1. The world is changed.Copy !req
2. I feel it in the water.Copy !req
3. I feel it in the earth.Copy !req
4. I smell it in the air.Copy !req
5. Much that once was...Copy !req
6. is lost.Copy !req
7. For none now live who remember it.Copy !req
8. It began with the forging
of the Great Rings.Copy !req
9. Three were given to the Elves:Copy !req
10. Immortal, wisest and fairest
of all beings.Copy !req
11. Seven to the Dwarf-lords:Copy !req
12. Great miners and craftsmen
of the mountain halls.Copy !req
13. And nine...Copy !req
14. nine rings were gifted
to the race of Men...Copy !req
15. who, above all else, desire power.Copy !req
16. For within these rings was bound
the strength and will to govern each race.Copy !req
17. But they were all of them deceived.Copy !req
18. For another ring was made.Copy !req
19. In the land of Mordor,
in the fires of Mount Doom...Copy !req
20. the Dark Lord Sauron forged
in secret a Master Ring...Copy !req
21. to control all others.Copy !req
22. And into this Ring he poured
his cruelty, his malice...Copy !req
23. and his will to dominate all life.Copy !req
24. One Ring to rule them all.Copy !req
25. One by one...Copy !req
26. the Free Lands of Middle-earth
fell to the power of the Ring.Copy !req
27. But there were some who resisted.Copy !req
28. A Last Alliance of Men and Elves
marched against the armies of Mordor.Copy !req
29. And on the slopes of Mount Doom, they
fought for the freedom of Middle-earth.Copy !req
30. Victory was near.Copy !req
31. But the power of the Ring...Copy !req
32. could not be undone.Copy !req
33. It was in this moment...Copy !req
34. when all hope had faded...Copy !req
35. that lsildur, son of the king,
took up his father's sword.Copy !req
36. Sauron, the enemy of the Free Peoples
of Middle-earth, was defeated.Copy !req
37. The Ring passed to lsildur...Copy !req
38. who had this one chance
to destroy evil forever.Copy !req
39. But the hearts of Men...Copy !req
40. are easily corrupted.Copy !req
41. And the Ring of Power
has a will of its own.Copy !req
42. It betrayed Isildur...Copy !req
43. to his death.Copy !req
44. And some things
that should not have been forgotten...Copy !req
45. were lost.Copy !req
46. History became legend...Copy !req
47. legend became myth.Copy !req
48. And for
two and a half thousand years...Copy !req
49. the Ring passed
out of all knowledge.Copy !req
50. Until, when chance came...Copy !req
51. it ensnared a new bearer.Copy !req
52. My precious.Copy !req
53. The Ring came
to the creature Gollum...Copy !req
54. who took it deep into the tunnels
of the Misty Mountains.Copy !req
55. And there it consumed him.Copy !req
56. It came to me.Copy !req
57. My own. My love. My own.Copy !req
58. My precious.Copy !req
59. The Ring brought
to Gollum unnatural long life.Copy !req
60. For 500 years it poisoned his mind.Copy !req
61. And in the gloom of Gollum's cave,
it waited.Copy !req
62. Darkness crept back
into the forests of the world.Copy !req
63. Rumor grew of a shadow in the East...Copy !req
64. whispers of a nameless fear.Copy !req
65. And the Ring of Power perceived...Copy !req
66. its time had now come.Copy !req
67. It abandoned Gollum.Copy !req
68. But something happened then
the Ring did not intend.Copy !req
69. It was picked up by the most unlikely
creature imaginable.Copy !req
70. What's this?Copy !req
71. A Hobbit.Copy !req
72. Bilbo Baggins of the Shire.Copy !req
73. A ring.Copy !req
74. Lost!Copy !req
75. My precious is lost!Copy !req
76. For the time will soon come...Copy !req
77. when Hobbits will shape
the fortunes of all.Copy !req
78. The 22nd day of September...Copy !req
79. in the year 1400...Copy !req
80. by Shire-reckoning.Copy !req
81. Bag End, Bagshot Row, Hobbiton,
Westfarthing...Copy !req
82. the Shire...Copy !req
83. Middle-earth.Copy !req
84. The Third Age of this world.Copy !req
85. There and Back Again:Copy !req
86. A Hobbit's Tale.Copy !req
87. By Bilbo Baggins.Copy !req
88. Now...Copy !req
89. where to begin?Copy !req
90. Ah, yes...Copy !req
91. "Concerning...Copy !req
92. Hobbits."Copy !req
93. Hobbits have been living and farming
in the four Farthings of the Shire...Copy !req
94. for many hundreds of years...Copy !req
95. quite content to ignore
and be ignored...Copy !req
96. by the world of the Big Folk.Copy !req
97. Middle-earth being, after all,
full of strange creatures beyond count...Copy !req
98. Hobbits must seem
of little importance...Copy !req
99. being neither renowned
as great warriors...Copy !req
100. nor counted among the very wise.Copy !req
101. Frodo! Someone at the door.Copy !req
102. In fact, it has been remarked by some...Copy !req
103. that Hobbits' only real passion
is for food.Copy !req
104. A rather unfair observation...Copy !req
105. as we have also developed a keen
interest in the brewing of ales...Copy !req
106. and the smoking of pipe-weed.Copy !req
107. But where our hearts truly lie...Copy !req
108. is in peace and quiet...Copy !req
109. and good, tilled earth.Copy !req
110. For all Hobbits share a love
of things that grow.Copy !req
111. And, yes, no doubt to others,
our ways seem quaint.Copy !req
112. But today of all days,
it is brought home to me:Copy !req
113. It is no bad thing
to celebrate a simple life.Copy !req
114. Frodo, the door!Copy !req
115. Sticklebacks. Where is that boy?Copy !req
116. Frodo!Copy !req
117. Down from the door where it beganCopy !req
118. And I must follow if I canCopy !req
119. The road goes ever on and onCopy !req
120. Down from the door where it beganCopy !req
121. Now far ahead the road has goneCopy !req
122. - And I must follow if I can
- You're late.Copy !req
123. A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins.Copy !req
124. Nor is he early. He arrives
precisely when he means to.Copy !req
125. It's wonderful to see you, Gandalf!Copy !req
126. You didn't think I'd miss
your Uncle Bilbo's birthday?Copy !req
127. How is the old rascal?Copy !req
128. I hear it's going to be a party
of special magnificence.Copy !req
129. You know Bilbo.
He's got the whole place in an uproar.Copy !req
130. Well, that should please him.Copy !req
131. Half the Shire's been invited.Copy !req
132. And the rest of them are turning up
anyway.Copy !req
133. And so life in the Shire goes on...Copy !req
134. very much as it has
this past Age...Copy !req
135. full of its own comings and goings,
with change coming slowly.Copy !req
136. If it comes at all.Copy !req
137. For things are made to endure
in the Shire...Copy !req
138. passing from one generation
to the next.Copy !req
139. There's always been a Baggins
living here under the Hill...Copy !req
140. in Bag End.Copy !req
141. And there always will be.Copy !req
142. To tell you the truth,
Bilbo's been a bit odd lately.Copy !req
143. I mean, more than usual.Copy !req
144. He's taken to locking himself
in his study.Copy !req
145. He spends hours poring over old maps
when he thinks I'm not looking.Copy !req
146. Where's it gone?Copy !req
147. He's up to something.Copy !req
148. - All right, then. Keep your secrets.
- What?Copy !req
149. But I know you have something
to do with it.Copy !req
150. Good gracious me.Copy !req
151. Before you came along, we Bagginses
were very well thought of.Copy !req
152. Indeed.Copy !req
153. Never had any adventures
or did anything unexpected.Copy !req
154. If you're referring to the incident
with the dragon, I was barely involved.Copy !req
155. All I did was give your uncle
a little nudge out of the door.Copy !req
156. Whatever you did, you've been officially
labeled a disturber of the peace.Copy !req
157. Oh, really?Copy !req
158. Gandalf! Gandalf!Copy !req
159. Fireworks, Gandalf!Copy !req
160. Gandalf!
Fireworks, Gandalf!Copy !req
161. Gandalf?Copy !req
162. - L'm glad you're back.
- So am I, dear boy.Copy !req
163. So am I.Copy !req
164. Whoa, whoa.Copy !req
165. No, thank you!Copy !req
166. We don't want any more visitors,
well-wishers or distant relations!Copy !req
167. And what about very old friends?Copy !req
168. Gandalf?Copy !req
169. - Bilbo Baggins.
- My dear Gandalf!Copy !req
170. Good to see you. 111 years old!
Who would believe it?Copy !req
171. You haven't aged a day.Copy !req
172. Come on, come in!Copy !req
173. Welcome, welcome.Copy !req
174. Oh, here we are.Copy !req
175. Tea? Or maybe something
a little stronger?Copy !req
176. I've got a few bottles
of the Old Winyard left. 1296.Copy !req
177. Very good year. Almost as old as I am.Copy !req
178. It was laid down by my father.
What say we open one, eh?Copy !req
179. Just tea, thank you.Copy !req
180. Oh!Copy !req
181. I was expecting you sometime
last week.Copy !req
182. Not that it matters. You come and go as
you please. Always have and always will.Copy !req
183. You caught me a bit unprepared. We've
only got cold chicken and a bit of pickle...Copy !req
184. There's some cheese here.
No, that won't do.Copy !req
185. We've got raspberry jam,
an apple tart...Copy !req
186. But not much for afters.
Oh, no, we're all right.Copy !req
187. I've just found some sponge cake.Copy !req
188. I could make you some eggs
if you'd—Copy !req
189. - Just tea, thank you.
- Oh, right.Copy !req
190. - You don't mind if I eat, do you?
- No, not at all.Copy !req
191. Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins!Copy !req
192. I'm not at home!Copy !req
193. It's the Sackville-Bagginses.Copy !req
194. - I know you're in there!
- They're after the house.Copy !req
195. They've never forgiven me
for living this long.Copy !req
196. I've got to get away from these confounded
relatives, hanging on the bell all day...Copy !req
197. never giving me a moment's peace.Copy !req
198. I want to see mountains again.
Mountains, Gandalf!Copy !req
199. And then find somewhere quiet
where I can finish my book. Oh, tea.Copy !req
200. - So you mean to go through with your plan?
- Yes, yes. It's all in hand.Copy !req
201. All the arrangements are made.Copy !req
202. Oh, thank you.Copy !req
203. Frodo suspects something.Copy !req
204. Of course he does. He's a Baggins...Copy !req
205. not some blockheaded Bracegirdle
from Hardbottle.Copy !req
206. You will tell him, won't you?Copy !req
207. - Yes, yes.
