Quotes
-
Legolas : Hurry! Frodo and Sam have reached the eastern shore.
[Aragorn does not move]
Legolas : You mean not to follow them.
Aragorn : Frodo's fate is no longer in our hands.
Gimli : Then it has all been in vain. The fellowship has failed.
Aragorn : Not if we hold true to each other.
[pause]
Aragorn : We will not abandon Merry and Pippin to torment and death. Not while we have strength left. Leave all that can be spared behind. We travel light. Let's hunt some Orc.
Gimli : YES!

[Gandalf picks up a book that the skeleton of a Dwarf was holding]
Legolas : [to Aragorn] We must move on, we cannot linger.
Gandalf : [starts reading from the book] They have taken the bridge and the second hall. We have barred the gates but cannot hold them for long. The ground shakes, drums... drums in the deep. We cannot get out. A shadow lurks in the dark. We can not get out... they are coming.
-
Gimli : [upon leaving Lorien and Galadriel] I have been dealt a wound beyond all healing, for I have looked the last... upon that which was fairest.
[sighs]
Gimli : Henceforth I will call nothing fair unless it be her gift to me.
Legolas : What was it?
Gimli : I asked for one hair from her golden head... she gave me three.
-
Elrond : Strangers from distant lands, friends of old, you have been summoned here to answer the threat of Mordor. Middle Earth stands upon the brink of destruction; none can escape it. You will unite or you will fall. Each race is bound to this fate, this one doom. Bring forth the ring, Frodo.
Boromir : [Frodo puts the ring on a stand for all to see] So it is true. In a dream, I saw the Eastern sky grow dark. But in the West, a pale light lingered. A voice was crying, "The doom is near at hand, Isildur's Bane is found."
[reaches for the Ring]
Boromir : Isildur's Bane...
Aragorn : Boromir!
Gandalf : [speaking the words engraved on the Ring] Ash Nazg Durbatuluk, Ash Nazg Gimbatul, Ash Nazg Thrakatuluk, Agh Burzum-ishi Krimpatul.
[the light darkens and the air rumbles; Boromir backs away from the Ring]
Elrond : Never before has anyone dared utter words of that tongue here, in Imladris.
Gandalf : I do not ask for pardon, Master Elrond, for the Black Speech of Mordor may yet be heard in every corner of the West! The Ring is altogether evil.
Boromir : It is a gift. A gift to the foes of Mordor. Why not use this ring? Long has my father, the Steward of Gondor, kept the forces of Mordor at bay. By the blood of our people are your lands kept safe. Give Gondor the weapon of the enemy. Let us use it against him.
Aragorn : You cannot wield it. None of us can. The One Ring answers to Sauron alone. It has no other master.
Boromir : And what would a Ranger know of this matter?
Legolas : This is no mere Ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance.
Boromir : Aragorn? This is Isildur's heir?
Legolas : And heir to the throne of Gondor
Aragorn : [Elvish] Sit down, Legolas.
Boromir : Gondor has no King. Gondor needs no King.
Gandalf : Aragorn is right. We cannot use it.
Elrond : You have only one choice. The Ring must be destroyed.
Gimli : Then what are we waiting for?
[He strikes the ring with his axe; the axe breaks, leaving the ring intact]
Elrond : The ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Gloin, by any craft that we here possess. The ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade. The ring must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came. One of you must do this.
Boromir : One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its black gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. The great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, ash, and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten-thousand men could you do this. It is folly.
Legolas : Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond has said? The ring must be destroyed!
Gimli : And I suppose you think you're the one to do it?
Boromir : And if we fail, what then? What happens when Sauron takes back what is his?
Gimli : I will be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an Elf! Never trust an Elf!
-
Legolas : Something draws near. I can feel it.
-
Legolas : We must move on. We cannot linger.
