Who in "Return of the King" said this and who was it said to?

[mtngrl@vrwc]

I went to see "Return of the King" today for the second time and instead of really watching, I wrote down quotes (in the dark!) and thought I could share a few of them here and ask if anybody knows who said them and to whom they were said.

[mtngrl@vrwc]

1. The filth of Saruman is washing away

2. The Dead City, very nasty place, full of enemies.....

3. In fact, it's better if you don't speak at all.

4. It is but a shadow and a thought that you love, I cannot give you what you seek.

5. The stars are veiled, something stirs in the east, a sleepless malace, the eye of the enemy is moving.

6. I would have you smile again, not grieve.

7. Let him go, you filth!

8. Death is just another path, one we must all take.

9. Courage for our friends.

10. Certainty of death, small chance of success, what are we waiting for?

[mtngrl@vrwc]

11. There's plenty for the both of us, may the best dwarf win.

12. I do not fear death.

13. I have left instructions, the people are to follow your rule in my stead.

14. Have you learned nothing of the stubbornness of dwarves?

15. Who enters my domain?

16. I wish I could have seen him one last time.

17. Murderers, traitors, you would call upon them to fight?

18. I come on behalf of one that I love.

19. The birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket.

20. The eagles are coming.

[mtngrl@vrwc]

21. Abandon your posts! Flee for your lives!

22. Well, I'm back.

23. What say you!

24. Go in, or go back.

25. You're a lying rat!

26. Become who you were born to be.

27. My friends, you bow to no one.

I saw it today with my 12-year old son. I'm not a huge "Rings" fan, although I did enjoy the first 2 movies. That being said, this is one the best movies I've even seen.

3 1/2 hours of unbelievable cinematography, spectacular action, gripping story, and a remarkable good vs. evil theme throughout.

I had tears at the end, at the coronation, with the 4 hobbits.

I am a huge RIngs fan, and also felt it was one of the most moving conema experiences ever. The grandness of the whole movie is stunning, and yet the personal aspects of each character were touching. There were moments when I was moved to tears, and others where I wanted to cheer. I intend to see it again in the next few days. I missed much since the action is fast and furious at times.

Little in this world actually deserves the overused phrase- Awsome- but this movie does!

>>Yes, Gimli's line was great, but so was Eowyn's "I am no man" as she stabbed the Nazgul King!<<

Right, but having read the books any number of times over the paste 25 years, I knew that one was coming. I would have been disappointed had she not said it.

However, Gimli saying his line caused the theatre to erupt in laughter and clapping.

Both good, don't get me wrong. It's a PHENOMINAL movie.