- He's very fond of you.Copy !req
208. I know.Copy !req
209. He'd probably come with me
if I asked him.Copy !req
210. I think in his heart, Frodo's
still in love with the Shire.Copy !req
211. The woods, the fields.Copy !req
212. Little rivers.Copy !req
213. I am old, Gandalf.Copy !req
214. I know I don't look it, but I'm
beginning to feel it in my heart.Copy !req
215. I feel thin.Copy !req
216. Sort of stretched...Copy !req
217. like butter scraped
over too much bread.Copy !req
218. I need a holiday. A very long holiday.Copy !req
219. And I don't expect I shall return.Copy !req
220. In fact, I mean not to.Copy !req
221. Old Toby. The finest weed
in the Southfarthing.Copy !req
222. Ah.Copy !req
223. Gandalf, my old friend...Copy !req
224. this will be a night to remember.Copy !req
225. Hello, hello.Copy !req
226. Fatty Bolger. Lovely to see you.
Welcome, welcome.Copy !req
227. Go on, Sam. Ask Rosie for a dance.Copy !req
228. - I think I'll just have another ale.
- Oh, no, you don't.Copy !req
229. Go on!Copy !req
230. So there I was...Copy !req
231. at the mercy
of three monstrous trolls.Copy !req
232. And they were all arguing
amongst themselves...Copy !req
233. about how they were
going to cook us.Copy !req
234. Whether it be turned on a spit, or to sit
on us one by one, squash us into jelly.Copy !req
235. They spent so much time arguing
the whithertos and the whyfors...Copy !req
236. that the sun's first light
crept over the top of the trees...Copy !req
237. and turned them all to stone!Copy !req
238. Quickly.Copy !req
239. Whoa!Copy !req
240. UP they go!Copy !req
241. No, the big one.Copy !req
242. Mrs. Bracegirdle, how nice to see you.
Welcome, welcome.Copy !req
243. Are all these children yours?Copy !req
244. Good gracious,
you have been productive.Copy !req
245. Bilbo?Copy !req
246. Sackville-Bagginses!Copy !req
247. Quickly, hide!Copy !req
248. Thank you, my boy.Copy !req
249. You're a good lad, Frodo.Copy !req
250. I'm very selfish, you know.Copy !req
251. Yes, I am. Very selfish.Copy !req
252. I don't know why I took you in
after your mother and father died...Copy !req
253. but it wasn't out of charity.Copy !req
254. I think it was because...Copy !req
255. of all my numerous relations...Copy !req
256. you were the one Baggins
that showed real spirit.Copy !req
257. Bilbo, have you been
at the Gaffer's home brew?Copy !req
258. No.Copy !req
259. Well, yes, but that's not the point.Copy !req
260. The point is, Frodo...Copy !req
261. you'll be all right.Copy !req
262. - Done!
- You're supposed to stick it in the ground.Copy !req
263. - It is in the ground.
- Outside!Copy !req
264. This was your idea.Copy !req
265. Bilbo.Copy !req
266. Bilbo, watch out for the dragon!Copy !req
267. Nonsense. There hasn't been a dragon
in these parts for a thousand years.Copy !req
268. - That was good.
- Let's get another one.Copy !req
269. Meriadoc Brandybuck and Peregrin Took.Copy !req
270. I might've known.Copy !req
271. Speech, Bilbo!Copy !req
272. Speech!Copy !req
273. Speech!Copy !req
274. My dear Bagginses and Boffins...Copy !req
275. "Kooks and Brandybucks...Copy !req
276. Grubbs, Chubbs...Copy !req
277. Hornblowers...Copy !req
278. Bolgers...Copy !req
279. Bracegirdles...Copy !req
280. and Proudfoots.
- Proudfeet!Copy !req
281. Today is my 111th birthday!Copy !req
282. Happy birthday!Copy !req
283. But alas, eleventy-one years is
far too short a time to live among...Copy !req
284. such excellent
and admirable Hobbits.Copy !req
285. I don't know half of you
half as well as I should like...Copy !req
286. and I like less than half of you
half as well as you deserve.Copy !req
287. I, uh—Copy !req
288. I have things to do.Copy !req
289. I've put this off far too long.Copy !req
290. I regret to announce this is the end!Copy !req
291. I'm going now.Copy !req
292. I bid you all a very fond farewell.Copy !req
293. Goodbye.Copy !req
294. I suppose you think
that was terribly clever.Copy !req
295. Come on, Gandalf.
Did you see their faces?Copy !req
296. There are many magic rings in this world,
and none of them should be used lightly.Copy !req
297. It was just a bit of fun.Copy !req
298. Oh, you're probably right, as usual.Copy !req
299. - You will keep an eye on Frodo, won't you?
- Two eyes.Copy !req
300. As often as I can spare them.Copy !req
301. - L'm leaving everything to him.
- What about this ring of yours?Copy !req
302. - Is that staying too?
- Yes, yes.Copy !req
303. It's in an envelope over there
on the mantelpiece.Copy !req
304. No. Wait, it's...Copy !req
305. here in my pocket.Copy !req
306. Isn't that—? Isn't that odd, now?Copy !req
307. Yet, after all, why not?Copy !req
308. - Why shouldn't I keep it?
- I think you should leave the ring behind.Copy !req
309. Is that so hard?Copy !req
310. Well, no.Copy !req
311. And yes.Copy !req
312. Now it comes to it,
I don't feel like parting with it.Copy !req
313. It's mine. I found it! It came to me!Copy !req
314. - There's no need to get angry.
- Well, if I'm angry, it's your fault!Copy !req
315. It's mine.Copy !req
316. My own.Copy !req
317. - My precious.
- Precious?Copy !req
318. It's been called that before,
but not by you.Copy !req
319. What business is it of yours
what I do with my own things?Copy !req
320. I think you've had that ring
quite long enough.Copy !req
321. - You want it for yourself!
- Bilbo Baggins!Copy !req
322. Do not take me for some conjurer
of cheap tricks.Copy !req
323. I am not trying to rob you.Copy !req
324. I'm trying to help you.Copy !req
325. All your long years,
we've been friends.Copy !req
326. Trust me as you once did.Copy !req
327. Let it go.Copy !req
328. You're right, Gandalf.Copy !req
329. The ring must go to Frodo.Copy !req
330. It's late. The road is long.Copy !req
331. Yes, it is time.Copy !req
332. - Bilbo.
- Hm?Copy !req
333. The ring is still in your pocket.Copy !req
334. Ah. Yes.Copy !req
335. I've thought up an ending for my book:Copy !req
336. "And he lived happily ever after
to the end of his days."Copy !req
337. And I'm sure you will, my dear friend.Copy !req
338. Goodbye, Gandalf.Copy !req
339. Goodbye, dear Bilbo.Copy !req
340. The road goes ever on and onCopy !req
341. Until our next meeting.Copy !req
342. It's mine. My own.Copy !req
343. My precious.Copy !req
344. Riddles in the dark.Copy !req
345. Bilbo!Copy !req
346. Bilbo!Copy !req
347. My precious.Copy !req
348. Precious.Copy !req
349. He's gone, hasn't he?Copy !req
350. He talked for so long about leaving...Copy !req
351. l didn't think he'd really do it.Copy !req
352. Gandalf?Copy !req
353. Bilbo's ring.Copy !req
354. He's gone to stay with the Elves.Copy !req
355. He's left you Bag End.Copy !req
356. Along with all his possessions.Copy !req
357. The ring is yours now.Copy !req
358. - Put it somewhere out of sight.
- Where are you going?Copy !req
359. - There are some things that I must see to.
- What things?Copy !req
360. - Questions. Questions that need answering.
- You've only just arrived.Copy !req
361. I don't understand.Copy !req
362. Neither do I.Copy !req
363. Keep it secret.Copy !req
364. Keep it safe.Copy !req
365. Shire!Copy !req
366. Baggins!Copy !req
367. "The year 3434 of the Second Age.Copy !req
368. Here follows the account of lsildur,
High King of Gondor...Copy !req
369. and the finding
of the Ring of Power. "Copy !req
370. "It has come to me.Copy !req
371. The One Ring. It shall be
an heirloom of my kingdom.Copy !req
372. All those who follow in my bloodline
shall be bound to its fate...Copy !req
373. for I will risk
no hurt to the Ring.Copy !req
374. It is precious to me...Copy !req
375. though I buy it with great pain.Copy !req
376. The markings upon the band
begin to fade.Copy !req
377. The writing, which at first was as clear
as red flame, has all but disappeared.Copy !req
378. A secret now
that only fire can tell."Copy !req
379. Shire.Copy !req
380. Baggins.Copy !req
381. There's no Bagginses around here.
They're all up in Hobbiton.Copy !req
382. That way.Copy !req
383. To heal my heart and drown my woeCopy !req
384. Rain may fall and wind may blowCopy !req
385. But there still beCopy !req
386. Many miles to goCopy !req
387. Sweet is the sound of the pouring rainCopy !req
388. And the stream that falls
From hill to plainCopy !req
389. Better than rain or rippling brookCopy !req
390. ls a mug of beer inside this TookCopy !req
391. There's been some strange folk
crossing the Shire.Copy !req
392. Dwarves and others of a less
than savory nature.Copy !req
393. War is brewing.Copy !req
394. The mountains are fair teeming
with goblins.Copy !req
395. Far-off tales and children's stories,
that's all that is.Copy !req
396. You're beginning to sound like that old
Bilbo Baggins. Cracked, he was.Copy !req
397. Young Mr. Frodo here,
he's cracking.Copy !req
398. And proud of it.Copy !req
399. - Cheers, Gaffer.
- Cheers.Copy !req
400. It's none of our concern what goes on
beyond our borders.Copy !req
401. Keep your nose out of trouble,
and no trouble'll come to you.Copy !req
402. - Good night, lads.
- Good night.Copy !req
403. Good night, sweet maiden
of the golden ale.Copy !req
404. Mind who you're sweet-talking.Copy !req
405. Don't worry, Sam. Rosie knows an idiot
when she sees one.Copy !req
406. Does she?Copy !req
407. - Good night, Sam.
