In that version, when the last boat was leaving at Grey Havens, a different scene played out. As Elrond is about to step on the boat Galadriel holds up her hand saying "Not so fast, Elrond. You had the chance to end the threat of the darkness at Mount Doom when the will of men failed. One 'this is Sparta!' kick would have save 3000 years of Sauron's dark influence, saved the corruption of Sauromon the White, saved the fall of Osgilath. You stay here and reap what you sowed."

Turning her attention she spoke again "Samwise Gamgee, you did what we, the mighty Elves, could not. Come with us and Master Bilbo, depart Middle Earth with us for a better place."
