One of my favorites has always been this scene, book or movie:<P>"Frodo: <BR>It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill him when he had the chance. <P>Gandalf: <BR>Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death and judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play yet, for good or ill, before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of the Ring. <P>Frodo: <BR>I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. <P>Gandalf: <BR>So do all that come 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."<P>It shows a lot of Gandalf and Frodo, and mentions poor old Bilbo. It reminds me of the mind game the ring plays with your morality and greediness. You have the complete opposite images of Bilbo, Gandalf, Gollum, and Frodo. A very chewy passage to munch on.<P>"Gimli: <BR>Let them come! There is one dwarf yet in Moria that still draws breath."<P>Good old Gimli <P>And on the extended edition of the FOTR, Boromir's complete speech. Very scary. One could see the fraility of men so very easily.
