favorite lines from TT characters

[Morgothian]

My favorite lines from people in TTT are

Aragorn, "theres something strange at work here, some evil gives speed to these creatures sets its will against us".

Legolas, " you would die before your stroke fell".

Gimli " oh... come on we can take them"

Gollum, "murderer"

Frodo, " I cant do this sam"

Sam, his speach at the end.

Saurman "the world is changing, who now has the strenght to stand against the armies of isengard, and mordor. To stand against the might of Sauron and Saurman, and the union of the Two Towers. Together my lord Sauron we shall rule this middle Earth".

Theoden, " where is the horse and the rider, where is the horn that was blowing. They have passed like rain on the mountains, like wind in the medow. The days have gone down in the west, into shawdow".

Gondor ranger "some thousands more come every day".

Pippin, "the closer we are to danger, the farther we are from harm, its the last thing he will expect".

Marry, " There wont be a shire pippin".

Treebeard, " now dont be hasty mater meriadoc"

[Lady Melanie]

My favourite line is when Gimli says " Toss me" and then he says "Don't tell the elf!"
I also like Sams little speech at the end of the movie.

[Lobelia Celebrian]

Morgothian: You chose some really good lines! I agree with you on alot of those, but you forgot Gandalf!!!...


Aragorn: "There is nothing to forgive, Legolas." - "This is a dream." - "Ride out with me and meet them." - "There is always Hope."

Arwen: "There is still Hope."

Legolas: "You would die before your stroke fell!" - "19!" - "You're late." - "We have come this far and you have not led us astray." - "I was wrong to despair."

Gimli: "Keep Breathing."

Haldir: "We've come to honor that alligiance...We are proud to fight alongside Men once more."

Gandalf: "Shadowfax, the Lord of all Horses. And who has been my friend through many Dangers." - "3,000 lives of Men I have walked this earth, and now I have no time." - "Breathe the free air again my friend." - "Theodrid was strong in life, his spirit will find it's way to the halls of your fathers." - "All our hopes now lie with two little Hobbits, somewhere in the wilderness."

Treebeard: "But then again you are very small, perhaps you're right."

Merry: "You're part of this world - aren't you?"

Pippin: "Not this time."

Faramir: "I think we finally understand one another Frodo Baggins."

Gollum: "Smeagol is Free!"

Frodo: "Frodo wouldn't have gotten far without Sam."

Sam: of course, the entire speech at the end about "the folk in those stories".

I think that's all of them. :) -good post!!!

[Ereinion]

Cool quotes!:thumbs: I like:

Faramir - "Were you a friend to Boromir?" - "He was my brother" - "A chanse for Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his quolity"

Theoden - "Where are the horse and the rider..." - "For death and glory!" - "Where is Theodred? Where is my son?"

Aragorn - "Ride out with me!"

Eomer - "What does an Elf, a Man and a Dwarf do in the Riddermark?" - "Not alone!" - "Look for your friends, but do not trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands"

:grin:

[Lobelia Celebrian]

I love the quote of Faramir :::
"Chance for Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his quality"
(I forgot about that one!)

[Ivyetta]

Oohh, those are some good ones everybody, :)....
But let me add.....

Pippin: "...We've got the Shire. Maybe we should go home..."

Merry: "...Our friends are out there. They need our help. They cannot fight this war on their own..."

Frodo: "...I want to hear more about Sam..."

Sam: "...there's still some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for..."


Treebeard: "...My business is with Isengard tonight. With rock and stone...."

.....:)

[Radagast]

He he... i like those to...

The whole script is to be found.. here

http://www.legomirk.com/lotrscript2002/a.html


"He took a little tumble of the cliff" what do you think of that?... I dont know if I like it... do you?...

"Send out your WargWarriors!!!" I like that...

"I come back to you now, at hte turn of the tide"... Mmmm...

[Lady Melanie]

I also like what Theoden says:
"Where is the horse and the rider?"
It is like he is completely desparing which I suppose he was at that point in the battle.

[Ivyetta]

Oohh, I don't like that, "He took a little tumble off the cliff" But, at least he didn't say, "He's splattered on the rocks below" :blush:. Sorry, I shouldn't have said that.....

I love when Gandalf says that, Radagast, :). I also love when he says:

"...Gandalf...yes, that is what they used to call me....Gandalf the Grey. That was my name...."

