Quotes from Viggo Mortensen's Characters

    1. 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!
    2. Aragorn: You cannot wield it! None of us can! The One Ring answers to Sauron alone. It has no other master.
    3. Boromir: And what would a Ranger know of this matter?
    4. Legolas: This is no mere Ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance.
