[Farther away, Sméagol is crawling, fighting with Gollum again.]

Sméagol: "Master — Master looks after us. Master wouldn't hurt us."

Gollum: "Master broke his promise!"

Sméagol: "Don't ask Sméagol. Poor, poor Sméagol."

Gollum: "Master betrayed us! Wicked, tricksy, false! We ought to ring his filthy little neck!"

Gollum: "Kill him! Kill him! Kill them both. Then we take the Precious and we be the master."

Sméagol: "But the fat hobbit. He knows. Eyes always watching."

Gollum: "Then we stabs them out. Put out his eyses. And make him crawl."

Sméagol: "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

Gollum: "Kill them both."

Sméagol: "Yes! No. No. It's too risky, it's too risky."

Sam: "Where's he gone? Oi Gollum, where are you?"

Frodo: "Sméagol!"

Gollum: "We could let her do it."

Sméagol: "Yes. She could do it."

Gollum: "Yes, Precious she could. And then we takes it once they're dead."

Sméagol: "Once they're dead. Hush!"

[Gollum comes out from behind a tree.]

Sméagol: "Come on, hobbits. Long ways to go yet. Sméagol will show you the way."

Gollum: "Follow me."

[The hobbits follow Gollum.]

[It is revealed what lies ahead: Mount Doom and Barad-Dûr, being circled by flying Nazgûl.]