:) hmm...:)

[Lady Melanie]

roflmao roflmao roflmao
Imagine them saying "He's splattered all over the rocks." I would have burst out laughing in the cinema!!!
lol lol lol

[Radagast]

For those of you who has the PS2 Game... in a movie clip you hear Gandalf say...

"Our only hope now lies in two little hobbits each day bringing the ring closer to Mount doom.... he fears you Aragorn..." something like that.. when i can remember the whole line i will post it... its a great line!!!.... "That two young hobbits each day brings closer to mount doom, has not yet entered there minds..."

[Lady Melanie]

That is a very good line!

[Lady Melanie]

Im adding it to my favourites as well!

[Radagast]

He he... yes in deed.... have you seen the scene were that line is being told?

[Ebony Troublemaker]

Aragorn: "Ride out with me, ride out and meet them.... for Rohan. For your people."

Legolas: "Shall I describe it to you, or would you like me to find you a box?"

Gimli : "We dwarves are natural sprinters. Very dangerous over short distances."

Gollum: "Crule men hurts us, Master tricksed us!"

Frodo: "The Ring will not save Gondor, It has only the power to destroy. Please... let me go."

Sam: "... that there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for."

Saruman: "There will be no dawn for men."

Theoden: "No, my lord Aragorn... we are alone."

Pippin: "Don't talk to it, Merry! Don't encourage it!"

Merry: "But you're part of this world! Aren't you?"

Treebeard: "... creatures I've known from nut and acorn."

Eomer: "Look for your friends, but do not trust to hope... it has forsaken these lands."

Faramir: "Saruman attacks from Isengard. Sauron from Mordor. The fight will come to men on both fronts."

Gandalf: "Shadowfax. He's the lord of all horses and he's been my friend through many dangers."

Eowyn: "Women of this country learned long ago that those without swords can still die upon them. I fear neither death nor pain."

i could go on for a while... but i wont bore you.;)

-miss ebony

[Eomer's Mistress]

"ROHIRRIM!!! . . . To the King!!!"

[Lady Melanie]

Yes i saw it. It looks good!

[Radagast]

He he.,... Cool!!!

[Lady Ashley]

Hmmm...that's hard...I don't think I have a favourite line, just favourite scenes.

Well...I like it when Aragorn says "It will not fall" because that's incredibly ARAGORN-like. A lot of his quotes from TT the book are short sentences like that. It's Aragorn-like...

But I also like Elrond's forsight...just because it's book tho he doesn't say it. (it's sadly beautiful).

But one thing I like to do is overvoice the character with the CORRECT wording. I just did this with TT recently:

MY version. (book)

Gandalf: "Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I did not pass through fire and something to bandy crooked words with a serving man until the lightning falls!"

I overvoice Gandalf while he's saying: "Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I did not pass through fire and something to bandy crooked words with a witless worm."

*grin*

[Radagast]

Gandalf: "Be silent! Keep your forked tongue behind you teeth. I have not passed through fire
and death to bandy gird words with a witless worm!"


roflmao

[Lady Melanie]

"Don't talk to it Merry, don't encourage it!" - Pippin

[Ivyetta]

Oh Pippin, :)....

"....It's talking Merry. The Tree is talking..."

[Radagast]

"What's that?"

The Trees......... a lot of talk... and.......... "Even move!"

[Radagast]

Oh i just remembered a line...

Treebeard "Little Orcs - Burárúm!!!!!" he he i love that roflmao

[Ivyetta]

Oh me too! :p....he he!.....

"....No! You don't understand! We're Hobbits! Halflings! Shirefolk!!....." :)

[Lady Melanie]

"A treeherder, a shepard of the forest." - Merry

[Ivyetta]

.....he he.....

".....Maybe you are. And maybe you aren't......The White Wizard will know....."

"...The White Wizard...."

".......Saruman......."

Ha! That's so fun to do!.....

[Morgothian]

"open war is upon you wether you would risk it or not"

[Ivyetta]

"....Eomer is loyal to you. His Men will return and fight for their King...."

I love that line, :). [And he's so good-lookin there, :blush:].

[Lady Melanie]

"Look for your friends, but do not trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands."

[Radagast]

"We ride north!!"

[Ivyetta]

".....A Hobbit lay here...........and the other...."

Though, I really love when they pick up the chase:

".....Their hands were bound..............Their bonds were cut!....."

