Character name: Frodo Baggins
Quote(s): I have to destroy it, Smeagol. I have to destroy it for both our sakes.
Fellowship of the Ring
Frodo: You're late!
Gandalf: A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.
Frodo: Bilbo? Bilbo, watch out for the dragon!
Bilbo: Dragon? Nonsense! There hasn’t been a dragon in these parts for a thousand years…
Frodo: Don't worry, Sam. Rosie knows an idiot when she sees one.
Sam: [doubtfully] Does she?
Frodo: Wait. There are markings. It's some form of Elvish. I can’t read it.
Frodo: What must I do?
Frodo: Sam! Wood-Elves! They're going to the harbour beyond the White Towers. To the Grey Havens
Sam: They're leaving Middle-earth.
Frodo: Never to return.
Frodo: I have to leave the Shire. Sam and I must get to Bree.
Frodo: What do you want?
Strider: A little more caution from you. That is no trinket you carry.
Merry: [to Frodo] How do we know this Strider is a friend of Gandalf?
Frodo: I think a servant of the Enemy would look fairer and feel fouler.
Frodo: I miss the Shire. I spent all my childhood pretending I was off somewhere else … off with you on one of your adventures! My own adventure turned out to be quite different. I'm not like you, Bilbo.
Elrond: And yet to have come so far, still bearing the Ring, the hobbit has shown extraordinary resilience to its evil.
Gandalf: It is a burden he should never have had to bear. We can ask no more of Frodo.
Frodo: I will take the Ring to Mordor. Though-- I do not know the way.
Frodo: Mordor, Gandalf, is it left or right?
Frodo: It’s a riddle. Speak "friend" and enter. What’s the Elvish word for friend?
Frodo: It’s a pity Bilbo didn’t kill him 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?
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.
Frodo: Gandaaaaalf! Nooooooooooooooo!!!
Frodo: If you ask it of me, I will give you the One Ring.
Galadriel: You are a Ring bearer, Frodo. To bear a Ring of power is to be alone.
FrodoThen I know what I must do. It's just… I'm afraid to do it.
Galadriel: Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.
Frodo: You can't help me, Sam... Not this time... Get some sleep.
Boromir: I know why you seek solitude. You suffer; I see it day by day. You sure you do not suffer needlessly? There are other ways, Frodo, other paths that we might take.
Frodo: I know what you would say. And it would seem like wisdom but for the warning in my heart.
Frodo: Go back, Sam! I’m going to Mordor alone.
Sam: Of course you are, and I’m coming with you!
Frodo: Mordor. I hope the others find a safer route.
Sam: Strider will look after them.
Frodo: I don’t suppose we’ll ever see them again.
Sam: We may yet, Mr. Frodo. We may.
The Two Towers
Sam: 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.
Frodo: He didn't mean for a lot of things to happen, Sam... but they did.
Frodo: Roast chicken?
Frodo: Nothing ever dampens your spirits, does it Sam?
Frodo: This is Sting. You've seen it before, haven't you... Gollum! Release him or I'll cut your throat!
Frodo: You were not so very different from a hobbit once, were you... Sméagol?
Frodo: You have no idea what it did to him. What it's still doing to him. I want to help him, Sam...
Sam: Why?
Frodo: Because I have to believe he can come back.
Frodo: I know what I have to do Sam. The Ring was entrusted to me! It's my task! Mine! My own!
Frodo: Wait! [Faramir stops] This creature is bound to me. And I to him. He is our guide. Please, let me go down to him.
Frodo: The Ring will not save Gondor. It has only the power to destroy. Please, let me go.
Frodo: [in possessed voice] They're here. They've come.
Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.
Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?
Sam: There's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for.
Frodo: Frodo wouldn't have got far without Sam.
Sam: Now Mr. Frodo, you shouldn't make fun. I was being serious.
Frodo: So was I.
Return of the King
Gollum: Wake up. Wake up. Wake up, sleepies. We must go, yeeees, we must go at once.
Sam: Haven't you had any sleep, Mr. Frodo?"
[Frodo shakes his head]
Sam: "I've gone and had too much... it must be getting late.
Frodo: No, it's not. It's not midday, yet. The days are growing darker.
Gollum: We must go.
Sam: Not until Mr. Frodo has had something to eat.
Gollum: No time to lose, silly.
Sam: [Gives Frodo lembas bread] Here, eat this.
Frodo: What about you?
Sam: I'm not hungry. Leastways, not for lembas bread.
