Immediately, Gollum changes his tune when he knows someone's listening, but even now he doesn't listen to Frodo, until: Leaves poor Sméagol and goes with new friends. Come quickly, if you wish to escape death.

Men will kill you, if they find you here. Shortly after this, Frodo attempts to get Gollum to go with him, but Gollum will not at first: He's annoyed that the Hobbits left him only insofar as they took Precious with them. Shown here, Gollum isn't weighing Precious against his friends, the Hobbits. He wished it would stop, and that he never need hear that voice again. Frodo shivered, listening with pity and disgust. So it went on, almost as unceasing as the waterfall, only interrupted by a faint noise of slavering and gurgling. Nasty Men, they'll take it, they'll steal my Precious. Gone and left us, gollum and Precious is gone. White Face has vanished, my precious, at last yes.

The first one occurs in "The Taming of Sméagol" when Frodo and Sam realize it's Gollum who's been following them through the Dead Marshes, and just before Gollum realizes he's been made: The two component monologues come from two completely different scenes. Instead, parts of this monologue are an amalgam of a couple of Gollum monologues in the book, and other parts-like the "leave now and never come back" part-is made up specifically for the adaptation. The implication, given later scenes, is that Gollum does have a legitimate crisis of, and change in conscience while he's helping Frodo and Sam.īut in the book, that's not that case and this monologue never happens as it is. This occurs shortly after Sam and Frodo find Gollum, during a random night on the Marshes. ( dances around, happily) Gone, gone, gone! Smeagol is free! we told him to go away! And away he goes, preciousss. ( Smeagol pants and looks around for Gollum) We. ( fiercely) Where would you be without me? Gollum, Gollum. ( cries, whispering) I hate you, I hate you.
