72. The End of All Things
[Frodo and Sam stand on a sinking rock set in the river of lava flowing from Mount Doom. Frodo lets out a sigh of relief.]
Frodo: "It's gone. It's done."
Sam: "Yes, Mister Frodo. It's over now."
[Lava flows around the hobbits.]
[The hobbits fall down as the mountain shakes. Frodo smiles and closes his eyes.]
Frodo: "I can see the Shire… the Brandywine River… Bag End… Gandalf's fireworks… the lights in the Party Tree."
Sam: "Rosie Cotton dancing. She had ribbons in her hair. If ever I was to marry someone, it would've been her."
[Sam starts to cry.]
Sam: "It would've been her."
[Frodo embraces him.]
Frodo: "I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things."
[Three Eagles appear in the sky over Mount Doom. One carries Gandalf.]
[The birds scoop up the hobbits and carry them away.]
