Lórien

The fellowship enters Lórien and meet Galadriel

Aragorn:
Legolas, get them up!
Boromir:
Give them a moment, for pity's sake!
Aragorn:
By nightfall these hills will be crawling with orcs! We must reach the woods of Lothlorien. Gimli, Legolas, get them up! On your feet, Sam. Frodo?
Frodo:
has drawn away from the rest, tears spill down his face
Aragorn:
jogs across a stream to see Lothlorien in the distance
--After some travel, they enter Lothlorien.--
Gimli:
Stay close, young hobbits. They say a great sorceress lives here, an elf-witch of terrible power. All those who look upon her fall under her spell, and are never seen again.
Galadriel:
Frodo. Your coming is as the footsteps of doom. You bring a great evil here, Ringbearer.
Gimli:
Well, this is one dwarf she won't ensnare so easily! I have the eyes of a hawk, and the ears of a fox!
--Suddenly, they are all surrounded by elves with drawn bows.--
Haldir:
The dwarf breathes so loudly we could have shot him in the dark.
Aragorn:
Haldir o Lorien. Henio, aniron, boe ammen dulu lin. Boe ammen veriad lin.
Gimli:
Aragorn, these woods are perilous! We should go back!
Haldir:
You have entered the realm of the Lady of the Wood. You cannot go back. Come. She is waiting.
--They enter the elf city in the trees, are brought before Celeborn and Galadriel.--
Celeborn:
Eight there are here, but nine there were set out from Rivendell. Where is Gandalf, for I much desire to speak with him.
Galadriel:
He is fallen into shadow. The quest stands on the edge of a knife, stray but a little and it will fail, to the ruin of all. Yet hope remains as long as the company is true. Do not let your hearts be troubled. Go now, and rest, for you are weary with toil and much sorrow. Tonight you shall sleep in peace. (per telepathy to Frodo:) Welcome, Frodo of the Shire, one who has seen the Eye.
