1. A Shadow of the Past

'If we didn't do everything we weren't supposed to, we'd hardly do anything at all.' - Nori Brandyfoot (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Galadriel: Nothing is evil in the beginning. And there was a time when the world was so young, there had not yet been a sunrise. But even then there was light.

Finrod: Do you know why a ship floats and a stone cannot? Because the stone sees only downward. The darkness of the water is vast and irresistible. The ship feels the darkness as well, striving moment by moment to master her and pull her under. But the ship has a secret. For unlike the stone, her gaze is not downward but up. Fixed upon the light that guides her, whispering of grander things than darkness ever knew.

'How am I to know which lights to follow?' - Young Galadriel, 'Sometimes we cannot know until we have touched the darkness.' - Finrod (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Young Galadriel: But that seems so simple.
Finrod: The most important truths often are. But you must learn to discern them for yourself. I won’t always be here to speak them to you.
Young Galadriel: You won’t?

'We are but ripples in a long, long stream. Our paths set by the passing seasons. Nobody goes off trail and nobody walks alone. We have each other. We're safe. That is how we survive.' - Marigold Brandyfoot (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Galadriel: We had no word for death. For we thought our joys would be unending. We thought our light would never dim. So when the Great Foe, Morgoth, destroyed the very light of our home, we resisted. And a legion of Elves went to war. We left Valinor, our home, and journeyed to a distant realm. One filled with untold perils and strange creatures beyond count. A place known as Middle-earth.

'Evil does not sleep. It waits. And in the moment of our complacency, it blinds us.' - Galadriel (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Galadriel: They said it would be over quickly, but the war left Middle-earth in ruin. And would last centuries. Now, we learned many words for death. In the end, Morgoth would be defeated. But not before much sorrow. For his Orcs had spread to every corner of Middle-earth, multiplying ever greater under the command of his most devoted servant, a cruel and cunning sorcerer. They called him Sauron.

'The past is with us all, whether we like it or not.' - Arondir (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Galadriel: My brother vowed to seek him out and destroy him. But Sauron found him first and marked his flesh with a symbol. One whose meaning even our wisest could not discern. And there, in the darkness, his vow became mine. And so, we hunted. To the ends of the Earth we hunted Sauron. But the trail grew thin.

'Beauty has great power to heal the soul.' - Arondir (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Galadriel: Year gave way to year. Century gave way to century. And for many Elves, the pain of those days passed out of thought and mind. More and more of our kind began to believe that Sauron was but a memory. And the threat, at last, was ended. I wish I could be one of them.

'The same wind that seeks to blow out a fire may also cause its spread.' - High King Gil-galad (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Galadriel: This place is so evil, our torches give off no warmth.

Galadriel: Even stone cannot hide the mark of one whose very hand is flame unquenched. He was here. Sauron was here.

Galadriel: I promise you there is not a soul amongst our company who yearns for home more than I. I can still feel the light of the Trees on my face. I can still see it. And until we are certain every trace of our enemy is vanquished, I can never return.

Younger Hunter: Something’s wrong here. Nothing to hunt. Wolves in every thicket.
Don’t you think it’s the least bit strange?
Ornery Hunter: World’s strange. If I let them pitch-kettle me, I’d never get off me bar stool.

Younger Hunter: Looked like a badger. Maybe a fox.
Ornery Hunter: More likely a Harfoot.
Younger Hunter: A Harfoot?
Ornery Hunter: Don’t care to be seeing none, but if you do, watch yourself. Dangerous creatures they are.
Younger Hunter: You’re making it up.

Poppy Proudfellow: Can we turn back now? There’s a hundred and ten things out here that could kill us.
Nori Brandyfoot: Hundred-eleven if you count you worrying to death.
Poppy Proudfellow: You know the rules. We’re not supposed to be out this far.
Nori Brandyfoot: If we didn’t do everything we weren’t supposed to, we’d hardly do anything at all.

Elrond: I hear it’s said that when you cross over, you hear a song. One whose memory we all carry. And you are immersed in a light, more intoxicating than any sensation in all of Middle-earth.
Galadriel: When I was a child, it was the only feeling I knew.
Elrond: And look at you now. Commander of the Northern Armies. Warrior of the Wastelands. I half expected you to arrive caked in grime and mud.
Galadriel: This time, frostbite and troll blood. And no army.

Galadriel: This mark’s very existence proves Sauron escaped. He’s still out there. The question now is, where?

Elrond: I want to hear about you. Your harrowing journey.
Galadriel: Why, Elrond. You really have become a politician.
Elrond: You make it sound so grim.
Galadriel: I am not some courtier to be placated by idle flattery.

Nori Brandyfoot: Haven’t you ever wondered what else is out there? How far the river flows, or where the sparrows learn the new songs they sing in spring? I can’t help but feel there’s wonders in this worldm, beyond our wandering.

Marigold Brandyfoot: Elves have forests to protect. Dwarves, their mines. Men, their fields of grain. Even trees have to worry about the soil beneath their roots. But we Harfoots are free from the worries of the wide world. We are but ripples in a long, long stream. Our paths set by the passing seasons. Nobody goes off trail and nobody walks alone. We have each other. We’re safe. That is how we survive.

High King Gil-galad: Today, our days of peace begin. And as a measure of our gratitude, these heroes shall be granted an honor unrivaled in all our lore. They will be escorted to the Grey Havens and granted passage across the sea to dwell for all eternity in the Blessed Realm, the Far West. The Undying Lands of Valinor. At last, they are going home.

Elrond: It is said the wine of victory is sweetest for those in whose bitter trials it has fermented.
Galadriel: I do not feel victorious.
Elrond: You deserve the honors of this day. Your brother would be proud.

Galadriel: My brother gave his life hunting Sauron. His task is now mine. I go to seek the enemy that escaped us in the north. Alone, if I must.

Elrond: It is over. The evil is gone.
Galadriel: Then why is it not gone from in here?
Elrond: After all you have endured, it is only natural to feel conflicted.
Galadriel: Conflicted?

