Galadriel: The power of the three rings is ended. Now begins the dominion of Men.
Elrond: I Aear cân ven na mar. (The Sea calls us home.)
Bilbo: I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.
[Gets on boat with Elrond. Galadriel gets on boat with Celeborn]
Gandalf: Farewell. At the edge of these shores, our fellowship comes to an end. My work is ended. I will not say "do not weep," for not all tears are evil.
[heads to the ship, but turns back]
Gandalf: It is time, Frodo.
Sam: What does he mean, Frodo?
Frodo: We set out to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me.
Sam: You don't mean that. You can't leave.
Frodo: [Voiceover] How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand there *is* no going back? There are some things time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep that have taken hold.Frodo: You cannot always be torn in two, Sam. You must be one and a whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy, and to be, and to do.
Sam: It'll be Spring back in the Shire, and the fields will be blossoming, and the birds'll be nesting in the hazel thicket, and they'll be planting the summer barley in the lower fields, and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries, Mr. Frodo?
Frodo: 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. There's nothing--no veil between me and the wheel of fire. I can see him with my waking eyes.
Sam: Then let us be rid of it. I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you.
Sam: "A Hobbit's Tale by Bilbo Baggins, and The Lord of the Rings by Frodo Baggins." You've finished it
Frodo: Not quite, there's room for a little more
Frodo: [hands Sam the book] The last pages are for you, Sam.
Gollum: Wake up. Wake up. Wake up, sleepies. We must go, yeeees, we must go at once.
Sam: Haven't you had any sleep, Mr. Frodo?"
[Frodo shakes his head]
Sam: "I've gone and had too much... it must be getting late.
Frodo: No, it's not. It's not midday, yet. The days are growing darker.
Gollum: We must go.
Sam: Not until Mr. Frodo has had something to eat.
Gollum: No time to lose, silly.
Sam: [Gives Frodo lembas bread] Here, eat this.
Frodo: What about you?
Sam: I'm not hungry. Leastways, not for lembas bread.
Frodo: Sam...
Sam: Alright... we don't have that much left. You go ahead and eat that, Mr. Frodo. I've rationed it... there should be enough left.
Frodo: For what?
Sam: The journey home.
Frodo: I need you on my side.
Sam: I'm on your side Mr Frodo.
Frodo: I know you are Sam.
Frodo: I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee... here, at the end of all things.
Frodo: The Ring is mine.
[Frodo drinks the last drops of water from Sam's waterskin]
Frodo: There'll be none left for the return journey.
Sam: I don't think there's going to be a return journey.
[to Smeagol, after beating him up outside Shelob's lair]
Frodo: I have to destroy it, Smeagol. I have to destroy it for both our sakes.
Frodo: What is this place?
Gollum: Master must go inside the tunnel.
Frodo: Now that I'm here, I don't think I want to.
[Gollum and Frodo stand in front of a tunnel opening, and Frodo hesitates to go in.]
Gollum: It's the only way. Go in, or go back.
Frodo: I cannot go back.
Sam: It's that Gollum, it's this place, it's that thing around your neck. I could help a bit, I could carry it, share the load.
Frodo: Stay away from me
Sam: I don't want to keep it. I just want to help
Frodo: You can't help me anymore.
Sam: You can't mean that.
Frodo: Go home.
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, Bilbo... I'm afraid I lost it.
Bilbo: Oh... pity. I should have liked to have held it one last time.
Galadriel: And for you, Frodo Baggins, I give you the light of Eärendil our most beloved star. May it be a light to you in dark places when all other lights go out.
Frodo: Aiya Eärendil Elenion Ancalima
Sam: I'm sorry to wake you, Mr. Frodo. We have to be moving on.
[Slowly Frodo gets up, his voice sounding wearied.]
Frodo: It's dark still...
Sam: It's always dark here.
