“Thirteen months to the day since Gandalf sent us on our long journey, we found ourselves looking upon a familiar sight: We were home.”

In The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003), Frodo Baggins speaks this line as he and the other hobbits finally see the Shire again after their long quest. The moment occurs during a quiet scene where familiar landmarks, including Bag End, come into view. It’s memorable because the plain wording contrasts with everything the characters have been through and signals the end of the story’s arc.
