Daily Dialogue — June 11, 2013

Aragorn: Let the Lord of the Black Land come forth! Let justice be done upon him!
The Mouth of Sauron: My master, Sauron the Great, bids thee welcome. Is there any in this rout with authority to treat with me?
Gandalf: We do not come to treat with Sauron, faithless and accursed. Tell your master this: the armies of Mordor must disband. He is to depart these lands, never to return.
The Mouth of Sauron: Ahh, old Greybeard. I have a token I was bidden to show thee.

Pulls out Frodo’s mithril vest and throws it at them.

Pippin: [whispers] Frodo…
Gandalf: Silence.
Merry: No!
Gandalf: Silence!
The Mouth of Sauron: The halfling was dear to thee, I see. Know that he suffered greatly at the hands of his host. Who would’ve thought one so small could endure so much pain? And he did, Gandalf, he did.

— The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King (2003), screenplay by Fran Walsh & Philippa Boyens & Peter Jackson, novel by J.R.R. Tolkien
