Prologue:

Tangado haid! Leithio i philinn!
(Translation: 'Hold positions! Fire the arrows')

Rivendell:

Lasto beth nîn. Tolo dan na ngalad.
(Translation: 'Hear my voice, come back to the light.')

Welcome to Rivendell, Frodo Baggins

The Fate of the Ring:

Elrond:
His strength returns.
Gandalf:
That wound will never fully heal. He will carry it the rest of his life.
Elrond:
And yet to have come so far, still bearing the Ring, the Hobbit has shown extraordinary resilience to its evil.

Gandalf, the enemy is moving. Sauron's forces are massing in the east, his eye is fixed on Rivendell. And Saruman, you tell me, has betrayed us. Our list of allies grows thin.

This evil cannot be concealed by the power of the Elves. We do not have the strength to fight both Mordor and Isengard! Gandalf, the Ring cannot stay here

Elrond:
This peril belongs to all Middle-earth. They must decide now how to end it. The time of the elves is over. My people are leaving these shores. Who will you look to when we've gone? The Dwarves? They hide in their mountains seeking riches. They care nothing for the troubles of others.
Gandalf:
It is in Men that we must place our hope.
Elrond:
Men? Men are weak. The race of Men is failing. The blood of Numenor is all but spent, its pride and dignity forgotten. It is because of Men the Ring survives. I was there, Gandalf. I was there three thousand years ago... when Isildur took the Ring. I was there the day the strength of men failed.

Isildur, hurry! Follow me!
(V.O.) I led Isildur into the heart of Mount Doom, where the Ring was forged. The one place it could be destroyed.
Destroy it!...Isildur!

Elrond:
It should have ended that day, but evil was allowed to endure. Isildur kept the Ring. The line of kings is broken. There's no strength left in the world of Men. They're scattered, divided, leaderless.
Gandalf:
There is one who could unite them
Elrond:
He turned from that path a long time ago. He has chosen exile.