Galadriel: I am grateful you have not known evil as I have. But you have not seen what I have seen.
Elrond: I’ve seen my share.
Galadriel: You have not seen what I have seen. Evil does not sleep, Elrond. It waits. And in the moment of our complacency, it blinds us.

Elrond: No one in history has ever refused the call. Do so now, it may never come again. You will linger here, an outcast, poisoned in dark whispers and dreams.
Galadriel: And in the West, do you think my fate would be better? Where song would mock the cries of battle in my ears? You say I have won victory over all the horrors of Middle-earth. Yet you would leave them alive in me? To take with me? Undying, unchanging, unbreaking, into the land of winter less spring?

Galadriel: You have fought long enough, Galadriel. Put up your sword.
Elrond: Without it, what am I to be?
Galadriel: What you have always been. My friend.

Rowan: When are you people going to let the past go?
Arondir: The past is with us all, whether we like it or not.
Rowan: One day, our true king will return. And pry us right out from under your pointy boots.

Bronwyn: Are there healers among your kind?
Arondir: There are. But we call them artificers. Most wounds to our bodies heal of their own accord. So, it is their labor instead to render hidden truths as works of beauty. For beauty has great power to heal the soul.

Médhor: [referring to Arondir’s friendship with Bronwyn] Have you considered the consequences I might face if the Watch warden were to discover what it is that you’re doing?
Arondir: Afraid I don’t take your meaning.
Médhor: It’s difficult enough keeping watch over them without having to keep one eye squarely on you. Or do you think me blind?
Arondir: No. I think you talk too much. And you smell of rotten leaves.
Médhor: No, I don’t.
Arondir: Yes, you do.

Médhor: My point is this. Only twice in known history has a pairing between Elves and humans even been attempted. And on each occasion, it ended in tragedy. It ended in death.
Arondir: You need not remind me.

Bronwyn: [after Arondir’s told her he’s leaving] Then why are you at my home? Say what you wish to say.
Arondir: I have said it already. A hundred times over, in every way but words.

Elrond: Galadriel was so certain her search should continue.
High King Gil-galad: We foresaw that if it had, she might have inadvertently kept alive the very evil she sought to defeat. For the same wind that seeks to blow out a fire may also cause its spread.

Elrond: [referring to Galadriel] Then the shadow she sought, you believe it does exist?
High King Gil-galad: Set your mind at peace about it. What you did was right. For Galadriel and for Middle-earth.
Elrond: It is hard to see what is right when friendship and duty are mingled.
High King Gil-galad: Such is the burden of those who lead, and those who would seek to. Galadriel sails to the sunset. You and I must look to the new sunrise.

Sadoc Burrows: First the big people, now the stars. Eyes open when they should be sleeping. Almost like they’re watching for something.
Nori Brandyfoot: Watching for what?
Sadoc Burrows: A tongue-lashing, if you don’t mind your own cartwheels.

Sadoc Burrows: Elanor Brandyfoot, with your father’s nose, and always poking it into trouble, you are far too curious and meddlesome to have been born a Harfoot. Are you quite certain you’re not part squirrel?

Sadoc Burrows: The skies are strange.
Nori Brandyfoot: Strange. Strange how?

Bronwyn: You’re talking about my friends. Close kin, I know them. There are good people there.
Arondir: That is why I’m here with you. Instead of the Watch warden. Bronwyn. You’re the only kind touch I’ve known all my days in this land.

Young Galadriel: But sometimes the lights shine just as brightly reflected in the water as they do in the sky. How am I to know which lights to follow?
Finrod: Sometimes we cannot know until we have touched the darkness.

2. Adrift'There can be no trust between hammer and rock. Eventually one or the other must surely break.' - King Durin III (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Nori Brandyfoot: We can’t leave him like this, or the wolves will get him.
Poppy Proudfellow: So?
Nori Brandyfoot: So, that’s not who we are.
Poppy Proudfellow: That’s not who you are.

'True creation requires sacrifice.' - Lord Celebrimbor (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Nori Brandyfoot: He’s not a troll!
Poppy Proudfellow: Alright, smart-foot. Then what is he?
Nori Brandyfoot: Maybe he’s big folk.
Poppy Proudfellow: Human? No way. He’d be squished.
Nori Brandyfoot: Elf, maybe?
Poppy Proudfellow: Wrong ears. And he’s not handsome. Not to mention, Elves don’t fall from the sky. Nobody does. As far as I know.
Nori Brandyfoot: He did.

'I admire all who can see into the mystery of things, who can divine from the plainness of what is, the beauty of what could be.' - Lord Celebrimbor (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Nori Brandyfoot: In the morning, we’ll pack him up some food and send him on his way.
Poppy Proudfellow: What way?
Nori Brandyfoot: That’s a tomorrow problem.

Nori Brandyfoot: I didn’t go looking for this.
Poppy Proudfellow: But you’re not turning away.
Nori Brandyfoot: Because I can’t.
Poppy Proudfellow: Because you won’t! This stranger isn’t a Man, or an Elf, or some baby eagle with a broken wing.
Nori Brandyfoot: That was one time.
Poppy Proudfellow: He’s something else! Maybe he’s something dangerous.

'Where there is love, it is never truly dark.' - Elrond (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Nori Brandyfoot: He could’ve landed anywhere, and he landed here. I know it sounds strange, but somehow I just know he’s important. It’s like there’s a reason this happened. Like I was supposed to find him. Me. I can’t walk away from that. Not till I know he’s safe.

Poppy Proudfellow: What does a giant eat, anyway? Hope it’s not Harfoots.
Nori Brandyfoot: Just the ones that can’t keep a secret.

Elrond: Strange, isn’t it? How one object could be responsible for creating so much beauty, and so much pain.
Lord Celebrimbor: True creation requires sacrifice.

Elrond: What is it you hope to craft?
Lord Celebrimbor: “What” is but a glint on the far horizon. You have come to Eregion to help me achieve the “how”.

Lord Celebrimbor: I admire all who can see into the mystery of things, who can divine from the plainness of what is, the beauty of what could be.

Nori Brandyfoot: Father always says, “A Harfoot without manners is as like to get far in life as a square wheel.”

