A broil of fume he sends ahead of his host.
A day may come when the courage of Men fails...
A diversion.
A doorway.
A faint and fading hope that one day it will flower.
A far green country...
A fleet of Corsair ships sails from the south.
A Fourth Age of Middle earth began.
A generous deed should not be checked with cold counsel.
A light from the shadow shall spring
A light on the water
A light on the water
A light shone behind me...
A Man of Rohan?
A pale moon rises
A pale moon rises
A ship lies anchored in the Grey Havens.
A sleepless malice.
A slight tingle in my fingers.
A storm is coming.
A thousand years this city has stood.
A tree.
A true esquire of Rohan.
A very foolish one...
Aah! Aah!
Abandon your posts!
Across the sea

Afool...
Ah, don't listen to me.
Ah! You waste your time, Aragorn.
Aha. Old Greybeard.
Aim for the trolls! Kill the trolls!
Aim for their heads!
Aim for their heads!
All has turned to vain ambition.
All my friends have gone to battle.
All of your fears Will pass away
All right.
All shall
All shall fade
All she gets is filthy Orcses.
All souls pass
All will answer Mordor's call.
ALL: Death!
ALL: Hail!
Already burning.
Amen Din.
An Elf will go underground where a Dwarf dare not?
An hour of wolves and shattered shields...
And all will turn
And all will turn
And do not mention Frodo or the Ring.
And dream Of the ones who came before
And for the Shire!
And gladly I accept it.
And he did, Gandalf.
And he would be right to do so.
And I know I can't save Middle earth.
And I shall not forget it...
And I tell you now, I will not bow to this Ranger from the North...
And it has been saved.
And man and beast must reach the end with the strength to fight.
And none of my riders can bear you as a burden.
And none of my riders can bear you as a burden.
And of horses.
And one day your father will see it.
And Rohan will answer.
And say nothing of Aragorn either.
And so lsildur cursed them...
And so the people of Gondor fell into ruin.
And take it for me!
And that's for my old Gaffer!
And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket.
And the Dead keep it.
And the Dead keep it.
And the Fellowship of the Ring...
And The Lord of the Rings by Frodo Baggins.
And the orchards will be in blossom.
And the White Tree, the tree of the king...
And then it's into the tunnel.
And then the pass of Cirith Ungol.
And then you see it.
And there are many paths to tread
And they doesn't taste very nice, does they, precious?
And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields...
And thus now will I sleep.
And tonight is for you.
And we forgot the taste of bread...
And we only wish To catch a fish
And we wept, precious.
And we will.
And what did you tell him?
And what did you tell him?
And when he returned...
And when she throws away the bones and the empty clothes...
And when they go in...
And who is this?
And why should your songs be unfit for my halls?
And with your right you'd seek to supplant me.
And you ? You're coming with me?
And you better hope we don't have one of those on our tail.
And you'll be here In my arms
AndUril, the Flame of the West, forged from the shards of Narsil.
Another opportunity for one of the Shire folk to prove their great worth.
Anything happens to him, you have me to answer to.
ARAGORN: Not for ourselves.
ARAGORN: The beacons of Minas Tirith! The beacons are lit!
ARAGORN: You may go no further.
Are you going to leave me?
Arise, arise, Riders of Théoden!
Arwen is dying.
ARWEN: From the ashes a fire shall be woken
ARWEN: I choose a mortal life.
ARWEN: Tell me what you have seen. ELROND: Arvven.
ARWEN: You have the gift of foresight.
Arwen's life is now tied to the fate of the Ring.
As many men as can be found. You have two days.
As Sauron's power grows, her strength wanes.
As the one we drink in our hometown As the one we drink in our hometown
Assemble the army at Dunharrow.
At least, well enough for my own people.
Aye.
Back in the line!
Back to the gate!
Bad idea.
Bag End.
Battalions of Orcs are crossing the river.
Be at peace.
Be careful.
Be free of him.
Because 10,000 Orcs now stand between Frodo and Mount Doom.
Because...
Become who you were born to be.
Begging your pardon, but they haven't.
Better to die sooner than late.
BILBO [WEAKLY]: Tell me again, lad, where are we going?
Bilbo's story was now over.
Bless my bark!
Boromir died to save us...
Boromir was always the soldier.
Boromir was loyal to me!
Boromir would have remembered his father's need.
Boromir would not have brought the Ring.
Break it up! Break it up!
Brego!
Bring it down! Bring it down! Bring it down!
Bring them down!
Bring wood and oil.
But But we'll see each other soon.
But he's a liar.
But I'm not.
But in secret he sends another force which will attack from the river.
But it is not lost.
But it is not this day.
But it is not this day.
But not for me.
But nothing can breach it.
But strong.
But the Great Eye has seen it.
But the only brew for the brave and true
But there is a wizard to manage here...
But there is also life.
But they knows.
But we can give Frodo his chance if we keep Sauron's Eye fixed upon us.
But we have no songs for great halls...
But we have the White Wizard. That's got to count for something.
But we will meet them in battle nonetheless.
But when the time came...
But you could save them, Saruman.
But you know this, don't you, Gandalf?
But you'll never find a beer so brown But you'll never find a beer so brown
By all that you hold dear on this good earth...
By you and whose army?

