![]() Elijah Wood Quotation[on celebrity:] "I won't change and my perspective won't change. I want to continue my life the way I live it, and I'm not going to let anything stop me from doing that. It isn't all about acting. There's a lot more to life than Hollywood." [on worrying about the high expectations of Lord of the Rings fans when he was cast as Frodo:] "I definitely felt the pressure. I wanted to live up to all of the expectations. But when I got into costume and worked with the others, I just didn't think about it anymore. "If I wasn't an actor, I'd be a secret agent." "I think being different, being against the grain of society, is the greatest thing in the world." [on concluding filming of LOTR:] "Frodo will look more haggard, but not as bad as Gollum. There is a massive transformation, but the journey should have a physical effect on him, which makes sense as I look a lot older than when I started filming. I was 18 then, and it's appropriate that he looks older too. And if I've done my job right, then you should empathize with him. When it came to the end, I was very emotional. I was heaving, I couldn't breathe, and the last bits of the movie really wrecked me. They gave each actor his own farewell, when we were back there earlier this year. You'd go on to a sound stage and Peter would make a speech about each actor and then bring in their sword and a clapperboard. It was completely overwhelming. When it came time for me to give a speech, I was so gone I just couldn't do it. I now have the ears, the feet, the sword, the Ring, and one of the maps of Middle-Earth. The whole thing has had a massive impact on us. I think Bill and Dom and I are thinking about buying a house here [in New Zealand], because we don't want to lose our connection with the country. It makes most sense to go in on a place because we could use it like a timeshare and then holiday at different times or together. But we're so lazy and completely hopeless at doing things, so it remains to be seen if it'll ever happen." [December 11, 2003] [after the last press junket for LOTR in New York:] "There's a real sense of completion now, because we can look at the entirety of the trilogy and say we've done it, our work is finished. That's a great feeling. And I think that, as it comes to a close, we look to the relationships forged in New Zealand and throughout the experience, and they will carry on. The fellowship will carry on. And that gives us great hope. Our lives will interweave forever." [December 18, 2003] [on filming the scene in _Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The (2003)_ in which Sam tries to make Frodo recall the Shire:] "That day was very difficult and it was a long day. I remember Peter [ Peter Jackson] actually crying on set after a few takes. It was a real defining moment for Sean [ Sean Astin] and I, not only in this film, but in our acting." [December 14, 2003] [on New Zealand:] "I will go back ... I think Bill ( Billy Boyd) and Dom ( Dominic Monaghan) and I are thinking of buying a house together. We don't want to lose our connection with New Zealand - I love the country and I love Wellington and I want to go back. I would love to have a place to live there if I do go back for any period of time. It would just be a time share. It makes the most sense for us to go in on a place, 'cause then we can get a great place. We could be there together and have holidays there, or if I wanted to go there and live there for a little while I could. It just kind of makes sense. Then we could rent it out when we aren't there. That's the idea, anyway." (On hearing this, Billy Boyd said, "Elijah said that, huh? He put a curse on it.") [December 12, 2003] Movie Title: Oliver Twist (1997) as The Artful Dodger: Oliver : And you Dodger, you're my friend. The Artful Dodger : Huh! A friend's just an enemy in disguse. You can't trust nobody. Movie Title: The Faculty (1998) as Casey: Coach Willis : You're not much into sports. Casey : I don't think that a person should run unless he's being chased. Coach Willis : "Being chased." I like that. Casey : Everyone's been acting really weird, especially the faculty. Stokely : Tell me about it, it's like they've all turned into fucking pod people or something. Casey : Into what people? Stokely : Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Small town gets taken over by aliens... That was a joke. Casey : You're not buying this, are you? Stokely : No, I'm not... but it's kinda cool. Casey : God, you can be such a... Delilah : What? Casey : Pretty cool human being when you're not being a first class grade A bitch. Delilah : Are you hitting on me Casey? Casey : No. No, I just think that you can be