Sam quotes from The Lord of the Rings (1978)

We're going with you, Frodo.

Frodo

With me?! But how do you...? [looks at Sam] Sam?! But you gave your word!

They already knew so much, Mr. Frodo.

Sam didn't tell us about the ring, Frodo. I saw Bilbo use it once, before he went away...to hide from the Sackville-Bagginses. And after that, Pippin and I kept on the lookout and we followed you, and we asked questions everywhere.

And we even wormed a few things out of Gandalf.

Frodo

And you spied on me, and Sam helped you.

And we spied on you.

But we meant no wrong to you, Mr. Frodo! Don't you remember what Mr. Gandalf said? Take someone who you can trust, he said.

Frodo

It doesn't seem that I can trust anyone.

That all depends on what you want. You can trust us to stick to you through thick and thin to the bitter end. But you cannot trust us to let you face trouble alone, and go off without a word. We're your friends, Frodo.

Frodo

Bless you, you deceitful scoundrels!

Aragorn

There is a hill called Weathertop about halfway between here and Rivendell. We will make for it tomorrow. So will Gandalf...if he can.

I still don't know if we can trust him, Mr. Frodo.

Aragorn

I said you have no choice, Sam! [Sam flinches] Because if I wanted the Ring for myself, I could have it, now. [unsheathes his sword and raises it to the air] My name is Aragorn, son of Arathorn. If by life or death I can save you, I will.

This is the Mirror of Galadriel. It shows things that were, and things that are, and things that yet may be. Do you wish to look?

I'd not mind a glimpse of what's going at home. It seems a terrible long time I've been away.

Come then. You shall look and see what you may.

I've got to go home! They've dug up Bagshot Row and thrown my poor old gaffer out in the street! I've got to go home!

The Mirror shows many things, Sam, and not all have yet come to pass. Some never come to be unless those that behold the vision turn aside from their path to prevent them. Do you wish to leave Frodo now and go home?

No.

Frodo

Gandalf! No...No, it must be Saruman. [reaches his hand onto the Mirror]

Do not touch the water! [Frodo pulls his hand back] He's looking for you. But he cannot find you, not here, not yet. The door is closed. [shows her ring Nenya to Frodo, which shimmers a soft light]

Frodo

"Three rings for the Elven kings under the sky."

Yes. We hid those three from him, and he has never touched them. If your quest fails, then nothing can stand against him and we are defenseless. Yet, if you succeed, if the One Ring is destroyed, all we've built with the three will fade. Time will come here, and Lothlórien will fade. You are the footstep of doom to us, Frodo.

Frodo

Lady Galadriel, I will give you the one ring if you ask for it. It's too great a matter for me.

And I came to test your heart. You will give me the Great Ring freely, and in place of the Dark Lord, you will set up a queen! And I shall not be evil, but beautiful and terrible as the morning and the night, stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me under despair! I pass the test. I shall diminish and go into the west and remain Galadriel, and you must depart in the morning.

Frodo

We're there, Sam. Another day, maybe two. When the light comes tomorrow, you'll see how near the mountains are.

Well, it’s a good thing, Mr. Frodo, because we're running awful low on food. I reckon we got enough left to see us to this Mount Doom, after that, I don't know.

Frodo

Oh, Sam. Samwise Gamgee, my dearest hobbit, friend of friends. After that? If the ring goes into the fire and we’re at hand? After that, dear Sam? I wouldn't worry. Just to get there. Just to get there. Oh, the ring is so heavy now, Sam.
