John Rhys-Davies as Gimli

  • (John Rhys-Davies) "I have been dealt a wound beyond all healing, for I have looked the last -- upon that which was fairest."

  • (John Rhys-Davies) "I asked for one hair from her golden head -- she gave me three."

  • (Gandalf) "Yes, Gimli, their own masters cannot find them, if their secrets are forgotten."
  • (Orlando Bloom) "Why doesn't that surprise me?"
  • (John Rhys-Davies) "Let them come. There is one Dwarf yet in Moria who still draws breath."
  • (John Rhys-Davies) "They say that a great sorceress lives in these woods. An Elf witch of terrible power. All who look upon her fall under her spell -- and are never seen again."

Hugo Weaving as Elrond

  • (Hugo Weaving) "His strength returns."
  • (Gandalf) "That wound will never fully heal. He will carry it the rest of his life."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "And yet, to have come so far, still bearing the Ring, the Hobbit has shown extraordinary resilience to its evil."
  • (Gandalf) "It is a burden he should never have had to bear. We can ask no more of Frodo."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "Gandalf, the enemy is moving. Sauron's forces are massing in the East; his eye is fixed on Rivendell. And Saruman, you tell me, has betrayed us. Our list of allies grows thin."
  • (Gandalf) "His treachery runs deeper than you know. By foul craft, Saruman has crossed Orcs with goblin men. He's breeding an army in the caverns of Isengard. An army that can move in sunlight and cover great distance at speed. Saruman is coming for the Ring."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "This evil cannot be concealed by the power of the Elves. We do not have the strength to withstand both Mordor and Isengard. Gandalf, the Ring cannot stay here. This evil belongs to all of Middle-Earth. They must decide now how to end it. The time of the Elves is over, my people are leaving these shores. Who will you look to when we've gone? The Dwarves? They toil away in caverns, seeking riches. They care nothing for the troubles of others."
  • (Gandalf) "It is in Men that we must place our hope."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "Men? Men are weak. The Blood of Numenor is all but spent, its pride and dignity forgotten. It is because of Men the Ring survives. I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand years ago. I was there the day the strength of Men failed."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "Isildur, hurry, follow me."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "I led Isildur deep into the fires of Mount Doom, where the Ring was forged, the one place it could be destroyed."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "Cast it into the fire. Destroy it."
  • (Harry Sinclair) "No."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "Isildur."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "Isildur kept the Ring. It should have ended that day, but evil was allowed to endure. There's no strength left in the world of Men. They're scattered, divided, leaderless."
  • (Gandalf) "There is one who could unite them. One who could reclaim the throne of Gondor."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "He turned from that path a long time ago. He has chosen exile."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "Men? Men are weak."
  • (Gandalf) "Ash Nazg Durbatuluk, Ash Nazg Gimbatul, Ash Nazg Thrakatuluk, Agh Burzum-ishi Krimpatul."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "Never before has any one dared utter the 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."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "There's no strength left in the world of Men."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "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."
  • (Sean Bean) "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.""
  • (Sean Bean) "Isildur's Bane --"
  • (Aragorn) "Boromir."
  • (Gandalf) "Ash Nazg Durbatuluk, Ash Nazg Gimbatul, Ash Nazg Thrakatuluk, Agh Burzum-ishi Krimpatul."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "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."
  • (Sean Bean) "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."
  • (Sean Bean) "And what would a Ranger know of this matter?"
  • (Orlando Bloom) "This is no mere Ranger. He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You owe him your allegiance."
  • (Sean Bean) "Aragorn? This is Isildur's heir?"
  • (Orlando Bloom) "And heir to the throne of Gondor"
  • (Aragorn) "Sit down, Legolas."
  • (Sean Bean) "Gondor has no King. Gondor needs no King."
  • (Gandalf) "Aragorn is right. We cannot use it."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "You have only one choice. The Ring must be destroyed."
  • (John Rhys-Davies) "Then what are we waiting for?"
  • (Hugo Weaving) "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."
  • (Sean Bean) "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."
  • (Orlando Bloom) "Have you heard nothing Lord Elrond has said? The ring must be destroyed."
  • (John Rhys-Davies) "And I suppose you think you're the one to do it?"
  • (Sean Bean) "And if we fail, what then? What happens when Sauron takes back what is his?"
  • (John Rhys-Davies) "I will be dead before I see the Ring in the hands of an Elf. Never trust an Elf."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "Nine companions. So be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring."
  • (Pippin) "Great. Where are we going?"

