Taglines: The eye of the enemy is moving. This Christmas the journey ends. There can be no triumph without loss. No victory without suffering. No freedom without sacrifice.

Quotes:

Gandalf: He's suffered a defeat, yes, but... behind the walls of Mordor, our enemy is regrouping.::Gimli: Let him stay there. *Let him rot!* Why should we care?::Gandalf: Because ten-thousand Orcs now stand between Frodo and Mount Doom. I've sent him to his death.::Aragorn: No. There is still hope for Frodo. He needs time... and safe passage across the plains of Gorgoroth. We can give him that.::Gimli: How?::Aragorn: Draw out Sauron's armies. Empty his lands. Then we gather our full strength and march on the Black Gate.::Eomer: We cannot achieve victory through strength of arms.::Aragorn: Not for ourselves. But we can give Frodo his chance if we keep Sauron's Eye fixed upon us. Keep him blind to all else that moves.::Legolas: A diversion.::Gimli: Certainty of death, *small* chance of success... What are we waiting for?::Gandalf: Sauron will suspect a trap. He will not take the bait.::Aragorn: [knowingly] No, I think he will.

Sam: [reading the book's title] There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Tale by Bilbo Baggins, and The Lord of the Rings by Frodo Baggins. You finished it.::Frodo: Not quite. There's room for a little more.

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.

Merry: [triumphantly, as Barad-Dur crumbles] Frodo! Frodo!

Aragorn: For Frodo!

Aragorn: Let the Lord of the Black Land come forth! Let justice be done upon him!::The Mouth of Sauron: My master, Sauron the Great, bids thee welcome. Is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me?::Gandalf: We do not come to treat with Sauron, faithless and accursed. Tell your master this: the armies of Mordor must disband. He is to depart these lands, never to return.::The Mouth of Sauron: Ahh, old Greybeard. I have a token I was bidden to show thee.::[Pulls out Frodo's mithril vest and throws it at them]::Pippin: [whispers] Frodo...::Gandalf: Silence.::Merry: No!::Gandalf: Silence!::The Mouth of Sauron: The halfling was dear to thee, I see. Know that he suffered greatly at the hands of his host. Who would've thought one so small could endure so much pain? And he did, Gandalf, he did.::[pause; Aragorn rides towards the Mouth of Sauron]::The Mouth of Sauron: And who is this? Isildur's heir? It takes more to make a King that a broken Elvish blade...::[Aragorn cuts off the Mouth of Sauron's head with one stroke of Anduril]::Gimli: I guess that concludes negotiations.::Aragorn: [to Gandalf] I do not believe it! I will not!

Sam: [Both are overcome by exhaustion] Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields... and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?::Frodo: No, Sam. I can't recall the taste of food... nor the sound of water... nor the touch of grass. 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!::Sam: Then let us be rid of it... once and for all! Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you!

Sam: FRODO!::Frodo: I'm here, Sam.::Sam: Destroy it!::[Frodo holds the ring on its chain over the edge of the pit]::Sam: Go on! Now! Throw it in the fire!::[Frodo stares at the ring, the ring whispers to him]::Sam: What are you waiting for? Just let it go!::[Frodo turns and looks at Sam]::Frodo: The ring is mine.::[He snaps the chain and approaches the ring to his finger]::Sam: No... no...::[Frodo slips the ring on and vanishes]::Sam: NO!

Sam: [tearing the spider silk away from Frodo's face] Oh no! Frodo... Mr. Frodo, wake up... Don't leave me here alone. Don't go where I can't follow... Wake up.

Sam: I don't think there will be a return journey, Mr. Frodo.

Quotes:

voiceover: And some things that should not have been forgotten were lost. History became legend; legend became myth.

Sauron: You cannot hide. I see you. There is no life in the void. Only death.

Aragorn: Are you frightened?::Frodo: Yes.::Aragorn: Not nearly frightened enough. I know what hunts you.

Frodo: What do you want?::Aragorn: A little more caution from you; that is no trinket you carry.::Frodo: I carry nothing.::Aragorn: Indeed. I can avoid being seen if I wish, but to disappear entirely, that is a rare gift.

Boromir: [holding the ring after Frodo has lost it] It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing.

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 to.

Aragorn: If by my life or death I can protect you, I will. You have my sword...::Legolas: And you have my bow.::Gimli: And *my* axe.::Boromir: You carry the fate of us all, little one. If this is indeed the will of the Council, then Gondor will see it done.

Elrond: Nine companions. So be it. You shall be the fellowship of the ring.::Pippin: Great! Where are we going?

Gandalf: They are one; the ring and the Dark Lord. Frodo, he must never find it.::Frodo: [gets up to hide the ring] All right. We'll put it away. We'll keep it hidden, we'll never speak of it again. No one knows it's here, do they? [Gandalf doesn't answer]::Frodo: Do they, Gandalf?

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 shown 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; his 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 in the caverns of Isengard. An army that can move in sunlight and cover great distance at 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 withstand both Mordor and Isengard. Gandalf, the Ring cannot stay here. This evil belongs to all of 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 toil away in caverns, 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 Blood of Numenor is all but spent, its pride and dignity forgotten. It is because of Men the Ring survives. I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand years ago. I was there the day the strength of Men failed.::Elrond: [scene switches to a flashback of Elrond and Isildur] Isildur, hurry, follow me.::Elrond: [voiceover] I led Isildur deep into the fires 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.::[walks away]::Elrond: Isildur!::[cuts back to present]::Elrond: Isildur kept the Ring. It should have ended that day, but evil was allowed to endure. There's no strength left in the world of Men. They're 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.
