Dialogue
Frodo: I will take the Ring to Mordor. Though... I do not know the way.
Gandalf: I will help you bear this burden, Frodo Baggins, as long as it is yours to bear.
Aragorn: If, by my life or death, I can protect you, I will. You have my sword.
Legolas: And you have my bow.
Gimli: And my axe.
Boromir: You carry the fates of us all, little one. If this is indeed the will of the Council, then Gondor will see it done.
[Sam appears from behind some bushes.]
Sam: Here! And Mr. Frodo's not going anywhere without me!
Elrond: No, indeed! It is hardly possible to separate you, even when he is summoned to a secret Council and you are not.
[Merry and Pippin run into the Council meeting]
Merry: Oi! We're coming too! You'll have to send us home tied up in a sack to stop us!
Pippin: Anyway, you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission. Quest. Thing.
Merry: Well that rules you out, Pip.
Elrond: Nine companions... So be it. You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring.
Pippin: Great. Where are we going?
Frodo: It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill [Gollum] when he had the chance.
Gandalf: Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death, and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.
Frodo: I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times; but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.