Frodo: Sam...
Sam: Alright... we don't have that much left. You go ahead and eat that, Mr. Frodo. I've rationed it... there should be enough left.
Frodo: For what?
Sam: The journey home.
Aragorn: No news of Frodo?
Gandalf: No word. Nothing.
Aragorn: We have time. Every day Frodo movies closer to Mordor.
Gandalf: Do we know that?
Aragorn: What does your heart tell you?
Gandalf: That Frodo is alive. Yes... Yes, he is alive.
Frodo: We scare him off, we're lost!
Sam: I don't care! I can't do it, Mr. Frodo! I won't wait around for him to kill us!
Frodo: I'm not sending him away!
Sam: You don't see it, do you? He's a villain.
Frodo: We can't do this by ourselves, Sam. Not without a guide. I need you on my side.
Sam: I'm on your side, Mr. Frodo.
Frodo: I know, Sam. I know. Trust me.
Sam: No! Mr. Frodo!
Gollum: Not that way!!!
Frodo staggers forward.
Gollum: What's it doing?!
Sam grabs Frodo's cloak.
Frodo: No! They're calling me...
Frodo: I can feel his blade!
Sam: It's that Gollum, it's this place, it's that thing around your neck. I could help a bit, I could carry it, share the load.
Frodo: Get away!
Sam: I don't want to keep it. I just want to help.
Frodo: You can't help me anymore.
Sam: You can't mean that.
Frodo: Go home.
Frodo: What is this place?
Gollum: Master must go inside the tunnel.
Frodo: Now that I'm here, I don't think I want to.
Gollum: It's the only way! Go in...or go back.
Frodo: I cannot go back.
Frodo: I have to destroy it, Smeagol, for both our sakes.
Galadriel: And for you, Frodo Baggins, I give you the light of Eärendil our most beloved star. May it be a light to you in dark places when all other lights go out.
Frodo: Aiya Eärendil Elenion Ancalima!
Frodo: I'm so sorry, Sam... So sorry...
Galadrial: This task was appointed to you, Frodo of the Shire. If you do not find a way, no one will.
Sam: That's for Frodo. That's for the Shire. And that's for my old Gaffer.
Frodo: It's too late... It's over... They've taken it! Sam! They took the ring!
Sam: Begging your pardon, but they haven't. I thought I'd lost you... So I took it. Only for safe-keeping.
Frodo: Give it to me... Give me the ring, Sam. Sam!! Give me the ring! You must understand... the ring is my burden. It will destroy you, Sam.
Pippin: Is there any hope, Gandalf, for Frodo and Sam?
Gandalf: There never was much hope. Just a fool's hope.
Frodo: There'll be none left for the return journey.
Sam: I don't think there's going to be a return journey.
Sam: Do you remember the Shire, Mr. Frodo? It'll be spring soon and the orchards will be in blossom, and the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket. And the whistle in the summer barley in the Lower fields. And eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?
Frodo: No, Sam. I can't recall the taste of food, nor the sound of water, nor the touch of grass. I'm naked in the dark. There's nothing--no veil between me and the wheel of fire. I can see him with my waking eyes.
Sam: Then let us be rid of it, once and for all. I can't carry the ring for you, but I can carry you! Comeon!
Frodo: The ring is mine.
Frodo: It's gone! It's done!
Sam: Yes, Mr. Frodo... It's over now.
Frodo: I can see the Shire... The Brandywine River... Bag End... Gandalf's fireworks... The lights in the party tree.
Sam: Rosie Cotton dancing... She had ribbons in her hair... If ever I was to marry someone... It would have been her... It would have been her!
Frodo: I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee... here, at the end of all things.
Frodo: [Voiceover] And thus it was: the fourth age of Middle-Earth began; and the Fellowship of the Ring, though eternally bound by friendship and love, was ended.
Frodo: [Voiceover] Thirteen months to the day since Gandalf sent us on our long journey, we found ourselves looking upon a familiar sight. We were home.
Frodo: [Voiceover] How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand there is no going back? There are some things time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep that have taken hold.
Sam: Mr. Frodo? What is it?
Frodo: It's been four years of the day since Weathertop, Sam... It's never really healed.
Sam: "There and Back Again...A Hobbit's Tale" by Bilbo Baggins, and "The Lord of the Rings" by Frodo Baggins. You've finished it.
Frodo: Not quite, there's room for a little more.
