...and so Sam struggled on as best he could, having no guidance but the will to climb as high as might be before his strength gave out and his will broke.
-"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", by J.R.R. Tolkien
A scene that probably is a favorite for many; one that epitomizes more than any other the power of friendship; and in my opinion, Sam's most heroic moment.
It brings me back to the first film, when Saruman mocked Gandalf for thinking hobbits could ever contend with the will of Sauron. This scene proves that Gandalf was right, and Saruman wrong: in their own way, the willpower of hobbits IS strong enough to shake the foundations of evil itself.