cool. Sometimes. This not being one of them. Zeke : What are we going to do? Stan : I could call my dad, he'd know what to do. Casey : If he's really your dad. Stokely : Body snatchers is a story somebody made up, dingus. It's located in the fiction section of the library. Casey : Yeah, so is Schindler's List. Stokely : So they've just been setting us up over the years with their E.T.'s and their Men In Black movies, just so no one would believe it if it ever happened. Casey : I think so. Casey : It must really blow being you. Stan : You have no idea. Marybeth : You know in my world Casey there were limitless oceans as far as the eye could see. Beautiful huh? Till it started to dry out. So I escaped, came here, and I met you, all of you, and all of you were different from the others. You were lost and lonely, just like me. And I thought that maybe I could give you a taste of my world. A world without anger, without fear, without attitude. Where the underachiever goes home at night to parents that care. The jock can be smart, the ugly duckling beautiful, and the class wuss doesn't have to live in terror. The new girl - well - the new girl she can just fit right in with anybody. People who are just like her. You see Casey, even Mary-Beth's feelings can be hurt by a bunch of pathetic, lost, little outcasts who truly believe that their disaffected lonely life is the only way they can survive. I can make you a part of something so special Casey, so perfect, so fearless... Don't you want that, Casey? Casey : I'd rather be afraid! Marybeth : Fine. Have it your way! 'Cause this is where your land of fiction is always right: we win. End of story! Zeke : Stan, take it. Stan : No way, you're takin' it! Casey : [Laughing and obviously high] You're takin' it! [Stan picks up gun and points it at Casey] Stan : What the hell is wrong with him? Zeke : He's tweaking you asshole! Let him fucking tweak! Casey : Tweak! Tweak! Casey : If you were going to take over the world, would you blow up the White House 'Independence Day' style, or sneak in through the back door? Zeke : Here take this. Casey : Now Marybeth. Zeke : Sniff it. Casey : You're out of your fucking mind! Zeke : I'm about to take my chances. I leave for five minutes, and when I come back everyone's a fucking alien. Now, If I have to Men In Black your ass, you're gonna fucking take it! [Casey sniffs it hasefuly] Casey : Happy now? Casey : I say we go for the coach. He turned Stan. He's the one. Or do you want to wait for them to come to us? Marybeth : Either way we're completely unarmed. Zeke : Maybe not. I might have some more skat. In my trunk. Casey : In your trunk? In your car? Amongst the aliens? Oh, that's convenient. Zeke : (Holds up his car keys) You got a better idea? Delilah : Hello Casey. Where ya gonna go, huh? The class wuss... eternal little loser who comes to school everyday knowing this is it. You've been labeled 'pathetic' since first grade and you're afraid it's going to bleed over for the rest of your life. Well we can stop it Casey. We can help you belong. Isn't that what you really want? Casey : Please don't do this Delilah. Delilah : I haven't been this happy since... since... before my dad died. I know you want me Casey. Come on. Let's do it together. Delilah : Your fanclub is here. Casey : Network or local? Delilah : Both. Gabe : Hey yo, pisswad, you're in my way. Casey : I'm sorry. I was breathing here. Gabe : Yeah, that's the problem, you're occupying my air, anal probe. Zeke : You both take the drug. Casey : Ohh... showdown! Movie Title: The Adventures of Huck Finn (1993) as Huck Finn: Huck Finn : So kick off yer shoes, if yer wearin' em', and git ready for a spit-lickin' good time! Huck Finn : Ah, Hells Bells, Jim, I almost puked up my livers! Huck Finn : And she got to talking about this, and about that, and blah-di, blah-di, blah until I wanted to wring her scrawny little neck! But by and by, she got to talkin' about the murder. Huck Finn : [Narrating] They were real nice, once they decided not to kill me. Movie Title: Chain of Fools (2000) as Mikey / Mickey: Mickey : Who are you? Hitman : I'm the Hitman, who are you? Mickey : I'm the hitman. Mikey : Excuse me, is this chair being used? Snotty Man : Does it look like it's being used? Mikey : "Does it look like it's being used?" That's a good one. [Mikey picks up the chair and smashes the man with it] Mikey : Now it's being used. Mikey : You wanna go see a show? We should go see "Cats"...that's a good show! Movie Title: The War (1994) as Stu: Stu : For what? To get our hopes up? To promise us we was gunna have a big house with a tire swing, vanity, and a picket fence, and then just leave, again? What the hell kinda loused up angel is that? Lois : Don't you know nothing would have kept him from you. He's just gone home. Stu : We're his home ma. The stupid lord can have him later. Why? Why does he have to take evrything, bad enough our home and all our things. Why'd he have take my daddy? What did I do so wrong that he had to take my daddy? Lois : Oh no honey. Stu : He could've taken anyone Charles Manson super old people that already been rotten a hundred years. My daddy was only 34 years old.