[Catz]

ok guys.......this thread is beginning to look like the "quote Along"..........but since this isnt the games forum ;)
dya think we could have a little more than simply repeating lines?
this is after all a discussion forum........so yeah, quote your favourite line...........but then give us some insight as to WHY its your favourite
thank you all
:catz:

[Radagast]

Catz we are just our favorite lines from TT is that not what the thread is called? Its not our fault if for example my favorite lines is .. the whole script.

[Morgothian]

"you have 2,000 good men riding north as we speak"

[Ivyetta]

You go Radagast! :p.....

My favorite line is:

".....Down the hall, fourth door to your left. Enjoy the show...."
...he he he.....

How about....."...Then I shall die as one of them!!"
That was a good one.....That was a good scene, :p....

[Lady Melanie]

Ohhh, I like when Aragorn says "Then I shall die as one of them." His voice is full of emotion, defending the people of Rohan.
"I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide."

[Ivyetta]

"...But it was not the End.......I felt Life in me again...."

Oh I love when Gandalf says that! I love when he returns! It's such a wonderful part, :). The Light; and the looks on each members face. Oh I love how Legolas Greenleaf bowes, notworthy, :)......

[Lady Melanie]

That is a good part when Gandalf returns and breathes his first breath like being born again only more wiser this time.
"I smell it, we are not alone" - Frodo
I like this line because of the fear and disgust in Frodo's voice when he says it!

[Choco Taco]

Sam: It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end... because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back the way it was when so much bad happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing... this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you... that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo... I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't . They kept going... Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding on to Sam?

Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for.

[Radagast]

Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr Frodo, and its worth figthing for....


and its worth figthing for.... my favorite line..

[Lady Melanie]

My favourite line in that speech is: "A new day will come."

[Ivyetta]

In my opinion, I believe that is the best speech of all time, (that I've heard). Though, that may change when The Return of the King comes out, :grin:....

[Radagast]

We can only hope... but yeah that was a really amazing speech... and the way he said it... it was just perfect and you get the feeling of just how dedicated he is as an actor...

[Ivyetta]

Your right, Radagast; the way he said it. He said it like he's really just an innocent little Hobbit in the middle of fire and evil; and that his Master and friend is being "over come" by it, and he's trying to comfort him......with the truth. He said it just like Samwise Gamgee would, :).

"....I think at last we understand one another, Frodo Baggins...."
I've read that a lot of people don't like this line. But I love it. Is there anyone here who likes it as well?.....

[Radagast]

Yes... and indeed it sounds great..... Its worth fighting for.... That line just stays with me...

Notice my signature... That is one of my favorites from Return of the king....
with the other line:... the one Gandalf tells in the preview... something about... Understand, things are now in motion, that cannot be undone (there is alot more)..... I cannot remember the last part... but it really shows how Wise he is... I love it.,...

[Radagast]

Sorry for duble posting... here's my favorite lines from ROTK

Pippin: Is their any hope, Gandalf, for Frodo and Sam?
Gandalf: There never was much hope.. just a fools hope...

Theoden: I will have you smile again, not greeve for those who's time has come.

Aragorn: He has gone unchallenged long enough!

Gandalf: Understand things are now in motion that cannot be undone. If the ring is destroyed Sauron will fall. But if Sauron regains the ring his victory will be so complete, that none can forsee the end of it, while this world Lasts!

Merry to Pippin: We shall live to see the Shire again

Gandalf: The board is set, the pieces are moving, we come to it at last.... The great battle of our time!

Denethor: The words has reached my ears of this Aragarn son of Arathorn, and I tell you now.. I will NOT bow to this ranger from the north....

Theoden: Ride now,... ride for ruin and the worlds ending!!!!!!


I love theese lines....

[Ivyetta]

Thos are wonderful lines, Radagast! Though, I havn't yet read The Return of the King; I'm still on The Two Towers, :grin:...

From The Two Towers book, I love what Samwise says about Frodo:
"...I love him. He's like that, and sometimes it shines through, somehow. But I love him, whether or no..."

Oh Sam...

[Radagast]

Oh, I remember that line from the book Ivyetta!

Another great line from the books is.. about Sam "Is will was set, and only death could brake it"

The other ROTK lines are from the movie... they are cool!

[Ivyetta]

How do know those lines are from the movie, Radagast?? Which movie??

