 23. The Stairs of Cirith Ungol
[Gollum, Frodo, and Sam climb up the secret stair. Gollum reaches a ledge and looks down at a struggling Frodo.] 
Gollum: "Careful, master! Very far to fall! Very dangerous on the stairs. Come, master! Come to Smagol!" 
[Gollum sees the One Ring around Frodo's neck. He reaches for Frodo.] 
Sam: "Mister Frodo!" 
[Sam draws his sword.] 
Sam: "Get back, you! Don't touch him!" 
[Gollum pulls Frodo up onto the ledge.] 
Gollum: "Why does he hates poor Smagol? What has Smagol ever done to him?" 
[Gollum takes Frodo aside while Sam climbs onto the ledge.] 
Gollum: "Master, Master carries a heavy burden. Smagol knows. Heavy, heavy burden. Fat one cannot know. Let Smagol look after Master." 
Gollum (whispering): "He wants It. He needs It, Smagol sees it in his eyes!" 
Gollum (whispering): "Very soon he will ask you for It! You will see! The fat one will take It from you!"
