They cursed us. Murderer they called us. they cursed us, and drove us away. And we wept precious, we wept to be so alone. And we forgots the taste of bread, the sound of trees, the softness of the wind. We even forgot our own name. My precious.

Sm?agol
Give us that, D?agol, my love.
D?agol
Why?
Sm?agol
Because it's my birthday...and I wants it.
Smeagol
They knows, they knows! They suspects us!
Gollum What's it saying, my Precious, my love? Is Smeagol losing his nerve?
Smeagol
No! Not! Never! Smeagol hates nasty Hobbitses! Smeagol wants to see them... dead!
Gollum And we will. Smeagol did it once, he can do it again.
Smeagol
It's ours! Ours! [Panicking suddenly] We must get the Precious, we must get it back!
Gollum Patience! patience, my love. First we must lead them to her.
Smeagol
We lead them to the winding stairs.
Gollum Yes, the stairs, and then?
Smeagol
Up, up, up the stairs we go until we come to... the tunnel!
Gollum And when they go in, there's no coming out. She's always hungry, she always needs to feed. She must eat, all She gets is filthy Orcses.
Smeagol
And they doesn't taste very nice, does they, Precious?
Gollum No, not very nice at all, my love. She hungers for sweeter meats. Hobbit meat. And when She throws away the bones and the empty clothes, we will find it!
Smeagol
And take it for meeee!
Gollum For us.
Smeagol
Yes, we, we meant for us.
Gollum The Precious will be ours once the Hobbitses are dead.
Sméagol
[talking in his sleep]
Too risky, too risky.
Gollum [also in his sleep]
The thieves! They stole it from us. Kill them. Kill them. kill them both!
Smeagol
[wakes up, alarmed]
No!
Gollum Shhh! Quiet! Mustn't wake them, mustn't ruin it now!
Sméagol
But they knows, they knows. They suspects us! [walks to the nearby pond. Smeagol looks at his own reflection who is actually Gollum]
Gollum [mockinly]
What's it saying, my Precious, my love? Is Sméagol losing his nerve?
Sméagol
No! Not! Never! Sméagol hates nasty Hobbitses! Smeagol wants to see them...dead.
Gollum And we will. Sméagol did it once, he can do it again. It's ours. Ours!
Sméagol
We must get the Precious. We must get it back!
Gollum Patience! Patience, my love. First we must lead them to her.
Sméagol We lead them to the winding stair.
Gollum Yes, the stairs. And then?
Sméagol
Up, up, up, up, up the stairs we go. Until we come to...the tunnel!
Gollum And when they go in, there's no coming out. She's always hungry, she always needs to feed. She must eat, all she gets filthy Orcses.
Sméagol
And they doesn't taste very nice, does they, Precious?
Gollum No...not very nice at all, my love. She hungers for sweeter meats. Hobbit meat. And when she throws away the bones, and the empty clothes, then we will find it!
Sméagol
[happily]
And take it for me!
Gollum [growls]
For us.
Sméagol
[cowed]
Yes, we...we meant for us.
Gollum [coughing]
Gollum! Gollum! The Precious will be ours...once the Hobbitses are dead! [sees Sam's reflection over his shoulder, having heard everything]
You treacherous little toad! [hits Gollum and begins strangling him]
Gollum [as Sméagol]
No! No! Master!
I heard it from his own mouth! He means to murder us!
Gollum [as Sméagol]
Never! Sméagol wouldn't hurt a fly! [screams] He's a horrid, fat Hobbit, who hates poor Sméagol, and who makes up nasty lies!
You miserable little maggot! I'll stove your head in!! [lunges at Sméagol, but Frodo restrains him] Call me a liar?! You're a liar!
You scare him off, we're lost!
I don't care! I can't do it, Mr. Frodo, I won't wait around for him to kill us!
I'm not sending him away.
You don't see it, do you? He's a villain.
We can't do this by ourselves, Sam. Not without a guide. I need you on my side.
I'm on your side, Mr. Frodo.