(looking up) I needed him more than you God, I needed him more. Stephen : You otta call um the Limpkickies. Stu : I like the Limpdickies. Lidia : What are you thinking? Stu : If dad's watching... he can go now. Lidia : He is watching. Stu : Hey, why don't you leave him alone? Pick on somebody your own size. What's the matter, you guys afraid of a fair fight, one on one? Leo Lipnicki : Maybe you git a point. Ebb... Marsh : Stu... Stu... don't get yourself killed Stu. Amber : You guys wanted that up there, then why didn't ya ask me? Stu : Put that thing up there. Amber : That the way you ask me? Ain't you not heard the word please? Stu : Please? Amber : Move outta my way, lightweight. Stephen : Lidia hit him in the face with a rock? I think I'm gonna have to have a talk with that girl. Is she doing anything else I should know about? Stu : Well yeah. She's doing a lot of things. But I don't think you should know about them. Stu : What the hell. Dad. He's hitting our car. Stephen : I see that. Stu : I hope you know them's the kids who just beat me up. Stephen : I know who they are son. Stu : Then why'd you give them Ma and Lidia's cotton candy? Stephen : Because they look like that hadn't been given anything in a long time. Stu : My daddy says that people can do anything they want to as long as they believe they can. Please, God, let him live. You took my dad, don't take Billy. He's just a little kid. [to Billy] Stu : You gotta wake up now, you gotta live. You gotta! Movie Title: Black and White (1999) as Wren: Wren : When you're an adult, you have to kind of know who you are. Movie Title: The Ice Storm (1997) as Mikey Carver: Mikey Carver : Because of molecules we are connected to the outside world from our bodies. Like when you smell things, because when you smell a smell it's not really a smell, it's a part of the object that has come off of it, molecules. So when you smell something bad, it's like in a way you're eating it. This is why you should not really smell things, in the same way that you don't eat everything in the world around you because as a smell, it gets inside of you. So the next time you go into the bathroom after someone else has been there, remember what kinds of molecules you are in fact eating. [Mikey rides up behind Wendy] Mikey Carver : I never want to see you again Wendy Hood : Then why did you follow me? [Mikey stops, turns his bike around and rides off] [Stopping by his son's room, momentarily putting down his luggage] Jim Carver : Hey guys, I'm back! Mikey Carver : You were gone? Movie Title: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) as Patrick: Patrick : You know that girl we did last week? The one with the potatoes. Stan : That girl? Yeah, that's this guy's girl. Patrick : Yeah. Stan : Right... Was. Took care of that. Patrick : Well uh, I kind of fell in love with her that night. Stan : What? You little fuck! Patrick : What? Stan : She was unconscious, man. Patrick : Well, she was beautiful and... I stole a pair of her panties as well. Stan : Jesus! Patrick : What? It's not like - I mean they were clean and all. Stan : Don't tell me this stuff! I don't wanna hear this shit! Patrick : Mary hates me. I've never been popular with the ladies. Stan : Maybe if you stopped stealing their panties. [Patrick knocks on Joel's car window while parked in front of Clem's apartment] Joel : Yes? Patrick : Can I help you? Joel : What do you mean? Patrick : Can I help you with something? Joel : No. Patrick : What are you doing here? Joel : I'm not really sure what you're asking. Patrick : Oh, thanks... Movie Title: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) as Frodo: Galadriel : The power of the Three Rings is ended. The time has come... for the dominion of Men. Elrond : I Aear cân ven na mar. [Elvish: The Sea calls us home] Bilbo : I think I'm... quite ready for another adventure. [Climbs on board with Elrond. Galadriel gets on boat with Celeborn] Gandalf : Farewell... my brave Hobbits. My work is now finished. Here at last, on the shores of the sea... comes the end of our Fellowship. I'll not say, "Do not weep"... not all tears are an evil. [Heads to the ship, then turns around, waiting] Gandalf : It is time, Frodo. Sam : What does he mean? Frodo : We set out to save the Shire, Sam. And it has been saved. But not for me. Sam : You don't mean that. You can't leave. Sam : [Both are overcome by exhaustion] Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon. And the orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields... and eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries? 