Eowyn: My Lord! Aragorn! I am to be sent with the women into the caves.

Aragorn: That is an honorable charge.

Eowyn: To mind the children, to find food and bedding when the men return. What renown is there in that?

Aragorn: My Lady, there may come a time for valor without renown. Who then will your people look to in the last defense?

Eowyn: Let me stand at your side.

Aragorn: It is not in my power to command it.

[pause; Aragorn turns to walk away from her]

Eowyn: You do not command the others to stay! They fight beside you because they would not be parted from you! Because they love you.

[Aragorn stops, and she realizes she has said too much]

Eowyn: I am sorry.