Bilbo: Tell me again... where are we going?
Frodo: To the harbor, Bilbo. The elves have recorded you a high honor; a place on the last ship to leave Middle Earth.
Bilbo: Any chance of me seeing that old ring again? Hmm? The one I gave you?
Frodo: I'm sorry, Bilbo... I'm afraid I lost it.
Bilbo: Oh... pity. I should have held it one last time.
Gandalf: It is time, Frodo.
Sam: What does he mean?
Frodo: We set out to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me.
Sam: You don't mean that. You can't leave.
Frodo: [hands Sam the book] The last pages are for you, Sam.
Frodo: [Voiceover] My dear Sam, you can not always be torn in two: you will have to be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy, and to be, and to do. Your part in this story will go on.

Movie/TV title: Green Street Hooligans (2005)
Character name: matt buckner
Quote(s):
Matt Buckner: Pete Dunham's life taught me there's a time to stand your ground, and his death taught me there's a time to walk away.
Matt Buckner: I've never lived closer to danger, but I've never felt safer. I've never felt more confident, and people could spot it from a mile away. And as for this, the violence? I gotta be honest - it grew on me. Once you've taken a few punches and realize you're not made of glass, you don't feel alive unless you're pushing yourself as far as you can go.
[last lines]
Matt Buckner: [singing] I'm forever blowing bubbles / Pretty bubbles in the air / They fly so high / They reach the sky / And like my dreams they fade and die / Fortune's always hiding, I've looked everywhere / I'm forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air. / United! United!
Matt Buckner: Was that a terrorist attack? What happened here?
Shannon Dunham: Welcome to match-day madness. Tottenham was in town last night.
Pete Dunham: So, I'm guessing you're not much of a fighter.
Matt Buckner: Fighter? That's probably the first fight I ever had.
Pete Dunham: You call that a fight?
Matt Buckner: You know the best part? It isn't knowing that your friends have your back. It's knowing that you have your friends' back.
Matt Buckner: What are you talkin' about, baseball is a girl's game? The Red Sox has a guy that pitches the ball over 90 miles per hour!
Pete Dunham: Who cares? All that means is that he can have a wank faster than you.
Pete Dunham: [to Bovver] This is Matt, Shannon's brother.
Matt Buckner: [Holds his hand out to Bovver] Hey.
[Bovver turns his head and smokes his cigarette]
Swill: That's the painting on his face, he don't give a fuck, does he? He don't give a fuck.
Pete Dunham: Mate, he's practically family.
[Bovver shrugs]
Swill: [laughing] Oh mate, he's fucking painful!
Pete Dunham: Bov's a miserable cunt, but we love him dearly don't we boys?
Dave: Yeah, sometimes.
Swill: Like a fucking brother!
Matt Buckner: [Discussing the West Ham / Millwall Rivalry] It's like the Yankees and the Red Sox.
Pete Dunham: More like the Israelis and the Palestinians.
Pete Dunham: So what were you studyin' before this geezer stitched ya up?
Matt Buckner: [Hesitates] ... History
Pete Dunham: History? I teach history!
Matt Buckner: [surprised] You teach?
Pete Dunham: Yes... cheeky slag! History and P.E. What you think the GSE paid a bloody wage? Mate I'm smart as fuck!
Matt Buckner: You look nervous.
Pete Dunham: Nervous? Fuck off...
Matt Buckner: Well what's on your mind then?
Pete Dunham: Only two little words keep every Hammer in England up all night... ”United away".
Pete Dunham: Fuck it, I will take you with me. You might learn something...
Matt Buckner: About soccer?
Pete Dunham: No mate. Not about soccer, AND FOR FUCK SAKE, STOP SAYING SOCCER!
Pete Dunham: Alright, look. We're sort of goin' into my place of business, right? Shut up until you're spoken to and you might have a better run at things. The only thing regarded worse than a Yank around here are coppers and journalists.
Matt Buckner: What d'you got against journalists?
Pete Dunham: How long have you got? They're lying fucking scum who'll write anything just to fill papers.
Dave: Now that we can stop kissing each other asses, I got to point out
[points at Matt]
Dave: ... you see the first punch he threw?
Pete Dunham: Yeah.
Dave: Little bit on the feminine side.
Matt Buckner: What?
Pete Dunham: A bit gay. A little bit gay.
Pete Dunham: [Matt and Pete are sitting at a food vendor stall, reading a newspaper the morning after the Birmingham game/fight] Fuckin' journos. Look at this.
