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.

Quotes:

Bilbo Baggins: I'm Mr. Bilbo Baggins, I've lost my dwarves, my wizard and my way.

Bilbo Baggins: A box without hinges, key, or a lid, yet golden treasure inside is hid.::Gollum: Eggs! Eggs is the answer.

Thorin: May the hair on his toes never fall off!

Gandalf the Grey: I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means ME!

Bilbo Baggins: Surely you realize that your success has made you some bitter enemies?::Smaug: [laughs] Revenge? You? I am SMAUG! I kill when I wish! I am strong, strong, STRONG! My armor is like tenfold shields! My teeth like swords! My claws, spears! The shock of my tail, a thunderbolt! My wings, a hurricane! And my breath, death!

Gandalf the Grey: [Bilbo and Gandalf enter Thorin's tent. Thorin lies dying] I have brought him.::Thorin: Farewell. good thief. I wish to part in friendship, and would take back my words at the gate.::Bilbo Baggins: There were many words I would take back, also.::Thorin: And does it take this to make us to see each other?::Bilbo Baggins: Thorin...::Thorin: Hush. You are no coward, my friend. I am sorry I so named you.::Bilbo Baggins: This is not important...::Thorin: I was wrong. You did understand war. It was I who did not... until now.::Bilbo Baggins: Farewell, King Under the Mountain.::Thorin: Child of the kindly West, I have come to know, if more of us valued your ways - food and cheer above hoarded gold - it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell.::Bilbo Baggins: [crying] Farewell, Thorin.

Bilbo Baggins: No hat, no stick, no pipe, not even a pocket handkerchief. How can one survive?

Bilbo Baggins: We hobbits are plain, quiet creatures. Adventures make one late for dinner.

[as the Battle of Three - ultimately Five - Armies opens, the Men and Elves and Dwarves charge each other... all from different angles]::Men: Scurvy dwarves! Thieving dwarves! Kill them!::Elves: Kill the dwarves! Chop them up! Take their heads!::Dwarves: Kill the men! Kill the elves! Save the gold for ourselves!::Bilbo Baggins: [bringing up the dwarves' rear] Personally, I'd rather be back in Hobbitton.

[as Bilbo and the dwarves are getting ready for the Battle of Three - ultimately Five - Armies, "Mister Baggins" complains about his ill-fitting war-gear]::Bilbo Baggins: This is deucedly uncomfortable. I'm certain to get a rash!::Thorin: That armor was forged in the foundaries of my grandfather. Wear it proudly, and it will carry you to victory!::Bilbo Baggins: Confusticate and be-bother victory! I hope only to be taken prisoner as quickly as possible!::Thorin: Those are the words of a COWARD!::Bilbo Baggins: The coward who flushed out Smaug? The coward who saved you time and time again? The coward who always went forward while you cringed behind?::Thorin: You don't see us cringing NOW, do you?::Bilbo Baggins: This is MADNESS! Fourteen against ten thousand, and yet you march off to certain destruction as merrily as if you were on your way to another tea party!::Thorin: Your kind will never understand war, hobbit. This is WAR!
