[Nessa GreenLeaf]

what is your favorit quote from LOTR?

you can put as many as you want:p

Rock On:rock:

[Tar-Vanimelde]

"Shall I describe it for you? Or would you like me to find you a box?"

Friendly banter in the middle of a battle- a perfect reminder of what they were fighting for. And, of course, Legolas' smile as he says it makes it that much more memerable ;)

#Vani

[Lidless Eye]

Thats hard, but my absolute favorite quote is

"That gangrel creature, he had an ill favored look."
by the one and on only Faramir!!! :loveyou:

[ImDaMom]

Love the box quote

Faves (in no particular order)
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us
It's good (the stew scene- just the way its said with that little catch in his throat)
Stupid fat hobbit
Taters? What's taters, precious
For Frodo
My Friends, you bow to no one
I can't carry it, but I can carry you
It comes in pints?
He's not alone. Sam went with him.
Let's hunt some orc.
I never thought I'd die next to an elf. How about a friend? That I can do.
There is always hope
You have my sword
I do not fear death
Gandalf's whole speech to Pippin about death
I'll think of more. BAsically, the whole script is my fave.

[crazycoconut]

"Taters? What's taters, precious?"
"The Shire must truly be a great realm Master Gamgee where gardeners are held in high honour."
most quotes that have the word 'death' or 'dead' in them... (it's really weird as I have a tendency to get those quotes stuck in my head...)
Even though I haven't seen it yet, all things that Faramir says in the HoH lol
Plus others that I can't think of at the moment...

[ImDaMom]

A day may come when we forsake.......this day, we FIGHT!!
Anything having to do with squirrel droppings lol
Remember today, little brother
The world is changing. (Not a great line, but it's the opening to all other great lines)
You cannot give this to me (another not so great line, but we get a close up of Viggo here, so it's a fave!!)

[Lidless Eye]

Ah I have some more. :grin:
-Why should I welcome you Gandalf Stormcrow?
-If I shall return think better of me Father. :mecry:
-Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn!!!
-Bilbo Baggins do not tke me for some conjorer of cheap tricks.
-It was a dream Arwen.
Thats just to name a few. :)

[Mithril]

There's nothing. No veil between me and the wheel of fire.
For Frodo.
Roast chicken? (That one makes me smile every time!)
I don't think there will be a journey home.
I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee. Here at the end of all things.

[ImDaMom]

I like the two lines "For the journey home" and then later "I don't think there will be a journey home", both from Sam

[Lalaith of Rohan]

I like the "Mister Underhill" line from Aragorn...anybody remember exactly how that went?
And there's the Gimli/Gandalf speech in front of Moria ("Dwarf doors are invisible when closed." And something about "even their own masters cannot find them, if their secrets are forgotten.") And then here it comes...LEGGY:*muttering just loudly enough for the dwarf to hear* "Why doesn't that surprise me?"
-Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn!!!
That is a great one, LE! *sigh*
"There is no curse in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of Men for this treachery!" -Treebeard
"You carry the fates of us all, little one. If this is indeed the will of the counsel, then Gondor will see it done." -Boromir
"Of course you are! And I'm coming with you!" -Sam
"An alligience once existed between elves and men. We come to honor that alligience." (or something to that effect) -Haldir
Theoden's "Where is the horse and the rider..." reciting thingy.
"Who am I, Gamling?" -Theoden
"Your men will follow you to whatever end, my lord." -Gamling
IDM-I love that box line! lol
This was fun...I like making lists. ;) lol roflmao

[Lidless Eye]

I loved that quote by Gamling also LoR!!! :grin:

[Cosmic Aurora]

Hmm I have too many favourites quotes...But just to name a few!

- Don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pip.
What about elevensees? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn’t he?
- Anyway you need people of intelligence on this sort of mission, quest... thing.
{I pretty much like anything Pippin says!}
- I made a promise, Mr. Frodo. A promise! “Don’t you leave him Samwise Gamgee.” And I don’t mean to! I don’t mean to.
- Sam's spiel near the end of the Two Towers
- I know your face. Éowyn.
- It's the deep breath before the plunge.
- So, it is before the walls of Minas Tirith, the doom of our time will be decided.
- Duty? No...I would have you smile again.
AND pretty much everything from the last hour of ROTK!

