Frodo Baggins: Ant thus it was. A Fourth Age of Middle-earth began. And the Fellowship of the Ring though eternally bound by friendship and love was ended. Thirtheen months to the day since Gandalf sent us on our long journey, we found ourselves looking upon a familiar sight. We were home.
Frodo Baggins: How do you go on when in your heart, you begin to understand there is no going back?
There are some things that time cannot mend, some hurts that go too deep that have taken hold.

Aragorn: I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight!
Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.
Pippin: What? Gandalf? See what?
Gandalf: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
Samwise Gamgee: Yes, Mr. Frodo. It's over now. *Lava erupts around the two Hobbits*
Frodo Baggins: I can see the Shire... the Brandywine River... Bag End... Gandalf's fireworks... the lights in the Party Tree.
Samwise Gamgee: Rosie Cotton dancing. She had ribbons in her hair. If ever I was married to someone, it would've been her. *sniffling* It would've been her. *sobbing*
Frodo Baggins: I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things.
Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path... One that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass... And then you see it.
Pippin: What, Gandalf? See what?
Gandalf: White shores... and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
Frodo Baggins: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
Gollum/Sméagol: They cursed us. Murderer they called us. They cursed us, and drove us away. And we wept, Precious, we wept to be so alone. And we only wish to catch fish so juicy sweet. And we forgot the taste of bread... the sound of trees... the softness of the wind. We even forgot our own name. My Precious.
Frodo Baggins: I can see the Shire. The Brandywine River, Bag End, Gandalf's fireworks, the lights in the party tree.
Samwise Gamgee: Rosie Cotton dancing. She had ribbons in her hair. If ever I was to marry someone, it would have been her. [sobs] It would have been her!
Frodo Baggins: I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things.
Gandalf: Farewell, my brave Hobbits. My work is 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.
Denethor: You think you are wise, Mithrandir. Yet for all your subtlties you have not wisdom. Do you think the eyes of the White Tower are blind? I have seen more than you know. Your right hand you would use as a shield against Mordor, and with your left you would seek to subplot me. I know who rides with Theoden of Rohan. Oh yes, word have reached my ears of this Aragorn, son of Arathorn. And I tell you now, I will not bow to this ranger from the north!
Frodo Baggins: Then Frodo kissed Merry and Pippin, and finally to Sam, and went aboard, and the sails were hoisted, and the wind blew, and slowly the ship slipped along des estuary gray and light of the Phial of Galadriel Frodo wore in high scintillation and died. And the ship on the high seas internal west, until at last on a night of rain Frodo felt a fragrance in the air and heard singing coming upon the waters, and he thought that, as in the dream he had in the house of Tom Bombadil, the gray rain curtain was transformed into silver and crystal, and the curtain was opened and appeared before the white beaches, and beyond a distant country to green light a quick sunrise.
Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path... One that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass... And then you see it.
Pippin: What? Gandalf?... See what?
Gandalf: White shores... and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
Aragorn: I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me.

Frodo Baggins: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
Samwise Gamgee: Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields... and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?
Frodo Baggins: No, Sam. I can't recall the taste of food... nor the sound of water... nor the touch of grass. I'm... naked in the dark, with nothing, no veil... between me... and the wheel of fire! I can see him... with my waking eyes!
Samwise Gamgee: Then let us be rid of it... once and for all! Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you!
Aragorn: I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day.

Aragorn: Hold your ground! Hold your ground! Sons of rohan, my brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. The day may come where the courage of men fails... when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day... an hour of wolves and shattered sheilds, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand men of the west!
Gandalf: Our enemy is ready, his full strength gathered. Not only orcs, but men as well: legions of Haradrim from the south, mercenaries from the coast. All will answer Mordor's call.
Arwen: From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadow shall spring.
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
Denethor: You think you are wise, Mithrandir. Yet for all your subtleties, you have not wisdom. Do you think the eyes of the White Tower are blind? I have seen more than you know. With your left hand you would use me as a shield against Mordor, and with your right you would seek to supplant me. I know who rides with Theoden of Rohan. Oh, yes. Word has reached my ears of this Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and I tell you now, I will not bow to this Ranger from the North, last of a ragged house long bereft of lordship!
King Théoden: Forth, and fear no darkness! Arise! Arise, Riders of Theoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword day... a red day ere the sun rises! Ride now!... Ride! Ride to ruin and the world's ending!
Aragorn: Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!

Pippin: What? Gandalf? See what?
Gandalf: White shores... and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
Aragorn: For Frodo.
[He charges out towards the remaining army of Mordor alone. Merry and Pippin raise their swords and yell then charge. The rest of the soldiers do the same and soon overtake Merry and Pippin]
Merry: You can search far and wide. You can drink the whole town dry. But you'll never find a beer so brown as the one we drink in our hometown. You can drink your fancy ales. You can drink them by the flagon. But the only brew for the brave and tru-u-u-ue comes from the Green Dragon!
Pippin: You can search far and wide. You can drink the whole town dry. But you'll never find a beer so brown as the one we drink in our hometown. You can drink your fancy ales. You can drink them by the flagon. But the only brew for the brave and tru-u-u-ue comes from the Green Dragon!

By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you *stand, Men of the West!*

King Théoden: Look at my men. Their courage hangs by a thread. If this is to be our end, then I would have them make such an end, as to be worthy of remembrance
Samwise Gamgee: [tearing the spider silk away from Frodo's face] Oh no! Frodo... Mr. Frodo, wake up... Don't leave me here alone. Don't go where I can't follow... Wake up.