- Good night, Mr. Frodo.Copy !req
408. Is it secret? ls it safe?Copy !req
409. Ah.Copy !req
410. What are you doing?Copy !req
411. Hold out your hand, Frodo.Copy !req
412. It's quite cool.Copy !req
413. What can you see?Copy !req
414. Can you see anything?Copy !req
415. Nothing.Copy !req
416. There's nothing.Copy !req
417. Wait.Copy !req
418. There are markings.Copy !req
419. It's some form of Elvish.
I can't read it.Copy !req
420. There are few who can.Copy !req
421. The language is that of Mordor,
which I will not utter here.Copy !req
422. Mordor!Copy !req
423. In the common tongue, it says:Copy !req
424. "One Ring to rule them all...Copy !req
425. One Ring to find them...Copy !req
426. One Ring to bring them all...Copy !req
427. and in the darkness bind them."Copy !req
428. This is the One Ring...Copy !req
429. forged by the Dark Lord Sauron
in the fires of Mount Doom.Copy !req
430. Taken by lsildur
from the hand of Sauron himself.Copy !req
431. Bilbo found it.Copy !req
432. - In Gollum's cave.
- Yes.Copy !req
433. For 60 years, the Ring lay quiet
in Bilbo's keeping...Copy !req
434. prolonging his life,
delaying old age.Copy !req
435. But no longer, Frodo.
Evil is stirring in Mordor.Copy !req
436. The Ring has awoken.Copy !req
437. It's heard its master's call.Copy !req
438. But he was destroyed.
Sauron was destroyed.Copy !req
439. No, Frodo.Copy !req
440. The spirit of Sauron endured.Copy !req
441. His life force is bound to the Ring,
and the Ring survived.Copy !req
442. Sauron has returned.Copy !req
443. His Orcs have multiplied.Copy !req
444. His fortress at Barad-dûr
is rebuilt in the land of Mordor.Copy !req
445. Sauron needs only this Ring to cover
all the lands in a second darkness.Copy !req
446. He is seeking it.Copy !req
447. Seeking it. All his thought
is bent on it.Copy !req
448. For the Ring yearns above all else...Copy !req
449. to return to the hand
of its master.Copy !req
450. They are one...Copy !req
451. the Ring and the Dark Lord.Copy !req
452. Frodo...Copy !req
453. he must never find it.Copy !req
454. All right.Copy !req
455. We put it away. We keep it hidden.
We never speak of it again.Copy !req
456. No one knows it's here, do they?Copy !req
457. Do they, Gandalf?Copy !req
458. There is one other who knew
that Bilbo had the Ring.Copy !req
459. I looked everywhere
for the creature Gollum.Copy !req
460. But the enemy found him first.Copy !req
461. I don't know how long
they tortured him.Copy !req
462. But amidst the endless screams and
inane babble, they discerned two words:Copy !req
463. Shire!Copy !req
464. Baggins!Copy !req
465. Shire.Copy !req
466. Baggins. But that would
lead them here!Copy !req
467. Who goes there?Copy !req
468. Take it, Gandalf!Copy !req
469. - Take it!
- No, Frodo.Copy !req
470. - You must take it!
- You cannot offer me this ring!Copy !req
471. - L'm giving it to you!
- Don't tempt me, Frodo!Copy !req
472. I dare not take it.Copy !req
473. Not even to keep it safe.Copy !req
474. Understand, Frodo...Copy !req
475. l would use this Ring
from a desire to do good.Copy !req
476. But through me, it would wield a power
too great and terrible to imagine.Copy !req
477. - But it cannot stay in the Shire!
- No.Copy !req
478. No, it can't.Copy !req
479. What must I do?Copy !req
480. - You must leave. And leave quickly.
- Where? Where do I go?Copy !req
481. Get out of the Shire.
Make for the village of Bree.Copy !req
482. Bree.Copy !req
483. - What about you?
- l'll be waiting for you...Copy !req
484. at the inn of the Prancing Pony.Copy !req
485. - And the Ring will be safe there?
- I don't know, Frodo.Copy !req
486. I don't have any answers.Copy !req
487. I must see the head of my order. He is
both wise and powerful. Trust me, Frodo.Copy !req
488. He'll know what to do.Copy !req
489. You'll have to leave the name
of Baggins behind you.Copy !req
490. That name is not safe
outside the Shire.Copy !req
491. Travel only by day.
And stay off the road.Copy !req
492. I can cut across country
easily enough.Copy !req
493. My dear Frodo.Copy !req
494. Hobbits really are amazing creatures.Copy !req
495. You can learn all that there is to
know about their ways in a month.Copy !req
496. And yet, after a hundred years...Copy !req
497. they can still surprise you.Copy !req
498. Get down.Copy !req
499. Confound it all, Samwise Gamgee!
Have you been eavesdropping?Copy !req
500. I haven't been dropping no eaves. Honest.
I was cutting the grass under the window.Copy !req
501. A little late for trimming the verge,
don't you think?Copy !req
502. - I heard raised voices.
- What did you hear? Speak!Copy !req
503. Nothing important.Copy !req
504. That is, I heard a good deal about a ring,
a Dark Lord and the end of the world but—Copy !req
505. Please, Mr. Gandalf, sir, don't hurt me.
Don't turn me into anything unnatural.Copy !req
506. No'?Copy !req
507. Perhaps not.Copy !req
508. I've thought of a better use for you.Copy !req
509. Come along, Samwise. Keep up.Copy !req
510. Be careful, both of you.Copy !req
511. The enemy has many spies
in his service:Copy !req
512. Birds, beasts.Copy !req
513. Is it safe?Copy !req
514. Never put it on...Copy !req
515. for the agents of the Dark Lord
will be drawn to its power.Copy !req
516. Always remember, Frodo...Copy !req
517. the Ring is trying to get back
to its master.Copy !req
518. It wants to be found.Copy !req
519. This is it.Copy !req
520. This is what?Copy !req
521. If I take one more step...Copy !req
522. it'll be the farthest away
from home I've ever been.Copy !req
523. Come on, Sam.Copy !req
524. Remember what Bilbo used to say:Copy !req
525. - "lt's a dangerous business, Frodo."
"Going out your door.Copy !req
526. You step onto the road,
and if you don't keep your feet...Copy !req
527. there's no knowing where
you might be swept off to."Copy !req
528. Sam.Copy !req
529. Wood-elves.Copy !req
530. They're going to the harbor
beyond the White Towers.Copy !req
531. To the Grey Havens.Copy !req
532. They're leaving Middle-earth.Copy !req
533. Never to return.Copy !req
534. I don't know why...Copy !req
535. it makes me sad.Copy !req
536. Everywhere I lie there's a dirty
great root sticking into my back.Copy !req
537. Just shut your eyes...Copy !req
538. and imagine you're back
in your own bed...Copy !req
539. with a soft mattress
and a lovely feather pillow.Copy !req
540. It's not working, Mr. Frodo.Copy !req
541. I'm never going to be able
to sleep out here.Copy !req
542. Me neither, Sam.Copy !req
543. Smoke rises
from the Mountain of Doom.Copy !req
544. The hour grows late.Copy !req
545. And Gandalf the Grey
rides to Isengard...Copy !req
546. seeking my counsel.Copy !req
547. For that is why you have come,
is it not?Copy !req
548. My old friend.Copy !req
549. Saruman.Copy !req
550. You are sure of this?
Beyond any doubt.Copy !req
551. So the Ring of Power has been found.Copy !req
552. All these long years,
it was in the Shire.Copy !req
553. - Under my very nose.
- Yet you did not have the wit to see it.Copy !req
554. Your love of the halfling's leaf
has clearly slowed your mind.Copy !req
555. But we still have time. Time enough
to counter Sauron if we act quickly.Copy !req
556. Time?Copy !req
557. What time do you think we have?Copy !req
558. Sauron has regained
much of his former strength.Copy !req
559. He cannot yet take physical form...Copy !req
560. but his spirit has lost
none of its potency.Copy !req
561. Concealed within his fortress,
the Lord of Mordor sees all.Copy !req
562. His gaze pierces cloud, shadow,
earth and flesh.Copy !req
563. You know of what I speak, Gandalf.Copy !req
564. A Great Eye, lidless,
wreathed in flame.Copy !req
565. The Eye of Sauron.Copy !req
566. He is gathering all evil to him.Copy !req
567. Very soon, he'll have summoned
an army great enough...Copy !req
568. for an assault upon Middle-earth.Copy !req
569. You know this?Copy !req
570. How?Copy !req
571. I have seen it.Copy !req
572. A palantír is a dangerous tool,
Saruman.Copy !req
573. Why?Copy !req
574. Why should we fear to use it?Copy !req
575. They are not all accounted for,
the lost Seeing-stones.Copy !req
576. We do not know who else
may be watching.Copy !req
577. The hour is later than you think.Copy !req
578. Sauron's forces are already moving.Copy !req
579. The Nine have left Minas Morgul.Copy !req
580. The Nine?Copy !req
581. They crossed the River lsen
on Midsummer's Eve...Copy !req
582. disguised as riders in black.Copy !req
583. - They've reached the Shire?
- They will find the Ring.Copy !req
584. And kill the one who carries it.Copy !req
585. Frodo!Copy !req
586. You did not seriously think that a Hobbit
could contend with the will of Sauron?Copy !req
587. There are none who can.Copy !req
588. Against the power of Mordor...Copy !req
589. there can be no victory.Copy !req
590. We must join with him, Gandalf.Copy !req
591. We must join with Sauron.Copy !req
592. It would be wise, my friend.Copy !req
593. Tell me...Copy !req
594. friend...Copy !req
595. when did Saruman the Wise
abandon reason for madness?Copy !req
596. I gave you the chance...Copy !req
597. of aiding me willingly...Copy !req
598. but you have elected
the way of pain!Copy !req
599. Mr. Frodo?Copy !req
600. Frodo? Frodo!Copy !req
601. - I thought I'd lost you.
- What are you talking about?Copy !req
602. - It's just something Gandalf said.
- What did he say?Copy !req
603. "Don't you lose him, Samwise Gamgee."
And I don't mean to.Copy !req
604. Sam, we're still in the Shire.
What could possibly happen?Copy !req
605. Frodo.Copy !req
606. - Merry, it's Frodo Baggins.
- Hello, Frodo.Copy !req
607. Get off him.Copy !req
608. Come on, Frodo.Copy !req
609. What's the meaning of this?Copy !req
610. You've been into Farmer Maggot's crop!Copy !req
611. You get back here!Copy !req
612. Get out of my field!Copy !req
613. You'll know the devil
if I catch up with you!Copy !req
614. I don't know why he's so upset.
It's only a couple of carrots.Copy !req
615. And some cabbages.Copy !req
616. And those three bags of potatoes
that we lifted last week.Copy !req
617. - And then the mushrooms the week before.
Yes, Pippin. My point is...Copy !req
618. he's clearly overreacting.Copy !req
619. Run!Copy !req
620. Oh, that was close.Copy !req
621. I think I've broken something.Copy !req
622. Trust a Brandybuck and a Took!Copy !req
623. What? That was just a detour.
A short cut.Copy !req
624. - Short cut to what?
