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.
1:18:01
It's folly not using the Enemy's power
against him.
1:18:04
Think what Aragorn could do
with the Ring in this hour.
1:18:06
Or if he refuses, why not Boromir?
1:18:11
How I would drive the hosts of Mordor,
until I stood face to face with Sauron.
1:18:17
And they tell us to throw it away!
1:18:20
Come with me, Frodo.
1:18:23
My city is not far.
1:18:25
You can go to Mordor from there,
if you must.
1:18:28
Only, trust me, let me try my plan.
1:18:32
Lend me the Ring.
1:18:34
No, Boromir. No!
1:18:37
Fool, obstinate fool!
It is only yours by chance.
1:18:41
It might have been mine.
1:18:43
It should be mine. Give it to me!
1:18:49
Miserable trickster!
1:18:51
You'll sell us all to Sauron.
1:18:54
Traitor!
1:18:57
Curse you to death and darkness,
all you Halflings!
