1:16:08
The day has come at last, the day
of choice, which we have long delayed.
1:16:13
What shall now become of our company?
1:16:17
I am not Gandalf.
1:16:20
I have tried to guide you
as he would've done, but...
1:16:24
...if he had any plan for this moment,
he never told me.
1:16:28
Even if he had, if he had lived...
1:16:33
...I think the burden
would still have fallen on you, Frodo.
1:16:36
You alone can choose your way now.
1:16:40
The burden is heavy.
1:16:43
Give me an hour longer, and I will speak.
1:16:45
Let me be alone!
1:16:49
You shall have your hour.
And you shall be alone.
1:16:59
Who's there?
1:17:03
Boromir.
1:17:04
I was afraid for you, Frodo.
1:17:07
The Orcs may be on this side
of the river by now.
1:17:10
May I stay and talk to you, just for a while?
1:17:13
You're kind, but there's nothing to be said.
1:17:16
I know what I should do,
but I'm afraid of doing it, Boromir.
1:17:19
I wish I could help you.
Will you hear my counsel?
1:17:22
I know what your advice would be:
1:17:25
To go with you to Gondor
and use the Ring to defend Minas Tirith.
1:17:28
And is that such ill counsel?
1:17:31
Why should we fear to use the Ring
in a just cause?
1:17:34
Whatever is done with the Ring
turns to evil.
1:17:37
Gandalf and Elrond refused to touch it,
and Galadriel herself--
1:17:41
Yes, I know all that.
1:17:44
And for themselves, they may be right,
these Elves and half-Elves and Wizards!
1:17:47
But truehearted Men will not be corrupted.
1:17:50
We, of Minas Tirith, do not seek power.
Only the strength to defend ourselves.
1:17:55
Where is the evil in that, Frodo?
1:17:59
You cannot answer me, none of them can.