Christopher Lee as Saruman

  • (Christopher Lee) "Do you know how the Orcs first came into being? They were elves once, taken by the dark powers, tortured and mutilated. A ruined and terrible form of life. Now -- perfected. My fighting Uruk-Hai. Whom do you serve?"
  • (Lawrence Makoare) "Saruman."
  • (Christopher Lee) "Against the power of Mordor there can be no victory."
  • (Christopher Lee) "We must join with Him, Gandalf. We must join with Sauron. It would be wise, my friend."
  • (Gandalf) "Tell me, "friend", when did Saruman the Wise abandon reason for madness?"
  • (Christopher Lee) "Hunt them down. Do not stop until they are found. You do not know pain, you do not know fear. You will taste man-flesh."
  • (Gandalf) "There is only one Lord of the Ring, only one who can bend it to his will, and he does not share power."
  • (Christopher Lee) "So you have chosen -- death."
  • (Hero Orc) "The trees are strong, my lord. Their roots go deep."
  • (Christopher Lee) "Rip them all down."
  • (Christopher Lee) "The hour is later than you think. Sauron's forces are already moving. The Nine have left Minas Morgul."
  • (Gandalf) "The Nine?"
  • (Christopher Lee) "They crossed the River Isen on Midsummer's Eve, disguised as riders in black."
  • (Gandalf) "They've reached the Shire?"
  • (Christopher Lee) "They will find the Ring, and kill the one who carries it."
  • (Christopher Lee) "The power of Isengard is at your command, Sauron, Lord of the Earth."
  • (Christopher Lee) "Concealed within his fortress, the lord of Mordor sees all. His gaze pierces cloud, shadow, earth, and flesh. You know of what I speak, Gandalf: a great Eye, lidless, wreathed in flame."
  • (Gandalf) "But we still have time. Time enough to counter Sauron if we act quickly."
  • (Christopher Lee) "Time? What time do you think we have?"
  • (Christopher Lee) "You did not seriously think that a Hobbit could contend with the will of Sauron, there are none that can."
  • (Christopher Lee) "Your love of the Halfings' leaf has clearly slowed your mind."
  • (Christopher Lee) "I gave you the chance of aiding me willingly, but you have elected the way of pain."
  • (Christopher Lee) "Moria -- You fear to go into those mines. The Dwarves delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dum -- shadow and flame."

David Weatherley as Barliman Butterbur

  • (Frodo) "We're friends of Gandalf the Grey, can you tell him we've arrived?"
  • (David Weatherley) "Gandalf? Gandalf -- Oh, yes, I remember. Elderly chap, big gray beard, pointy hat. Not seen him for six months."

