---Doorwardens of Isengard: No known additions
***Voice of Saruman: Presumably, Saruman will fall from Orthanc carrying the palantir. [PJ interviews] “Theoden, we've been friends of old…'Can we not be friends? Can we not have peace?” ”We will have peace.” Everybody looks at him. “'We will have peace when you pay for the boys whose bodies were hewn as they lay against the gates of the Hornburg. When they are avenged. And then when you hang from a jibbet for the sport of your own crows, we will have peace.'” Then Wormtongue appears and forgives him. “Grima, Grima - come down. You weren't always like this. Once you were a man who served me well. Leave this poison.” [Hill’s CHUD interview]

---Gollum’s Plotting: No known additions
---Pippin and the Palantir: No known additions
---Council in Meduseld: “If the ring is destroyed, Sauron will fall and his fall will be so low that none will see his arising ever again… but if Sauron regains the ring, his victory will be swift and complete. Things are now in motion that cannot be undone. Sauron has looked into the face of young Peregrin Took and mistaken him for the Ringbearer.” – [Photoguide, DVD preview] “He has gone unchallenged long enough.” [DVD preview] “The Eye of the Enemy will be turned this way – he will send for Pippin.” [Topps]
---Departure of Pippin: “We shall see the Shire again.” [Trailer]; Merry and Aragorn speak on the turret: “Where are they going?” “Pippin will be alright. Gandalf is taking him to the safest place in all of Middle-Earth, to the city of Minas Tirith. No army of Sauron has ever crossed the Anduin, not while the men of Gondor have held the passage of the river” [Topps, Photoguide]; “He knows not to what end he rides, yet if he knew, he would still go on.” [Visual Companion]. This ambiguous quote is supposed to be concering hobbits – could have been spoken elsewhere in the film.
---Arwen’s Return: “You have given away your life’s grace. I cannot protect you anymore” [Trailer]; Arwen stands on a bridge [Trailer]; “Give him the sword of the king.” [Trailer]; Arwen reads about the Oathbreakers (she drops the book) and realizes that that is the path Aragorn must take [Set report]
---Minas Tirith: “Gandalf, why are they guarding a dead tree?” Gandalf explains that they guard it in hopes that the waning rule of Gondor may one day flourish again. [Photoguide] “What did they bring, the kings of old, over the Sundered Sea, seven stars and seven stones and one white tree.” [Visual Companion]
---First Meeting With Denethor: No known additions
---Gandalf’s Balcony: “Mordor. This city has ever dwelt in sight of that shadow.” [Visual Companion] “We’ve run out of time!” [TV Spot] “Sauron has hated the West for many ages. It is a hatred that flows from the depths of time and across the deeps of the sea.” [ADR notes]
---Minas Morgul Erupts: “The most fell of all his captains. His own folk quail at him and would slay themselves at his bidding.” [Visual Companion] “That accursed valley fell into evil a very long time ago.” [Visual Companion]
---Gothmog Crosses the Delaware: No known additions
---The War Beacons: No known additions
---Rohan Rallies For Gondor: “I have a sword. I offer you my service, Theoden King.” “Gladly shall I receive it – you shall be Meriadoc, esquire of Rohan and ride with me.” Merry pledges service [Trailer, Photoguide, National Geographic]; Perhaps a scout from Gondor comes to Edoras because this line was originally in: “Say to Denethor that in this hour the King of the Mark himself will come down to the land of Gondor, though he may not ride back.” This could have something to do with Denethor cursing Theoden for betraying him [Visual Companion]; A close-up, slo-mo shot of Legolas and Gimli riding with the Rohirrim [Trailer]
---The White Rider: “Treachery. Treachey I fear of that miserable creature!” Faramir explains to Gandalf that Gollum guides Frodo. [Visual companion]
***On the Prow: There are shots of Gandalf and Pippin overlooking Mordor at night while standing on the very tip of the prow of Minas Tirith. Some of the above dialogue could have taken place during that scene. [Trailer] At Minas Tirith, Gandalf and Pippin look toward the jagged, saw tooth Mountains of Mordor as a great black cloud streams slowly towards the west. “This is not the weather of the world,” Gandalf tells his young friend. “It is some device of Sauron’s malice; some broil of fume from the Mountain of Fire that the Dark Lord sends ahead of his host.” [Topps]
---Planting Seeds of Mistrust on Cirith Ungol: No known additions
---Father and Son: Denethor becomes furious that Faramir let the Ring and Frodo go. “Boromir would have remembered his father’s need. He would have brought me a kingly gift” [Photoguide]; “Boromir was loyal to me and no wizard’s pupil.” [Visual Companion]; “Why is your father so angry; I would help if I could.” “There is nothing you can do.” Faramir and Pippin bond [AICN Set report]; Although their meeting is brief, Pippin and Faramir become friends at Minas Tirith. Impressed with the Hobbit’s loyalty and willingness to fight, Faramir gives him his old armoured uniform, a childhood memento. [Weapons book, Topps]
---Smeagol and Gretel (Bread Crumbs): No known additions
---Faramir’s Charge: "Faramir… Faramir… Your Father’s will has turned to madness and evil. Do not throw your life away so rashly" "Where does my allegiance lie if not here. This is the city of the men of Numenor. I will gladly give my life to defend her beauty, her memory, her wisdom." "Your father loves you Faramir… he’ll remember it before the end" [AICN set report]
---Witch King’s Army Advance on Minas Tirith: “Courage will now be your best defense against the storm that is at hand.” [Visual Companion]
---Encampment at Dunharrow: No known additions
---A Visitor in the Night: Before departing for the Paths of the Dead, Aragorn touches Eowyn’s face [Trailer]; “This is your road. Every path you have trod, through wilderness, through war, has led you to this. Become who you were born to be.” [Trailer]
---Shelob’s Lair: “There is something worse than Gollum about. I feel something looking at us.” [Visual Companion] “Long has she been hungry, lurking in her den.” [Visual Companion] These lines don’t seem to fit, so it might be a late change or come later in the film.

