[On the Mountain of Fire, Sam crawls up to Frodo and takes him in his arms.]

Sam: "Do you remember the Shire, Mister Frodo? It'll be spring soon, and the Orchards will be in blossom."

Sam: "And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket and they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields."

[Frodo opens his eyes and stares blindly at Sam.]

Sam: "And eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries?"

Frodo: "No, Sam, I can't recall the taste of food."

Frodo: "Nor the sound of water. Or the touch of grass. I'm naked in the dark. There's nothing… no veil… between me and the wheel of fire! I can see him with my waking eyes!"

Sam: "Then let us be rid of it, once and for all! Come on, Mister Frodo. I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you! Come on!"

[Sam lifts Frodo over his back.]

[Sam staggers up the mountainside, with Frodo on his shoulders.]