Can we not take counsel together as we once did, my old friend?
Can you sing, Master Hobbit?
Catapults!
Caught in a web
Certainty of death...
Charge!
Childless lords sat in aged halls, musing on heraldry...
City of kings.
Clever Hobbits to climb so high!
Climb.
Cloud and shade
Come along, you scum...
Come away, Hobbits. We climb. We must climb.
Come away. Come away. Look, we have found it.

CORSAIR BOSUN: Boarded?
Courage for our friends.
Courage is the best defense that you have now.
Courage, Merry.

Death is just another path...
Death!
Death!
Death!
Definitely from the Shire.
Denethor has lost his mind!
DENETHOR: My sons are spent.
Destroy it!
Die now.
Dig it, you slugs. Move it.
Disloyalty with vengeance.
Do not look down.
Do not stop the attack until the city is taken.
Do not throw away your life so rashly.
Do we know that?
Do you not know?
Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo?
Do you remember the taste of strawberries?
Do you think the eyes of the White Tower are blind?
Don't go where I can't follow.
Don't leave me here alone.
Don't let go.
Don't say
Don't touch him!
Don't you know we're at war?
Don't you let go.

EOMER: The scouts report Minas Tirith is surrounded.
EOWYN: The city has fallen silent.
Eowyn.
Eowyn...
Eowynm.
Even in defeat, Saruman is dangerous.
Even now he presses his advantage.
Ever you desire to appear lordly and gracious...
Every day, Frodo moves closer to Mordor.
Every hour lost hastens Gondor's defeat.
Everywhere, legions of the enemy advance.
Fade
Fall back to the second level!
Fall back. Fall back to Minas Tirith!
Fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your master.

For Frodo.
For us.
For what?
Form up! Move out!

Fresh blood.
Frodo has passed beyond my sight.
Frodo, get down!
FRODO: Go, Sam. Now!
FRODO: Hit me, Sam. Start fighting.
FRODO: Hit me. SAM: What?
FRODO: I think these lands were once part of the kingdom of Gondor.
FRODO: It's so heavy.
FRODO: No, Sam.
FRODO: No.
FRODO: Not quite.
FRODO: Sam, help me.
FRODO: Sam, help me.
FRODO: Stop it!
FRODO: There are so many of them.

From the north shall he come.
From this hour henceforth...

GANDALF: No.
GANDALF: Peregrin Took!

GANDALF. Sauron has yet to reveal his deadliest servant...
Gandalf's fireworks.
Get away!
Get back into the line, you slugs!
Get back there and smash it down.
Get back, you!
Get down, our!
Get him to the tower!
Get off of me!
Get the women and children out!
Get them out!
Get up.
Gibbets and crows?
GIMLI: Aragorn.
GIMLI: Just where do you think you're off to?
GIMLI: That road there...
GIMLI: What is it?
GIMLI: What kind of army would linger in such a place?
Gimli!
Give it to me.
Give me the Ring, Sam.
Give me the Ring.
Give me your hand!
Give us that, Déagol, my love.
Go away! Get out of here!
Go back to the abyss.
Go home.
Go in...
Go now and die in what way seems best to you.
Go on! Now!
Go.
GOLLUM [SINGING]: Naughty little fly

GOLLUM: Come, Hobbitses.
GOLLUM: Hide! Hide!
GOLLUM: No time to lose, silly.