- Mushrooms!Copy !req
625. That's mine.Copy !req
626. That's nice, Merry.Copy !req
627. Here's a nice one, Sam.Copy !req
628. I think we should get off the road.Copy !req
629. Get off the road!Copy !req
630. Quick!Copy !req
631. Be quiet!Copy !req
632. What was that?Copy !req
633. Anything?Copy !req
634. Nothing.Copy !req
635. What is going on?Copy !req
636. That Black Rider was looking
for something. Or someone.Copy !req
637. Frodo?Copy !req
638. Get down!Copy !req
639. I have to leave the Shire.Copy !req
640. Sam and I must get to Bree.Copy !req
641. Right.Copy !req
642. Bucklebury Ferry. Follow me.Copy !req
643. Run!Copy !req
644. This way! Follow me!Copy !req
645. Run!Copy !req
646. Get the rope, Sam!Copy !req
647. Frodo!Copy !req
648. Run, Frodo!Copy !req
649. Go!
Hurry!Copy !req
650. Frodo, come on!Copy !req
651. Come on! Faster!
Jump!Copy !req
652. - How far to the nearest crossing?
- The Brandywine Bridge. 20 miles.Copy !req
653. Come on.Copy !req
654. - What do you want?
- We're heading for the Prancing Pony.Copy !req
655. Hobbits. Four Hobbits!Copy !req
656. What's more, out of the Shire by your
talk. What business brings you to Bree?Copy !req
657. We wish to stay at the inn.
Our business is our own.Copy !req
658. All right, young sir.
I meant no offense.Copy !req
659. It's my job to ask questions
after nightfall.Copy !req
660. There's talk of strange folk abroad.Copy !req
661. Can't be too careful.Copy !req
662. Out of the way!
Watch where you're walking.Copy !req
663. Excuse me.Copy !req
664. Good evening, little masters.
What can I do for you?Copy !req
665. If you're seeking accommodation, we got
some cozy Hobbit-sized rooms available.Copy !req
666. Always proud to cater
to the Little Folk, Mister...?Copy !req
667. Underhill. My name's Underhill.Copy !req
668. - Underhill, yes.
- We're friends of Gandalf the Grey.Copy !req
669. - Can you tell him we've arrived?
- Gandalf?Copy !req
670. Gandalf.Copy !req
671. Oh, yes...Copy !req
672. l remember. Elderly chap.Copy !req
673. Big grey beard, pointy hat.Copy !req
674. Not seen him for six months.Copy !req
675. What do we do now?Copy !req
676. Sam...Copy !req
677. he'll be here. He'll come.Copy !req
678. Get out of my way!Copy !req
679. What's that?Copy !req
680. This, my friend, is a pint.Copy !req
681. It comes in pints?Copy !req
682. - L'm getting one.
- You got a whole half already!Copy !req
683. That fellow's done nothing
but stare at you since we arrived.Copy !req
684. Excuse me.Copy !req
685. That Man in the corner. Who is he?Copy !req
686. He's one of them Rangers. They're
dangerous folk, wandering the Wilds.Copy !req
687. What his right name is, I've never heard,
but around here he's known as Strider.Copy !req
688. Strider.Copy !req
689. Baggins.Copy !req
690. Baggins.Copy !req
691. Baggins. Baggins.Copy !req
692. Baggins? Sure, I know a Baggins.Copy !req
693. He's over there. Frodo Baggins.Copy !req
694. He's my second cousin,
once removed on his mother's side...Copy !req
695. and my third cousin, twice removed...Copy !req
696. - Pippin!
- Steady on, Frodo.Copy !req
697. You cannot hide.Copy !req
698. I see you.Copy !req
699. There is no life...Copy !req
700. in the void.Copy !req
701. Only—...Copy !req
702. death.Copy !req
703. You draw far too much attention
to yourself, "Mr. Underhill."Copy !req
704. What do you want?Copy !req
705. A little more caution from you.
That is no trinket you carry.Copy !req
706. - I carry nothing.
Indeed.Copy !req
707. I can avoid being seen if I wish...Copy !req
708. but to disappear entirely,
that is a rare gift.Copy !req
709. - Who are you?
- Are you frightened?Copy !req
710. Yes.Copy !req
711. Not nearly frightened enough.
I know what hunts you.Copy !req
712. Let him go!
Or I'll have you, Longshanks.Copy !req
713. You have a stout heart, little Hobbit.
But that will not save you.Copy !req
714. You can no longer wait
for the wizard, Frodo.Copy !req
715. They're coming.Copy !req
716. What are they?Copy !req
717. They were once Men.Copy !req
718. Great kings of Men.Copy !req
719. Then Sauron the Deceiver gave to them
nine rings of power.Copy !req
720. Blinded by their greed,
they took them without question.Copy !req
721. One by one, falling into darkness.Copy !req
722. Now they are slaves to his will.Copy !req
723. They are the Nazgûl.Copy !req
724. Ringwraiths. Neither living nor dead.Copy !req
725. At all times they feel...Copy !req
726. the presence of the Ring...Copy !req
727. drawn to the power of the One.
They will never stop hunting you.Copy !req
728. Where are you taking us?
- Into the Wild.Copy !req
729. How do we know this Strider
is a friend of Gandalf?Copy !req
730. I think a servant of the enemy
would look fairer...Copy !req
731. and feel fouler.
- He's foul enough.Copy !req
732. We have no choice but to trust him.Copy !req
733. - But where is he leading us?
To Rivendell, Master Gamgee.Copy !req
734. - To the house of Elrond.
Did you hear that? Rivendell.Copy !req
735. We're going to see the Elves.Copy !req
736. - Gentlemen, we do not stop till nightfall.
- What about breakfast?Copy !req
737. - You've already had it.
- We've had one, yes.Copy !req
738. What about second breakfast?Copy !req
739. Don't think he knows
about second breakfast, Pip.Copy !req
740. What about elevenses? Luncheon?
Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper?Copy !req
741. - He knows about them, doesn't he?
- I wouldn't count on it.Copy !req
742. Pippin!Copy !req
743. What do they eat
when they can't get Hobbit?Copy !req
744. Who is she?Copy !req
745. This woman you sing of.Copy !req
746. 'Tis the lady of Lúthien.Copy !req
747. The Elf-maiden who gave her love
to Beren, a mortal.Copy !req
748. What happened to her?Copy !req
749. She died.Copy !req
750. Get some sleep, Frodo.Copy !req
751. The power of Isengard
is at your command...Copy !req
752. Sauron, Lord of the Earth.Copy !req
753. Build me an army worthy of Mordor.Copy !req
754. What orders from Mordor, my lord?
What does the Eye command?Copy !req
755. We have work to do.Copy !req
756. The trees are strong, my lord.
Their roots go deep.Copy !req
757. Rip them all down.Copy !req
758. This was the great watchtower
of Amon Sûl.Copy !req
759. We shall rest here tonight.Copy !req
760. These are for you.
Keep them close.Copy !req
761. I'm going to have a look around.Copy !req
762. Stay here.Copy !req
763. My tomato's burst.Copy !req
764. Could I have some bacon?Copy !req
765. Want a tomato, Sam?Copy !req
766. - What are you doing?
- Tomatoes, sausages, nice crispy bacon.Copy !req
767. We saved some for you, Mr. Frodo.
Put it out, you fools!Copy !req
768. - Put it out!
That's nice! Ash on my tomatoes!Copy !req
769. Go!Copy !req
770. Back, you devils!Copy !req
771. Frodo!Copy !req
772. - Frodo.
- Oh, Sam.Copy !req
773. Strider!Copy !req
774. - Help him, Strider.
- He's been stabbed by a Morgul blade.Copy !req
775. This is beyond my skill to heal.
He needs Elvish medicine.Copy !req
776. Hurry!Copy !req
777. We're six days from Rivendell!
He'll never make it!Copy !req
778. Hold on, Frodo.Copy !req
779. Gandalf!Copy !req
780. Look, Frodo. It's Mr. Bilbo's trolls.Copy !req
781. Mr. Frodo? He's going cold.Copy !req
782. Is he going to die?Copy !req
783. He's passing into the Shadow World.
He'll soon become a Wraith like them.Copy !req
784. - They're close.
- Sam, do you know the Athelas plant?Copy !req
785. - Athelas?
- Kingsfoil.Copy !req
786. Kingsfoil, aye, it's a weed.Copy !req
787. It may help to slow the poisoning.
Hurry!Copy !req
788. What's this?
A Ranger caught off his guard?Copy !req
789. Frodo.Copy !req
790. I am Arwen - I've come to help you.Copy !req
791. Hear my voice...Copy !req
792. Come back to the light.Copy !req
793. Who is she?Copy !req
794. Frodo.Copy !req
795. - She's an Elf.
- He's fading.Copy !req
796. He's not going to last.Copy !req
797. We must get him to my father.Copy !req
798. - I've been looking for you for two days.
- Where are you taking him?Copy !req
799. There are five Wraiths behind you.
Where the other four are, I do not know.Copy !req
800. Stay with the Hobbits -
I'll send horses for you.Copy !req
801. I'm the faster rider - I'll take him.Copy !req
802. The Road is too dangerous.Copy !req
803. What are they saying?Copy !req
804. If I can get across the river...Copy !req
805. the power of my people
will protect him.Copy !req
806. I do not fear them.Copy !req
807. Arwen...Copy !req
808. ride hard. Don't look back.Copy !req
809. What are you doing?
Those Wraiths are still out there!Copy !req
810. Give up the halfling, She-Elf.Copy !req
811. If you want him, come and claim him.Copy !req
812. No. No!Copy !req
813. Frodo, no.Copy !req
814. Frodo, don't give in.Copy !req
815. Not now.Copy !req
816. What grace is given me...Copy !req
817. let it pass to him.Copy !req
818. Let him be spared.Copy !req
819. Save him.Copy !req
820. - Where am I?
You are in the house of Elrond.Copy !req
821. And it is 10:00 in the morning
on October 24th, if you want to know.Copy !req
822. - Gandalf!
- Yes, I'm here.Copy !req
823. And you're lucky to be here too.Copy !req
824. A few more hours and you
would have been beyond our aid.Copy !req
825. But you have some strength in you,
my dear Hobbit.Copy !req
826. What happened, Gandalf?Copy !req
827. - Why didn't you meet us?
