What the hell, the whole trillogy if you like,
What are the lines that really made you grin?

Elrond: Onen i estel edain,
Aragorn: chebin estel amin

"Now heres a thing unheard of, an elf will go under ground where a dwarf dare not! I'd never hear the end of it!"

I love the quotes that are straight from the book :)

"Have you learned nothing of the stubborness of dwarves?"

"Theres plenty for the both of us, may the best dwarf win!"

"I can't carry it for you, but I can carry YOU!"
I just had to post that line, probably my favorite in all three films.

Lots of really good ones. But I think of one of my favorites that I remember off the bat is:

"That counts as one!"

After legolas slayed the oliphant :)

Ok what about smeagol's absolutely thrilling schizo attack in ttt???!!

"Leave now and never come back!"
"What?"
"Leave now, and never come back"
"Arrrggghh"
"Leave now and never come Back!!!"

"We told him to go away, precious, and away he goes! Smeagol is freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

I love it! I cry every time!

And then in rotk...

"it is but a shadow and a thought that you love"

"If i should return, think better on me, father"

"I'm glad you're here with me, Sam, at the end of all things."
I'm so glad they put that in from the book.

"you are soldiers of gondor, whatever comes through those doors, you will hold your ground

3 large trolls bust through

"How about side by side with a friend"
"Aye-"

in ROTK:

I know I can't carry it, but I can carry you!

Don't you let go.......don't let go...

This is not the first Halfling to have crossed your path.

What were you doing?
Sneaking.

Don't go where I can't follow.

I'm glad you're with me Sam, here at the end of all things.

For Frodo.

"I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you!"
"All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you."
"I'm glad that you're with me Samwise Gamgee, here at the end of all things."
"I will not say 'Do not cry', for not all tears are evil."
"You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring." "Great, where are we going?"
"There's some good in this world Mr. Frodo, and its worth fighting for."
"It is not in your power to deny the return of the king."
"When I return, think better of me Father."
"That will depend on the manner of which you return."
"Stupid fat hobbit!"
And the whole Gollum/Smeagol monologue in TT...
and this scene in this one is awesome....

"Hey, where you sneaking off to?"
"Sne..sneaking? Sneaking? Oh, fat hobbit is always so polite. We guide them, lead them to secret passageways that no one else could find, and they say sneak. SNEAK! Wonderful friends we have here, oh yes my precious, wonderful friends..."
"All right, all right...you just startled me is all. What were you doing anyways?"
"Sneaking."

Hahahaha!!! I love that! Straight from the books!

"I am no man!"
"Of all the pesky hobbits to ever come down the pike Peregrin Took, you are the worst!"
"That still only counts as one!"
"How about side by side with a friend?"
"Dont go where I can't follow! Wake up!"
"Don't you let go!"
"For Frodo."

"I am no man!"

"I do not fear death" (Right before Aragorn charges into the paths of the dead)

Pretty much all of my favorites have already been mentioned.

"Never thought I'd die side by side with an Elf"
"How about with a friend?"
"I....I can do that"

Queen Arwen

12-23-2003, 04:22 PM

Pippin: "Is there any hope, Gandalf? For Frodo and Sam?"
Gandalf: "There never was much hope. Just a fool's hope."

Eowyn: "I am no man!"

Gimli: "Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for?"

Aragorn: "For Frodo." When I saw ROTK the 1st time, this line really made me sob!

Gimli: "I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with an Elf."
Legolas: "How about side by side with a friend?"
Gimli: "Aye...I could do that."

Aragorn: "My friends, you bow to no one." This made me well up soo much the 2nd time I saw ROTK.

Was I the only one here that thought Theodens speetch was absolutely spine-tingling....I for one found it more stiring than Aragorns at the Black Gate.
the speach its self was fantastic, I thought the delivery was much better than Aragorns. VERY spine tingling :D

I only have one line to mention since all the other ones I love have been mentioned.

I knew I would start crying at the end it was just a matter of when in the end I would start and this line did it for me

"Rosie Cotton dancing...she had flowers in her hair...If I were to ever marry someone...It would have been her!"

Then he started crying and I just lost it. :(

not trying to be picky but remember to insert "old" before the gaffer. It does have a better ring to it that way...

I loved that line as well...it was soo sweet and portrayed the essence of Sam perfectly. And I do seem to remember it from the books, but concerning the Grey Havens instead. Anyone else recall that?

"You cannot always be torn in two, Sam. You will have to be one and whole for many years. You have much to see and to do and to be. Your part in this tale is not over."

"How do you pick up the pieces of an old life, when you know you cannot go back? There are some wounds that will not heal, some hurts that go too deep."

"There and Back Again; A Hobbit's Tale by Bilbo Baggins, and: The Lord of the Rings by Frodo Baggins."