GOLLUM: Yes!
Gollum.
Gollum. Gollum.
GOLLUM. They cursed us.
Gondor calls for aid.
Gondor is lost.
Good night, lads.
GORBAG: What's this?
GORBAG: You touch it, and I'll stick this blade in your gut.
GOTHMOG: Form ranks, you maggots. Form ranks!
Grey ships pass
Grima, you need not follow him.
Grima...
Grimbold, how many?
Grimbold, take your company right after you pass the wall.
Grond will breach it.
Grond! Grond! Grond!
Grond! Grond! Grond!
Grond! Grond! Grond!
Guard of the Citadel, indeed.
Guard of the Citadel.
GUARD: Pull!
GUARD: Take them down!
GUARD: The beacon. The beacon of Amon Din is lit.
GUARD: Where are Theoden's riders?
Ha! Back!
Hail Denethor, son of Ecthelion, lord and steward of Gondor.
Hail the victorious dead.
Hands off!
Have you learned nothing of the stubbornness of Dwarves?
Haven't you had any sleep, Mr. Frodo?
He asked me my name. I didn't answer.
He did.
He doesn't eat it.
He has as much cause to go to war as you.
He has suffered a defeat, yes...
He hurt me.
He is a steward only, a caretaker of the throne.
He is an honorable man.
He is burning.
He is here.
He is the lord of the Nazgfil...
He is to depart these lands, never to return.
He knows the heir of Elendil has come forth.
He leaves because he must.
He leaves because there is no hope.
He needs it. Sméagol sees it in his eye.
He needs medicine, my lord.
He needs time and safe passage across the plains of Gorgoroth.
He shall pass the door to the Paths of the Dead.
He stabbed Frodo on Weathertop.
He told Sauron nothing of Frodo and the Ring.
He took it.
He took it. He must have!
He wants it for himself.
He wants it.
He will not risk the peoples of Middle earth uniting under one banner.
He will not take the bait.
He will raze Minas Tirith to the ground...
He will remember it before the end.
He would even use his grief as a cloak.
He would flee.
He would have brought me a kingly gift.
He would have stretched out his hand to this thing and taken it. He would've fallen.
He's a horrid, fat Hobbit...
He's a villain.
He's always followed me...
He's burning Faramir alive!
He's going to be looking for you, Pip. They have to get you out of here.
He's not dead!
He's not dead!
He's poisoned you against me.
Help must come to us.
Here at last, on the shores of the sea...
Here the hammer stroke will fall hardest.
Here, here.
Here, just Let's just rest a bit.
Here.
Hey, watch the pumpkin.
Hey, what's in this tunnel?
Hey!
Hi.
Hidden.
Hide!
His attack will come soon.
His defeat at Helm's Deep showed our enemy one thing.
His full strength's gathered.
Hobbit meat.
Hold them back! Do not give in to fear.
Hold your ground! Hold your ground.
Hope fades
Hope is kindled.
Horse Men.
How did you escape and my son did not...
How do you go on...
How far is Minas Tirith?
Huh. Ha.
Hurry, men! To the wall! Defend the wall!
Hurry!
Hurry! Hurry!
Hurry.
Hurry.
I am going to save you.
I am lsildur's heir.
I am no man.
I am steward of the House of Anérion.
I bring 500 men from the Westfold, my lord.
I can feel his blade.
I can see him...
I can see the Shire.
I can't carry it for you...
I can't go back.
I can't recall the taste of food...
I can't...
I can't... I can't manage the Ring, Sam.
I cannot give you what you seek.
I come on behalf of one whom I love.
I come with tidings in this dark hour, and with counsel.
I could carry it for a while.
I could carry it...l could carry it.
I could do that.
I could hear his voice in my head.
I could help a bit.
I could only stand there, waiting.
I did what I judged to be right.
I didn't think it would end this way.
I didn't think they would find any livery that would fit me.
I do not believe it.
I do not believe this darkness will endure.
I do not doubt his heart, only the reach of his arm.
I do not fear death.
I do not think we should so lightly abandon the outer defenses...
I don't think I'll be coming back.
I don't think there will be a return journey, Mr. Frodo.
I don't understand.
I don't want to be in a battle...
I dreamed I saw a great wave...
I fear war already marches on their own lands.
I feel like I'm back at The Green Dragon.
I feel something.
I go to my fathers...
I guess that concludes negotiations.
I have a sword.
I have a token I was bidden to show thee.
I have left instruction.
I have left instruction.
I have no use for it!
I have seen more than you know.
I have some for you.
I have some for you.
I have to destroy it for both our sakes.
I have to destroy it, Sméagol.
I have wished you joy since first I saw you.
I heard it from his own mouth. He means to murder us.
I hold your oath fulfilled.
I just want to help my friends.
I just want to help.
I keep none for myself.
I knew that.
I knew you'd find me.
I know it is too late to turn aside.
I know there is not much point now in hoping.
I know who rides with Théoden of Rohan.
I know you've run out. You smoke too much, Pippin.
I know, Sam. I know.
I looked into your future, and I saw death.
