Elijah Wood (back to the E list / W list)

Frodo: It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill him when he had the chance.

Gandalf: Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet, for good or ill before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.

Aragorn: Are you frightened?

Frodo: Yes.

Aragorn: Not nearly frightened enough. I know what hunts you.

Frodo: I wish the ring never came to me.

Gandalf: So do all who have carried its burden, but that is not for us to decide. All there is to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.

Frodo: I am just a hobbit, Gandalf, you are a great wizard. You take the Ring!

Gandalf: [Backing away] No! No! I must not take the Ring. It will work through me, and I will do great evil, thinking I am doing great good.

[Another Hobbit drunkenly hits on Rosie, Sam's crush.]

Frodo: Don't worry, Sam. Rosie knows an idiot when she sees one.

Sam: [Worried.] Does she?

Frodo: There will be none left for the return journey.

Sam: I don't think there will be a return journey, Mr. Frodo.

Bilbo: Tell me again... where are we going?

Frodo: To the harbor, Bilbo. The elves have accorded you a high honor; a place on the last ship to leave Middle Earth.

Bilbo: Any chance of me seeing that old ring again? Hmm? The one I gave you?

Frodo: I'm sorry, uncle... I'm afraid I lost it.

Bilbo: Oh... pity. I should have liked to have held it one last time.

Frodo: I am Frodo Baggins, and this is Samwise Gamgee.

Faramir: Your bodyguard?

Sam: His gardener.

Sam: It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end it's only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand, I know now folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?

Sam: That there's some good in the world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.