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... 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... once and for all. Come on, Mr. Frodo. I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you. Sam : "There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Tale by Bilbo Baggins, and The Lord of the Rings by Frodo Baggins." You finished it Frodo : Not quite. There's room for a little more. 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 : [after destroying the Ring] I can see the Shire. The Brandywine River. Bag End. The Lights in the Party Tree. Sam : Rosie Cotton dancing. She had ribbons in her hair. If ever I were to marry someone, it would have been her. It would have been her. [sits down and begins to cry] Frodo : [leans over and hugs him] I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things. Frodo : I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee... here, at the end of all things. Frodo : The Ring is mine. Frodo : We set out to save the Shire, Sam and it has been saved - but not for me. [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 will be a return journey, Mr. Frodo. Frodo : [hands Sam the book] The last pages are for you, Sam. 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 that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep... that have taken hold. Frodo : My dear Sam: You cannot always be torn in two. You will have to be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be and to do. Your part in the story will go on. [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. [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. 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, uncle... I'm afraid I lost it. Bilbo : Oh... pity. I should have liked to have held it one last time. 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 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 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. 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. Frodo : It's sticky, what is it? Movie Title: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) as Frodo / Frodo Baggins: Aragorn : Are you frightened? Frodo : Yes. Aragorn : Not nearly frightened enough. I know what hunts you. Frodo : What do you want? Aragorn : A little more caution from you, that is no trinket you carry. Frodo : I carry nothing. Aragorn : Indeed. I can avoid being seen if I wish, but to disappear entirely, that is a rare gift. Frodo : No one knows it's here. Do they? Do they, Gandalf? Galadriel : I know what it is you saw, for it is also in my mind. [telepathically] Galadriel : It is what will come to pass, If you should fail. The Fellowship is breaking, it has already begun. He will try to take the Ring, you know of whom I speak. One by one, it will destroy them. Frodo : [telepathically] If you ask it of me, I will give you the One Ring. Galadriel : You offer it to me freely? I do not deny that my heart has greatly desired this. [Starts to grow dark] Galadriel : In the place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Morn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair! [she stops] Galadriel : I have passed the test. I will deminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel. Frodo : I cannot do this alone. Galadriel : You are a Ring-bearer, Frodo. To bear a Ring of Power is to be alone. [pulls out her hand] Galadriel : This is Nenya, the Ring of Adament. And I am it's keeper. This task was appointed to you, and if you do not find a way, no one will. Frodo : I know what I must do, it's just that... I'm afraid to do it. Galadriel : Even the smallest person can change the course of the future. Frodo : Go back, Sam. I'm going to Mordor alone. Sam : Of course you are. And I'm coming with you. 