- I am sorry, Frodo.Copy !req
828. I was delayed.Copy !req
829. A friendship with Saruman
is not lightly thrown aside.Copy !req
830. One ill turn deserves another.
It is over.Copy !req
831. Embrace the power of the Ring...Copy !req
832. or embrace your own destruction!Copy !req
833. There is only one Lord of the Ring.Copy !req
834. Only one who can bend it to his will.Copy !req
835. And he does not share power.Copy !req
836. So you have chosen death.Copy !req
837. Gandalf? What is it?Copy !req
838. Nothing, Frodo.Copy !req
839. Frodo!Copy !req
840. Frodo!Copy !req
841. - Sam.
- Bless you, you're awake!Copy !req
842. Sam has hardly left your side.Copy !req
843. We were that worried about you.
Weren't we, Mr. Gandalf?Copy !req
844. By the skills of Lord Elrond,
you're beginning to mend.Copy !req
845. Welcome to Rivendell, Frodo Baggins.Copy !req
846. Bilbo!
- Hello, Frodo, my lad.Copy !req
847. Bilbo.Copy !req
848. "There and Back Again:Copy !req
849. A Hobbit's Tale, by Bilbo Baggins."Copy !req
850. - This is wonderful.
- I meant to go back...Copy !req
851. wonder at the powers of Mirkwood...Copy !req
852. visit Lake-town...Copy !req
853. see the Lonely Mountain again.Copy !req
854. But age, it seems,
has finally caught up with me.Copy !req
855. I miss the Shire.Copy !req
856. I spent all my childhood pretending
I was off somewhere else.Copy !req
857. Off with you,
on one of your adventures.Copy !req
858. But my own adventure turned out
to be quite different.Copy !req
859. I'm not like you, Bilbo.Copy !req
860. My dear boy.Copy !req
861. Now, what have I forgotten?
- Packed already?Copy !req
862. No harm in being prepared.Copy !req
863. - I thought you wanted to see the Elves.
- I do.Copy !req
864. - More than anything.
- I did.Copy !req
865. It's just...Copy !req
866. We did what Gandalf wanted, didn't we?Copy !req
867. We got the Ring this far,
to Rivendell. And I thought...Copy !req
868. seeing as how you're on the mend,
we'd be off soon.Copy !req
869. Off home.Copy !req
870. You are right, Sam.Copy !req
871. We did what we set out to do.Copy !req
872. The Ring will be safe in Rivendell.Copy !req
873. I am ready to go home.Copy !req
874. His strength returns.Copy !req
875. That wound will never fully heal.
He will carry it the rest of his life.Copy !req
876. And yet to have come so far
still bearing the Ring...Copy !req
877. the Hobbit has shown extraordinary
resilience to its evil.Copy !req
878. It is a burden he should never
have had to bear.Copy !req
879. - We can ask no more of Frodo.
- Gandalf, the enemy is moving.Copy !req
880. Sauron's forces are massing in the East.
His Eye is fixed on Rivendell.Copy !req
881. And Saruman, you tell me, has betrayed us.Copy !req
882. Our list of allies grows thin.Copy !req
883. His treachery runs deeper
than you know.Copy !req
884. By foul craft, Saruman
has crossed Orcs with Goblin-men.Copy !req
885. He's breeding an army
in the caverns of Isengard.Copy !req
886. An army that can move in sunlight
and cover great distance at speed.Copy !req
887. Saruman is coming for the Ring.Copy !req
888. This evil cannot be concealed
by the power of the Elves.Copy !req
889. We do not have the strength
to fight both Mordor and Isengard!Copy !req
890. Gandalf...Copy !req
891. the Ring cannot stay here.Copy !req
892. This peril belongs
to all Middle-earth.Copy !req
893. They must decide now how to end it.Copy !req
894. The time of the Elves is over.
My people are leaving these shores.Copy !req
895. Who will you look to when we've gone?
The Dwarves?Copy !req
896. They hide in mountains seeking riches.
They care not for the troubles of others.Copy !req
897. It is in Men
that we must place our hope.Copy !req
898. Men?Copy !req
899. Men are weak.
The race of Men is failing.Copy !req
900. The blood of Númenor is all but spent,
its pride and dignity forgotten.Copy !req
901. It is because of Men
the Ring survives.Copy !req
902. I was there, Gandalf.Copy !req
903. I was there 3000 years ago...Copy !req
904. when lsildur took the Ring.Copy !req
905. I was there the day
the strength of Men failed.Copy !req
906. Isildur, hurry! Follow me.Copy !req
907. I led Isildur into the heart
of Mount Doom...Copy !req
908. where the Ring was forged,
the one place it could be destroyed.Copy !req
909. Cast it into the fire!Copy !req
910. - Destroy it!
- No.Copy !req
911. Isildur!Copy !req
912. It should have ended that day,
but evil was allowed to endure.Copy !req
913. lsildur kept the Ring.
The line of kings is broken.Copy !req
914. There's no strength left
in the world of Men.Copy !req
915. - They're scattered, divided, leaderless.
- There is one who could unite them.Copy !req
916. One who could reclaim
the throne of Gondor.Copy !req
917. He turned from that path
a long time ago.Copy !req
918. He has chosen exile.Copy !req
919. You are no Elf.Copy !req
920. Men of the South are welcome here.Copy !req
921. - Who are you?
- I am a friend to Gandalf the Grey.Copy !req
922. Then we are here on common purpose...Copy !req
923. friend.Copy !req
924. The shards of Narsil.Copy !req
925. The blade that cut the Ring
from Sauron's hand.Copy !req
926. It's still sharp.Copy !req
927. But no more than a broken heirloom.Copy !req
928. Why do you fear the past?Copy !req
929. You are lsildur's heir,
not lsildur himself.Copy !req
930. You are not bound to his fate.Copy !req
931. The same blood flows in my veins.Copy !req
932. The same weakness.Copy !req
933. Your time will come.Copy !req
934. You will face the same evil.
And you will defeat it.Copy !req
935. The Shadow does not hold sway yet.Copy !req
936. Not over you... not over me.Copy !req
937. Do you remember when we first met'?Copy !req
938. I thought I had strayed into a dream.Copy !req
939. Long years have passed.Copy !req
940. You did not have the cares you carry now.Copy !req
941. Do you remember what I told you?Copy !req
942. You said you'd bind yourself to me...Copy !req
943. forsaking the immortal life
of your people.Copy !req
944. And to that I hold.Copy !req
945. I would rather share
one lifetime with you...Copy !req
946. than face all the Ages
of this world alone.Copy !req
947. I choose a mortal life.Copy !req
948. - You cannot give me this.
- It is mine to give to whom I will...Copy !req
949. like my heart.Copy !req
950. Strangers from distant lands,
friends of old...Copy !req
951. you've been summoned here
to answer the threat of Mordor.Copy !req
952. Middle-earth stands upon the brink
of destruction. None can escape it.Copy !req
953. You will unite, or you will fall.Copy !req
954. Each race is bound to this fate,
this one doom.Copy !req
955. Bring forth the Ring, Frodo.Copy !req
956. So it is true.Copy !req
957. In a dream...Copy !req
958. l saw the eastern sky grow dark...Copy !req
959. but in the West
a pale light lingered.Copy !req
960. A voice was crying:Copy !req
961. "Your doom is near at hand.Copy !req
962. Isildur's Bane is found."Copy !req
963. lsildur's Bane.Copy !req
964. Boromir!Copy !req
965. Never before has any voice uttered the
words of that tongue here in Imladris.Copy !req
966. I do not ask your pardon,
Master Elrond...Copy !req
967. for the Black Speech of Mordor...Copy !req
968. may yet be heard...Copy !req
969. in every corner of the West!Copy !req
970. The Ring is altogether evil.Copy !req
971. It is a gift.Copy !req
972. A gift to the foes of Mordor.Copy !req
973. Why not use this Ring?Copy !req
974. Long has my father,
the Steward of Gondor...Copy !req
975. kept the forces of Mordor at bay.
By the blood of our people...Copy !req
976. are your lands kept safe.Copy !req
977. Give Gondor the weapon of the enemy.
Let us use it against him.Copy !req
978. You cannot wield it.
None of us can.Copy !req
979. The One Ring answers to Sauron alone.
It has no other master.Copy !req
980. And what would a Ranger know
of this matter?Copy !req
981. This is no mere Ranger.Copy !req
982. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn.Copy !req
983. You owe him your allegiance.Copy !req
984. Aragorn.Copy !req
985. This is lsildur's heir?Copy !req
986. And heir to the throne of Gondor.Copy !req
987. Sit down, Legolas.Copy !req
988. Gondor has no king.Copy !req
989. Gondor needs no king.Copy !req
990. Aragorn is right. We cannot use it.Copy !req
991. You have only one choice.Copy !req
992. The Ring must be destroyed.Copy !req
993. What are we waiting for?Copy !req
994. The Ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli,
son of Glóin...Copy !req
995. by any craft that we here possess.Copy !req
996. The Ring was made in the fires
of Mount Doom.Copy !req
997. Only there can it be unmade.Copy !req
998. It must be taken deep into Mordor...Copy !req
999. and cast back into the fiery chasm
from whence it came.Copy !req
1000. One of you...Copy !req
1001. must do this.Copy !req
1002. One does not simply walk into Mordor.Copy !req
1003. Its Black Gates are guarded
by more than just Orcs.Copy !req
1004. There is evil there
that does not sleep.Copy !req
1005. The Great Eye is ever-watchful.Copy !req
1006. It is a barren wasteland...Copy !req
1007. riddled with fire, and ash
and dust.Copy !req
1008. The very air you breathe
is a poisonous fume.Copy !req
1009. Not with 10,000 men
could you do this. It is folly.Copy !req
1010. Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond
has said? The Ring must be destroyed.Copy !req
1011. And I suppose you think
you are the one to do it!Copy !req
1012. And if we fail, what then? What happens
when Sauron takes back what is his?Copy !req
1013. I will be dead before I see the Ring
in the hands of an Elf!Copy !req
1014. Never trust an Elf!Copy !req
1015. Do you not understand?
While you bicker, Sauron's power grows!Copy !req
1016. None can escape it!
You'll all be destroyed!Copy !req
1017. I will take it.Copy !req
1018. I will take it.Copy !req
1019. I will take the Ring to Mordor.Copy !req
1020. Though...Copy !req
1021. l do not know the way.Copy !req
1022. I will help you bear
this burden, Frodo Baggins...Copy !req
1023. as long as it is yours to bear.Copy !req
1024. If by my life
or death I can protect you...Copy !req
1025. l Will.Copy !req
1026. You have my sword.Copy !req
1027. And you have my bow.Copy !req
1028. And my ax.Copy !req
1029. You carry the fates
of us all, little one.Copy !req
1030. If this is indeed
the will of the Council...Copy !req
1031. then Gondor will see it done.
- Hey!Copy !req
1032. - Frodo's not going anywhere without me.
