Eowyn: Your words are poison. Aragorn: You have some skill with a blade. Eowyn: Women of this country learned long ago that those without swords can still die upon them. I fear neither death nor pain. Aragorn: What do you fear, my lady? Eowyn: A cage. To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them and all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire. Aragorn: You're the daughter of kings. A shield maiden of Rohan. I do not think that will be your fate. Eowyn: My Lord. Aragorn. I am to be sent with the women into the caves. Aragorn: That is an honorable charge. Eowyn: To mind the children, to find food and bedding when the men return. What renown is there in that? Aragorn: My Lady, there may come a time for valor without renown. Who then will your people look to in the last defense? Eowyn: Let me stand at your side. Aragorn: I cannot command it. Eowyn: You do not command the others to stay. They stay because they would not be parted from you. Because they love you. I am sorry. Eowyn: How old are you anyways? Aragorn: ... Eowyn: 60?... 70?... 80?... Aragorn: 87 Theoden: I have given order that you shall rule in my stead. Long may you defend Edoras id the battle go there. Eowyn: What other duties would you have me do my lord? Theoden: Duties? I would have you smile again... not grieve for those whose time has come. Aragorn: Eowyn, why have you come? Eowyn: Do you not know? Aragorn: It is but a shadow and a thought that you love. I cannot give you what you seek. Eowyn: Courage, Merry, courage for our friends. Eomer: You should not encourage him. Eowyn: You should not doubt him. Eomer: I do not doubt his heart, only the reach of his arm. Theoden: I know your face... Eowyn. My eyes darken. Eowyn: No, no. I'm going to save you Theoden: You already did... Eowyn. My body is broken. You have to let me go. I go to my fathers, in whose mighty company I shall not now feel ashamed. Eowyn... Eowyn: Westu Aragorn Hál. Theoden: I am happy for you. He is an honorable man. Eowyn: You are both honorable men. Theoden: It was not Theoden of Rohan that led us to victory. Witch King: You fool. No man can kill me. Die. Eowyn: I am no man. Theoden: Eomer. Take your éored down the left flank. Gamling, follow the King's banner down the center. Grimbold, take your company right, after you pass the wall. Forth. Down fear of darkness. Arise. Arise, Riders of Théoden. Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered. A sore day... a red day... ere the sun rises. Eowyn: What ever happens, stay with me. I'll look after you. Theoden: Ride now... Ride now... Ride. Ride for ruin and the world's ending. Theoden: Death. Rohirrim: Death. Eowyn: Ride with me. Merry: My lady. Eowyn: He has just as much reason to go to war as you do. Why can he not defend those whom he loves? |
