Answer to MWL 1/11/17: Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin) – The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Frodo Baggins: I can’t do this, Sam.
Samwise Gamgee: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. Sometimes you didn’t want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those are the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. They kept going because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?
Sam: That there is some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it’s worth fighting for.

Most excellent, Jules. You will be the finest dressed Hobbit in all of the Shire. π Yea, it took some time but I finally got to them. Now I can stop getting dirty looks like I did whenever I said I hadn’t seen the LotR films.
