One of my MOST favorite lines in the movie is Boromir saying

"It is not yours save by unhappy chance. It might have been mine! It should have been mine! Give it to me!"

I'm quoting it from there book, here, but it sounds word for word in the movie! When I first heard it, I went "YES! Tolkien!" I think PJ had to understand that these phrases are dear to us fans and hearing them is an incredible feeling!

Yes! I loved that line too! In fact, I pulled out the book to understand what Boromir was saying there, because I couldn't quite catch all the words. When I did, and could read the line and it sounded identical, I thought that was so cool.

Much of that whole scene was word-for-word, which was terrific.