I know, Sam. I know. Trust me. Come, Sméagol.
[Smeagol follows Frodo and looks at Sam; Gollum grins evilly at Sam]
[Extended edition only]
Must be getting near teatime. Leastways it would be in decent places where there is still teatime.
Gollum [as Sméagol]
We're not in decent places.
It's just a feeling. I don't think I'll be coming back.
Yes, you will. Of course you will. That's just morbid thinking. We're going there and back again, just like Mr. Bilbo. You'll see.
[The hobbits and Gollum continue walking, passing by an ancient statue of a Gondorian king, vandalized by a boulder bearing Sauron's eye]
These lands once belonged to the Kingdom of Gondor. Long ago, when there was a king.
[The trio pass by the decapitated head of the statue, filled with vines. As the sun shines for a moment, the sunlight magically makes the vines bloom white like flowers] [noticing the flowers bloom]
Mr. Frodo, look! The king's got a crown again.
Gollum [Frodo and Sam smile, comforted for a short while until the sunlight disappears, covered by the thick dark clouds, and the flowers on the king's head disappear] [to the hobbits]
This way, Hobbitses! Follow me!
Gollum [as Sméagol]
Master? Master carries heavy burden. Sméagol knows. Heavy, heavy burden. Fat one cannot know. Sméagol look after Master. [puts his hand on Frodo's head] He wants it. [as Sméagol] He needs it. Sméagol sees it in his eye. Very soon, he will ask you for it. You will see. [as Gollum] The fat one will take it from you.
[Frodo looks at Sam suspiciously]
[While Frodo and Sam are sleeping, Gollum wakes up, takes the Elven bread, sprinkles some onto a sleeping Sam, and throws the bread off the cliff they are on, to frame Sam] [waking up]
What are you up to? Sneaking off, are we?
Gollum [as Sméagol]
Sneaking? [indignant] S-Sneaking?! Fat hobbit is always so polite. Sméagol shows them secret ways that nobody else could find, and they say "sneak"! Sneak?! Very nice friend. Oh, yes, my precious. Very nice, very nice...
All right! All right. You just startled me is all. What were you doing?
Sméagol
[sarcastic]
Sneaking.
Fine. Have it your own way. [wakes Frodo] I'm sorry to wake you, Mr. Frodo. We have to be moving on.
It's dark still.
It's always dark here. [notices the bread is missing] It's gone. The Elvin bread!
What?! That's all we have left!
Gollum [as Sméagol]
Sméagol?! No, no, not poor Sméagol. Sméagol hates nasty Elf bread.
You're a lying rat! What did you do with it?!
He doesn't eat it. He can't have taken it.
Gollum ["notices" the crumbs on Sam's cloak]
Look. What's this? [takes the crumbs off the jacket and gasps] Crumbs on his jacketses! He took it! He took it! I've seen him. He's always stuffing his face when Master's not looking.
That's a filthy lie! [punches Gollum] You stinking, two-faced sneak!
Sam! Stop it! Sam! [pulls Sam away from Gollum] Sam! No!
Oh, my! I'm sorry. I didn't mean it to go so far. I was just so, so angry. Here, let's, let's just rest a bit.
I'm all right.
No. You're not all right. You're exhausted. It's that Gollum. It's this place. It's that thing around your neck! I could help a bit. I could carry it for a while. [the words echo in Frodo's mind] Carry it for a while...I could carry it...I could carry it...Share the load...Share the load...The load...The load...
I don't want to keep it! I just want to help.
Gollum [smiling behind Frodo]
See? See? He wants it for himself.
No, Sam. It's you. I'm sorry, Sam.
You can't help me anymore.
Go home.
[Sam breaks down crying, as Frodo and Gollum leave to continue their climb to Mordor]
Gollum [Extended Edition only] [choking Frodo on Mount Doom]
Mustn't go that way! Mustn't hurt the Precious!
You swore! You swore on the Precious!
Gollum [mockingly]
Oooh...
Sméagol promised!
Gollum [grins]
Sméagol lied.
