About this quote

A rasping, repeated cry delivered by Gollum in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003). The utterance appears in moments when the character reacts to the Ring or shifts between moods, coming out as a strangled, self-directed sound rather than normal speech. What sticks with viewers is the wet, gurgling voice and the echoing repetition in confined, shadowed spaces, which makes the moment eerie and unforgettable.