- It is hardly possible to separate you...Copy !req
1033. even when he is summoned
to a secret Council and you are not.Copy !req
1034. We're coming too!Copy !req
1035. You'll have to send us home
tied up in a sack to stop us.Copy !req
1036. Anyway, you need people
of intelligence on this sort of...Copy !req
1037. mission.Copy !req
1038. Quest.Copy !req
1039. Thing.Copy !req
1040. Well, that rules you out, Pip.Copy !req
1041. Nine companions.Copy !req
1042. So be it.Copy !req
1043. You shall be
the Fellowship of the Ring.Copy !req
1044. Great!Copy !req
1045. Where are we going?Copy !req
1046. She wanted to protect her child...Copy !req
1047. she thought in Rivendell
you would be safe.Copy !req
1048. In her heart, your mother
knew you'd be hunted all your life.Copy !req
1049. That you'd never escape your fate.Copy !req
1050. The skill of the Elves
can reforge the sword of kings...Copy !req
1051. but only you have the power
to wield it.Copy !req
1052. I do not want that power.Copy !req
1053. I have never wanted it.Copy !req
1054. You are the last of that bloodline.
There is no other.Copy !req
1055. My old sword! Sting.Copy !req
1056. Here, take it. Take it.Copy !req
1057. - It's so light.
- Yes. Made by the Elves, you know.Copy !req
1058. The blade glows blue
when Orcs are close.Copy !req
1059. And it's times like that, my lad,
when you have to be extra careful.Copy !req
1060. Here's a pretty thing.Copy !req
1061. Mithril.Copy !req
1062. As light as a feather,
and as hard as dragon scales.Copy !req
1063. Let me see you put it on. Come on.Copy !req
1064. Oh!Copy !req
1065. My old ring.Copy !req
1066. I should very much like...Copy !req
1067. to hold it again, one last time.Copy !req
1068. I'm sorry I brought this upon you,
my boy.Copy !req
1069. I'm sorry that you
must carry this burden.Copy !req
1070. I'm sorry for everything.Copy !req
1071. The Ring-bearer is setting out
on the Quest of Mount Doom.Copy !req
1072. On you who travel with him,
no oath...Copy !req
1073. nor bond is laid to go further
than you will.Copy !req
1074. Farewell. Hold to your purpose.Copy !req
1075. May the blessings of Elves and Men...Copy !req
1076. and all Free Folk go with you.Copy !req
1077. The Fellowship awaits the Ring-bearer.Copy !req
1078. Mordor, Gandalf, is it left or right?Copy !req
1079. Left.Copy !req
1080. We must hold to this course,
west of the Misty Mountains, for 4O days.Copy !req
1081. lf our luck holds, the Gap of Rohan
will still be open to us.Copy !req
1082. From there, our road
turns east to Mordor.Copy !req
1083. Two, one, five. Good! Very good.Copy !req
1084. Move your feet.Copy !req
1085. You look good, Pippin.
- Thanks.Copy !req
1086. Faster!Copy !req
1087. If anyone was to ask for my opinion,
which I note they're not...Copy !req
1088. l'd say we were taking
the long way 'round.Copy !req
1089. Gandalf, we could pass through
the Mines of Moria.Copy !req
1090. My cousin Balin would give us
a royal welcome.Copy !req
1091. No, I would not take the road through
Moria unless I had no other choice.Copy !req
1092. Sorry!Copy !req
1093. Get him!Copy !req
1094. For the Shire!
Hold him. Hold him down, Merry!Copy !req
1095. Gentlemen, that's enough.Copy !req
1096. You've got my arm!
You've got my arm!Copy !req
1097. - What is that?
- Nothing. It's just a wisp of cloud.Copy !req
1098. It's moving fast.Copy !req
1099. Against the wind.Copy !req
1100. - Crebain from Dunland!
- Hide!Copy !req
1101. - Hurry!
- Take cover!Copy !req
1102. Spies of Saruman.Copy !req
1103. The passage south is being watched.Copy !req
1104. We must take the Pass of Caradhras.Copy !req
1105. Frodo!Copy !req
1106. Boromir.Copy !req
1107. It is a strange fate that we should
suffer so much fear and doubt...Copy !req
1108. over so small a thing.Copy !req
1109. Such a little thing.Copy !req
1110. Boromir!Copy !req
1111. Give the Ring to Frodo.Copy !req
1112. As you wish.Copy !req
1113. I care not.Copy !req
1114. So, Gandalf, you try
to lead them over Caradhras.Copy !req
1115. And if that fails,
where then will you go?Copy !req
1116. If the mountain defeats you...Copy !req
1117. will you risk
a more dangerous road?Copy !req
1118. There is a fell voice on the air.Copy !req
1119. It's Saruman!Copy !req
1120. He's trying to bring down the mountain!
Gandalf, we must turn back!Copy !req
1121. No!Copy !req
1122. We must get off the mountain!Copy !req
1123. Make for the Gap of Rohan,
and take the west road to my city!Copy !req
1124. The Gap of Rohan takes us
too close to Isengard!Copy !req
1125. We cannot pass over a mountain.
Let us go under it.Copy !req
1126. Let us go through the Mines of Moria.Copy !req
1127. Moria. You fear to go
into those mines.Copy !req
1128. The Dwarves delved too greedily
and too deep.Copy !req
1129. You know what they awoke
in the darkness of Khazad-dûm:Copy !req
1130. Shadow and flame.Copy !req
1131. Let the Ring-bearer decide.Copy !req
1132. We cannot stay here!Copy !req
1133. This will be the death of the Hobbits.Copy !req
1134. Frodo?Copy !req
1135. We will go through the mines.Copy !req
1136. So be it.Copy !req
1137. Frodo, come and help an old man.Copy !req
1138. How is your shoulder?Copy !req
1139. - Better than it was.
- And the Ring?Copy !req
1140. You feel its power growing, don't you?Copy !req
1141. I've felt it too.
You must be careful now.Copy !req
1142. Evil will be drawn to you
from outside the Fellowship.Copy !req
1143. And, I fear, from within.Copy !req
1144. - Who then do I trust?
- You must trust yourself.Copy !req
1145. Trust your own strengths.Copy !req
1146. - What do you mean?
- There are many powers in this world...Copy !req
1147. for good or for evil.Copy !req
1148. Some are greater than I am.Copy !req
1149. And against some I have not yet
been tested.Copy !req
1150. The walls...Copy !req
1151. of Moria.Copy !req
1152. Dwarf doors are invisible when closed.Copy !req
1153. Their own masters cannot find
them if their secrets are forgotten.Copy !req
1154. Why doesn't that surprise me?Copy !req
1155. Well, let's see.Copy !req
1156. Ithildin.Copy !req
1157. It mirrors only starlight
and moonlight.Copy !req
1158. It reads, "The Doors of Durin,
Lord of Moria.Copy !req
1159. - Speak, friend, and enter."
- What do you suppose that means?Copy !req
1160. It's simple. If you are a friend, you speak
the password and the doors will open.Copy !req
1161. Nothing's happening.Copy !req
1162. I once knew every spell
in all the tongues of Elves...Copy !req
1163. Men and Orcs.Copy !req
1164. What are you going to do, then?Copy !req
1165. Knock your head against these doors,
Peregrin Took!Copy !req
1166. And if that does not shatter them...Copy !req
1167. and I am allowed a little peace
from foolish questions...Copy !req
1168. l will try to find the opening words.Copy !req
1169. Mines are no place for a pony.Copy !req
1170. - Even one so brave as Bill.
- Bye-bye, Bill.Copy !req
1171. Go on, Bill. Go on.Copy !req
1172. Don't worry, Sam,
he knows the way home.Copy !req
1173. Do not disturb the water.Copy !req
1174. Oh, it's useless.Copy !req
1175. It's a riddle.Copy !req
1176. "Speak 'friend' and enter."Copy !req
1177. What's the Elvish word for "friend"?Copy !req
1178. Mellon.Copy !req
1179. Soon, Master Elf, you will enjoy
the fabled hospitality of the Dwarves.Copy !req
1180. Roaring fires, malt beer,
ripe meat off the bone!Copy !req
1181. This, my friend,
is the home of my cousin Balin.Copy !req
1182. And they call it a mine.Copy !req
1183. A mine!Copy !req
1184. This is no mine. It's a tomb.Copy !req
1185. No.Copy !req
1186. No...Copy !req
1187. No!Copy !req
1188. Goblins.Copy !req
1189. We make for the Gap of Rohan.
We should never have come here.Copy !req
1190. Now, get out of here. Get out!Copy !req
1191. Frodo!
Help!Copy !req
1192. Strider!Copy !req
1193. Help!
Get off him!Copy !req
1194. Aragorn!Copy !req
1195. Frodo!Copy !req
1196. Strider!Copy !req
1197. Into the mines!Copy !req
1198. - Legolas!
Into the cave!Copy !req
1199. Run!Copy !req
1200. We now have but one choice.Copy !req
1201. We must face the long dark of Moria.Copy !req
1202. Be on your guard.Copy !req
1203. There are older
and fouler things than Orcs...Copy !req
1204. in the deep places of the world.Copy !req
1205. Quietly now. It's a four-day journey
to the other side.Copy !req
1206. Let us hope that our presence
may go unnoticed.Copy !req
1207. The wealth of Moria is not in gold...Copy !req
1208. or jewels...Copy !req
1209. but mithril.Copy !req
1210. Bilbo had a shirt of mithril rings
that Thorin gave him.Copy !req
1211. - Oh, that was a kingly gift.
- Yes.Copy !req
1212. I never told him...Copy !req
1213. but its worth was greater than
the value of the Shire.Copy !req
1214. Pippin.Copy !req
1215. I have no memory of this place.Copy !req
1216. Are we lost?
No.Copy !req
1217. I think we are.
Gandalf's thinking.Copy !req
1218. Merry?
What?Copy !req
1219. I'm hungry.Copy !req
1220. - There's something down there.
- lt's Gollum.Copy !req
1221. - Gollum?
- He's been following us for three days.Copy !req
1222. - He escaped the dungeons of Barad-dûr?