Nori Brandyfoot: [to the stranger] What about your name? You? You don’t remember, do you? Suppose you did fall quite a long way. Anybody’s head would be a bit higgledy-piggledy. I fell out of a tree once. For a whole week, I kept calling strawberries “pigberries”. Can you imagine? A pigberry?

Malva: Stop your lounge-a-daising and lend us a foot.

Halbrand: [to Galadriel] The tides of fate are flowing. Yours may be heading in, or out.

Abigail: [referring to Galadriel] Does she look dangerous to you?
Halbrand: Looks can be deceiving.

Prince Durin IV: A dog may bark at the moon. But he cannot bring it down.

Prince Durin IV: The true purpose of your visit. You want something.
Elrond: I journeyed here to see my friend, whom I’ve greatly missed.
Prince Durin IV: Missed? You missed my wedding. The birth of my children, two of them! You cannot barge into my mountain and demand I welcome you with open arms. You cannot claim that which you discarded.
Elrond: Discarded? Durin, I…
Prince Durin IV: Twenty years might be the blink of an eye to an Elf. But I’ve lived an entire life in that time. A life you missed!

Prince Durin IV: [to Elrond] One apology to Disa and you’re off. No getting better acquainted. No reminiscing about the past. And absolutely no staying for dinner.

Princess Disa: [to Elrond] Make yourself comfortable, please.
Prince Durin IV: But not too comfortable.

Princess Disa: You see, a mountain’s like a person. It’s a long and ever-changing story made of countless small parts. Earth and ore, air and water. Sing to it properly, each of those parts will reflect your song back to you, telling you its story, showing you what might be hidden, where to mine, where to tunnel, and where to leave the mountain untouched.

Prince Durin IV: His king sent him here to take what’s ours.
Elrond: To the contrary. Coming to Khazad-dûm was my idea. And I have asked for nothing but your ear.
Prince Durin IV: Aye, and that’s how it starts. And soon enough, we’re left with our thumbs in our eyes. Elves for Elves, no?

Princess Disa: What sort of tree is it, exactly?
Elrond: A seedling of our Great Tree in Lindon. The very symbol of our people’s strength and vitality.
Princess Disa: Some called him a fool for believing it would grow in such darkness.
Elrond: Where there is love, it is never truly dark.

Galadriel: I am simply wondering what manner of man would so readily abandon his companions to death.
Halbrand: The sort that knows how to survive.

Halbrand: “Separated” from your ship. Really? You’re a deserter, aren’t you?
Galadriel: Do I have the look of a deserter?
Halbrand: You don’t have the look of someone to whom things happen by accident. Which means you were running. Whether toward or from something, I haven’t yet decided.

Galadriel: Why are you dodging the question?
Halbrand: Why are you stranded at sea?
Galadriel: Because rather than rest in glory, I chose to seek out the very enemy responsible for your suffering.

Halbrand: Look, Elf. You didn’t cause my suffering, and you can’t fix it. No matter how strong your will. Or your pride. So let it lie.
Galadriel: I have pursued this foe since before the first sunrise bloodied the sky. It would take longer than your lifetime even to speak the names of those they have taken from me. So letting it lie is not an option.
Halbrand: At last, a little honesty. If you want to murder Orcs and settle a score, that’s your affair. But don’t dress it up as heroism.

Nori Brandyfoot: [referring to the stranger] What’s he saying to them?
Poppy Proudfellow: I don’t speak firefly.

Prince Durin IV: You think too much of their kind. We’re the ones holding the long end of the hammer here.
King Durin III: Aye. For now.
Prince Durin IV: Elrond is a friend. I trust him.
King Durin III: There can be no trust between hammer and rock. Eventually one or the other must surely break.

3. Adar

'The past is dead. We either move forward or we die with it.' - Captain Elendil (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Captain Elendil: One of the Eldar. On board my ship? Strange tides indeed.
Galadriel: What vessel is this?
Captain Elendil: Be at ease. I’m obliged to deliver you safely to my betters. They will answer your questions, not I.
Galadriel: To what port do we sail?
Captain Elendil: See for yourself. We’re nearly there.
Halbrand: Nearly where?
Captain Elendil: Home.

'An avalanche can start with one stone.' - Pharazôn (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Halbrand: What is this place?
Galadriel: There is only one place it can be. The Land of the Star. The westernmost of all mortal realms. The Island Kingdom of Númenor.

'It is unwise to live one's life guessing after signs and portents.' - Captain Elendil (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Halbrand: Since when did Men like me build kingdoms such as this?
Galadriel: These Men are not like you. In the Great War, your ancestors stood with Morgoth. These Men stood with the Elves. As a reward, the Valar granted them this island, which has changed much since then.
Halbrand: Do I detect a note of envy?
Galadriel: Not envy. Sorrow. Once, Elves came and went freely from these shores. Our people were as kin. Sharing gifts, knowledge.
Halbrand: What happened?
Galadriel: Númenor began to turn away our ships. In time, they broke off all contact.
Halbrand: Why?
Galadriel: We may be about to find out.

'There's head-sense, Poppy, and there's heart-sense.' - Nori Brandyfoot, 'There's common sense and nonsense. And if you're all out of the first, then you can borrow some of mine.' - Poppy Proudfellow (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Halbrand: [whispers to Galadriel] Kneel.
Queen Regent Míriel: No one kneels in Númenor.
Halbrand: [whispers to Galadriel] Sorry.

'We don't need friends. We need to survive.' - Vilma, 'Without friends, what are we surviving for?' - Nori Brandyfoot (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Pharazôn: A Man and an Elf, together?
Halbrand: Circumstances arose that…
Galadriel: We are companions by chance. Met on the open sea. Your captain, here, delivered us from certain death. All we ask is that Númenor continue his mercy and grant us ship’s passage to Middle-earth.

See more Episode 3 Quotes

Pharazôn: It’s been generations since a ship of Númenor was permitted to make such a journey on an Elf’s behalf.
Galadriel: It is because of the Elves that you were given this island. Surely you can spare a few planks and a rudder.
Queen Regent Míriel: Our ancestors were not given anything. They paid for this isle with the blood of their kin.

