Sam: “I wonder if we’ll ever be put into songs or tales.”
Frodo: “What?”
Sam: “I wonder if people will ever say, ‘Let’s hear about Frodo and the Ring.’ And they’ll say ‘Yes, that’s one of my favorite stories. Frodo was really courageous, wasn’t he, Dad?’ ‘Yes, my boy, the most famousest of hobbits. And that’s saying a lot.’“
Frodo: “You’ve left out one of the chief characters – Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam.”
Frodo: “Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam.”
Sam: “Now Mr. Frodo, you shouldn’t make fun; I was being serious.”
Frodo: “So was I.”
“Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam” is one of those memorable poignant lines from the second Lord of the Rings movie. It is poignant because it is a representation of the real hero’s journey.
We love the story of the lone inventor and the fearless leader. In reality, however, they walk in the footsteps of giants before them… and are supported by incredible teams who chose impact over fame.
Frodo wouldn’t have got far without Sam.