[he slaps the paper]
Pete Dunham: West Ham wins 3-nil in a blindin' performance, and our little scrap makes the headline. Bloody muckrakers.
Matt Buckner: So, what is this?
Pete Dunham: Bollocks journo bullshit.
Matt Buckner: No, no, this, the GSE.
Pete Dunham: [whispering] Shhh! Lower it, son!
Matt Buckner: What are you guys, like, an organized political movement or something?
Pete Dunham: No, mate. We're a firm. You never heard of a firm in the States?
Matt Buckner: No.
Pete Dunham: All right. Every football team in Europe's got a firm. Some have two.
[Matt gives him a blank look]
Pete Dunham: Christ, I forgot how clueless you Yanks are. All you've seen of us is the stadium riots on TV, innit? Come on.
[they get up and walk away from the stall]
Pete Dunham: See, West Ham football is mediocre. But our firm is top-notch, and everyone knows it. The GSE: Green Street Elite. Arsenal... great football, shit firm... the Gooners. Tottenham... shit football, and a shit firm... the Yids, they're called. I actually put their main lad through a phone box window the other day.
Matt Buckner: [Matt looks down at the newspaper] What about Millwall?
Pete Dunham: Ah, Millwall. Where to even fucking begin with Millwall. Millwall and West Ham firms hate each other, more than any other firms by far.
Matt Buckner: Sorta like the Yankees and the Red Sox.
Pete Dunham: More like the Israelis and the Palestinians.
[Matt laughs]
Pete Dunham: We haven't played Millwall in ten years. Their top boy's this geezer named Tommy Hatcher. 'Orrible ol' cunt. Back in the Major's day, Tommy's son was killed in a scrap. After that, he went completely mental. Lost the plot.
Matt Buckner: Well, who's the Major?
Pete Dunham: Ah, the Major. Quite a legend 'round here. He ran the GSE in the Nineties, when I was comin' up. Hardest bastard you ever saw. They say we kinda lost our way when he left. But believe me, my boys are bringin' the ol' GSE reputation right back.
Matt Buckner: So basically, firms are gangs?
Pete Dunham: Kind of... but we're a far cry from all that Bloods and Crips bullshit. I mean shootin' a machine gun out of a movin' car at an 8 year old girl, that's just cowardly. See, we might be into fightin' an all that... but it's more about reputation. Humiliatin' another mob in a row, doin' somethin' the other firms get to hear and talk about - like a Yank in his first fight battering one of Birmingham's main lads.
Pete Dunham: Look mate, I'm not being funny, but the last thing I want to do is take you to the match with me. So here's how it works, you give me half the money, I'll go to football, and you can have a wonder 'round where Churchill took a tom, or whatever it is you Yanks do here in Jolly old.
Matt Buckner: Tom?
Pete Dunham: Tom. A tom tit. A shit. It's rhyming slang, like bees and honey for money. Or I could say to you, give me the fucking bees.
Matt Buckner: I made a promise to Steve.
Pete Dunham: Well Steve ain't here, is he mate. And to be honest, your pissing in the wind if you think I'm taking you with me.
Matt Buckner: Well, I'm not giving you the money.
Pete Dunham: You ain't really got a fucking choice mate. And your starting to ge ton my tits. Give me half the money.
Matt Buckner: [Matt points to something] Cops!
Pete Dunham: [Pete looks over to where Matt pointed, and Matt tries to kick Pete. Pete grabs Matts foot and turns to him] Well how fucking stupid do you feel now? Come on then, dance for me Yankee.
[Pete kicks Matt's other foot and Matt falls to the ground]
Pete Dunham: That's what you get for fighting like a bleeding tart. But try that again, and I will kick he shit out of you.
Matt Buckner: yeah, the tom out of me, i get it.
Pete Dunham: [laughing] Get up, come on.
Steve Dunham: I thought you were going to the match.
Pete Dunham: Well, technically, yes. But, what happened was me and the boys got in a bit of a drinking session last night. One thing lead to another...
Steve Dunham: Let me guess. You've lost your wallet.
Pete Dunham: And me keys.
[car horn beeps outside]
Pete Dunham: Ah. There's a taxi outside.
[Steve walks away to get his wallet]
Pete Dunham: Top bloke, my brother. So, how are we my colonial cousin?
Matt Buckner: Fine, thanks.
Pete Dunham: [mimicking Matt's accent] Fine, thanks.
