Dialogue examples
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.
So... this is the answer to all the riddles. Here in the wild I have you. Two halflings and a host of men at my call. The Ring of power within my grasp.
Simbelmyne. Ever has it grown on the tombs of my forebearers. Now it shall cover the grave of my son. Alas, that these evil days should be mine.
How long is it since Saruman bought you? What was the promised price, Gríma? When all the men are dead you will take your share of the treasure?
I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn. This is Gimli, son of Glóin and Legolas of the Woodland realm. We are friends of Rohan and of Théoden, your king.
Be silent! Keep your forked tongue behind you teeth. I have not passed through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm!
I canet. You were right, Sam. You tried to tell me, bute Iem sorry. The Ringes taking me Sam. If I put it on, heell find me. Heell see.
Stop it! Leave him alone! Donet you understand? Hees got to destroy it. Thates where weere going. Into Mordor. To the mountain of fire.
