Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
[Frodo and Sam stand on a sinking rock set in the river of lava flowing from Mount Doom. Frodo lets out a sigh of relief.]
Frodo: "It's gone. It's done."

Sam: "Yes, Mister Frodo. It's over now."


[Lava flows around the hobbits.]


[The hobbits fall down as the mountain shakes. Frodo smiles and closes his eyes.]

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've been her."

[Sam starts to cry.]
Sam: "It would've been her."

[Frodo embraces him.]

Frodo: "I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things."

[Three Eagles appear in the sky over Mount Doom. One carries Gandalf.]


[The birds scoop up the hobbits and carry them away.]


[Frodo wakes up in a soft bed.]

[He sits up and sees Gandalf (for the first time since Moria). Frodo smiles and laughs.]


Frodo: "Gandalf?"

[Gandalf laughs.]


[Merry and Pippin enter the room and run to Frodo.]

Merry: "Frodo!"

[Gimli enters, waving his arms.]

Frodo: "Gimli!"


[Legolas follows, and then Aragorn.]


Frodo: "Aragorn."

[Sam enters last, exchanging a knowing look with Frodo.]



[Atop of Minas Tirith, a crowd fills the courtyard.]


[Gandalf places a crown on Aragorn's head.]



Gandalf: "Now come the days of the king. May they be blessed."


[Aragorn turns to address the crowd.]


Aragorn: "This day does not belong to one man but to all. Let us together rebuild this world… that we may share in the days of peace."

[The crowd, which includes a healed Faramir and Éowyn, applauds.]

Aragorn (singing): "Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta." (Out of the Great Sea to Middle-Earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.)


[The king is greeted by Faramir and Éowyn, King Éomer, and then Legolas, who stands with a group of elves.]



[Legolas and Aragorn place their hands on each other's shoulders.]
Aragorn: "Hannon le." (Thank you.)

[Legolas steps aside to reveal Elrond and Arwen.]



[As Aragorn stands amazed, Elrond motions Arwen towards him.]



[Aragorn grabs Arwen and kisses her.]




[At last the king comes to the four hobbits of the fellowship, who bow to him awkwardly.]


Aragorn: "My friends! You bow to no one."

[Aragorn, followed by everyone else present, bows before the hobbits.]