- Escaped...Copy !req
1223. or was set loose.Copy !req
1224. Now the Ring has brought him here.Copy !req
1225. He will never be rid of his need for it.Copy !req
1226. He hates and loves the Ring,
as he hates and loves himself.Copy !req
1227. Sméagol's life is a sad story.Copy !req
1228. Yes, Sméagol he was once called.
Before the Ring found him.Copy !req
1229. Before it drove him mad.Copy !req
1230. It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill him
when he had the chance.Copy !req
1231. Pity?Copy !req
1232. It is pity that stayed Bilbo's hand.Copy !req
1233. Many that live deserve death.
Some that die deserve life.Copy !req
1234. Can you give it to them, Frodo?Copy !req
1235. Do not be too eager
to deal out death and judgment.Copy !req
1236. Even the very wise
cannot see all ends.Copy !req
1237. My heart tells me that Gollum has some
part to play yet, for good or ill...Copy !req
1238. before this is over.Copy !req
1239. The pity of Bilbo
may rule the fate of many.Copy !req
1240. I wish the Ring
had never come to me.Copy !req
1241. I wish none of this had happened.Copy !req
1242. So do all who live to see such times.
But that is not for them to decide.Copy !req
1243. All we have to decide is what to do
with the time that is given to us.Copy !req
1244. There are other forces at work in this
world, Frodo, besides the will of evil.Copy !req
1245. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring.Copy !req
1246. In which case,
you also were meant to have it.Copy !req
1247. And that is an encouraging thought.Copy !req
1248. Ah!Copy !req
1249. It's that way.Copy !req
1250. - He's remembered.
No.Copy !req
1251. But the air doesn't smell
so foul down here.Copy !req
1252. If in doubt, Meriadoc,
always follow your nose.Copy !req
1253. Let me risk a little more light.Copy !req
1254. Behold...Copy !req
1255. the great realm
and Dwarf-city of Dwarrowdelf.Copy !req
1256. There's an eye opener, and no mistake.Copy !req
1257. Gimli!Copy !req
1258. No.Copy !req
1259. No!Copy !req
1260. Oh, no.Copy !req
1261. No.Copy !req
1262. "Here lies Balin...Copy !req
1263. son of Fundin...Copy !req
1264. Lord of Moria."Copy !req
1265. He is dead, then.Copy !req
1266. It's as I feared.Copy !req
1267. We must move on. We cannot linger.Copy !req
1268. "They have taken the bridge
and the second hall.Copy !req
1269. We have barred the gates...Copy !req
1270. but cannot hold them for long.Copy !req
1271. The ground shakes.Copy !req
1272. Drums...Copy !req
1273. drums in the deep.Copy !req
1274. We cannot get out.Copy !req
1275. A Shadow moves in the dark.Copy !req
1276. We cannot get out.Copy !req
1277. They are coming."Copy !req
1278. Fool of a Took!Copy !req
1279. Throw yourself in next time,
and rid us of your stupidity.Copy !req
1280. Frodo!Copy !req
1281. Orcs.Copy !req
1282. Get back! Stay close to Gandalf!Copy !req
1283. They have a cave-troll.Copy !req
1284. Let them come!Copy !req
1285. There is one Dwarf yet in Moria
who still draws breath.Copy !req
1286. I think I'm getting the hang of this.Copy !req
1287. Frodo!Copy !req
1288. Aragorn! Aragorn!Copy !req
1289. Frodo!Copy !req
1290. Frodo!Copy !req
1291. Frodo!Copy !req
1292. Oh, no.Copy !req
1293. He's alive.Copy !req
1294. I'm all right. I'm not hurt.Copy !req
1295. You should be dead.Copy !req
1296. That spear would have skewered
a wild boar.Copy !req
1297. I think there's more to this Hobbit
than meets the eye.Copy !req
1298. Mithril.Copy !req
1299. You are full of surprises,
Master Baggins.Copy !req
1300. To the Bridge of Khazad-dûm!Copy !req
1301. This way!Copy !req
1302. What is this new devilry?Copy !req
1303. A Balrog.Copy !req
1304. A demon of the ancient world.Copy !req
1305. This foe is beyond any of you.Copy !req
1306. Run!Copy !req
1307. Quickly!Copy !req
1308. Gandalf.Copy !req
1309. Lead them on, Aragorn.Copy !req
1310. The bridge is near.Copy !req
1311. Do as I say!
Swords are no more use here.Copy !req
1312. Gandalf!Copy !req
1313. Merry! Pippin!Copy !req
1314. Sam!Copy !req
1315. Nobody tosses a Dwarf.Copy !req
1316. Not the beard!Copy !req
1317. Steady.Copy !req
1318. Hold on!Copy !req
1319. Hang on!Copy !req
1320. Lean forward!Copy !req
1321. Steady.Copy !req
1322. Come on!Copy !req
1323. Now!Copy !req
1324. Over the bridge!Copy !req
1325. Fly!Copy !req
1326. You cannot pass!Copy !req
1327. Gandalf!Copy !req
1328. I am a servant of the Secret Fire,
wielder of the flame of Anor.Copy !req
1329. The dark fire will not avail you,
flame of Udûn!Copy !req
1330. Go back to the Shadow.Copy !req
1331. You shall not pass!Copy !req
1332. No! No!
- Gandalf!Copy !req
1333. Fly, you fools!Copy !req
1334. No!Copy !req
1335. Aragorn!Copy !req
1336. Legolas, get them up.Copy !req
1337. Give them a moment, for pity's sake!Copy !req
1338. By nightfall, these hills will
be swarming with Orcs.Copy !req
1339. We must reach the woods of Lothlórien.Copy !req
1340. Come, Boromir. Legolas.
Gimli, get them up.Copy !req
1341. On your feet, Sam.Copy !req
1342. Frodo?Copy !req
1343. Frodo!Copy !req
1344. Stay close, young Hobbits!Copy !req
1345. They say that a great sorceress
lives in these woods.Copy !req
1346. An Elf-witch...Copy !req
1347. of terrible power.Copy !req
1348. All who look upon her...Copy !req
1349. fall under her spell.Copy !req
1350. Frodo!Copy !req
1351. And are never seen again.Copy !req
1352. Your coming to us is
as the footsteps of doom.Copy !req
1353. You bring great evil here,
Ring-bearer.Copy !req
1354. Mr. Frodo?Copy !req
1355. Well, here's one Dwarf
she won't ensnare so easily.Copy !req
1356. I have the eyes of a hawk
and the ears of a fox.Copy !req
1357. The Dwarf breathes so loud,
we could have shot him in the dark.Copy !req
1358. Welcome Legolas, son of Thranduil.Copy !req
1359. Our Fellowship stands in your debt.Copy !req
1360. Aragorn of the Dunedain...Copy !req
1361. you are known to us.Copy !req
1362. So much for the legendary courtesy
of the Elves!Copy !req
1363. Speak words we can all understand!Copy !req
1364. We have not had dealings
with the Dwarves since the Dark Days.Copy !req
1365. And you know what this Dwarf
says to that?Copy !req
1366. That was not so courteous.Copy !req
1367. You bring great evil with you.Copy !req
1368. You can go no further.Copy !req
1369. Gandalf's death was not in vain.Copy !req
1370. Nor would he have you give up hope.Copy !req
1371. You carry a heavy burden, Frodo.Copy !req
1372. Don't carry the weight of the dead.Copy !req
1373. You will follow me.Copy !req
1374. Caras Galadhon.Copy !req
1375. The heart of Elvendom on earth.Copy !req
1376. Realm of the Lord Celeborn
and of Galadriel, Lady of Light.Copy !req
1377. The enemy knows you have entered here.Copy !req
1378. What hope you had in secrecy
is now gone.Copy !req
1379. Eight there are here, yet nine there
were set out from Rivendell.Copy !req
1380. Tell me, where is Gandalf?Copy !req
1381. For I much desire to speak with him.Copy !req
1382. I can no longer see him from afar.Copy !req
1383. Gandalf the Grey did not
pass the borders of this land.Copy !req
1384. He has fallen into Shadow.Copy !req
1385. He was taken by both Shadow and flame.Copy !req
1386. A Balrog of Morgoth.Copy !req
1387. For we went needlessly
into the net of Moria.Copy !req
1388. Needless were none of the deeds
of Gandalf in life.Copy !req
1389. We do not yet know his full purpose.Copy !req
1390. Do not let the great emptiness
of Khazad-dûm fill your heart...Copy !req
1391. Gimli, son of Glóin.Copy !req
1392. For the world has grown
full of peril...Copy !req
1393. and in all lands...Copy !req
1394. love is now mingled with grief.Copy !req
1395. What now becomes of this Fellowship?Copy !req
1396. Without Gandalf, hope is lost.Copy !req
1397. The quest stands upon the edge
of a knife.Copy !req
1398. Stray but a little and it will fail...Copy !req
1399. to the ruin of all.Copy !req
1400. Yet hope remains
while the Company is true.Copy !req
1401. Do not let your hearts be troubled.
Go now and rest...Copy !req
1402. for you are weary with sorrow
and much toil.Copy !req
1403. Tonight, you will sleep...Copy !req
1404. Welcome, Frodo of the Shire...Copy !req
1405. one who has seen the Eye!Copy !req
1406. A lament for Gandalf.Copy !req
1407. What do they say about him?Copy !req
1408. I have not the heart to tell you.Copy !req
1409. For me, the grief is still too near.Copy !req
1410. I bet they don't mention his fireworks.Copy !req
1411. There should be a verse about them.Copy !req
1412. The finest rockets ever seenCopy !req
1413. They burst in stars of blue and greenCopy !req
1414. Or after thunder, silver showersCopy !req
1415. Came falling like a rain of flowersCopy !req
1416. Oh, that doesn't do them justice
by a long road.Copy !req
1417. Take some rest.Copy !req
1418. These borders are well-protected.Copy !req
1419. I will find no rest here.Copy !req
1420. I heard her voice inside my head.Copy !req
1421. She spoke of my father
and the fall of Gondor.Copy !req
1422. She said to me,
"Even now there is hope left."Copy !req
1423. But I cannot see it.Copy !req
1424. It is long since we had any hope.Copy !req
1425. My father is a noble man.Copy !req
1426. But his rule is failing...Copy !req
1427. and our people lose faith.Copy !req
1428. He looks to me to make things right,
and I would do it.Copy !req
1429. I would see the glory
of Gondor restored.Copy !req
1430. Have you ever seen it, Aragorn?Copy !req
1431. The White Tower of Ecthelion.Copy !req
1432. Glimmering like a spike
of pearl and silver.Copy !req
1433. Its banners caught high
in the morning breeze.Copy !req
1434. Have you ever been called home...Copy !req
1435. by the clear ringing
of silver trumpets?Copy !req
1436. I have seen the White City...Copy !req
1437. long ago.Copy !req
1438. One day, our paths will lead us there.Copy !req
1439. And the tower guard
shall take up the call:Copy !req
1440. "The Lords of Gondor have returned."Copy !req
1441. Will you look into the mirror?Copy !req
1442. What will I see?Copy !req
1443. Even the wisest cannot tell.Copy !req
1444. For the mirror...Copy !req
1445. shows many things.Copy !req
1446. Things that were...Copy !req
1447. things that are...Copy !req
1448. and some things...Copy !req
1449. that have not yet come to pass.Copy !req
1450. I know what it is you saw.Copy !req
1451. For it is also in my mind.Copy !req
1452. It is what will come to pass
if you should fail.Copy !req
1453. The Fellowship is breaking.
It is already begun.Copy !req
1454. He will try to take the Ring.Copy !req
1455. You know of whom I speak.Copy !req
1456. One by one, it will destroy them all.Copy !req
1457. If you ask it of me...Copy !req
1458. l will give you the One Ring.Copy !req
1459. You offer it to me freely.Copy !req
1460. I do not deny that my heart
has greatly desired this.Copy !req
1461. In place of a Dark Lord,
you would have a queen...Copy !req
1462. not dark but beautiful,
and terrible as the dawn!Copy !req
1463. Treacherous as the sea!Copy !req
1464. Stronger than the foundations
of the earth!Copy !req
1465. All shall love me...Copy !req
1466. and despair.Copy !req
1467. I pass the test. I will diminish...Copy !req
1468. and go into the West...Copy !req
1469. and remain Galadriel.
