View Quote Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day! An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the Age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!

Merry and Pippin:
Oh, you can search far and wide
You can drink the whole town dry
But you'll never find a beer so brown
As the one we drink in our hometown!
You can drink your fancy ales
You can drink 'em by the flagon
But the only brew for the brave and true...
[Pippin trails off as he looks at Gandalf]
Merry: Pippin!
Merry and Pippin: But the only brew for the brave and true...
Comes from the Green Dragon!

A light from the shadow shall spring.

The crownless again shall be king.

Sam: Here.
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. We have to be careful or we're going to run out. You go ahead and eat that, Mr Frodo. I've rationed it. There should be enough.
