• Sam : I made a promise, Mr Frodo. A promise. "Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee." And I don't mean to. I don't mean to.

• Frodo : Go back, Sam. I'm going to Mordor alone.

  Sam : Of course you are. And I'm coming with you.

• Sam : This is it.

  Frodo : This is what?

  Sam : If I take one more step, it'll be the farthest away from home I've ever been.

  Frodo : Come on, Sam. 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."

• [last lines] 

  Frodo : Mordor... I hope the others find a safer road.

  Sam : Strider'll look after them.

  Frodo : I don't suppose we'll ever see them again.

  Sam : We may yet, Mr. Frodo. We may.

  Frodo : Sam... I'm glad you're with me.

• [Gandalf snatches Sam, who was sneaking around] 

  Gandalf : Confound it all, Samwise Gamgee. Have you been eavesdropping?

  Sam : I ain't been droppin' no eaves sir, honest. I was just cutting the grass under the window there, if you'll follow me.

  Gandalf : A little late for trimming the verge, don't you think?

  Sam : I heard raised voices.

  Gandalf : What did you hear? Speak.

  Sam : N-nothing important. That is, I heard a good deal about a ring, and a Dark Lord, and something about the end of the world, but... Please, Mr. Gandalf, sir, don't hurt me. Don't turn me into anything... unnatural.

• [Sam bashes Goblins with his frying pan] 

  Sam : Think I'm gettin' the hang of this!

• [Sam jumps from his hiding place] 

  Sam : Hey. 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.

• [about the passing Wood-elves] 

  Frodo : They're going to the harbor beyond the White Towers. To the Grey Havens.

  Sam : They're leaving Middle-earth.

  Frodo : Never to return.

  Sam : I don't know why - it makes me sad.

• Galadriel : For you, Samwise Gamgee, Elven rope, made of hithline.

  Sam : Thank You M'Lady... Have you ran out of those nice shiny daggers?

• Sam : Trust a Brandybuck and a Took.

  Merry : What? That was just a detour, a shortcut.

  Sam : Shortcut to what?

  Pippin : Mushrooms!

• [after Frodo is stabbed by the Witch King] 

  Aragorn : Sam, do you know the Athelas plant?

  Sam : Athelas?

  Aragorn : Kingsfoil.

  Sam : Kingsfoil, aye, it's a weed.

  Aragorn : It may help to slow the poison. Hurry!

• Sam : [sees the walls of Moria]  There's an eye-opener, and no mistake.

• Rose 'Rosie' Cotton : Good night, lads.

  Sam , Frodo : Good night.

  Ted Sandyman : [kneels before Rosie]  Good night, sweet maiden of the golden ale.

  Sam : Oi, mind who you're sweet talking!

  Frodo : Don't worry Sam, Rosie knows an idiot when she sees one.

  Sam : ...does she?

• Sam : [of Gandalf]  They should do a bit about his fireworks. The finest rockets ever seen burst in colors of blue and green, then after that were silver showers that came falling like a rain of flowers. Oh no, that doesn't to them any justice.

• Sam : [starts to panic]  Mister Frodo? Frodo! Frodo!

  [Frodo emerges from the bend in the path, looking puzzled] 

  Sam : I thought I'd lost you.

  Frodo : What are you talking about?

  Sam : It's just something Gandalf said.

  Frodo : What did he say?

  Sam : 'Don't you lose him Samwise Gamgee!' And I don't mean to.

  Frodo : [amused]  Sam, we're still in the Shire. What could possibly happen?

  [Suddenly, Pippin bursts from the cornfield and knocks over Frodo. Merry, close behind, barrels out, knocking over Sam. Both have an armful of vegetables] 

  Pippin : Frodo? Merry! It's Frodo Baggins.

  Merry : Hello Frodo!

  Sam : Get off him!

  [hauls Pippin off Frodo] 

  Sam : Frodo? Are you all right?

  Pippin : What's the meaning of this?

  Merry : Hold this.

  [hands vegetables to Sam] 

  Sam : You've been into Farmer Maggot's crop!

  [They hear a dog barking and an angry, yelling voice. Pippin grabs Frodo and runs, followed by Merry. Sam does a double take on the produce in his hands, drops them and runs after the others] 

  Farmer Maggot : [brandishing a scythe]  OI! Maggots! You get back here! Wait till I get on this to you! GET OUT OF MY FIELD! You'll know the devil if I catch up with you!

  Merry : 'Dunno why he is so upset. It's only a couple of carrots!

  Pippin : And some cabbages. And those few bags of potatoes that we lifted last week and, and the mushrooms the week before!

  Merry : Yes Pippin! My point is, he is clearly overreactin'. Run!

  [Pippin, Frodo and Merry stops just before the edge of the hill. Sam slams into them from behind and all four hobbits roll down the hill] 

  Pippin : Ooh! That was close

  Merry : Ow! I think I've broken something.

  [pulls out a broken carrot] 

• [extended edition; the Fellowship sits around a campfire at night; Boromir spies a shadowy figure floating along the river] 

  Aragorn : Gollum. He's tracked us since Moria.

  [Gollum disappears behind some rocks] 

  Aragorn : I had hoped we'd lose him on the river, but he's too clever a waterman.

  Boromir : And if he alerts the enemy to our whereabouts, it'll make the crossing even more dangerous.

  Samwise "Sam" Gamgee : Have some food, Mr. Frodo.

  Frodo Baggins : No, Sam.

  Samwise "Sam" Gamgee : You haven't eaten anything all day, and you're not sleeping neither. Don't think I haven't noticed.

  [sits next to him] 

  Samwise "Sam" Gamgee : Mr. Frodo.

  Frodo Baggins : I'm all right.

  Samwise "Sam" Gamgee : No, you're not. I'm here to help you. I promised Gandalf that I would.

  Frodo Baggins : [sadly looks Sam in the eye]  You can't help me, Sam.

  [shakes his head] 

  Frodo Baggins : Not this time.

• Peregrin "Pippin" Took : What's that?

  Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck : This, my friend, is a pint.

  Peregrin "Pippin" Took : It comes in pints?

  Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck : Mmm!

  Peregrin "Pippin" Took : I'm getting one.

  Samwise "Sam" Gamgee : You've got a whole half already!
