Who Said These "Two Towers" Quotes? (Vanity)
1/3/03

Posted on 01/03/2003 10:14:16 AM PST by mtngrl@vrwc

I just got home from seeing this wonderful movie for the seventh time and brought home twelve pages of dialogue scribbled in the dark (some of it was pretty messy and hard to read but I think it's pretty accurate). I wrote down some memorable quotes and wondered if you guys might enjoy guessing who said them and who the speakers were talking to.

I will give you a few quotes to start and if this turns out to be fun, I (or you guys) can post some more. I have tons more!

1. Tell me what happened and I will ease your passing.

2. Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

3. We have trusted you this far. You have not led us astray. I was wrong to despair.

4. Isengard has been unleashed.

5. You are the luckiest, the canniest, and the most wreckless man I have ever known.

6. Why do you lay these troubles on an already troubled mind? Can you not see your uncle is wearied by your malcontent and your warmongering?

7. I come back to you now at the turn of the tide.

8. Dark have been my dreams of late.

9. Open war is upon you - whether you would risk it or not.

10. Three hundred lives of men I walked on this earth and now I have no time.

11. The courtesy of your hall has lessened of late.

12. Your leechcraft would have had me crawling on all fours like a beast.

13. Finish this line......It is time for Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his _______.

14. This creature is bound to me and I to him.

15. It is an army bred for a single purpose, to destroy the world of men.

16. Sauron's wrath will be terrible, his retribution swift.

17. I will have no pointy ear out scoring me.

18. We come to honor that allegiance.

19. You could have picked a better spot.

20. The ring will not save Gondor. It only has the power to destroy.

Would anybody like to guess who said these words or to whom these words were spoken?

I greatly enjoyed "The Two Towers" but am still slightly pissed by the portrayal of Faramir.

You do have to admit that the tweaking with Faramir's character does add to the the drama of the movie. I am a rabid Tolkien fan but don't mind the changes that were made to make the movie more exciting.

[wink] good idea! Plenty of threads to complain on if you need me to point them out!

This can be allowed to just be a fun one.

Clearly not you. So move on, and go pee in someone else's soup.

Backwards! But close!

I saw the movie once, three weeks ago. Let's see how I do:

1. Tell me what happened and I will ease your passing.
Eomer to an Orc.

2. Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.
Gollum to Sam

3. We have trusted you this far. You have not led us astray. I was wrong to despair.
Legolas to Aragorn.

4. Isengard has been unleashed.
Saruman to Grima

5. You are the luckiest, the canniest, and the most wreckless man I have ever known.
Gimli to Aragorn. That's "reckless" by the way.

6. Why do you lay these troubles on an already troubled mind? Can you not see your uncle is wearied by your malcontent and your warmongering?
Grima Wormtongue to Eowyn.

7. I come back to you now at the turn of the tide.
Gandalf to the three travelers.

8. Dark have been my dreams of late.
Theodren to Gandalf.

9. Open war is upon you - whether you would risk it or not.
Gandalf to Theodren.

10. Three hundred lives of men I walked on this earth and now I have no time.
Gandalf to self, or the travelers

11. The courtesy of your hall has lessened of late.
Gandalf to Theoden

12. Your leechcraft would have had me crawling on all fours like a beast.
Theoden to Grima Wormtongue

13. Finish this line......It is time for Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his _______.
mettle or worth. Mettle is in the book, but I'm not sure if the movie followed it. Faramir said this to Frodo, in the book.

14. This creature is bound to me and I to him.
Frodo to Faramir

15. It is an army bred for a single purpose, to destroy the world of men.
Aragorn to Theodren

16. Sauron's wrath will be terrible, his retribution swift.
Gandalf to Aragorn

17. I will have no pointy ear out scoring me.
Gimli to Aragorn

18. We come to honor that allegiance.
Elrohir, Elrond's son to Theoden

19. You could have picked a better spot.
Gimli to Aragorn

20. The ring will not save Gondor. It only has the power to destroy.
Frodo to Faramir

How did I do?

Of course, I did read the books five or six times each. Many of these lines are in them or I can figure them out from the characters.

F.S.

"Quality." Of course. It was an odd way to put his point.

I change my answer: "2. Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew." Sam to Gollum, about "POtatoes".