Queen Regent Míriel: If blood be the price of passage, I will pay it. But one way or another, I will depart.
Queen Regent Míriel: I welcome you to try.
Galadriel: I have no need of your welcome.
Queen Regent Míriel: And you are quickly wearing out yours.

Galadriel: I will not be made a prisoner.
Pharazôn: I would sooner knee-cap a stallion than seek to imprison the mighty commander of the Northern Armies. So, you shall be Númenor’s guest.

Halbrand: Look around you. This is a paradise. Ripe with opportunity. You really expect me to leap with you back into the furnace?
Galadriel: You leapt into the sea to save one life. I seek to save many.
Halbrand: I have been searching for my peace for longer than you know. Please, for both our sakes, let me keep it. Perhaps some peace would do you good as well. But at the very least, do try not to make any new enemies.

Queen Regent Míriel: She is but one Elf.
Pharazôn: An avalanche can start with one stone.

Sail Master: There is no harsher master than the sea.

Queen Regent Míriel: The Faithful believe that when the petals of the White Tree fall, it is no idle thing, but the very tears of the Valar themselves. A living reminder that their eyes and their judgment are ever upon us. Do you believe that?
Captain Elendil: In my experience, it is unwise to live one’s life guessing after signs and portents.

Captain Elendil: [referring to his name] In the ancient tongue of the Eldar, it can also mean “Elf-friend”.
Queen Regent Míriel: And are you? An Elf-friend?
Captain Elendil: I’m a loyal servant of Númenor.

Queen Regent Míriel: Elves have been unwelcome on our shore since the reign of my grandfather’s great grandfather, you chose to break with that precedent. Why?
Captain Elendil: It was the sea that put her in my path. And the sea is always right.
Queen Regent Míriel: The sea cannot commit treason.
Captain Elendil: With respect, Queen Regent, given the circumstances, I did only what I believed to be most prudent.
Queen Regent Míriel: If, Elendil, that is truly your wish, then I shall have to ask you to perform a service.

Watchwarden Revion: It seems Morgoth has a successor.
Arondir: “Adar”. Why would Orcs refer to their leader by an Elvish word?
Watchwarden Revion: Sauron was said to have many names in days of old. Perhaps this is one of them. There is more at work here than we can yet see.

Watchwarden Revion: If even one of us makes it home, we can return in force and sweep the enemy from these lands like salt from a table.

Captain Elendil: I’m afraid the Queen has charged me with seeing to it that you cause no further disturbance. I believe she saw it as a punishment.
Galadriel: Then she and I have something in common after all.

Galadriel: Who is this mortal, who speaks to me as if he has the slightest idea who I am?
Captain Elendil: I have a daughter who runs fast, and a son who runs blind. Your eyes bear a striking resemblance to both.
Galadriel: Where I run, and how I run there are none of your concern. Anywhere is better than here, where I’m hated by all who see me. So call to your guards, or get out of my way.
Captain Elendil: [in Quenya] You’re not hated by all, m’lady.

Tamar: It’s you, isn’t it?
Halbrand: Certainly appears that way.
Tamar: What are you called, again?
Halbrand: Depends.
Tamar: Depends on what?
Halbrand: How close we are.
Tamar: And how close are you and the She-elf?

Tamar: You’re on a lucky streak, low man. Free sail to our island, eating our food, drinking our ale. What will you take next? Our lands? Our trades?
Halbrand: Don’t forget your women.
Tamar: Look at the mouth on him. Maybe he and the She-elf aren’t so close after all. Wager she’d prefer someone of better breeding.

Galadriel: [referring to Sauron’s mark] This is no sigil. It is a map of the Southlands. It is as Halbrand said.
Captain Elendil: And the inscription?
Galadriel: It is the Black Speech. It speaks not only of a place, but a plan. A plan by which to create a realm of their own, where evil would not only endure, but thrive.

Galadriel: Matters are worse than I imagined.
Captain Elendil: Then the Southlands are in grave danger.
Galadriel: If Sauron has indeed returned, the Southlands are but the beginning.

Largo Brandyfoot: [referring to Nori] Look, once that girl puts her head to something, Nothing can stop her.

Poppy Proudfellow: [to Nori] If you lay one paw on that book, and old Sadoc will use your hide to make his next batch of pages!

Nori Brandyfoot: If you want to help him find those stars, our best hope is in that book.
Poppy Proudfellow: I don’t want to help him. He’s a giant with a brackish temper, who sometimes murders fireflies.
Nori Brandyfoot: That was an accident.
Poppy Proudfellow: Now, I say the sensible thing to do is top off his food, point him to the nearest human village, and, “Fare thee well, stranger.”

Poppy Proudfellow: Why is it your problem? What sense is it sticking your neck out for him any more than you already have?
Nori Brandyfoot: There’s head-sense, Poppy, and there’s heart-sense.
Poppy Proudfellow: There’s common sense and nonsense. And if you’re all out of the first, then you can borrow some of mine.

Sadoc Burrows: Another season has passed in this glade, leaving us with full carts, and fuller bellies. Some fuller than most, if we’re being honest about it.

Sadoc Burrows: And now, before we begin our next journey, we remember those from prior migrations, who fell behind. And should any Harfoot fall behind this migration, they likewise will be carried with us in our hearts and in our memories. In life, we could not wait for them. But here, now, we welcome to our circle.

Sadoc Burrows: You have lied, stolen, brought a dangerous outsider into our midst.
Vilma: And she lied.
Largo Brandyfoot: He already said that.
Malva: Well, she did.
Nori Brandyfoot: But, no, he was lost. Hurt. What was I supposed to do? Leave him there?
Largo Brandyfoot: You must admit, Sadoc, it’s quite extraordinary.

Largo Brandyfoot: Have you ever heard tell of beings falling from the stars?
Sadoc Burrows: I’ve heard of beings who were turned into stars. Never the other way around. It’s very troubling.

Vilma: We don’t need friends, girl. We need to survive.
Nori Brandyfoot: Without friends, what are we surviving for? “Good little Harfoots, stick to the path, flee every danger,” heaven forbid we explore something new for once!

