“Can you sing, master hobbit?” – Denethor, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King ... Movie Quotes Database

Denethor

Can you sing, master hobbit?

Pippin

Yes- Well... I mean, we sing songs for our own people. We have no songs for great halls or... evil times.

Denethor

Then why should your songs be unfit for my halls? Come sing me a song.

Pippin

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

Aragorn The beacons of Minas Tirith! The beacons are lit! Gondor calls for aid! Theoden And Rohan will answer. Muster the Rohirrim! Éomer Now is the hour! Riders of Rohan - oaths you have taken. Now, fulfill them all - to Lord and land! Elrond You're outnumbered. You need more men. Aragorn There are none. Elrond There are those who dwell inside the mountain. [a fell wind blows through the tent] Aragorn Murderers. Traitors. They answer to no one.