"...I don't think you will find it that way.....It isn't easy to find..."
I love that part in The Two Towers! Pippin really shows his "cleverness" there, ;).

"...For a moment Pippin was silent. Then suddenly in the darkness he made a noise in his throat: gollum, gollum. 'Nothing, my precious,' he added..."

ooh hoo! I wish they would have put that in the movie!...

[Radagast]

He he.. when Pippin says that... its in the cartoon movie by Ralph Bakshi

Ivyetta... I have been one of the fortune't ones who has already seen the movie The Return of the king..... :) no no joking... I heard them in the preview... and you would love them to if you heard them especially

Pippin: Is their any hope, Gandalf, for Frodo and Sam?
Gandalf: There never was much hope.. just a fools hope...

And

Merry to Pippin: We shall live to see the Shire again

and off course... the rest.... they are stunnishing!

[Lady Melanie]

One of my favourite line from the ROTK preview is:
"Don't you understand? The enemy thinks you have the ring. They're coming for you" -Merry
And of course my favourite is:
"Ride now, Ride for Ruin and the World's ending!" That line always sends shivers down my back:ring: :grin:

[Ivyetta]

"I heard them in the preview..."

Oh! Right! The preview! Forgive me, I don't have a DVD, :blush:. Oh I wish I could see it!! Oh well, I'll just have to be patient.....

"...Now, don't be hasty Master Meriadoc..."

"...You are Young and Brave, Master Merry..."

.....:grin:......

[Radagast]

Oh yeah thats right you dont have a DVD.. so you have'nt seen the preview.... man thats tuff' how do you manage?

[Ivyetta]

With Life, ;).....

[Lady Melanie]

I don't know what I would do if I hadn't bought TT and not seen the preview. It left me :o . I really feel for you Ivyetta!:ring:

[Radagast]

yeah me to.... If I were you.. I would at this point suffer from what you could call JTMMD... John Tolkien Massive Mania Disease... Instead of saying "Atjuuuu!!" and sneezing all the time I would start ... speaking Elvish in longer phrases--

Sen breithad vedui vîn, Estel, iôn nîn. Im ingem na dass
be pen o Edain annibin; a si ir anglenna ú-dirin i dhúath-el-lú
vîn i chôth athra Ennor. Gwannathon vi lú thent.”
‘Radagast dhell leitho sen, peded: “Dan pîd calad athan
i-dhúath; ah ae be tan, aníron sa cenithag cha ah glaseb aen.
‘Dan dambent eriol na-linnod hen:
Ónen i-Estel Edain, ú-chebin estel anim.
ah Radagast bant na-ind long. Gilraen gwannant nô i-ethuil dolel.

Wow... I just had a Severe attack.. the only medicine is reading lots and lots of Tolkien... or If you haven't purchased the DVD then do it!!!!!! Oh oh!!! Here comes another one!!!!

A! Laica Lótesse Sie, sie vanima Melinye lúme sina Arwa helwa helleo Arwa helce nénion Hísier Víresseo vanwa Sie vanyave vinya Melinye lótesse Íre aiwi lindar Íre lóti nar rimbe Vanima, melda lúme Ela! Laica Lótesse...

[Ivyetta]

lol...I do have a disease, Radagast! Though, I wouldn't call it a disease, because I'm glad that I have it, and I don't want it to go away, :).

Wow Radagast! All that Elvish! What were you saying? Forgive me, I don't know how to speak Elvish. I really want to learn though.....

"Gilraen gwannant nô i-ethuil dolel."
What does that mean? What does it all mean?

I know that "Mae Govannen" means "Welcome"
And "Namarie" means "Farewell"
And I think that "Neen" (I don't think that's how you spell it, :blush: ) means "Love"........:blush:, ??...

"I really feel for you Ivyetta!"

Thank you, Lady Melanie. That makes me feel much better, :blush:.

[Striderfan]

I would love to learn elvish...I only know the basics and some lines from the movies, but it's such a beautiful language...*sigh*

I love Arwen's line, "there is still hope", it just gives me shivers :whoohoo: , and also Frodo's "There here. They've come." Freaky!! :elfeek: i was watching it at about 2 in the morning once with all the lights off and my parents not at home, and it really scared me!! :hyper: lol

[Morgothian]

My favorite line in the ROTK is during the seige of Minas Tirith.

