Maybe Gollum speaking to Frodo just before Shelob's Lair:

My treachery leads to your great deeds, - it was Gollum's treachery as he first stole the Ring from Deagol that eventually lead to Frodo's great deeds
I've broken your family, then protected you from harm. - it was because of him that Bilbo found the Ring and was changed by it
Because of me you safely escaped, because of me you had to. - with Gollum's help Frodo managed to get so far, but because of Gollum he faced many dangers as well
My protection lasts only tonight. - makes sense, since next morning they reached Shelob's Lair and Gollum had made up his mind about Frodo's fate
