Elrond: <Coming into her room> Arwen.
<Arwen hears him and sits up.>
Elrond: Tollen i l�. I chair gwannar na Valannor. Si bado, no c�rar. (Arwen, it is time. The ships are leaving for Valinor. Go now... before it is too late.)
Arwen: I have made my choice.
Elrond: He is not coming back. Why do you linger here when there is no hope?
Arwen: There is still hope.
Elrond: <Walks towards window and looks out> If Aragorn survives this war, you will still be parted. If Sauron is defeated, and Aragorn made king and all that you hope for comes true, you will still have to taste the bitterness of mortality.
<Arwen sees a vision of her future as Elrond speaks. She is dressed as a queen in mourning garb and looking down upon Aragorn, a crown on his brow, Anduril in his hand, and dead. Mourners are walking around the altar, paying their final respects. Arwen is weeping.>
Elrond: Whether by the sword or the slow decay of time, Aragorn will die. And there will be no comfort for you. No comfort to ease the pain of his passing. He will come to death, an image of the splendor of the kings of men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world.
<The body of Aragorn is now cast as a monument in stone. Arwen stands before the monument, veiled and in black.>
Elrond: But you, my daughter, you will linger on in darkness and in doubt. As nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Here you will dwell, bound to your grief, under the fading trees, until all the world has changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent.
<Still veiled in black, Arwen is walking alone through the deserted woods of Lothlorien.>
Elrond: <Tuning to Arwen> Arwen... there is nothing for you here, only death.
<The vision ends and Arwen weeps with sadness and fear. Elrond comes to sit beside his daughter and raises a hand to her cheek.>
okay not my fave parts but defaintly a touching part!
Gimli: Most have seen too many winters.
Legolas: Or too few. Look at them. They�re frightened. I can see it in their eyes. <The men around them fell silent. Legolas speaks to Aragorn.> Boe a h�n: neled herain dan caer menig! (And they should be... Three hundred against ten thousand!)
Aragorn: Si beriathar h�n. Amar n� ned Edoras. (They have more hope of defending themselves here than at Edoras.)
Legolas: Aragorn, men i ndagor. H�n �-... ortheri. Natha daged aen! (Aragorn, We are warriors. They cannot win this fight. They are all going to die!)
Aragorn: Then I shall die as one them! <He pauses and then walks away. Legolas makes as if to go after him.>
Legolas: I�m on seventeen!
Gimli: <Outraged> Argh! I�ll have no pointy-ear outscoring me! <He turns to a Uruk just climbing over the wall, whacking it in the groin with his axe and killing it as it falls.>
Legolas: <Fires two arrows> Nineteen
Legolas: Le ab-dollen. (You�re late.) <They smile. Legolas pauses and looks at Aragorn�s wounds.> You look terrible.
<To the side, Eowyn sees Aragorn and a smiles joyously and with relief. Legolas takes Aragorn�s hand and gives the Evenstar pendant. Aragorn looks at the Evenstar and claps Legolas on the shoulder.>
Aragorn: Hannon le. (Thank you.)
<Eowyn looks on and smiles even as tears fill her eyes.>
Sam: <Getting up slowly> I know. It�s all wrong. By rights we shouldn�t even be here. But we are. <He stands and leans against a wall, looking out into the distance.> It�s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. <Images of the riders winning the battle against the Uruk-hai at Helm�s Deep> 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?
Theoden: Victory! We have victory! <He raises his sword with a victorious cry>
Sam: But in the end, it�s only a passing thing, this shadow. <The women and children welcome the men as they return. Eowyn runs up to Aragorn and embraces him, crying tears of relief.> Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. <Isengard is flooded. Merry and Pippin looks on from their perch on Treebeard. On the balcony, Saruman stumbles back into his chamber> And when the sun shines it will 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. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?
Sam: There�s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it�s worth fighting for.
<Standing in a corner, even Gollum seems moved. Faramir walks over and comes to kneel in front of Frodo>
Faramir: I think at last we understand one another, Frodo Baggins.
Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more
Don�t say � goodbye
Don�t say � I didn�t try
These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies
You told us
The hurt, the blame!
And we will weep
To be so alone
We are lost!
We can never go home.
So in the end
I will be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me.
Now we say goodbye
We say you didn�t try
These tears you cry
Have come too late
Take back the lies
The hurt, the blame!
And you will weep
When you face the end alone
You are lost!
You can never go home.