Sean Astin as Sam

  • (Sean Astin) "Think I'm gettin' the hang of this."
  • (Galadriel) "For you, Samwise Gamgee, Elven rope, made of hithline."
  • (Sean Astin) "Thank You M'Lady -- Have you ran out of those nice shiny daggers?"
  • (Rose 'Rosie' Cotton) "Good night, lads."
  • (Frodo) "Good night."
  • (Ted Sandyman) "Good night, sweet maiden of the golden ale."
  • (Sean Astin) "Oi, mind who you're sweet talking."
  • (Frodo) "Don't worry Sam, Rosie knows an idiot when she sees one."
  • (Sean Astin) "-- does she?"
  • (Sean Astin) "There's an eye-opener, and no mistake."
  • (Sean Astin) "This is it."
  • (Frodo) "This is what?"
  • (Sean Astin) "If I take one more step, it'll be the farthest away from home I've ever been."
  • (Frodo) "Come on, Sam. Remember what Bilbo used to say: "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.""
  • (Gandalf) "Confound it all, Samwise Gamgee. Have you been eavesdropping?"
  • (Sean Astin) "I ain't been droppin' no eaves sir, honest. I was just cutting the grass under the window there, if you'll follow me."
  • (Gandalf) "A little late for trimming the verge, don't you think?"
  • (Sean Astin) "I heard raised voices."
  • (Gandalf) "What did you hear? Speak."
  • (Sean Astin) "N-nothing important. That is, I heard a good deal about a ring, and a Dark Lord, and something about the end of the world, but -- Please, Mr. Gandalf, sir, don't hurt me. Don't turn me into anything -- unnatural."
  • (Sean Astin) "Hey. Mr. Frodo's not going anywhere without me."
  • (Hugo Weaving) "No, indeed. It is hardly possible to separate you, even when he is summoned to a secret council and you are not."
  • (Sean Astin) "I made a promise, Mr Frodo. A promise. "Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee." And I don't mean to. I don't mean to."
  • (Sean Astin) "Trust a Brandybuck and a Took."
  • (Merry) "What? That was just a detour, a shortcut."
  • (Sean Astin) "Shortcut to what?"
  • (Pippin) "Mushrooms."
  • (Frodo) "They're going to the harbor beyond the White Towers. To the Grey Havens."
  • (Sean Astin) "They're leaving Middle-earth."
  • (Frodo) "Never to return."
  • (Sean Astin) "I don't know why; it makes me sad."
  • (Frodo) "Mordor -- I hope the others find a safer road."
  • (Sean Astin) "Strider'll look after them."
  • (Frodo) "I don't suppose we'll ever see them again."
  • (Sean Astin) "We may yet, Mr. Frodo. We may."
  • (Frodo) "Sam -- I'm glad you're with me."
  • (Sean Astin) "They should do a bit about his fireworks. The finest rockets ever seen burst in colors of blue and green, then after that were silver showers that came falling like a rain of flowers. Oh no, that doesn't to them any justice."
  • (Frodo) "Go back, Sam. I'm going to Mordor alone."
  • (Sean Astin) "Of course you are. And I'm coming with you."

Orlando Bloom as Legolas

  • (Orlando Bloom) "We should leave now."
  • (Aragorn) "No. Orcs patrol the eastern shore. We must wait for cover of darkness."
  • (Orlando Bloom) "It is not the eastern shore that worries me. A shadow and a threat have been growing in my mind. Something draws near, I can feel it."
  • (Orlando Bloom) "We must move on, we cannot linger."
  • (Gandalf) "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."
  • (Orlando Bloom) "A lament for Gandalf --"
  • (Merry) "What do they say about him?"
  • (Orlando Bloom) "I have not the heart to tell you. For me the grief is still too near."
  • (Orlando Bloom) "Lembas."
  • (Orlando Bloom) "One small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man."
  • (Merry) "How many did you eat?"
  • (Pippin) "Four."
  • (Aragorn) "If by my life or death I can protect you, I will. You have my sword --"
  • (Orlando Bloom) "And you have my bow."
  • (John Rhys-Davies) "And my axe."
  • (Sean Bean) "You carry the fate of us all, little one. If this is indeed the will of the Council, then Gondor will see it done."
  • (Orlando Bloom) "We must move on. We cannot linger."
  • (Orlando Bloom) "There is a fell voice on the air."
  • (Gandalf) "It's Saruman."
  • (Aragorn) "He's trying to bring down the mountain. Gandalf, we must turn back."
  • (Gandalf) "No."
  • (Orlando Bloom) "Something draws near. I can feel it."
  • (Orlando Bloom) "Hurry. Frodo and Sam have reached the eastern shore."
  • (Orlando Bloom) "You mean not to follow them."
  • (Aragorn) "Frodo's fate is no longer in our hands."
  • (John Rhys-Davies) "Then it has all been in vain. The fellowship has failed."
  • (Aragorn) "Not if we hold true to each other."
  • (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."
  • (John Rhys-Davies) "YES."
