The Lord of the Rings
1978
Gandalf: One ring to rule them all; one ring to find them. One ring to keep them all, and in the darkness bind them!
Sam: Woah, Sam Gamgee, your legs are too short, so use your head! (thinking) Nim, nim, nim, nim, nim... the boats!
(after Gandalf opens the door to Moria) Legolas: So all you had to do was say friend... and enter. Gilmi: Those were happier times...
Sam: Straight stairs, winding stairs what comes after that? Gollum: We shall see, oh yes... We shall see.
(Frodo gasps and lunges after the ring after Gandalf has tossed it into the lit fireplace) Gandalf: (restraining Frodo) Wait. Do you desire it so much already? Frodo Baggins: (lying) No, but, but why ruin it? Gandalf: Because it is altogether *evil*. It will corrupt and destroy anyone who wears it, until he passes into the world of shadows under the power of Sauron, the Dark Lord of Mordor. Frodo Baggins: (distraught) Not Bilbo! Gandalf: (pointing) *You* are the one who has the Ring now.
Frodo Baggins: I wish it need not happen in my time. Gandalf: So do I.
(a crow abruptly caws and takes off into the sky) Frodo Baggins: Because of Gollum! Oh, Gandalf... what am I to do? What a pity that Bilbo didn't kill that vile creature when he had the chance. Gandalf: Yes, it was pity. Pity and mercy.
(on what to do with the Ring) Frodo Baggins: (brightly) I'll give it to you, Gandalf! (Gandalf looks horrified) Frodo Baggins: You're wise and powerful! Will you not... Gandalf: (anguished) No! Do not tempt me! I would wish to turn it to good, and it cannot be used so! Meaning to be kind, I would become as terrible as the Dark Lord himself. Do not tempt me! (sighing) Gandalf: I shall have need of such strength so soon.
(Gandalf has caught Sam spying) Sam: Oh, Mr Frodo, sir! Don't let him hurt me, sir! Don't let him turn me into something unnatural!
Pippin: (after gandalf has read the dwarves' book in moria) (panicked) Gandalf, I don't want to stay here! Gandalf: (soothingly) We're going now, Pippin.