[Mithril]

Without watching the dvd I think the Aragorn quote went 'You draw far too much attention to yourself, Mr Underhill' :ring:

[Tar-Vanimelde]

Oh man guys, those are some of the best quotes, esp "remember today, little brother" I almost cried at that one, knowing that he would have to remember it... mecry

#Vani

[Nessa GreenLeaf]

ya that hole part almost made me crymecry

it was sooo sad because the father never liked Faramirmecry mecry
imagin a parent not loving you and loves your brother more mecry mecry mecry

[Lalaith of Rohan]

'Tis sad...
Let's see here...
"Half the Shire's been invited, and the rest of them are turning up anyway!" -Frodo (just mildly amusing to me, worth mentioning ;) )
And I believe (I just remembered this) that the first part of my Theoden quote that I love is, "Fell deeds awake!" or something to that effect...
NOW FOR WRATH, NOW FOR RUIN, AND THE RED DAWN!
I just love that part...they all know that they're going to die and yet they plunge in so bravely...*sigh*
I love Treebeard's little conversation to the hobbits right before they discover the destroyed forest...the whole thing about the mice climbing up him...so cute. ;)
"The closer we are to danger, the farther we are from harm! It's the last thing he'll expect." -Pippin
Looking so self-assured...very funny. ;)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

-"You have no power here" (Saruman to Gandalf, through Theoden. It's quite ironic)
-"I can avoid being seen if I wish, but to disapear entirely *push back hood* that is a rare gift"
-"Forty-three" "he was already dead!" "he was twitching" "that's because he's got my axe imbedded in his nervous system!"
-"I would have followed you my brother, my captain, my king" (another tear jerker for me- that line conveys so much about the evolution of Boromir and Aragorn's relationship)
I know there are more...

#Vani

[Lidless Eye]

Yay this is fun!!! :grin:
-I only have the strength to defend my peopl.
-Dont talk to it Merry dont ecourage it.
-NAZGUL!!!
-A wizard should know better.
-Where are you leading them?

ok no doubt I'll be back mwahahaha :lol:

[Cosmic Aurora]

wow if this continues, we'll be practically posting the entire script! not that it's a bad thing of course! ;) some more fave quotes!

- My dear Sam, you cannot always be torn in two. You will have to be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be, and to do. Your part in this story will go on.
- I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. This day we fight!
- Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for?
- Put aside the Ranger. Become who you were born to be.
- I do not doubt his heart, only the reach of his arm.

that's it for now! =)

[Lidless Eye]

I have some more!!! :lol:

-Then keep your mouth shut.
-No cunchable birdses to eat.
-They have a cave Troll.
-A new power is rising! (That one always makes me shiver.)
-Gnawing biteing hacking breaking and burning.

thats all for now.;)

[ImDaMom]

I always have loved "they have a cave troll"

[Nessa GreenLeaf]

i think we already named the hole script roflmao
J / K

[ImDaMom]

We've only scratched the beginning....

Boromir..give Frodo the ring
There's more to this hobbit than meets the eye
You have some strength my dear hobbit
Lets hunt some orc
Roast chicken??
Westu Aragorn hal
Eowyn..why are you here
It is but a shadow and thought that you love

[Nessa GreenLeaf]

i like in the beginning when they are climbing down the clif

when frodo falls of
Frodo - i think i'v found the bottom

it is soooo funny roflmao roflmao roflmao roflmao

[Lidless Eye]

I dont know why but when Eowyn says, "What would you have me do my Lord?" I just like it alot I dont know why maybe because you can tell that she is thinking about going with them to Pelennor. :)

[Lady Steadfast]

Just about any hobbit line works for me. Pip has some great lines (Where are we goin'?) but Sam is my favorite. When he walks out in the water after Frodo in FotR I cried. When Frodo told him to go away in RotK, I cried. "It's yer Sam! Don't you know yer Sam?" ---I cried. I cried alot.
I laughed alot too. Gimli'sm line "that only counts as one" was funny.
Honestly, I'm not sure what's my favorite. I have so many favorites! I really liked the dialogues between Aragorn and Arwen, too. I'm very happily married and a hopeless romantic, so I would.
I'll probably think of more to come back and post later. Guess I'll just have to watch them again and make sure.......