Malva: Our laws are clear. Any Harfoot that breaks them is to be decaravaned.
Sadoc Burrows: Our laws are clear, indeed. But Miss Brandyfoot is young. With as much hair still to grow on her toes as sense between her ears. Tomorrow we depart as planned. And the Brandyfoot cart will be with us. At the back of the caravan.

Marigold Brandyfoot: Honestly, Nori. Do you see a destiny in this? Do you think the stars reached down and touched you, is that it? Do you think you’re special? You’re just a child.
Nori Brandyfoot: I know I’m not special. I know I’m just one little Harfoot in a grand wide world. But he is special. I can feel it.
Marigold Brandyfoot: My darling girl. Ever has your heart been like your father’s. But the tallest milkweed gets snipped.

Captain Elendil: There is nothing for us on our western shores. The past is dead. We either move forward or we die with it.

Captain Elendil: The watery part of this world has a way of healing even the deepest of wounds.
Isildur: The way it’s healed yours?

Galadriel: You do not belong on this island.
Halbrand: If there’s one of us that doesn’t belong here, Elf, it’s you.
Galadriel: I’m not so sure of that anymore. But of one thing I am now certain. You are more than you claim.

Galadriel: Your people have no king, for you are him.
Halbrand: That’s an odd thing to say to a man in a cage.
Galadriel: A cage you have landed in because you chafe under the rags of the common. And the armor that ought to rest upon your shoulders weighs upon your soul.

Halbrand: Be careful, Elf. The heir to this mark is heir to more than just nobility. For it was his ancestor who swore a blood oath to Morgoth. I am not the hero you seek. For it was my family that lost the war.
Galadriel: And it was mine who started it.

Galadriel: Ours was no chance meeting. Not fate, nor destiny, nor any other words Men use to speak of the forces they lack the conviction to name. Ours was the work of something greater. You must see it.
Halbrand: All I see is an Elf who won’t put down her sword.

Galadriel: Come with me to Middle-earth. And together we will redeem both our bloodlines.
Halbrand: How? You’re stuck on this island. And you’re still short an army.
Galadriel: That is all about to change.

The Stranger: [as he helps them with their cart] Friend.
Nori Brandyfoot: This is it. This is how we keep up with the others, all of us. He helps us, and we help him.

4. The Great Wave'Faith may bind one heart. But it is too fine a thread from which to hang a kingdom.' - Queen Regent Míriel (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Pharazôn: Statecraft is the art of attending to small matters as diligently as grand ones. I should like to think you’d learned that by now.
Kemen: I was only trying to be clever.
Pharazôn: Cleverness is for men of small ambition. I’d much rather it if you were wise, my son.

Pharazôn: [referring to Galadriel] My friends, trust in me. For by the calluses on my hands, I swear that Elven hands will never take Númenor’s helm. She will remain, as always, a kingdom of Men.

'There is no secret worth concealing with deception.' - Elrond (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Kemen: [referring to Pharazôn] Isn’t a name in this city he doesn’t know, a crowd he can’t turn, a favor he isn’t owed.
Eärien: It’s impressive.
Kemen: I was going to say infuriating.

Galadriel: Sauron was once your people’s enemy, as much as mine. I call on you to finish the task left undone. To reforge the alliance between Númenor and Elves, and fight with me, to save the men of the Southlands before Sauron claims their lands for his own.
Queen Regent Míriel: In this court we hear many proposals. I dare say yours is the most surprising and ambitious I’ve heard in weeks. Nevertheless, Númenor has chosen another path.
Galadriel: Not all Númenor.
Queen Regent Míriel: King or carpenter, the Southlander will face judgment. This audience is ended.

'Intuition's a powerful tonic.' - King Durin III (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Queen Regent Míriel: And with what authority do you speak, Elf? That of your people? Or are you a castaway, grasping for a handhold in a tempest?
Galadriel: There is a tempest in me! It swept me to this island for a reason. And it will not be quelled by you, Regent.

Halbrand: [as Galadriel is placed in the prison cell] Don’t tell me. Tavern brawl?
Galadriel: Sedition.

Isildur: I thought the sail-master would only dismiss me. I’m sorry.
Valandil: You’re sorry? You’re sorry? You just set our whole lives on fire!

Valandil: [to Isildur] Leave it to you to get kicked out of something you never earned in the first place.

Valandil: [referring to Isildur] Going, staying, what does it matter? The real problem is him. And that’s not going anywhere.

Arondir: [to Adar] Why do the Orcs call you Father?

Adar: [to Arondir] You have been told many lies. Some run so deep, even the rocks and roots now believe them. To untangle it all, would all but require the creation of a new world. But that is something only the gods can do. And I am no god. At least, not yet.

Theo: I’m sick and tired of watching everything go to tatters and not doing anything about it.
Bronwyn: We are doing everything we can.
Theo: Well, I’m not!
Bronwyn: Theo. Theo! You can either help me or you can make it harder.

Elrond: Elves and Dwarves working together. Remarkable. It is everything you said it would be. What?
Lord Celebrimbor: Nothing. Just for a moment, standing there, you were the very image of your father.

Lord Celebrimbor: [referring to Elrond’s father] He had that way of seeing far off. Do you know, I remember once, he said to me, one day, my future would be in his son’s hands. He said it quite casually, as if one might speak of tomorrow’s rain. And I’d forgotten that until, till this moment. Isn’t that odd?

Princess Disa: Did you try asking his work teams?
Elrond: All nineteen of them. They keep putting me off. One would almost think it suspicious.
Princess Disa: Are you suggesting Durin’s got himself a wee girlfriend?
Elrond: There is none other than you, milady.
Princess Disa: I know. Who’d have him?

Elrond: You know, Disa, there is no secret worth concealing with deception.
Princess Disa: Calling a Dwarf dishonest in her own home? That’s a recipe for strong gravy.
Elrond: If Durin is mining quartz, why would he leave without taking his chiseling axe? And why would you prepare his favorite meal if he’s gone to a chasm that takes two full days to descend to?