I mean, they don't actually expect me to do any fighting.
I need you on my side.
I offer you my service, such as it is...
I offer you my service, Théoden King.
I release you from my service.
I ride for Minas Tirith...
I saw him.
I saw him.
I saw...
I saw...
I see in your eyes...
I see shapes of men.
I seen him. He's always stuffing his face when master's not looking.
I should like to have held it one last time.
I stood upon the brink.
I summon you to fulfill your oath.
I take my leave.
I think I'm...
I think it's affecting me.
I think you have strength of a different kind.
I thought I'd lost you.
I want to fight.
I want to fight.
I will gladly give my life to defend her beauty...
I will kill you if you touch him.
I will not be held prisoner here.
I will not say, Do not weep...
I will not.
I will say no more.
I wish I could muster a legion of Dwarves, fully armed and filthy.
I wish I could've seen him...
I wish that.
I would be ashamed to be left behind.
I would get him into the worst sort of trouble...
I would have you smile again...
I would not use the Ring.
I'll take that, my lad.
I'll whip you down to the bone, you...
I'm a Hobbit.
I'm afraid I lost it.
I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee...
I'm glad you've come.
I'm going to look after you.
I'm gonna bleed you like a stuck pig.
I'm here, Sam.
I'm on your side, Mr. Frodo.
I'm ready.
I'm so sorry, Sam.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry to wake you, Mr. Frodo.
I'm sorry, all right?
I'm sorry, Sam.
I'm sorry, Uncle.
I'm watching you.
I'm...
I've gone and had too much.
I've got a fish, Sméag. Sméagol!
I've got one!
I've heard enough!
I've rationed it.
I've sent him to his death.
If ever I was to marry someone...
If I leave him now...
If I should return, think better of me, Father.
If I were a knight of Rohan, capable of great deeds...
If Sauron had the Ring, we would know it.
If the beacons of Gondor are lit, Rohan must be ready for war.
If the Orcs attack from the north, we'll have some warning.
If the river is taken, if the garrison at Osgiliath falls...
If you do not find a way...
IL...
In fact, it's better if you don't speak at all, Peregrin Took.
In there.
Inspecfion!
Into the West
Into the world of night
IORLAS: It is as the Lord Denethor predicted.
IORLAS: Open the gate! Quick!
Is it time?
Is Sméagol losing his nerve?
Is there a captain here who still has the courage to do his lord's will?
Is there any hope, Gandalf, for Frodo and Sam?
Is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me?
It grows so cold.
It has been remade.
It is a long road ahead.
It is a three day gallop to Minas Tirith.
It is but a shadow and a thought that you love.
It is the road to the Dimholt, the door under the mountain.
It is time, Frodo.
It is time, Frodo.
It is time.
It isn't all that dangerous.
It isn't midday yet.
It isn't.
It should have been brought back to the Citadel to be kept safe.
It takes more to make a king than a broken Elvish blade.
It waits to carry her across the sea.
It waits to carry her across the sea.
It was dead.
It was made by those who are dead.
It was made by those who are dead.
It was not Théoden of Rohan who led our people to victory.
It was the precious.
It was utterly dark in the abyss before my feet.
It wasn't us. It wasn't us!
It will destroy you, Sam.
It will not be our end, but his.
It will soon be over.
It would've been her.
It'll be spring soon.
It's always dark here.
It's been four years to the day since Weathertop, Sam.
It's coming!
It's dark still.
It's done.
It's going to the Great Eye, along with everything else.
It's gone.
It's him, the Eye.
It's just a feeling.
It's just the damp of the first spring rain.
It's never really healed.
It's not even sharp.
It's only a matter of time.
It's ours!
It's over now.
It's Pippin.
It's so quiet.
It's sticky. What is it?
It's such a weight to carry.
It's that Gollum.
It's that thing around your neck.
It's the deep breath before the plunge.
It's the Dwarves that go swimming with little, hairy women.
It's the only way.
It's the tree.
It's this place.
It's tradition for the women of the court to farewell the men.
It's you.
It's... it's...
Just a fool's hope.
Just let it go!
Just like Frodo and Sam.
Just one more time.
Just sleeping
Keep him blind to all else that moves.
Kill him!
Kill him!
Kill them. Kill them. Kill them both.
KING OF THE DEAD: Who enters my domain?
King Théoden awaits you, my lord.
Kings made tombs more splendid than the houses of the living...
Know that he suffered greatly at the hands of his host.
L'I'S gone!
Last one standing wins.
Lay down
LEAD ORC: March! March!
Leastways, it would be in decent places where there is still teatime.
Leave me.
Legions of Haradrim from the south...
Legolas, fire a warning shot past the bosun's ear.
LEGOLAS: One that is cursed.
LEGOLAS: Pale banners like shreds of cloud.
Legolas!
Legolas!
Let him go, you filth.
Let him go!
Let him rot! Why should we care?
Let him stay there.
