Quotes 

• Galadriel : The power of the Three Rings is ended. The time has come... for the dominion of Men.

  Elrond : [in Elvish]  The Sea calls us home.

  Bilbo : [smiling]  I think I'm... quite ready for another adventure!

  [Bilbo climbs on board with Elrond. Galadriel follows with Celeborn] 

  Gandalf : Farewell, my brave Hobbits. My work is now finished. Here at last, on the shores of the sea... comes the end of our Fellowship. I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil.

  [Heads to the ship, then turns around, waiting] 

  Gandalf : It is time, Frodo.

  Sam : What does he mean?

  Frodo : We set out to save the Shire, Sam. And it has been saved... But not for me.

  Sam : [weeping]  You don't mean that. You can't leave.

  Frodo : [hands Sam the Red Book]  The last pages are for you, Sam.

• Arwen : Tell me what you have seen.

  Elrond : Arwen?

  Arwen : You have the gift of foresight. What did you see?

  Elrond : I looked into your future and I saw death.

  Arwen : But there is also life. You *saw* there was a child, you saw my son!

  Elrond : That future is almost gone.

  Arwen : But it is not lost.

  Elrond : Nothing is certain.

  Arwen : Some things are certain. If I leave him now, I will regret it forever.

• Elrond : You're outnumbered, Aragorn. You need more men.

  Aragorn : There are none.

  Elrond : There are those who dwell in the mountain.

  Aragorn : Murderers. Traitors. You would call upon them to fight? They believe in nothing. They answer to no one.

  Elrond : They will answer to the king of Gondor.

  [pulls out Anduril] 

  Elrond : Anduril, Flame of the West, forged from the shards of Narsil.

  Aragorn : Sauron will not have forgotten the sword of Elendil. The blade that was broken shall return to Minas Tirith.

  Elrond : The man who can wield the power of this sword can summon to him an army more deadly than any that walks this earth. Put aside the Ranger. Become who you were born to be. Take the Dimholt Road.

  Elrond : [pause; in Elvish]  I give hope to men.

  Aragorn : [in Elvish]  I keep none for myself.

• Galadriel : The power of the Three Rings is ended. The time has come... for the dominion of Men.

  Elrond : I Aear c?n ven na mar.

  [Elvish: The Sea calls us home] 

  Bilbo : I think I'm... quite ready for another adventure.

  [Climbs on board with Elrond. Galadriel gets on boat with Celeborn] 

  Gandalf : Farewell... my brave Hobbits. My work is now finished. Here at last, on the shores of the sea... comes the end of our Fellowship. I will not say, Do not weep... not all tears are an evil.

  [Heads to the ship, then turns around, waiting] 

  Gandalf : It is time, Frodo.

  Sam : What does he mean?

  Frodo : We set out to save the Shire, Sam. And it has been saved. But not for me.

  Sam : You don't mean that. You can't leave.

• Theoden : I take my leave.

  Aragorn : My Lord Elrond.

  Elrond : I come on behalf of one whom I love. Arwen is dying. She will not long survive the evil that now spreads from Mordor. The light of the Evenstar is failing. As Sauron's power grows, her strength wanes. Arwen's life is now tied to the fate of the Ring. The Shadow is upon us, Aragorn. The end has come.

  Aragorn : It will not be our end but his.

• Elrond : You ride to war, but not to victory. Sauron's armies march on Minas Tirith, this you know. But in secret he sends another force which will attack from the river. A fleet of Corsairs ships sails from the south. They reach the city in two days.

• Elrond : You gave away your life's grace. I cannot protect you anymore.

• Elrond : Your hands are cold. The life of the Eldar is leaving you.

  Arwen : This was my choice... ada, whether by your will or not, there is no ship now that can bear me hence.
