~* Prologue to LotR Movie *~

The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the Earth. I smell it in the air.
Much that once was is lost. For none now live who remember it.
It began with the forging of the great Rings...
Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings.
Seven to the Dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls.
And nine, nine Rings were gifted to the race of Men who above all else, desire power.
For within these Rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race.
But they were all of them deceived, for another Ring was made.
In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron
forged in secret a master Ring, to control all others.
And into this Ring, he poured his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life.

"One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them.
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."

~* Isildur's Message *~

The year thirty-four thirty-four of the Second Age. Here follows the account of Isildur, High King of Gondor, and the finding of the Ring of Power. 'It has come to me, the One Ring. It shall be the heirloom of my kingdom. All that who should follow in my bloodline shall be bound to its fate, for I will risk no hurt to the Ring. It is precious to me, though I buy it with a great pain. The markings upon the band begin to fade. The writing, which at first was as clear as red flame, has all but disappeared, a secret now that only fire can tell.'

~* Hobbit Quotes*~

Bilbo Baggins
"It's mine.... My ownnn.... My Precioussss!"

"I'm old Gandalf. I know I don't look it but I'm beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel thin. Sort of stretched. Like butter scraped over too much bread. I need a holiday, a very long holiday. And I don't expect I shall return. In fact, I mean not to."

"I�m sorry I brought this upon you my boy...I�m sorry that you must carry this burden. I�m sorry for everything!"

Frodo Baggins
"Wait. There are markings. It's some form of Elvish. I can�t read it."

"I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened."

"Alright, we put it away! We keep it hidden! We never speak of it again. No one knows it's here, do they?... Do they Gandalf?"

"I will take it! I will take it! I will take the Ring to Mordor! Though...I do not know the way."

Elrond
�And yet to have come so far, still bearing the Ring, the hobbit has shown extraordinary resilience to its evil.�

�Gandalf, the Ring cannot stay here.�

�Men? Men are weak. The race of Men is failing. The blood of N�menor is all but spent, its pride and dignity forgotten. It is because of Men that the Ring survives. I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand years ago...�

~* Gandalf Quotes*~

"All your long years we�ve been friends. Trust me as you once did. Let it go. "

"A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."

"I dare not take it. Not even to keep it safe. Understand Frodo, I would use this Ring from the desire to do good. But through me, it would wield a power to great and terrible to imagine."

"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. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, in which case you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought."

~* Boromir/Aragorn Quotes *~

Aragorn
�You draw far too much attention to yourself, Mister Underhill!�

�Not nearly frightened enough. I know what hunts you.�

�They were once Men. Great kings of Men. Then Sauron the Deceiver gave to them nine Rings of Power. Blinded by their greed, they took them without question, one by one falling into darkness. Now they are slaves to his will. They are the N�zgul. Ringwraiths. Neither living nor dead. At all times they feel the presence of the Ring, drawn to the power of the One. They will never stop hunting you."

"You cannot wield it. None of us can. The One Ring answers to Sauron alone. It has no other master."

"If by my life or death I can protect you, I will. You have my sword."

Boromir
�The shards of Narsil! The blade that cut the Ring from Sauron's hand!�

"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!"

"One does not simply walk into Mordor. It's black gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. And the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly."

"And if we fail, what then? What happens when Sauron takes back what is his?"

"You carry the fate of us all, little one. If this is indeed the will of the Council, then Gondor will see it done."

"It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing. Such a little thing."
