 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!
Theoden: I take my leave. Aragorn: My Lord Elrond. Elrond: I come on behalf of one whom I love. Arwen is dying. She will not long survive the evil that now spreads from Mordor. The light of the Evenstar is failing. As Sauron's power grows, her streng...
Pippin: It's so quiet. Gandalf: It's the deep breath before the plunge. Pippin: I don't want to be in a battle. But waiting on the edge of one I can't escape is even worse.
