Sam
- Sam: I made a promise, Mr Frodo. A promise. "Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee." And I don't mean to. I don't mean to.
- Sam: This is it.
- Frodo: This is what?
- Sam: If I take one more step, it'll be the farthest away from home I've ever been.
- Frodo: Come on, Sam. Remember what Bilbo used to say: "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to."
- [Gandalf snatches Sam, who was sneaking around]
- Gandalf: Confound it all, Samwise Gamgee. Have you been eavesdropping?
- Sam: I ain't been droppin' no eaves sir, honest. I was just cutting the grass under the window there, if you'll follow me.
- Gandalf: A little late for trimming the verge, don't you think?
- Sam: I heard raised voices.
- Gandalf: What did you hear? Speak.
- Sam: N-nothing important. That is, I heard a good deal about a ring, and a Dark Lord, and something about the end of the world, but... Please, Mr. Gandalf, sir, don't hurt me. Don't turn me into anything... unnatural.
- Rose 'Rosie' Cotton: Good night, lads.
- Sam, Frodo: Good night.
- Ted Sandyman: [kneels before Rosie] Good night, sweet maiden of the golden ale.
- Sam: Oi, mind who you're sweet talking!
- Frodo: Don't worry Sam, Rosie knows an idiot when she sees one.
- Sam: ...does she?
- Sam: [of Gandalf] They should do a bit about his fireworks. The finest rockets ever seen burst in colors of blue and green, then after that were silver showers that came falling like a rain of flowers. Oh no, that doesn't to them any justice.
- Sam: [starts to panic] Mister Frodo? Frodo! Frodo!
- [Frodo emerges from the bend in the path, looking puzzled]
- Sam: I thought I'd lost you.
- Frodo: What are you talking about?
- Sam: It's just something Gandalf said.
- Frodo: What did he say?
- Sam: 'Don't you lose him Samwise Gamgee!' And I don't mean to.
- Frodo: [amused] Sam, we're still in the Shire. What could possibly happen?
- [Suddenly, Pippin bursts from the cornfield and knocks over Frodo. Merry, close behind, barrels out, knocking over Sam. Both have an armful of vegetables]
- Pippin: Frodo? Merry! It's Frodo Baggins.
- Merry: Hello Frodo!
- Sam: Get off him!
- [hauls Pippin off Frodo]
- Sam: Frodo? Are you all right?
- Pippin: What's the meaning of this?
- Merry: Hold this.
- [hands vegetables to Sam]
- Sam: You've been into Farmer Maggot's crop!
- [They hear a dog barking and an angry, yelling voice. Pippin grabs Frodo and runs, followed by Merry. Sam does a double take on the produce in his hands, drops them and runs after the others]
- Farmer Maggot: [brandishing a scythe] OI! Maggots! You get back here! Wait till I get on this to you! GET OUT OF MY FIELD! You'll know the devil if I catch up with you!
- Merry: 'Dunno why he is so upset. It's only a couple of carrots!
- Pippin: And some cabbages. And those few bags of potatoes that we lifted last week and, and the mushrooms the week before!
- Merry: Yes Pippin! My point is, he is clearly overreactin'. Run!
- [Pippin, Frodo and Merry stops just before the edge of the hill. Sam slams into them from behind and all four hobbits roll down the hill]
- Pippin: Ooh! That was close
- Merry: Ow! I think I've broken something.
- [pulls out a broken carrot]
- [extended edition; the Fellowship sits around a campfire at night; Boromir spies a shadowy figure floating along the river]
- Aragorn: Gollum. He's tracked us since Moria.
- [Gollum disappears behind some rocks]
- Aragorn: I had hoped we'd lose him on the river, but he's too clever a waterman.
- Boromir: And if he alerts the enemy to our whereabouts, it'll make the crossing even more dangerous.
- Samwise "Sam" Gamgee: Have some food, Mr. Frodo.
- Frodo Baggins: No, Sam.
- Samwise "Sam" Gamgee: You haven't eaten anything all day, and you're not sleeping neither. Don't think I haven't noticed.
- [sits next to him]
- Samwise "Sam" Gamgee: Mr. Frodo.
- Frodo Baggins: I'm all right.
- Samwise "Sam" Gamgee: No, you're not. I'm here to help you. I promised Gandalf that I would.
- Frodo Baggins: [sadly looks Sam in the eye] You can't help me, Sam.
- [shakes his head]
- Frodo Baggins: Not this time.
- Peregrin "Pippin" Took: What's that?
- Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck: This, my friend, is a pint.
- Peregrin "Pippin" Took: It comes in pints?
- Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck: Mmm!
- Peregrin "Pippin" Took: I'm getting one.
- Samwise "Sam" Gamgee: You've got a whole half already!