"Gandalf did not move. And in that very momment , away behind in some courtyard of the city, a cockk crowed. Shrill and clear he crowed, recking nothing of wizardry or war, welcoming only the moring that in the sky far above the shadows of death was coming with the dawn."

[Striderfan]

Ooooo...that's good! :grin: There are just some of those great lines in Tolkien that give you goosebumps and make your eyes widen and your heart ache :efleek:...that's one of them. ;)

One of my favorites is from Fotr, though I can't remember the exact wording, it's when they describe Aragorn saying goodbye to Arwen, taking Frodo's hand at Cerith Amroth (sp? did i get that right? :huh: ) in Lothlorien and leaving the place, never to come there again as a living man :(...makes me want to burst out crying! mecry

[Lady Melanie]

I know what you mean. Tolkien does give you goosebumps! I got goosebumps when Gandalf said:
"So do all who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide. All we must decide is what to do with the time given to us!"

[Striderfan]

That's a GOOD line :grin:...I'm thinking of more, but I don't know the exact wording, I'm bad with things like that :blush:...Oh, I know! :elfeek: I love the line from TTT where Pippin says, " Look! Strider the Ranger has come back!" and Aragorn replies, " He has never been away, I am Strider and Dunadan too, and I belong to both Gondor and the North" :hyper: Great line, just sums up Aragorn comming to terms with his destiny...nice job Mr. Tolkien. :grin:

[Ivyetta]

That is a great part, Striderfan, :). I love the way it says how Aragorn wrappes his grey cloak about him, stretches out his legs, lays back and sends from his lips a thin stream of smoke, :). And how Pippin says that; it gives you a feeling that Aragorn is not quit a king yet.......

[Striderfan]

Yes, the description is SO perfect and gives you such a perfect sense of his character...:grin:...I also really like gollum's line, "Wraiths!! Wraiths on wings!!!" ;) I just re-read that part this afternoon at school, so whenever my friends came up to me I would start yelling, "Wraiths on wings!!!" lol That's another thing about tolkien..so many of his lines are so perfect for quoting...;)

[Evenstar]

and we can't stop quoting them! lol
my favourite favourite line is elrond's lecture to Arwen - 'you will linger on. in darkness and doubt, as nightfall in winter without a star. Here you will dwell, bound to your grief, under the fading trees, until the world is changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent.'

[Lady Melanie]

That reminds me of another favourite line of mine.
"There is still hope." - Arwen

[Arwen_Evenstar]

Well, this is a hard one! I have so many. Well, here we go!;)

Frodo: "This is Sting. You've seen it before, haven't you-- Gollum! Release him or I'll cut your throat!"

Frodo: "The Ring is treacherous. We will hold you to your word."

Aragorn: "Not idly do the leaves of Lorien fall."

Legolas: "A Red sun rises. Blood has been spilled this night."

Èomer: "What business does an elf, a man and a dwarf have in the Riddermark? Speak quickly!"

Pippin: "It's talking Merry. The tree is talking."

Tree: "Tree!! I am no tree! I am an Ent."

Merry: "Treeherder! A Shepherd of the forest."

Pippin: "Don't talk to it Merry. Don't encourage it."


Gollum: "Cold be heart and hand and bone. And cold be travellers far from home. "

Frodo: "He said your life was was a sad story."

Gollum: "They do not see what lies ahead when sun has failed and moon is dead."


Frodo: "You were not so different from a Hobbit once were you? --- Sméagol."

Gandalf: "I am Gandalf the White."
Gandalf: "And I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide."

Gandalf: "The courtesy of your hall is somewhat lessened of late, Théoden King."

Grima: "Late is the hour in which this conjurer chooses to appear. Lathspell I name him.
Ill news is in ill guest."

Gandalf: "Be silent! Keep your forked tongue behind you teeth. I have not passed through fire
and death to bandy gird words with a witless worm!"

Gandalf: "This is but a taste of the terror that Saruman will unleash. All the more potent for he is driven mad
by the fear of Sauron. Ride out and meet him head on. Draw him away from your women and children. You must fight."

Aragorn: "You have 2000 good men riding north as we speak. Èomer is loyal to you.
His men will return and fight for their king."

Aragorn: "Open war is upon you, whether would risk it or not."

Èowyn: "Women of this country learned long ago that those without swords may still die upon them.
I fear neither death nor pain."

Aragorn: What do you fear my lady?"