---Rallying the Defenders: A baby battering ram is used and orcs using it are slaughtered by archers. Gothmog calls for Grond. [Trailer, Weapons book]

***Pelargir: Aragorn falls to his knees (Legolas comforts him) in disappointment, perhaps he thinks the Dead chose not to follow him. [Trailer]; “The dead are following. I see shapes of men and horses, and pale banners like shreds of cloud, and spears like winter-thickets on a misty night.” [Visual Companion]; There is a confrontation with the Corsairs [PJ interview]
---Grond: No known additions
---The Pyre of Faramir: No known additions
---Sting of Shelob: No known additions
---Choices of Samwise: “I have something to do before the end. I must see it through” [Visual Companion].

***Confrontation on the Third Level: The Witch King confronts Gandalf and breaks his staff [DVD preview, Weapons book]. “… when Pippin races to the great Wizard for help in thwarting Denethor’s mad plan to burn Faramir alive on a funeral Pyre. Rushing to help Faramir, Gandalf is besieged by the airborne Witch-King. It is a mighty confrontation, one from which the mighty warrior-wizard emerges victorious.” [Topps]

---The Last Debate: “He has gone unchallenged long enough.” [DVD preview] “Either Frodo destroys the ring, or we face Sauron’s victory.” [TV Spot] “The ring will come to him sooner or later. Even now he is hunting for it.”[ADR notes] “We’ve run out of time.” [TV spot]
***Aragorn Uses the Palantir: “Sauron will suspect a trap and not take the bait.” “Oh, I think he will” [Script excerpt]; “You alone have the power to wrench it to your will. Sauron will find that hard to endure.” [Topps] Alone in the Hall of Kings, Aragorn approaches the empty throne [DVD preview] and uses the Palantir to distract Sauron and Sauron responds by crushing the Evenstar. In the film, we see a glimpse of the Evenstar shattering on the floor of the Hall of Kings in Aragorn’s Dunharrow dream. This is a scene that may be troublesome to reinsert (according to Selkirk) because it had been reduced and edited into earlier scenes for the theatrical release.
---Departing Minas Tirith: Aragorn is dressed in his kingly armor. [DVD preview]
***Marching with Orcs: Frodo and Sam are recruited by a company of orcs [PJ interview, photoguide];
***Arwens Last Wish: Arwen hugs her father from the ‘sick bed’[Trailer]. This scene is described in the Photoguide as coming near the end (after Sauron crushes the Evenstar). In it she says her lines about “wishing to see him one last time. This scene was broken apart and re-edited into earlier scenes – making reinsertion difficult (as mentioned by Selkirk).