[Lalaith of Rohan]

"Theoden King stands alone."
"Not alone...ROHIRRIM! -Eomer and Gandalf
"Ah, come on, we can take 'em!" -Gimli to Aragorn, looking down at the masses of Uruk-hai swarming over the ramp below them. ;) lol
I love the "pointy-eared Elvish Princeling" line from Gimli, that was great.
And I still think that Leggy should have won the movie fight! But...must...not...debate...here...ahhh! ;) lol roflmao j/k
"Our list of allies grows thin," -Elrond to Gandalf (it was well-said ;) )

[Lidless Eye]

I cant believe I havnt said this one its one of my favorites.
You do not know pain, you do not know fear you will taste Man-flesh.
Sarumans so cool. :)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

lol I'm glad he has at least one fan ;)

originally posted by Lalaith of Rohan
Ah, come on, we can take 'em!" -Gimli to Aragorn, looking down at the masses of Uruk-hai swarming over the ramp below them.
I love that line! So well delivered, such a great break from battle :grin:

#Vani

[Lidless Eye]

Yeah I like Saruman because I just love to hate him and hes so weird. :lol:
Another one of my favorites...

"I see you. There is no life in the Void only death."
Really cool Sauron line. :ring:

[Mithril]

Originally posted by ImDaMom

I'd forgotten that one for the moment, it's the look of resignation on Boromirs' face and the tone of his voice!;)

[Lalaith of Rohan]

I love it when Aragorn finishes his last touching speech to Frodo in FotR, and then he sees Frodo's sword glowing blue and goes, "Go, Frodo!" and draws his own sword, and Frodo's still there, and Aragorn's like, "Run!!" *Frodo is still there* "RUN!!"
And then Frodo moves. ;) lol
"I would have gone with you to the end...my captain...my king." -Boromir death scene
"So, Gandalf, you will try to lead them over Caradhras. And if that fails, where then will you go? If the mountain defeats you, will you risk a more dangerous road?"
And then later, "You fear to go into those mines. The dwarves delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dum. *flips page of book* A shadow ?and (of?) flame." -both Saruman from FotR...oooh...*shivers*
"Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement." -Gandalf
I know! I will include some favorite Legolas lines!
"Orcs!" FotR
"Northeast!" TTT
"A diversion!" RotK
lol lol lol roflmao

[Lidless Eye]

I like the Sauman quote also. Saruman has some of the best quotes. ;) To bad he wasnt in Rotk so there could be more quotes from him.

[Tar-Vanimelde]

When's that from? I can't remember and it's bothering me :angry:

#Vani

[Lidless Eye]

'Which one the, "So Gandalf you try to lead them over Caradhas..." one?

[Tar-Vanimelde]

Uhhh...I can't remember! :blush: Did you have one in your post that you edited or something? Something about a Void? Or am I seeing things lol

#Vani

[Lidless Eye]

Oh yeah..." I see you. There is not life in the Void only death."
That happened when Frodod put on the Ring in Bree and he getting sucked up by the Lidless Eye and hes talking to him.

[Tar-Vanimelde]

Ahhhh... Thanks, I thought I was loosing it for a second there lol Which might be true anyway, but it's good to know I wasn't out of it then lol
I like that quote- very freaky.

#Vani

[Lidless Eye]

No problemo Vani. :)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

:grin: Thanks, I bet I jsut ignored the whole 3rd page- I tend to do that, skip the later pages. Quite an anoying habit lol

#Vani

[Lidless Eye]

:lol: I tend to do that also. :)

[Lalaith of Rohan]

"Open war is upon you, whether you would risk it or not." -Aragorn
"The ring is treacherous, but it will hold you to your word." -Frodo
"NOBODY TOSSES A DWARF!"
"Toss me."
Aragorn: "What?"
Gimli: "I cannot jump the distance, you have to toss me!"
"Don't tell the elf!"

[ImDaMom]

Of all 3 movies, my favorite line is anything from "The world is changing" to "Well, I'm back". Its just too hard to choose 1.

[Lidless Eye]

Welcome Back IDM!!! YAy :rock: Ok back to the thread. :)

[ImDaMom]

notworthy Lidless....I feel most welcome (trying to keep on thread here ;) )

[Lidless Eye]

"Orders from Mordor my Lord. What does the Eye comand?"
By the little midget Orc walking into Orthanc. :lol:

[ImDaMom]

He always reminds me of a great aunt I once had (she was little, had teeny eyes, and hunched over like that) Sort of scary, having relatives that look like that lol

[Lalaith of Rohan]

Poor IDM...how terrible! lol roflmao
I love Leggy's, "Le abdollen (spell?). You look terrible!" at Helm's Deep...I guess he was upset that hiring a Warg rider to throw Aragorn into a river and clean him up didn't work! lol lol lol

[Lidless Eye]

Wow thats scary. :o I liked that part aslo LoR. :grin:

[Lothiriel]

It's hard to choose a favourite when there are so many fine moments but one that I really like is by Gandalf.
"Do not be to eager to deal out death and judgement, even the wise cannot see all ends" and then Frodo "I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened"
Gandal "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. What you have to decide is what to with the time that is given to you".

