Гэндальф

I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

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. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.

Bilbo had a shirt of mithril ringsthat Thorin gave him.

Oh, that was a kingly gift.

I never told him… but its worth was greater than the value of the Shire.

It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill him when he had the chance.

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 in judgment. 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 many.

You're late.

A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

What is this new devilry?

A Balrog. A demon of the ancient world. This foe is beyond any of you. Run!

We must join with Him, Gandalf. We must join with Sauron. It would be wise, my friend.

Tell me, friend, when did Saruman the Wise abandon reason for madness?

No, thank you. We don't want any more visitors, well-wishers, or distant relations.

And what about very old friends?

I think you should leave the ring behind, Bilbo. Is that so hard?

Well, no... and yes.

...it's mine... my own... my precious...

Precious? It's been called that before, but not by you.

Oh, what business is it of yours what I do with my own things?

I think you've had that ring quite long enough.

You want it for yourself!

Bilbo Baggings! Do not take me for some conjuror of cheap tricks! I am not trying to rob you. I'm trying to help you.

Dwarf doors are invisible when closed.

Yes, Gimli, their own masters cannot find them, if their secrets are forgotten.

Why doesn't that surprise me?

Frodo suspects something.

Of course he does, he's a Baggins.

Mordor, Gandalf, is it left or right?

Left.

What are you going to do, then?

Knock your head against these doors, Peregrin Took! And if that does not shatter them, and I am allowed a little peace from foolish questions, I will try to find the opening words.

But we still have time. Time enough to counter Sauron if we act quickly.

Time? What time do you think we have?
