[Frodo, Sam and Gollum walk along a stream. Gollum trys to catch a fish.]

Sam: "Hey stinker! Don't go getting too far ahead!"

Frodo: "Why do you do that?"

Sam: "What?"

Frodo: "Call him names? Run him down all the time."

Sam: "Because. Because that's what he is Mister Frodo. There's naught left in him but lies and deceit. It's the Ring he wants. It's all he cares about."

Frodo: "You have no idea what it did to him. What is still doing to him. I want to help him Sam."

Sam: "Why?"

Frodo: "Because I have to believe he can come back."

Sam: "You cannot save him, Mister Frodo."

Frodo (angrily): "What do you know about it? Nothing!"

[Sam walks away from Frodo.]

Frodo: "I'm sorry Sam. I don't know why I said that."

Sam: "I do. It's the Ring. You can't take your eyes off it. I've seen you. You're not eating. You barely sleep. It's taking a hold of you Mister Frodo. You have to fight it."

Frodo: "I know what I must to do Sam. The Ring was entrusted to me. It's my task! Mine! My own!"

Sam: "Can't you hear yourself? Don't you know who you sound like?"
