They are going to the harbour beyond the White Towers. To the Grey Havens. They're leaving Middle-Earth, never to return. I don't know why ... it makes me sad.

I love that Frodo, a professional lil' shit, is calling out Sauron, a professional hater.

I really hate to side with Gollum on this, but “what’s in my pocket” is not a riddle and should not have counted.

THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RINGS OF POWER (2022 - ) Charles Edwards as Celebrimbor & Charlie Vickers as Sauron 2.08 - Shadow and Flame
No, hear me. Hear me! Shadow of Morgoth. Hear the dying words of Celebrimbor. The Rings of Power shall destroy you. And in the end, I foresee, one alone shall prove your utter ruin!

One interesting thing about Celebrimbor and his legacy in ROP is how he provides a sort of touchstone to both Galadriel and Sauron at the end of s2. Because they will certainly continue to be our main personifications, if you like, of light and darkness, good and evil, throughout the story, and they both took lessons from Celebrimbor at the end, but very different ones.
Galadriel took "It is not strength that overcomes darkness, but light", and we can see how that is indeed going to be her trajectory going forward, highlighted by her looking positively radiant in those last few shots. Yes, she will continue to struggle with her own darkness and ambition, but in the main, she will resist darkness with light.
Meanwhile, the lesson Sauron took away is "True creation requires sacrifice", and we've already seen him feeding his own life-force, represented by his blood, into the making of the Nine. Presumably he's going to take this to the extreme with the forging of the One, to the point where his whole existence is dependant on it. Compared to Galadriel, he's taken a lesson that will just plunge him further and further into darkness.
There's also maybe something to think about regarding which part of Celebrimbor's own psyche these two different refrains come from. When he first says the line about creation and sacrifice, it's when he and Elrond are talking about Fëanor and the Silmarils, one of the prime examples in this universe of the dark side of creation. Coming from Celebrimbor, it's almost like a rationalisation, something to repeat to make sense of the fact that the grandfather he venerates could also be responsible for so much suffering, directly and indirectly. (Treading more into headcanon here, but I can almost imagine this was something the young Celebrimbor heard, either from Curufin or from Fëanor himself, when he wondered why his grandfather was changing, becoming more bitter and suspicious and jealous of the Silmarils.) Even without Sauron putting his own... unique spin on his words, it's a fairly dubious lesson in the first place.
In contrast, his line about light overcoming darkness comes just about at the end of his arc, after he has come through so much mental and physical torment and seen the truth of his own hubris and of Sauron's treachery. He knows he's going to his death, and at the end, that's the lesson he has learned and wishes to pass on to those going on ahead, which makes it feel truer, more representative of who he is himself.

In love with the idea of a younger Tyelpe meeting a Sauron who hasn't yet been humbled by the events at Tol Sirion and Morgoth's defeat.
