Éomer: “Yes, my lord.”
Théoden: “Gamling, follow the King’s banner down the center. Grimbold, take your company right, after you pass the wall. Forth, and fear no darkness!”
Théoden: “Arise! Arise! Riders of Théoden! Spears shall be shaken, shields shall be splintered! A sword-day! A red day, ere the sun rises!”
[Orcs prepare for the ride of the Rohirrim.]
Éowyn (to Merry): “Whatever happens, stay with me. I will look after you.”
[Théoden rides up and down the lines, rattling his sword along the row of spears.]
Théoden: “Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for ruin and the world’s ending!”
Théoden: “Death!”
Rohirrim: “Death!”
Théoden: “Forð Eorlingas!”
[Rohirrim horns sound the charge.]
[The Rohirrim begin to move out.]

Gave me a chill. Best part of the whole Trilogy.