- I cannot do this alone.Copy !req
1470. You are a Ring-bearer, Frodo.
To bear a Ring of Power...Copy !req
1471. is to be alone.Copy !req
1472. This is Nenya,
the Ring of Adamant.Copy !req
1473. And I am its keeper.Copy !req
1474. This task was appointed to you.Copy !req
1475. And if you do not find a way...Copy !req
1476. no one will.Copy !req
1477. Then I know what I must do.Copy !req
1478. It's just...Copy !req
1479. l'm afraid to do it.Copy !req
1480. Even the smallest person can change
the course of the future.Copy !req
1481. Do you know how the Orcs
first came into being?Copy !req
1482. They were Elves once.Copy !req
1483. Taken by the Dark Powers...Copy !req
1484. tortured and mutilated.Copy !req
1485. A ruined and terrible form of life.Copy !req
1486. And now...Copy !req
1487. perfected.Copy !req
1488. My fighting Uruk-hai...Copy !req
1489. whom do you serve?Copy !req
1490. Saruman!Copy !req
1491. Hunt them down. Do not stop
until they are found.Copy !req
1492. You do not know pain.
You do not know fear.Copy !req
1493. You will taste Man-flesh!Copy !req
1494. One of the halflings carries
something of great value.Copy !req
1495. Bring them to me alive and unspoiled.Copy !req
1496. Kill the others.Copy !req
1497. Never before have we clad
strangers in the garb of our own people.Copy !req
1498. May these cloaks help shield you
from unfriendly eyes.Copy !req
1499. Lembas.Copy !req
1500. Elvish waybread.Copy !req
1501. One small bite is enough to fill
the stomach of a grown man.Copy !req
1502. How many did you eat?Copy !req
1503. Four.Copy !req
1504. Every league you travel south,
the danger will increase.Copy !req
1505. Mordor Orcs now hold the eastern shore
of the Anduin.Copy !req
1506. Nor will you find safety
on the western bank.Copy !req
1507. Strange creatures bearing the White Hand
have been seen on our borders.Copy !req
1508. Seldom do Orcs journey in the open
under the sun, yet these have done so.Copy !req
1509. You are being tracked.Copy !req
1510. By river you have the chance...Copy !req
1511. of outrunning the enemy
to the Falls of Rauros.Copy !req
1512. My gift for you, Legolas,
is a bow of the Galadhrim.Copy !req
1513. Worthy of the skill
of our woodland kin.Copy !req
1514. These are the daggers of the Noldorin.Copy !req
1515. They have already seen service in war.Copy !req
1516. Do not fear, young Peregrin Took.Copy !req
1517. You will find your courage.Copy !req
1518. And for you, Samwise Gamgee...Copy !req
1519. Elven rope made of hithlain.Copy !req
1520. Thank you, my lady.Copy !req
1521. Have you run out
of those nice, shiny daggers?Copy !req
1522. And what gift would a dwarf ask
of the Elves?Copy !req
1523. Nothing.Copy !req
1524. Except to look upon the lady
of the Galadhrim one last time...Copy !req
1525. for she is more fair
than all the jewels beneath the earth.Copy !req
1526. Actually...Copy !req
1527. There was one thing.Copy !req
1528. No, no, I'm talking nonsense.
It's quite impossible.Copy !req
1529. Stupid to ask.Copy !req
1530. I have nothing greater to give...Copy !req
1531. than the gift you already bear.Copy !req
1532. For her love,Copy !req
1533. I fear the grace of Arwen Evenstar
will diminish.Copy !req
1534. I would have her leave these shores,Copy !req
1535. and be with her people.Copy !req
1536. I would have her take the ship to Valinor.Copy !req
1537. That choice is yet before her.Copy !req
1538. You have your own choice to make,
Aragorn.Copy !req
1539. To rise above the height of all
your fathers since the days of Elendil...Copy !req
1540. or to fall into darkness
with all that is left of your kin.Copy !req
1541. Farewell.Copy !req
1542. There is much you have yet to do.Copy !req
1543. We shall not meet again...Copy !req
1544. Elessar.Copy !req
1545. Farewell, Frodo Baggins.Copy !req
1546. I give you the light of Eärendil...Copy !req
1547. our most beloved star.Copy !req
1548. May it be a light for you
in dark places...Copy !req
1549. when all other lights go out.Copy !req
1550. I have taken my worst wound
at this parting...Copy !req
1551. having looked my last upon that
which is fairest.Copy !req
1552. Henceforth I will call nothing fair
unless it be her gift to me.Copy !req
1553. What was her gift?Copy !req
1554. I asked her for one hair
from her golden head.Copy !req
1555. She gave me three.Copy !req
1556. Gollum. He has tracked us since Moria.Copy !req
1557. I had hoped we would lose him
on the river.Copy !req
1558. But he's too clever a Waterman.Copy !req
1559. And if he alerts the enemy
to our whereabouts...Copy !req
1560. it will make the crossing
even more dangerous.Copy !req
1561. Have some food, Mr. Frodo.Copy !req
1562. - No, Sam.
- You haven't eaten anything all day.Copy !req
1563. You're not sleeping, neither.
Don't think I haven't noticed.Copy !req
1564. - Mr. Frodo—
- l'm all right.Copy !req
1565. But you're not.Copy !req
1566. I'm here to help you.Copy !req
1567. I promised Gandalf that I would.Copy !req
1568. You can't help me, Sam.Copy !req
1569. Not this time.Copy !req
1570. Get some sleep.Copy !req
1571. Minas Tirith is the safer road.Copy !req
1572. You know that.
From there we can regroup.Copy !req
1573. Strike out for Mordor from a place
of strength.Copy !req
1574. There is no strength in Gondor
that can avail us.Copy !req
1575. You were quick enough to trust
the Elves.Copy !req
1576. Have you so little faith
in your own people?Copy !req
1577. Yes, there is weakness.
There is frailty.Copy !req
1578. But there is courage also,
and honor to be found in Men.Copy !req
1579. But you will not see that.Copy !req
1580. You are afraid!Copy !req
1581. All your life, you have hidden
in the shadows.Copy !req
1582. Scared of who you are,
of what you are.Copy !req
1583. I will not lead the Ring within
a hundred leagues of your city.Copy !req
1584. Frodo.Copy !req
1585. The Argonath.Copy !req
1586. Long have I desired
to look upon the kings of old.Copy !req
1587. My kin.Copy !req
1588. We cross the lake at nightfall.Copy !req
1589. Hide the boats and continue on foot.Copy !req
1590. - We approach Mordor from the North.
- Oh, yes?Copy !req
1591. Just a simple matter of finding
our way through Emyn Muil...Copy !req
1592. an impassable labyrinth
of razor-sharp rocks.Copy !req
1593. And after that, it gets even better.Copy !req
1594. Festering, stinking marshland
as far as the eye can see.Copy !req
1595. That is our road.Copy !req
1596. I suggest you take some rest
and recover your strength, Master Dwarf.Copy !req
1597. Recover my—Copy !req
1598. - We should leave now.
- No.Copy !req
1599. Orcs patrol the eastern shore.
We must wait for cover of darkness.Copy !req
1600. It is not the eastern shore
that worries me.Copy !req
1601. A shadow and a threat
has been growing in my mind.Copy !req
1602. Something draws near.
I can feel it.Copy !req
1603. Recover strength?
Pay no heed to that, young Hobbit.Copy !req
1604. Where's Frodo?Copy !req
1605. None of us should wander alone.Copy !req
1606. You, least of all.Copy !req
1607. So much depends on you.Copy !req
1608. Frodo?Copy !req
1609. I know why you seek solitude.Copy !req
1610. You suffer. I see it day by day.Copy !req
1611. You sure you do not suffer needlessly?Copy !req
1612. There are other ways, Frodo.Copy !req
1613. - Other paths that we might take.
- I know what you would say.Copy !req
1614. It would seem like wisdom
but for the warning in my heart.Copy !req
1615. Warning? Against what?Copy !req
1616. We're all afraid, Frodo.Copy !req
1617. But to let that fear drive us,
to destroy what hope we have...Copy !req
1618. don't you see that is madness?
- There is no other way.Copy !req
1619. I ask only for the strength
to defend my people!Copy !req
1620. - If you would but lend me the Ring.
- No.Copy !req
1621. - Why do you recoil? I am no thief.
- You are not yourself.Copy !req
1622. What chance do you think you have?Copy !req
1623. They will find you.
They will take the Ring.Copy !req
1624. And you will beg for death
before the end!Copy !req
1625. You fool!Copy !req
1626. It is not yours, save by unhappy chance!
It could have been mine.Copy !req
1627. It should be mine! Give it to me!Copy !req
1628. - Give it to me!
- No!Copy !req
1629. - Give it to me!
- No.Copy !req
1630. I see your mind.Copy !req
1631. You will take the Ring to Sauron!Copy !req
1632. You will betray us!Copy !req
1633. You'll go to your death,
and the death of us all!Copy !req
1634. Curse you!
Curse you and all the halflings!Copy !req
1635. Frodo?Copy !req
1636. Frodo.Copy !req
1637. What have I done?Copy !req
1638. Please, Frodo.Copy !req
1639. Frodo, I'm sorry!Copy !req
1640. Frodo!Copy !req
1641. Frodo?Copy !req
1642. - It has taken Boromir.
- Where is the Ring?Copy !req
1643. Stay away!Copy !req
1644. Frodo!Copy !req
