Gollum's Plan (The Lord of the Rings-The Two Towers)

Gollum has gone ahead. Frodo and Sam cannot see him through the trees

FRODO: Smeagol?

SAM: We're not going to wait for you. Come on.

Gollum is stumbling along ahead of them on all fours

SMEAGOL: Master. Master looks after us. (he sobs) Master wouldn't hurt us.

GOLLUM: Master broke his promise.

SMEAGOL: Don't ask Smeagol. Poor, poor Smeagol.

GOLLUM: Master betrayed us. Wicked. Tricksy. False. (he grabs a tree branch) We ought to wring his filthy little neck.
(he wrings the branch with his hands)
Kill him! Kill him! Kill them both! (he gestures grabbing the Ring) And then we take the precious......and we be the master!

SMEAGOL: (looks round from a tree trunk) But the fat Hobbit, he knows. Eyes always watching.

GOLLUM: (looking round the other side of the trunk) Then we stabs them out. Put out his eyeses and make him crawl.

SMEAGOL: Yes. Yes. Yes.

GOLLUM: Kill them both.

SMEAGOL: Yes. (suddenly afraid) No! No! (he backs himself against a tree) It's too risky. It's too risky.

Sam and Frodo appear through the trees

SAM: Where is he? Where has he gone? Hey, Gollum! Where are you?

FRODO: Smeagol?

GOLLUM: We could let her do it.

SMEAGOL: Yes. She could do it.

Frodo and Sam begin searching for Gollum

GOLLUM: Yes, precious, she could. And then we takes it once they're dead.

SMEAGOL: Once they're dead. (he holds his finger up to his lips) Ssssssssssssssh!

Gollum comes out from behind the tree

SMEAGOL: Come on, Hobbits. Long ways to go yet. (he gestures to them to follow and crawls off) Smeagol will show you the way.

GOLLUM: Follow me.

The hobbits follow Gollum.

This may be the best line in all 3 parts. It leaves the Two Towers with a true feeling of uneasiness and that something big is going to go down later.

This movie just came out over 20 years ago and still to this day, Gollum/Smeagol looks fantastic. With Andy Serkis doing a phenomenal job in not just the voice acting, but the fact that he did all the movements himself and then having them reanimate him as Gollum. No wonder Gollum won an award for this movie.

I also love that they did this entire scene in a one shot motion. I can only imagine if Serkis had to do some practicing before acting out this entire scene.

Gave me chills when I saw the ending and made me anticipate the sequel so bad

In the books he leaves the hobbits on the stairs and talks to Shelob.

Did smeagol ever have this internal fight about being good or evil in the book?
