My precious.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Two words hold the whole of Gollum: a love song to the thing that destroyed him. Andy Serkis's split-voiced hiss turned a hobbit pet name into one of cinema's creepiest catchphrases, number 85 on AFI's list of the greatest movie quotes, and fans still use it, half fond and half menacing, for anything guarded far too closely.

Faramir's Rangers have caught Gollum at the Forbidden Pool and dragged him, bound, into their hidden refuge behind the waterfall at Henneth Annûn. Under Faramir's questioning his two halves argue in front of everyone: Sméagol protests while Gollum spits that the filthy little hobbitses stole it from us. When Faramir asks what they stole, Gollum hisses the answer: "My... precious!" Faramir now has every reason to take the Ring to Gondor.
