Mordor. The one place in Middle-earth we don't want to see any closer, and the one place we're trying to get to. It's just where we can't get. Let's face it, Mr. Frodo, we're lost. I don't think Gandalf meant for us to come this way.

They're thieves. They're thieves! They're filthy little thieves! Where is it? Where is it? They ssstole it from us... my precioussss. Curse them! We hates them! It's ours, it is, and we wants it!
They run as if the very whips of their masters were behind them!

Maybe he does deserve to die, but now that I see him... I do pity him.
Look! Look. See what Sm?agol finds? They are young, they are tender, they are fresh! Yes they are! Eat them, eat them!
Th?oden King stands alone.
Rohan, my lord, is ready to fall. [scene cuts to the fords of Isen, full of slain Rohirrim]
Éomer [quietly] Th?odred. [to others] Find the king's son! [the Rohirrim search the bodies]
Rohan soldier Mordor will pay for this!
These orcs are not from Mordor. [kicks over a slain orc, revealing the White hand on its helmet]
Rohan soldier My Lord Éomer, over here!
You could have picked a better spot!
So it begins.
My lord, your son... he is dead. My lord? Uncle? Will you not go to him? Will you do nothing?