Èowyn: "A cage. To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them. And all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire."

Aragorn: "Minlû pedich nin, i aur hen telitha."
(You told me once...this day would come.)
Arwen: "Ú i vethed...nâ i onnad. Boe bedich go Frodo. Han bâd lîn."
(This is not the end.
It is the beginning. You must go with Frodo. That is your path.)
Aragorn: "Dolen i vâd o nin."
(My path is hidden from me.)
Arwen: "Ae ú-esteliach nad... estelio han. Estelio ammen."
(If you trust nothing else--
trust this. Trust us.)

Saruman: "A new power is rising. It's victory is at hand."

Saruman: "This night, the land will be stained with the blood of Rohan! March to Helm's Deep! Leave none alive!
To war!!! There will be no dawn for Men."

Elrond: "Whether by the sword or the slow decay of time, Aragorn will die. And there will be no comfort for you.
No comfort to ease the pain of his passing."

Galadriel: " I amar prestar aen, han mathon ne nen, han mathon ne chae a han noston ned 'wilith."
(The world is changed; I can feel it in the water, I can feel it in the earth, I can smell it in the air.)


Gollum: "Rock and pool is nice and cool, so juicy sweeeet. I only wish to catch a fish, so juicy sweeeeet!"


Legolas: Le abdollen."
(You’re late.)
Legolas: "You look terrible."

Aragorn: "All Isengard is emptied."

Théoden: "How many?"

Aragorn: "Ten thousand strong at least."
Aragorn: "It is an army bred for a single purpose: to destroy the world of Men. They will be here by nightfall."

Théoden: "Where is the horse and the rider. Where is the horn that was blowing."
Théoden: "They have passed like rain on the mountains. Like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the west.
Behind the hills, into shadow. How did it come to this."

Gimli: "Come on. We can take them!"
Aragorn: "It’s a long way."
Gimli: "Toss me."
Aragorn: "What?"
Gimli: "I cannot jump the distance so you have to toss me."
Gimli: "Ehh..Don’t tell the elf."
Aragorn: "Not a word."

Aragorn: "Ride out with me."
Aragorn: "Ride out and meet them."

Théoden: "For death and glory?"

Aragorn: "For Rohan. For your people."

Théoden: "Yes. Yes! The horn of Helm Hammerhand shall sound in the deep one last time.

Théoden: "Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath. Now for ruin. And the red dawn!"

Sam: "It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were.
And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to
the way it was when so much bad had happened."

Sam: "But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come.
And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer."

Sam: "Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why.
But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t.
Because they were holding on to something."

Frodo: "What are we holding on to, Sam?"

Sam: "That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for."

Gandalf: "The battle for Middle-Earth is about to begin. All our hopes now lie with two little hobbits. Somewhere in the wilderness."


Whew!! That took a while;). Well those are my fav. quotes!

[Radagast]

Thats alot of lines... but great lines though very great,!

[Ivyetta]

Oh I love that movie!!

[Ivyetta]

I'm currently reading The Two Towers (for the first time); and I just got finished reading the chapter "The Stairs of Cirith Ungol", and, I don't think this is really a "line" but more like a "part", but I really want to mention it, because I love the way it's written and what it means:

"...Sam sat propped against the stone, his head dropping sideways and his breathing heavy. In his lap lay Frodo's head, drowned deep in sleep; upon his white forehead lay one of Sam's brown hands, and the other lay sofly upon his master's breast. Peace was in both their faces..."

That is such a beautiful part. Then when Gollum returns:

"...Gollum looked at them. A strange expression passed over his lean hungry face. The gleam faded from his eyes, and they went dim and grey, old and tired.....and slowly putting out a trembling hand, very cautiously he touched Frodo's knee--but almost the touch was a caress. For a fleeting moment, could one of the sleepers have seen him, they would have thought that they beheld an old weary hobbit, shrunken by the years that had carried him far beyond his time, beyond friends and kin, and the fields and streams of youth, an old starved pitiable thing..."

Oh, that is so sad...."Poor, poor Smeagol"......

That really is a good chapter, actually. It practically has everything: adventure, temporary regret, despair, fear, sadness, then finally hope, and acceptance, love, reminicing, and laughter......and going on.......I cried through the whole thing......

