FARAMIR
The Return of the King
Do you not know death when you see it, old man? This is my hour!
WITCH KING
The Return of the King
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 only wish to catch fish so juicy sweet. And we forgot the taste of bread ... the sound of trees ... the softness of the wind. We even forgot our own name. My Precious.
GOLLUM
The Return of the King
We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitses. Wicked, tricksy, false!

I don't want to be in a battle. But waiting on the edge of one I can't escape is even worse.
PIPPIN
The Return of the King
From the ashes, a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadow shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king.

Are all these children yours? Gracious, you have been productive.
BILBO
The Fellowship of the Ring
You cannot think that this Ranger will ever sit upon the throne of Gondor. This exile, crept from the shadows, will never be crowned king. Gandalf does not hesitate to sacrifice those closest to him, those he professes to love. Tell me ... what words of comfort did you give the halfling before you sent him to his doom?
SARUMAN
The Return of the King
I cannot jump the distance, you'll have to toss me ... Don't tell the elf.