[Lidless Eye]

Wow you have that part down. :)
"Dont tempt me Frodo."

[Lothiriel]

You're up very late/early LE, it said 3 something AM for your posting. It's 5:17PM Sunday here, anyway, enough of that...
I have to confess, that though I can hear the words in my head I had to do a quick check to make sure I didn't muck it up.
Another odd one that just tickles me from RotK is the orc with the skull strapped to his helmet. "Catapults" and that's all, I just love the way he says it.:)

[Secondbreakfast]

hmmm there are soo many!!
~"Nine companions..you shall be the fellowship of the ring"-elrond
~"If i shall return -think better of me father"-faramir
~"Im glad im with you Sam. Here at the end of all things."-frodo

**i have many more favorites--but i cant think of them or write them all_lotr is full of wonderful quotes--but these are SOME of my favorites!***

[ImDaMom]

LOTR- "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us" and "I would have followed you my brother my captain my king"

TTT- "You look terrible" and "There is always hope" (Aragorn)

ROTK- "For Frodo" and "My friends, you bow to no one" (I really lost it then!! Why oh why did they show that clip on the Oscars? I almost cried just seeing that little bit!!!)

[Tar-Vanimelde]

"In place of a dark lord you would have a queen
Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the dawn
treacherous as the seas
stronger than the foundations of the earth.
All shall love me and dispair"

#Vani

[Lidless Eye]

I like it when Galadriel says that.
:lol: I think the Orc with a skull hat sounds like a girl. :lol:
"I would of gone with you to the end, to the very fires of Mordor."

[ImDaMom]

Quotes that many people didn't like, but I loved:

"Nobody tosses a dwarf"
"Would you like me to find you a box?"
"You look terrible"
"Let's hunt some orc"
"Small chance of victory, certain death. What are we waiting for?"
"Don't tell the elf"

There are others, but I like these, in spite of their unpopularity. Yes, they may be a bit cheesy, or silly, but for some reason, I like them

[Tar-Vanimelde]

Not at all, I love "Would you like me to find you a box?" it's one of my favorites :grin:

#Vani

[Lidless Eye]

I like the cheesy lines. But I think I like Tolkien quotes the best. :)
But I more or less love all the quotes from the movie.

[Tar-Vanimelde]

it is fun to see lines you recognize directly from the book- quite a hommage to JRR

#Vani

[Maiden of Twilight]

"Men of Gondor! And Rohan! My brothers. I see in your eyes, the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day! A day of wolves and shattered shields when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you, stand, Men of the West!"
"There is still hope."
"I choose a mortal life...It is mine to give to whom I will, like my heart."
"You draw far too much attention to yourself, Mr. "Underhill."
"For Frodo."

But I like em all. Quotes from Tolkien I like as well, but Im not going to state them...

[Maiden of Twilight]

Oh yes:
"This day does not belong to one man, but to all...etc."
"Et Earello endorenna utulien. Sinome maruvan, ar'Hildinyar tenn'amber-metta."

[Lalaith of Rohan]

I adore Bernard Hill's reciting of that poem...
"Where is the horse and rider...etc" Very touching...

[ImDaMom]

Those are all so great...especially Aragorn's speech (but then, I'm partial to the Ranger ;) )

[Lidless Eye]

"You do not know pain, you do not know fear, you will taste Man-flesh!!!" Mwahahahahaha lol

[Lothiriel]

"You are the last of that bloodline...there is not other"!

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

"All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you".

[Mirkgirl]

Originally posted by Lothiriel
"You are the last of that bloodline...there is not other"! This one gives me the creeps you know?

To make this post a bit more than just spam:
Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right.
Isaac Asimov

[Lothiriel]

I should have actually quoted "There is no other".
:grin: Though I'm not really sure why it should be classed as creepy unless it's the word blood that bothers...