"Well. I'm back"

"I'm glad you're here with me Sam, at the end of all things"

"Rosie Cotton dancing...she had ribbons in her hair. If ever I were to marry a girl, it would have been her. It would have been her."

"No, Mr. Frodo, wake up! Wake up! Don't go where I can't follow."

"Run, Shadowfax. Show us the meaning of haste"

"Arise, Riders of Theoden! Shields shall be shaken, spears shall be splintered. A sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride! Ride now! Ride for ruin, and the world's ending! Death! Death! Death"

"Death is merely another path. One we must all take."

"I would very much like to see my old Ring again, Frodo." "I'm sorry uncle...I lost it." "Did you?"

"I will not say do not weep, for not all tears are an evil."

"Can you recall the taste of strawberries, Mr. Frodo?" "No Sam, I can't recall the taste of food, nor the sound of water. There is no veil between me and the wheel of fire! I can see it now, with my waking eyes..." (arg! Can't remember the rest :()

this is all from memory, so some lines are probably a little mixed up

I liked how Aragorn said "you're late" to Legolas in elvish even though they didnt put it in subtitles. Its a nice reference to the second one.

"I know your face...eowyn" - Theoden

"Sing me a song!" - Denethor

"Go on!" - Smeagol

"Heee! (not really any sound)" - Mid Orgasmic Smeagol while the fish hooking and worm hooking

"Tell me what you have seen!" - Arwen

"Some things are certain." - Arwen

"Become who you were born to be." - Elrond

"I am no man." - Legolas

Yeah it was, on my first viewing, i couldnt tell what he said but I knew i heard it before. So i saw towers again and that exact same line came up. I liked how Phillipa and Fran put that in, kind of like a treat for the fans.

you'd think I'd pick up on it after *just* having watched TTT before RotK, but alas...

Gandollum

12-23-2003, 06:53 PM

"All you have to decide, is what to do with the time that has given to you", i know Gandalf said this in the first one, but does he say it in the third one. I remember in the ROTK trailer he said it, but do you guys if he did say it in the movie.

Ok, my mind is blank, I remember him saying it, but I can't remember where now. Where does he say it during ROTK?

At the coronation, when both Legolas and him meet, and also Legolas said if first to Aragorn when he returns to Helms Deep.

I think the best line from ROTKis definitely:

"My friends...you bow to no one."

I just like it because of how emotionally powerful it is. Just me though.

Another fave is this exchange between Gandalf and Pippin...

Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. There's another path; one that we all must take. The gray rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and it will change to silver glass, and then you see it.
Pippin: See what?
Gandalf: White shores; and beyond them, a far green country under a swift sunrise.

"Hey, where you sneaking off to?"
"Sne..sneaking? Sneaking? Oh, fat hobbit is always so polite. We guide them, lead them to secret passageways that no one else could find, and they say sneak. SNEAK! Wonderful friends we have here, oh yes my precious, wonderful friends..."
"All right, all right...you just startled me is all. What were you doing anyways?"
"Sneaking."

Gandalf,'Lord Denethor is Boromir's father. It would be very unwise to bring him news of his beloved sons death. Best not to speak of it. And be careful not to mention Frodo or the ring. Or Aragorn, say nothing of him. In fact, its best if you don't speak at all, Peregrin Took. '

I love that speech. As soon as Theoden started riding down the line hitting their spears with his sword, I looked to my friend and smiled: "Oh it's on now. Here comes the rumble!" :D

Their were several moments in ROTK where I said something like that. One of my LOTR-viewing buddies hasn't read the books, and me and my friends who HAVE read the books kept on prepping for him up for "HER". He didn't know who "SHE" was, so we kept on messing with him.

You shoulda seen him jump when SHE arrived. :D

This is off topic but its kinda interesting. Anyone else notice that its not Frodo remembering the line, but its Gandalf speaking to him. When they are in Moria Gandalf says,"All WE have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to US." But when you hear it again in Amon Hen, the line is said like this,"All YOU have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to YOU." Just thought it was cool, hopefully they meant it that way and it wasn't a mistake.

Yeah, I was really disappointed they didn't go with the trailer version. I remembered what somebody had said about Viggo sounding nasal in the movie, and sad to say, it was true. :(

Lasgalen

12-24-2003, 02:41 PM

Nasal.... my friend decided he sounded very Irish too.
Then again how long has it been since the guy gave a speeech to such a large army :D I doubt even Thorongil had that big a chance :D

Queen Arwen

12-24-2003, 02:44 PM

I don't mind an Irish accent as long as it's convincing. :)
True, that's the first time he's ever had to lead an army since the days of Thorongil!

I noticed it as well. I also like the way Sam's line was changed. In Farmer Maggot's field, he says "Don't you lose him, Samwise Gamgee," but at Amon Hen he says "Don't you leave him, Samwise Gamgee"

A nice touch to show the evolution of their relationship