Princess Disa: Durin didn’t bring his axe because the quartz he’s mining isn’t chiseled. It is pried. I am making mole-tail stew because it needs a wee while to set before he’s home. And while it may take several days for an outsider, such as you, Dwarven climbers like my husband can make the descent to Quartz Chasm in just a few hours. Was there anything else you wanted to ask about, dearie?
Elrond: No. Thank you.

Princess Disa: [referring to Elrond] I just hope he believed me. He’s not easily taken in, that Elf.
Prince Durin IV: Certainly not. Lucky my future queen could convince a water rat to wear a mink coat. One more reason to count my blessings I married you, not Margid Rustborin.
Princess Disa: And what are the other reasons?
Prince Durin IV: I’ll tell you later.
Princess Disa: Hush now. We better keep our pipes down.

Elrond: What is this place?
Prince Durin IV: You really expect me to believe you do not know? That this was not the true reason he sent you here to begin with? You want it for yourselves.
Elrond: Durin, want what? I care nothing for whatever is in that chamber. I do care for you, for this friendship. And secrets do not become it.

Prince Durin IV: I need your oath. Hand to mountain, you’ll never breathe so much as a whisper of what I’m about to tell you to another living soul. Dwarven anger outlives even Elven memory. Break your promise, and the power of this stone will doom you and your kin to sorrow, to your last day on this Middle-earth. Do you swear it, Elrond?
Elrond: I swear on the memory of my father, Eärendil the Mariner. Anything you tell me here will end in my ears alone.

Elrond: What do you call this miracle ore?
Prince Durin IV: In our tongue, gray glitter. In yours, something like mith-raud.
Elrond: No, no. It would be mithril.

Prince Durin IV: So you really did come all this way just for Eregion?
Elrond: I came because twenty years is far too long to stay away. Even for an Elf.

Eärien: I’m not in the habit of going off with strange young men.
Kemen: Very wise. If I see any, you’ll be the first to know.

Halbrand: As much as I admire your habit of charging at every obstacle in your path, like a colt in full gallop. Has it ever occurred to you that you’re not battling trolls or Orcs, but Men?
Galadriel: Are you really about to advise me in the art of war?
Halbrand: No. No, I wouldn’t dare. But then, the queen’s court isn’t exactly your usual battlefield, is it?

Halbrand: In an instance like this, it seems to me that you’d do well to identify what it is that your opponent most fears.
Galadriel: And exploit it?
Halbrand: No. Give them a means of mastering it. So that you can master them.

Galadriel: So by your standards, I’m in this cell, because I’ve yet to identify what the queen most fears?
Halbrand: My very low standards. Yes.
Galadriel: And I suppose you did, having met her for all of a few moments?
Halbrand: During which you managed to demand a ship, insult her people, defy her orders, none of which quickened her pulse. Now, all of a sudden, she throws you in a cell. Why?
Galadriel: I asked her to fight for your people.
Halbrand: But that wasn’t what provoked her anger, was it?
Galadriel: I demanded to speak with her father. The king in the tower, whom no one has seen in years.

Halbrand: See what happens when you stop galloping and you give yourself a moment to think?
Galadriel: Cease comparing me to a horse.
Halbrand: Cease trying to convince me to leave this island and you have a deal.

Queen Regent Míriel: It is Númenor’s future you saw.
Galadriel: Palantíri show many visions. Some that will never come to pass.
Queen Regent Míriel: It has already come to pass. The vision begins with your arrival.
Galadriel: And you believe I will bring about Númenor’s downfall?
Queen Regent Míriel: Only Númenor can bring about her downfall.

Galadriel: If the evil rising in Middle-earth is left unchecked, it will spread and take us all. Avoiding this war may be the very thing that brings about your downfall.
Queen Regent Míriel: I will not second-guess the gods. My decision is final.
Galadriel: A decision based in fear.

Galadriel: I know what it is to be the only one, the only one who sees, the only one who knows. Perhaps neither of us have to bear that burden alone any longer. I beg of you, Míriel, choose not the path of fear, but that of faith. Stand with me. Let Númenor fight alongside the Elves once more.
Queen Regent Míriel: Faith may bind one heart, Galadriel. But it is too fine a thread from which to hang a kingdom.

Princess Disa: I cannot stop thinking that if you’d not gone down there, Durin might have been in that shaft when it… I’m sorry. I’m sorry I lied to you.
Elrond: You were faithful to my friend. That is all we need remember.

Princess Disa: Even the hottest coals eventually cool.
Prince Durin IV: [referring to King Durin] Yeah, but sometimes I wish they wouldn’t. Sometimes I wish I could tell him exactly what I think of him, and never trade words with the old goat again!

Elrond: [to Durin] For many years, at day’s end, I would look up at it, wondering what might he think if he were watching me. Would he be proud of what I’ve accomplished with his legacy? Or disappointed by the countless ways I’d failed to live up to it? But then, one night, it struck me that I would be only too happy to hear any judgment, so long as it granted me the opportunity to have but one more conversation with my father. Do not waste what time you have left with yours.

Prince Durin IV: [to Elrond] You wouldn’t remember your face if you were gazing in a mirror.

Prince Durin IV: Forgive me, Father. I was proud, and stubborn, and I was wrong. Can you not even look at me?
King Durin III: Our people believe that when a new Dwarf-king is crowned, the voices of all his forebearers flow into him, sharing with him their counsel and wisdom. Even their mistakes. But you, you need not wait for that day to hear my voice. For, ever am I with you, my son. Even in anger. Sometimes, in anger most of all. There is nothing to forgive.

King Durin III: Elrond has been very convincing in his assurances that Gil-galad bore no ill intent when he sent him here.
Prince Durin IV: Aye. He has.
King Durin III: But intuition’s a powerful tonic. What does yours tell you?
Prince Durin IV: There is something more at work.

