Gollum/Smeagol: We wants it. We needs it. Must have the precioussss. They stole it from us. Sneaky little hobbitsesss. Wicked, trickssssy, falssse! No! Not Master. Yes, precious. False. They will cheat you, hurt you, lie. Master’s my friend. (taunting) You don’t have any friends. Nobody likes YOU... Not listening. Not listening. You're a liar and a thief. (shaking his head) Nope. Mur...derer...! (starts to cry and whimper) Go away. Go away! (cackles) Hahahahaha! (cries, whispering) I hate you, I hate you. (fiercely) Where would you be without me? Gollum, Gollum. I saved us. It was me. We survived because of me! (resolute) Not anymore. (surprised) What did you say? Master looks after us now. We don’t need you. What? Leave now and never come back. No!!! (louder) Leave now and never come back! (bares teeth, growling) Arghhhh! LEAVE NOW AND NEVER COME BACK. (Smeagol pants and looks around for Gollum) We... we told him to go away! And away he goes, preciousss. (dances around, happily) Gone, gone, gone! Smeagol is free!
