“Remember what Bilbo used to say: ‘It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.‘“

It’s like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t, because they were holding on to something. There’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for.

Sam looked at him and wept in his heart, but no tears came to his dry and stinging eyes…. ‘Come, Mr. Frodo!’ he cried. ‘I can’t carry it for you, but I can carry you and it as well. So up you get!…. Sam will give you a ride. Just tell him where to go, and he’ll go.’

I’m glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things.
the sam and frodo scene at the river at the end of fellowship of the ring when sam says “don’t you leave him samwise gamgee, and i don’t mean to…i don’t mean to”
and the sam and frodo scene in the two towers when frodo says i want to hear more about sam and then sam is like i was being serious mr frodo and then frodo is like so was i
and then the sam and frodo scene when they talk about the shire on mount doom and frodo says he’s glad he’s with sam at the end of all things
those three scenes always make me so damn emotional, one for each film

What are we holding onto, Sam? That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it’s worth fighting for.
I needed Legolas helping Sam garden. Not an obvious friendship within the fellowship but one I’ve grown quite fond of
in the process of re-watching all three extended lord of the rings with my sister, and the hobbits are particularly charming me this time around.
