Movie quotes

  • (..) It must be taken deep into Mordor... ...and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came. One of you... ...must do this. One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep. The Great Eye is ever-watchful. (..)