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. Frodo : You're late. Gandalf : A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to. Frodo : I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf : 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, Frodo, than 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. Gandalf : For sixty years, the Ring lay quiet in Bilbo's keeping, prolonging his life, delaying old age. But no longer, Frodo. Evil is stirring in Mordor. The Ring has awoken. It's heard its Master's call. Frodo : But he was destroyed. Sauron was destroyed. Gandalf : No, Frodo. The spirit of Sauron endured. His life force is bound to the Ring and the Ring survived. Sauron has returned. His Orcs have multiplied. His fortress of Barad-Dur is rebuilt in the land of Mordor. Sauron needs only this Ring to cover all the lands with a second darkness. He is seeking it, seeking it, all his thought is bent on it. The Ring yearns to go home, to return to the hand of its Master. They are one, the Ring and the Dark Lord. Frodo, he must never find it. Frodo : We're friends of Gandalf the Grey, can you tell him we've arrived? Barliman Butterbur : Gandalf... Gandalf... Oh, yeah, I remember elderly chap, big gray beard, point hat. Not seen him for six months. Sam : This is it. Frodo : This is what? Sam : If I take one more step, it'll be the farthest away from home I've ever been. Frodo : Come on, Sam. Remember what Bilbo used to say: "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to." Frodo : I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. Gandalf : 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 were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought. Frodo : I know what you would say, and it would seem like wisdom, but for the warning in my heart. [Frodo wanders in the woods. Boromir comes up behind him] Boromir : None of us should wander alone, you least of all. Frodo? I know you suffer, I see it day by day. Are you sure you do not suffer needlessly? There are other ways Frodo, other paths we might take. Frodo : I know what you would say, and it would seem like wisdom, but for the warning in my heart. Boromir : Warning? Against what? We are all afraid Frodo. But to let that fear drive us to hide away... don't you see? It is madness. Frodo : There is no other way. Boromir : [moving towards Frodo] If you could but lend me the Ring... Frodo : No! Boromir : Why do you recoil? I am no theif. Frodo : You are not yourself. Frodo : What news of the outside world? Tell me everything. Gandalf : Everything? You are far too eager and curious for a hobbit. Most unnatural. Frodo : Before you came along, we Bagginses were very well thought of. Gandalf : Indeed? Frodo : Never had any adventures or did anything unexpected. Gandalf : If you're referring to the incident with the Dragon, I was barely involved. All I did was give your uncle a little nudge out of the door. Frodo : Whatever you did, you've been officially labeled a disturber of the peace. Frodo : Where are you taking us? Aragorn : Into the wild. Frodo : If you ask it of me, I will give you the One Ring. Galadriel : You offer it to me freely? I do not deny that my heart has greatly desired this. In place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen. Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Morning. Treacherous as the Sea. Stronger than the foundations of the earth. All shall love me and despair. [she stops] Galadriel : I pass the test. I will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Galadriel. Aragorn : I swore to protect you. Frodo : Can you protect me from yourself? [holding out the Ring] Frodo : Would you destroy it? Aragorn : [closing Frodo's hand around the Ring] I would have gone with you to the end, into the very fires of Mordor. [Holding the Ring out to Frodo] Gandalf : Hold out your hand, Frodo. Its quite cool I assure you. [Drops the Ring into Frodo's palm] Gandalf : What do you see? Frodo : Nothing. Wait. There are markings. Its some form of Elvish, I can't read it. Gandalf : There are few who can. The language is the that of Mordor, which I will not utter here. Frodo : Mordor. Gandalf : In the common tongue it reads "One Ring to Rule Them All. One Ring to Find Them. One Ring to Bring Them All and In The Darkness Bind Them." [While the Men, Elves, Dwarves and Wizards argue about who is to be Ringbearer, ignoring Frodo] Frodo : I will take it. I will take the Ring to Mordor... [Everyone falls silent] Frodo : ...though I do not know the way. Frodo : I know what I must do. It's just... I'm afraid to do it. [Outside the gates of Moria] Frodo : It's a riddle. What's the Elvish word for friend? Gandalf : Mellon. [The gates open] Frodo : Come on Sam... Remember what Bilbo used to say: It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to... [last line] Frodo : Sam, I'm glad you're with me. Gandalf : Let the ring-bearer decide. Frodo : We will go through the mines of Moria. Gandalf : So be it. [after Gandalf tells Frodo about Gollum] Frodo : Shire? Baggins? But that would lead them here. [Cuts to a Ringwraith cutting off a Hobbit's head] Frodo : Here. Gandalf : No. Frodo : Gandalf you must take it. Gandalf : You cannot offer me this ring. Frodo : I'm giving it to you. Gandalf : Don't tempt me Frodo. Understand