"...Then at a great distance, as if it came out of memories of the Shire, some sunlit early morning, when the day called and doors were opening, he heard Sam's voice speaking. "Wake up, Mr. Frodo! Wake up!" Had the voice added: "Your breakfast is ready," he would hardly have been surprised...".

[Lady Luthien]

"If Aragorn survives this war, You will still be parted. If Sauron is defeated and Aragorn made king and all that you hoped for comes true... you will still have to taste the bitterness of mortality. Whether by the sword or the slow decay of time, Aragorn will die. And there will be no comfort for you, no comfort to ease the pain of his passing. He will come to death. An image of the splendor of the kings of men in glory, undimmed before the breaking of the world. But you, my daughter, you will linger on, in darkness and in doubt. As night falling winter has come without a star. Here you will dwell, bound to you grief, under the fading trees, until all the world has changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent. Arwen... there is nothing for you here, only death."

I dont know why this is my favorite line, or group of lines, I should say. I think its just because it was so beautifully written, so dramatic and bitter-sweet, and it was well spoken by Hugo Weaving as Elrond.

"...I had the loveliest dream last night; there was a large barrel, full of pipeweed, and we smoked all of it! And then......you were sick.......I'd give anything for a wiff of Old Toby!..."

[Ioreth's sister]

"For Gondor. For Gondor. For Gondor."

Hey, it's not the words. It's the way that Boromir says them.

What a great character! And what a great acting job!

I have always thought that TTT was just a little bit inferior to FOTR. Now I know why. It's the absence of Sean Bean from the second movie that makes the difference. I'm glad to get a little bit of him back in the EE.

[Lady Cele]

"Remember today, little brother". When Boromir watches the banner and then looks down on Faramir...does me in everytime. Had to add that to my sig!

[Naru`vatar]

My favorites:

Aragorn: She`s sailng to the undying lands with all thats left of her people.

Legolas: Come Gimli! Were gaining on them!
Legolas: You would die before your strike fell
Legolas: Shall i describe it for you....or would you like me to find you a box?
Gimli: Bring your pretty face to my axe!
Gimli: That one counts as mine!
Gimli: Stinkin creature
Gimli: You could have picked a better spot (The best of all lines)
Gimli: Lets hope they last for the night
Gimli: Il let no pointy-ear score me!

[Boromir_III]

Funny, those are in my opinion the worst lines in the movie. ;)

[Elendur]

a thread for people to share what they thought was their favourite lines in the movie.. if you do not have anything constructive to add Boromir.. then it is not worth posting.

I liked Brad Dourff's wheedling around with Eoywn.. he worked so hard and her "your words are poison" was quite a major put down!!
Aragorns" Open war is upon you whether you like it or not" should have been obvious to anyone but Theoden.. but he was the man who gave us the immortal " I know how to defend my own keep".. not..... so we can forgive him for being a little slow!

[Ivyetta]

"...He was twitching..."

"...He was twitching cause he's got my axe embedded in his nervous system!..."

[Periantari Andruil]

King THeoden is da Man!

"If this is to be our end, then I would have them make such an end as to be worthy of remembrance." at Helm's Deep talking with Aragorn...

i just loove the way he says it =) I can't wait to see Theoden rally the Rohirrim in RotK!! :whoohoo:

[nickk4]

Every single line is GREAT!!!! (Well...almost)
But my favourite is this: (look signature!) :o
Other Great lines:
"A new power is rising! It's victory is at hand!"
"You are tracking the foot steps of two yaoung Hobbits..."
"I am Gandalf the White ... and I come back to you now ... at the turn of the tide"
"Late is the hour on which this conjurer choses to appear. Lathspell I name him..."
And the list goes on and on...

[Faramir]

When Saruman says "TO WAAAAAAR!!" and his voice just sounds hillarious. It sounds like "To Woooaaaaahh!!"

[Lady Cele]

"Remember today, little brother" ~ Boromir

[EyeOfMordor]

I have to say that some of the best lines in the movie are in the Extended Edition. The thing I disliked about TTT is that in FOTR, almost all the scipt was from Tolkien, right outa the books, or very close, but in TTT it seemed that whoever wrote the script thought they were better writers than Tolkien, and very few of the really good quotes from TTT were in the movie, exactly where they should be. But the extended version totally made up for that. Tons of great lines from the books. Here's some of my favorites, from both the theatrical and the extended (no particular order):

- Theoden's "horse and the rider" speech.

