Speaker	Caption
Gandalf
	The year 3434 of the second age.
	Here follows the account of Esildor, the high King of Gondor
	and the finding of the ring of power.
	It has come to me, the one ring, it shall be an heirloom of my kingdom.
	all those who follow in my bloodline shall be bound to its fate.
Denethor
	Since Esildor's fall, Gondor has remained a country without a king.
	Waiting for the day when the legendary heir might return to claim his throne.
Peter Jackson (Director)
	The title 'Return of the King' refers to Aragorn,
	who has been on a journey through the first two movies
	towards his taking of the throne of Gondor.
Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn)
	The line of Kings was thought to have died out a long time ago.
	But there is one surviving heir in that line, and that is Aragorn.
Barrie M.Osborne (Producer)
	When we first meet him, he is a ranger from the north,
	he is a loner who has chosen to live his life isolated from the rest of society.
	Really, because he believes his ancestry had the opportunity to destroy the ring, and failed.
Eolas
	Cast it into the fire !
	Destroy it !
Esildor
	No.
Eolas
	ESILDOR !
Barrie M.Osborne (Producer)
	And so, Aragorn has grown up with this dread,
	with this fear of failure erm, tainting his background.
Arwen
	Why do you fear the past ?
	You are Esildor's heir, not Esildor himself.
	You are not bound to his fate.
Aragorn
	The same blood flows in my veins.
	The same weakness.
Peter Jackson (Director)
	He's not really sure whether men are worthy to inherit the world.
	But there is a realisation that obviously comes, that if it's not men
	And so Aragorn has to really have a belief in the nobility of his own people.
	it's gonna be Orcs, it's going to be something far far worse.
Gandalf
	Understand, things are now in motion that cannot be undone.
	If the ring is destroyed, Sauron will fall.
	But if Sauron regains the ring, his victory will be so complete
	that none can forsee the end of it, while this world lasts.
Aragorn
	He has gone unchallenged long enough.
Barrie M.Osborne (Producer)
	Then he grows through the trilogy to learn that in fact it is up to him
	to pick up the sword that Esildor weilded in his original battle three thousand years ago.
	And bring peace to middle earth.
Christopher Lee (Saruman)
	I think it says a great deal about the ascent of man,
	who appears to be ordinary, but isn't.
	He knows it is his duty, his future.
	It is his destiny to lead the forces of good against the forces of evil.
John Rhys-Davies (Gimli)
	In our dreams we are heroes.
	In our dreams, we would wish to be courageous and noble,
	and dignified, and passionate and strong.
	In our dreams, we aspire to be an Aragorn.