Tredwill: Do you know what it is? It is no sword. It is a power. Fashioned for our ancestors by his master’s own hand. A beautiful servant. He who was lost, but shall return. Have you heard of him, lad? Have you heard of Sauron? Well, you must have seen it in the skies. A few weeks back now. The star fall. It means his time is near. And it is to you and me, lad, to be ready.
Theo: Ready for what?
Tredwill: Hush now, lad. You save your strength. You’ll need it for what’s coming.

Queen Regent Míriel: There is a fateful hour in the destinies of men. An hour of judgment in which each of us, every one, must decide who we shall be. Are our hearts become as the statues that surround our isle? Or do they yet beat with the blood of the heroes that carved them? Is our valor confined to the graves of our slumbering fathers? Or is it here, amongst us even now, waiting to burst forth as the rising Sun? I would neither command, nor invite you to any danger I myself would not face. And so, I’ve decided to personally escort the Elf back to Middle-earth. To aid our mortal brethren who are now besieged in the Southlands.

Nori Brandyfoot: [referring to their migration] Of course, the only trouble is there’s a hundred perils between here and there.
The Stranger: “Perils”?
Nori Brandyfoot: Like a danger. You know, big folk, wolves, fog, rain, hill-trolls, cave-trolls, anything that’ll kill you.

Nori Brandyfoot: No. No, no, you’re not.
The Stranger: No. Fireflies.
Nori Brandyfoot: That was just an accident. You’re not a peril. You’re good.
The Stranger: I’m good?
Nori Brandyfoot: You’re good. Because you’re here to help.

Marigold Brandyfoot: Oh, stuff. I do not snore.
Nori, Poppy: Yes, you do.

Bronwyn: I know I’m not the king you have awaited. But if you choose to stand with me and fight, this tower will no longer be a reminder of our frailty, but a symbol of our strength. Who will stand with me? Who among you will stand and fight?

'A burden shared may either be halved or doubled. Depending on the heart that receives it.' - Elrond (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Waldreg: Stand and fight? Stand and fight? You will die. I say it’d be better to take our chances bowing to the supposed enemy.
Arondir: I have looked that enemy in the eye. He’s not your deliverance.
Waldreg: You think you are? Elf? I’ll say this for our ancestors. They lived!
Bronwyn: Together, we can survive this.
Waldreg: Follow me, and together, we will!

Isildur: Why wasn’t I chosen for the expedition?
Captain Elendil: I thought you were going west.
Isildur: Not anymore. Not till I’ve done something worthy of Númenor.
Captain Elendil: And what is that? In your words.
Isildur: I don’t have words for it. That’s why I’m trying so hard to find it. Why I’m asking for your help.

'Give me the meat, and give it to me raw.' - Prince Durin IV (The Rings of Power) Click To Tweet

Captain Elendil: While you were feigning fidelity to the traditions of this isle, these men were living them. Finding ways to contribute. To serve. Something of which you evidently care little.
Isildur: I care. I’m ready to serve.
Captain Elendil: Nothing would make me prouder. But you had your chance. And you made your choice.

Halbrand: You used me. After I all but begged you to let me be.
Galadriel: I have just convinced Númenor to send five ships, and five hundred men to aid your people, and place a crown upon your head. Many might assume you used me.
Halbrand: Find another head to crown.

Galadriel: [to the soldiers] There are many ways to kill an Orc. But for you, I will keep it strong and simple. Stab, twist, gut. Come at me. We will see who can score flesh.
Captain Elendil: Anyone that does, I will promote to lieutenant.

Galadriel: Swordsmanship is about balance, rather than strength. Fight with your feet. Not your arms.

Galadriel: Never trust brute force to best an Orc. It’s often easiest to outmaneuver them.

Kemen: It’s not too late to stop this. Your cousin may hold the scepter, but it’s you the people follow. With their help you could…
Pharazôn: Could what?
Kemen: Assert your influence.
Pharazôn: Sometimes the folly of youth is enough to make an old man weep.

Kemen: Is it folly to try and stop a war?
Pharazôn: It’s folly to kick against the current. You see, the tide may rise and drown a man, or fall and sweep him out to sea. The trick of mastering the current is to know which way it will turn next.

Pharazôn: When all this has ended, Elves will take orders from us. Now, my cousin can go to war for Galadriel if she wishes. I go to war for Númenor.
Kemen: How could this be for Númenor?
Pharazôn: Have you learned nothing? Soon, we will save the low men of Middle-earth, lift them up, and give them the king they’ve long awaited. A king who will be forever in our debt. Now, contemplate, if you can, how that might benefit us. Ores, forests, trades, tribute. I wouldn’t dare stop that. Not for all the salt in the sea. And neither should you.

Tar-Palantir: Don’t go to Middle-earth. All that awaits you there is…
Queen Regent Míriel: What, Father? What awaits me?
Tar-Palantir: Darkness.

High King Gil-galad: Khazad-dûm has been called the quietest of Dwarven kingdoms, but in recent months, your furnaces are said to be burning as bright as the eyes of Aulë himself. Your mines delving ever deeper. To what do you credit this new invigoration?
Prince Durin IV: I might ask the same of Lindon. Shipping off its warriors, expanding its cities. Bit sudden for Elves, no? Typically takes you people weeks just to decide to take a sh…

High King Gil-galad: Your loyalty to the Dwarf is admirable.
Elrond: Loyalty to a friend ought to be expected. Regardless of his race.
High King Gil-galad: Does it justify lying to your king?
Elrond: I wonder, High King, if it is in fact you who has been lying to me. I went to Khazad-dûm with a proposal of friendship, but in truth, you sought something far more tangible, didn’t you?

High King Gil-galad: Then you admit the Dwarves did find it. The ore containing the light of the lost Silmaril.
Elrond: I admit only this. I promised Durin never to reveal his people’s secrets.
High King Gil-galad: And what if keeping your promise to his people meant ensuring the doom of your own?

High King Gil-galad: We first took notice of it just prior to Galadriel’s return. We hoped that by sending her away, and so bringing an end to the last vestiges of war, we might arrest the decay. But despite our every effort, our decline has only quickened. The blight upon this tree is but an outer manifestation of an inner reality. That the light of the Eldar, our light, is fading.