- Sam's speech at the end, although I do have a few complaints about it. It is from the books (paraphrased) but it was much better where tolkien placed it, IMO. I like how JRR put it right before shelob's lair, in such a terrible place, and yet simple joys and memories of home overcame the terrible fear that must have been on them. In the movie, it's a good line, but after something good happens. In the books, it's that discussion between frodo and sam that lifts the fear. I love how it says about how frodo laughed, heedlessly of the walls that seemed to be listening, and it was the first time that anything like it had ever been heard since sauron came to mordor. That was truly amazing... Also, in the movie, the way sam ends it with "that there's some good in this world... and it's worth fightin' for." Just doesn't seem very tolkien. Sounds more like a patriotic high school pep rally to me... kinda killed the great speech in my opinion. But then, I'm pretty picky. And I did like it as a whole. I always get goosebumps watching that part. "A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer."

- In the SE when Gandalf says "I am Sauruman. Sauruman as he should have been." and "the coming of merry and pippin will be like the small stones that starts an avalange." or something like that. Also when he is talking to Aragorn on the way to Edoras "that we should seek to destroy it has not even entered their darkest dreams." Gandalf has so many good lines...

- in the SE when Faramir captures Frodo and Sam, and he looks at the dead man, and wonders whether he was really evil, or was decieved or forced into taking that long journey from home... although I liked it better in the books when Sam thought it. It seemed more fitting for Sam. I also like when he shows them to the sewers, and says "the shire must be a wonderful place, where gardeners are held in high honor."

- when sam says "his gardener."

- Gimli - "Bless you laddy!" the only 'funny' line that I didn't despise. also, "what madness drove them there", just because it's probably the only sane thing he says in the whole movie.

there were more that I liked but I can't quite think of them now...

[SunArcher]

"The Storm is Coming , But the Tide Has Turned"-Gandalf

[Shazzle]

I just love the Faramir/Sam interaction too.
Frodo: And this is Samwise Gamgee
Faramir: Your bodyguard?
Sam: His gardener!
The look on Sams face is fantastic!

Another favourite scene is in Meduseld after Aragorns return. Theoden striding down the hall saying "Let them come" and of course the whole "Where is the horse and rider...." and then "How did it come to this". I will admit to getting teary in that scene

Theoden at Helms Deep:
"So it begins!"
"What can man do against such reckless hate!"

[Lady Cele]

Eomer: "Not alone. Rohirrim! To the King!"

Eomer: "Stay away from the trees!"

Eomer: "Far too long have you watched my sister. Far to long have you haunted her footsteps."

Thats probably one of my favorite scenes as well when the Rohirrim come charging down that hill with Gandalf. You couldn't tell that Eomer had to be my favorite character, now could you...lol lol lol

[Shazzle]

Ohh yes. Had forgotten the "watched my sister" bit. That was very well done - even down to the gritted teeth :)

[Lady Cele]

"Look for your friends but do not dare to hope. It has forgotten these lands. We ride North!" ~ Eomer

Eomer doesn't have a great deal of screen time so I am looking forward to the EE of ROTK with great anticipation....hopefully there will be lots more of him in it...:grin:

[Shazzle]

"I would cut off your head Dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground" That line still cracks me up even after seeing it for the umpteenth time :)

[My Preciousss]

"Not listening, NOT LISTENING!" --Smeagol to Gollum

[Nienna]

Ok. My favourite:

*Gollum: Don't follow the lights!

*Gandalf: The courtesy of your hall is somewhat lessened of late, Theoden King

*Theoden: I know your face.

*Galadriel: In the gathering dark, the will of the Ring grows strong. It works hard now to find
its way back into the hands of men. Men, who are so easily seduced by its power. The young captain of Gondor
has but to extend his hand to take the Ring for his own and the world will fall. He is close now, so close to
achieving his goal

*Faramir: The Ring will go to Gondor

*Theoden: How many?
Aragorn: Ten thousand strong at least.
Theoden: Ten-thousand?!
Aragorn: It is an army bred for a single purpose: to destroy the world of Men. They will be here by nightfall
Theoden: Let them come

*Aragorn: Dago hon, Legolas!

*Theoden: Who am I, Gamling?

*Faramir: Then it is forfeit. Release them

*Theoden: Forth Eorlingas!

*Theoden: So it begins.

And many, many more...but I don't have enough time and characters in my message to write all my fave lines. ;)