that I would use this Ring from a desire to do good. But through me... it would wield a power too great and terrible to imagine. Frodo : Mordor, Gandalf, is it left or right? Gandalf : Left. [about the Wood-elves they see in the woods] Frodo : They're going to the harbor beyond the White Towers. To the Grey Havens. Sam : They're leaving Middle-earth. Frodo : Never to return. Sam : I don't know why - it makes me sad. [Frodo awakens to hear Aragorn singing in the dark] Frodo : Who is she? This woman you sing of? Aragorn : 'Tis the Lay of Lúthien. The Elf-maiden who gave her love to Beren, a mortal. Frodo : What happened to her? Aragorn : She died. [He sighs. His face bears a hint of tears. He turns back to Frodo] Aragorn : Get some sleep, Frodo. Gandalf : There is one other who knew Bilbo had the Ring. I looked everywhere for the creature Gollum, but the enemy found him first. I don't know how long they tourted him, but through the endless screams and inane babble, they discerned two words. Gollum : SHIRE! BAGGINS! Frodo Baggins : Shire? Baggins? But that would lead them here! Movie Title: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) as Frodo: Frodo : I am Frodo Baggins, and this is Samwise Gamgee. Faramir : Your bodyguard? Sam : His gardener. Frodo : I can't do this Sam. Sam : I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. 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 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. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. Frodo : What are we holding on to Sam? Sam : That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for. Gollum : So bright... so beautiful... my precious. Frodo : What did you say? Gollum : Master should be resting, Master needs to keep up his strength. Frodo : [standing up] Who are you? Gollum : Mustn't ask us. Mustn't answer. Frodo : Gandalf told me you were one of the River-folk. Gollum : Cold be heart and hand and bone. Cold be travelers far from home. Frodo : [next to Gollum] He said your life was a sad story. Gollum : They do not see what lies ahead, when Sun has failed and Moon is dead. Frodo : [in front of Gollum] You were not so very different from a Hobbit once, were you? [Gollum looks up at him] Frodo : Smeagol. Gollum : What did you call me? Frodo : That was your name once, wasn't it? Gollum : My name? My name... Smeagol. [Referring to Gollum] Frodo : I want to help him, Sam. Sam : Why? Frodo : Because I have to believe he can come back. Sam : You can't save him, Mr. Frodo. Frodo : [suddenly angry] What do you know about it? Nothing! [remorseful] Frodo : I'm sorry, Sam. I don't know why I said that. Sam : I do. It's the ring. You can't take your eyes off it, I've seen you. You're not eating. You barely sleep. It's taken a hold of you, Mr. Frodo. You have to fight it. Frodo : I know what I have to do, Sam. The ring was entrusted to me. It's my task, mine, my own! [storms off] Sam : Can't you hear yourself? Don't you know who you sound like? Sam : Hey Stinker don't go gettin' too far ahead. Frodo : Why do you do that? Sam : What? Frodo : Call him names. Run him down all the time. Sam : Because... because that's what he is Mr. Frodo. There's naught left in him but lies and deceit. It's the ring he wants. That's all he cares about. Frodo : You have no idea what it did to him... what it's still doing to him. I want to help him Sam. [following Gollum, walking down the path] Sam : I wonder if we'll ever be put into songs or tales. Frodo : [turns around] What? Sam : I wonder if people will ever say, 'let's hear about Frodo and the Ring.' And they'll say 'yes, that's one of my favorite stories. Frodo was really courageous, wasn't he, Dad?' 'Yes, my boy, the most famousest of hobbits. And that's saying a lot.' Frodo : [continue walking] You left out one of the chief characters - Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam. [Frodo stops and turns to Sam] Frodo : Frodo wouldn't got far without Sam. Sam : Now Mr. Frodo, you shouldn't make fun; I was being serious. Frodo : So was I. [they continue to walk] Sam : Samwise the Brave... Frodo : There is no promise you can make that I can trust. Sam : Mr. Frodo, put the ring on; just this once, disappear. Frodo : I can't... you were right Sam, it has taken over me. If I put it on he will find me. Sam : It's the Ring... Frodo : It's getting heavier. Sam : This place looks strangely familiar. Frodo : That's because we've been here before, we're going in circles. Frodo : Maybe he deserves to die, but now that I see him I do pity him. Frodo : Stop! This creature is bound to me and I to him. He is our guide. Frodo : I can't do this Sam. Sam : I know, by right we shouldn't even be