[Mirkgirl]

ah nah, it's not generally creepy, it's just that I'm kind of that. Not that it's much of a bloodline but still a bit creepy... I've got no problems with the word/view/taste of blood otherwise ;)

[Lidless Eye]

Its me I'm spamming, I'm always spamming and not noticing!!! mecry

[Arwen_Evenstar]

I would practically have to quote the entire trilogy to find my fav. quotes:). But i'll list a few:

"Where is the horse and the rider..."
"Men of Gondor! Of Rohan! My Brothers!..."
"Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn! Forth Eorlingas!"
"I am no man!"
"That still only counts as one!"
"Your late... A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins, nor is he early..."
"I don't know half of you half as well as i should like, and i like less then half of you half as well as you deserve."
"For Frodo."
"Whats that?- this my friend is a pint..."
"What about second breakfeast?"
"I amar prestar aen..."
"You have been summoned here to answer the threat of Mordor... (the entire council of Elrond is good)"
"Ride hard, and don't look back"
"Riders of Rohan! Oaths you have taken! Now fulfill them all..."
"No one suffers the livinig to pass.
"You will suffer me."
"You bow to no one."

Well, there are just too many, so i'm going to end here, or i'll be up all night.

[Onilalle]

"For Frodo!"
"There is a fell voice on the air"
"Aragorn...Elessar"
"It still only counts as one!"
"you'll find more cheer in a graveyard..."
"My friends, you will bow to no-one"

[V-A-M]

One of my favorites is

"Toss me ... Just don't tell the Elf!" :gimli: :)

[Heart-of-a-Hobbit]

"Sam...I'm glad you're with me."

:sam: :frodo:

that line always makes me bawl

[Elijah's Girl]

"Certainty of death.....Small chance of success.....What are we waiting for?"
"I know your face....Eowyn."
"I am glad to be with you,Samwise Gamgee...Here at the end of all things."
"For Frodo"
"You have no authority here."
"We set out to save The Shire,Sam,and it has been saved.But not for me."
"You don't mean that...You can't leave"
"Sons of Gondor,of Rohan,My brothers!I see in your eyes...the same fear that would take the heart of me!A day may come when the courage of men fails...when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship!But it is not this day! An hour of wolves and shattered sheilds as the age of men come crashing down! But it is not this day!This day we fight!By all that you hold dear on this good earth...I bid you STAND MEN OF THE WEST!!"
and the one in my signature :)

[Red Lady of Rohan]

Sheesh - favorite lines, hmm. The ones that come to mind are ones that either made me laugh or cry.

Remember today, little brother.
They have a cave troll.
Great... Where are we going?
My friends... You bow to no one.
If I should return, think better of me, Father.
We did what we set out to do. We saved the Shire, but not for me.
Don't go where I can't follow.
That still only counts as one!
Fat hobbit is always so polite.

There are so many more, I would probably end up typing up all three scripts!

[Mouth Of Sauron]

Some of my favs:

"What about second breakfast?" -Pippin, FOTR :)
"Roast Chicken?" Frodo, TTT EE ;)
"Shall I describe it to you, or would you like me to find you a box?" Legolas TTT lol
"Is this it? Is this all you can conjure, Saruman?" Theoden, TTT (Always feel like saying "Famous last words" but he didn't die though.

I'll post more when I think of them

[Secondbreakfast]

wow...this is a hard decision to make-all the scripts of all three movies are brilliant, moving and touching but here are some of my faves:
"In comes in pints? Im getting one!"
"I do not fear death"
"Well. I'm Back."
My all time favorite one is:
"My, friends you bow to no one." I think this sums up the whole 3 movies. I cried when he started to say that and when the camera zoomed up on the hobbits and they looked around ...so touching!!

[Eyes of Legolas]

"I cant carry it for you, but I CAN carry you!" That's one of my faves. "I do not fear death." Gandalf's quote in my siggy.

[Lady Nenya]

I couldn't decide either! But here are a couple of them:

I made a promise Mr. Frodo a promise. Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee don't you leave him. And I don't mean to and I don't mean." mecry -Sam

Oh that one always makes me sad!! Ok this next one is one of my absolute favorite parts in the entire trilogy!!

If Aragorn survives this war, you will still be parted. If Sauron is defeated and Aragorn made king and all that you hope 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 nightfall winter that comes 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.
A im ú-'erin veleth lîn? -Elrond

Lady Nenya