High King Gil-galad: I ask again, and for the last time, did the Dwarves find the ore or not?
Elrond: I swore an oath to Durin. To some, that may now hold little weight. But in my esteem, it is by such things our very souls are bound. I do not intend to let mine slip away on the basis of mere hope.
High King Gil-galad: Hope is never mere, Elrond, even when it is meager. When all other senses sleep, the eye of hope is first to awaken, last to shut.

High King Gil-galad: [to Elrond] If the Elves abandon Middle-earth now, the armies of darkness will march over the face of the earth. It will be the end, not just of our people, but all peoples. If the hope of preventing that is not reason enough to make you reconsider your oath, I suggest you find another.

Valandil: I can’t, in good conscience, stake my name recommending you for a duty that you might well decide to abandon.
Isildur: It’ll be different this time.
Valandil: One day, I hope it will be. One day, I hope you find something that you would be willing to sacrifice anything for.

Pharazôn: Perhaps we did act in haste. A kingdom should be led. Not dragged.

Lord Celebrimbor: I am sorry.
Elrond: That the High King deceived me? Or that now our people are doomed unless I break an oath, and betray a friend?
Lord Celebrimbor: I was there, Elrond, the night your father set sail. A mortal man, who believed he could convince the very Gods to come to war in our aid. I heard your mother pleading with him not to go, asking him, imploring him, why must it be him? And do you know what he said? Because he was the only one who could do it.

Galadriel: Help me.
Halbrand: I think I’ve helped you quite enough.
Galadriel: Then help yourself. Stop fighting me, and together, let us fight them.
Halbrand: Not so long ago, men like me were fighting alongside them.
Galadriel: Men like you. Not you, yourself.

Halbrand: You don’t know what I did before I ended up on that raft. You don’t know how I survived. How we all survived. And when these people discover it, they will cast me out. So will you.
Galadriel: Sometimes to find the light, we must first touch the darkness.

Halbrand: What do you know of darkness? Whose dagger was it, Galadriel? Who is it you lost?
Galadriel: My brother.
Halbrand: What happened to him?
Galadriel: He was killed. In a place of darkness and despair. By servants of Sauron. Is that enough for you?

Halbrand: So this is about vengeance?
Galadriel: One cannot satisfy thirst by drinking seawater.
Halbrand: Then what is it? Why do you keep fighting? You are asking me to go to the one place that I swore never to return. The least you can do is tell me why. Why do you keep fighting?
Galadriel: Because I cannot stop.

Galadriel: The company I led mutinied against me. My closest friend conspired with the king to exile me. And each of them acted as they did, because I believe they could no longer distinguish me from the evil I was fighting.

Halbrand: I’m sorry. For your brother. For all of it. I’m sorry.
Galadriel: Your sorrow cannot ease my pain. And nor will a hammer and tongs ease yours. There is no peace to be found for you here. And nor for me. No lasting peace in any path, but that which lies across the sea. I have fought for centuries, seeking to earn mine. This is how you earn yours.

Waldreg: [to Adar] Long have I awaited this day. The day your kind would return at last, lift us up from the muck and the filth, to take our rightful place at your side. I pledge my undying service to you. I pledge my loyalty to Sauron. You are Sauron, are you not?

Theo: Why bother trying to teach me?
Arondir: Because it took me over two hundred years to develop the bravery that’s keeping me standing here tonight. You found it in only fourteen. And we’re going to need it in the fight to come.

Theo: All my life, your kind has watched us. Counting every whisper. Every kitchen knife too sharp. We’re all about to be buried in this tower. So why be buried with us?
Arondir: Because in counting the whispers and the knives, I’ve come to know the voices and the hands of those behind them.
Theo: Half of us just left.
Arondir: But half stayed. Including you.

Arondir: [referring to the broken sword with Sauron’s mark] But whatever his design, this much is certain. Our enemy knows your son has what he needs to enact it.
Bronwyn: How long?
Arondir: Days. Maybe hours.

Arondir: We can survive this, Bronwyn. There is a way. There must be.
Bronwyn: There is one.
Arondir: No! Bow to the enemy, and you take away everything. From your son, and his sons after him. Your people have worked an entire age to earn back their virtue. Would you undo it all in just one moment of despair? There must be another way.
Bronwyn: Name it. I beg you.

Bronwyn: You were right to watch us. Because we are destined for the darkness. It’s how we survive. Perhaps it’s who we are. Who we will always be.
Arondir: There’s far more at stake here than just our lives.

Bronwyn: What power do we have to stop him? Look around. It’s over.
Arondir: Not yet.
Bronwyn: Soon enough. And when they march upon us, this tower will fall.

Elrond: It is not the weight of the table that burdens me.
Prince Durin IV: So why don’t you come out with it?
Elrond: Because a burden shared may either be halved or doubled. Depending on the heart that receives it.

Prince Durin IV: Aulë’s beard! Enough with the quail sauce. Give me the meat, and give it to me raw.
Elrond: I have not been truthful with you, Durin. I did not come to Khazad-dûm for friendship, but ambition. I did not know it. But I came for mithril.

Elrond: [referring to mithril] Without it, my kind must either abandon these shores by spring, or perish.
Prince Durin IV: Perish? Perish how?
Elrond: Our immortal souls will dwindle into nothing, slowly diminishing, until we are but shadows, swept away by the tides of time. Forever.

Prince Durin IV: So the fate of the entire Elven race is in my hands?
Elrond: So it would appear.
Prince Durin IV: Say that again.
Elrond: The fate of the entire Elven race is in your hands.
Prince Durin IV: Whose hands?
Elrond: Yours.

Prince Durin IV: It’s a long journey back. And all this sunlight is starting to give me a sour stomach.
Elrond: Under one condition. Tell Disa the table’s from me.
Prince Durin IV: Don’t push your luck, Elf.

Valandil: Look whose father secured him a post. Again.
Isildur: I earned mine. Same as you.
Captain Elendil: Soldier. Report to the horse master.
Isildur: Thought I was in cavalry.
Captain Elendil: You are. Stable sweep.

Captain Elendil: Clear the lines! Square the sail! We head nor’-east. For Middle-earth.