here. Frodo : [bewitched] They're here, they've come. Frodo : You were not so different from a hobbit once. Frodo : You were not very different from a hobbit once, were you? Smeagol... Gollum : What did you call me? Frodo : That was your name once, wasn't it? A long time ago. Gollum : My name... My name... Smeagol. Sam : You know I don't usually hold with foreign food, but this Elvish stuff - it's not bad. Frodo : Nothing dampens your spirits Sam. Sam : [looks at the nearing rain clouds] Those rain clouds might. Frodo : [waking up from a nightmare] Gandalf! Sam : Mr. Frodo, what the matter? Frodo : Nothing... just a dream. Frodo : The Ring will not save Gondor. It only has the power to destroy. You must release me. Frodo : Gandalf told me your life was a sad story, Smeagol. Gollum : What did you call me? Frodo : That was your name once. Gollum : My name... Smeagol. Sam : We're innocent travelers. Faramir : There are no travelers in this land... only servants of the Dark Lord. Frodo : We are bound to an errand of secrecy. Those who claim to oppose the enemy would do well not to hinder us. Movie Title: The Good Son (1993) as Mark: Mark : I could kill you now... Henry : Go ahead, jam it in. Got to push pretty hard though. The blood'll go right across the room. Henry : I feel sorry for you, Mark. You just don't know how to have fun. Mark : What? Henry : It's because you're scared all the time. I know. I used to be scared too. But that was before I found out. Mark : Found out what? Henry : That once you realize that you can do anything... you're free. You can fly. Nobody can touch you... nobody. Mark... don't be afraid to fly. Mark : You're sick... Henry : Hey, I promise you something amazing, something you'll never forget. Where's the gratitude? Mark : What if there was this boy... and he did these terrible things because he liked doing them... would you say he was evil? Alice : I don't believe in evil. Mark : You should... Henry : You better stop telling lies about me, because no one's going to believe you. Mark : Sooner or later they're going to find out about you. Henry : Who's they? My dad? My mom? Mark : I told your mom. Henry : Why would she believe you? She's my mom, not yours. Mark : You know, you're wrong about that. She is my mother. Henry : Your mom? You crazy? Your mom's maggot food. Mark : My mom said she'd always be with me. She chose your mom as a way of coming back, but I guess it would be hard for you to understand that, but it's true. She's my mother now. Henry : Hey, Mark... don't fuck with me. Mark : Henry said he hated her. Susan : What are you saying? Mark : I told you... I'm telling you... Connie didn't just slip... you don't know what he is... Henry tried to kill Connie and he can do it again. Susan : [slaps him] Stop it, that's a lie! Henry is my son. He's my little boy and I love him. Don't ever come to me with these lies again. Henry : Dad, dad! Help me! Wallace: Mark! What the hell do you think you were doing? Answer me, God damn it! Henry : Don't be mad at Mark, he's just not himself. Wallace: This is serious, Mark. You could have hurt him. Mark : He's the one who wants to hurt people! Henry : Mark, I'm sorry you don't want to be friends. Mark : Do you know what you did? Henry : Hey, come on. We did it together. Mark : You could've killed people... Henry : ...with your help... Henry : Go ahead... eat... drink... don't let me stop you. Mark : What did you do? Henry : Do? Me? Oh... I get it. You think I put something in my family's food... you think that I... Mark, come on... do you really think I'd do a thing like that? Henry : Such a sweet little thing... do you really think I'd hurt her? Mark : Yes... Henry : What are you going to do? Watch her all night? Mark : Henry is gone... and the rest of us are safe... but sometimes... late at night... I find myself thinking... not about Henry, but about Susan and wondering. If she had it to do over, would she make the same choice? I guess I'll always wonder... but I know I''ll never ask. Mark : Ah! Hey, no fair! Henry : No fair? What do you think this is, a game? Henry : Oh wait, I just remembered... she's not my mom anymore, she's yours. Isn't that what you said? She's your mother now. Mark : Yeah... Henry : Your mom, my mom... what the hell? We'll both miss her. Mark : I'll kill you first... Henry : Poor Mark... so violent... so disturbed. If you don't watch out, they're gonna lock you up.

The biggest boy this big state's ever seen. Why he could eat more in one day than anyone else could eat in a whole month. Ma Tex : That's why Buck hated February. North : Where the hell are my parents? Winchell : North, did you say the word 'hell'? My, the summer's really broadened you.
