You should not doubt him.
I do not doubt his heart. Only the reach of his arm.
Why should Merry be left behind? He has much cause to go to war as you do. Why can he not fight for those he loves?
You know as little of war as that Hobbit. When the fear takes him, and the blood, and the screams, and the horrors of battle take hold, do you think he would stand and fight? He would flee. And it would be right to do so. War is the province of Men, Éowyn.

Éowyn... why have you come?
Do you not know?
It is but a shadow and a thought that you love. I cannot give you what you seek. I have wished you joy since first I saw you.
Hold your ground! Hold your ground!
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!
No news of Frodo?
No word. Nothing.
We still have time. Every day Frodo moves closer to Mordor.
Do we know that?
What does your heart tell you?
That Frodo is alive. Yes. Yes, he is alive.
The beacons of Minas Tirith! The beacons are lit! Gondor calls for aid!
And Rohan will answer. Muster the Rohirrim!
No pauses; no spills.
And no regurgitation!
So, it's a drinking game?
Last one standing wins! Heh heh heh!
Here's ta dwarves that go swimming - with little hairy women! Heh heh heh!
I feel something. A slight tingle in my fingers. [Éomer looks at him with mock surprise] I think it's affecting me!
What did I say? He can't hold his liquor!
Game over.
Now is the hour! Riders of Rohan - oaths you have taken. Now, fulfill them all - to Lord and land!
The city has fallen silent. There is no warmth left in the sun. It grows so cold.
It's just the damp of the first spring rain. I do not believe this darkness will endure.
I did what I judged to be right.
What you judged to be right? You've sent the Ring of Power into Mordor! In the hands of a witless Halfling! It should have been brought back to the Citadel to be kept safe. Hidden. Dark and deep beneath the vaults. Not to be used. Unless...At the uttermost end of need.
I would not use the Ring. Not if Minas Tirith were falling in ruin and I alone could save it.
Ever you desire to appear lordly and gracious as a king of old. Boromir would have remembered his father's need. He would have brought me a kingly gift.
Boromir would not have brought the Ring. He would have stretched out his hand to this thing and taken it. He would have fallen.
You know nothing of this matter!
He would have kept it for his own! And when he returned, you would not have known your son.
Boromir was loyal to me! Not some wizard's pupil! [suddenly falls and as Faramir tries to help him, he smiles desperately] My son! [sees the spirit of Boromir, returning then he vanishes, only to see Faramir again; bitterly] Leave me.
[Faramir acquiesces]
Irolas They were outnumbered. None survived.
He's alive! [to Denethor] He needs medicine, my lord!
My line has ended! [he soon catches sight of Sauron's massive army surrounding Minas Tirith and bombarding its lower levels] Rohan has deserted us. [angrily] Theoden's betrayed me. [to the soldiers] ABANDON YOUR POSTS! FLEE! FLEE FOR YOUR LIVES!
Prepare for battle! Follow, Men! To the wall! Defend the wall! Return to your posts! Send these foul beasts to the abyss!
[Under Gandalf's command, the invigorated Gondorian soldiers defend Minas Tirith from Sauron's armies]
You may triumph on the field of battle for a day, but against the power that is risen in the East, there is no victory!
Can you sing, master hobbit?
Yes- Well... I mean, we sing songs for our own people. We have no songs for great halls or... evil times.
Then why should your songs be unfit for my halls? Come sing me a song.
Home is behind, the world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow, to the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight
Mist and shadow, cloud and shade
All shall fade
All shall
Fade
Do you think that the eyes of the White Tower are blind? I have seen more than you know. With your left hand you would use me as a shield against Mordor, and with your right you would seek to supplant me! I know who rides with Th?oden of Rohan. Oh yes, word has reached my ears of this Aragorn son of Arathorn, and I tell you now... I will not bow to this Ranger from the North! Last of a ragged house long bereft of lordship.
Authority is not given to you to deny the return of the King, Steward!
The rule of Gondor is mine! And no other's!
Is there a captain here who still has the courage to do his lord's will?
You wish now that our places had been exchanged - that I had died and Boromir had lived.
Yes. I wish that.
Since you were robbed of Boromir, I will do what I can in his stead. If I should return, think better of me, Father.
That will depend on the manner of your return.
