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?

1. Tell me what happened and I will ease your passing. Eomer Legolas to an Orc. (The orc that was laughing, who had Aragorn's Evenstar in the film)

2.. backwards... I think Sam is trying to describe what can be done with Potatoes, to an unconvinced Gollum.

3.. Grima to Eomer, more than Eowyn, though she was there!

Thats it for now!

You are GOOD!

Numbers 3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,14,15,16, and 17 are right on.

Number one was said by Gimli but not to the Riders of Rohan.

Two, nope.

Four - something similar might have been said by Aragorn (I will have to watch for a similar quote next time), but when I wrote down this quote, someone else said it.

Twelve, nope.

Thirteen, he used a neat word here I think! Anybody else remember what it was?

Eighteen, which elf?

Nineteen, no.

Twenty, I hope I didn't write this down wrong in the theater, but I don't think Sam said this.

Yep, you're right. I realized my errors when I read some other postings. I was unsure about the Sam & Gollum answer.

Thanks for an interesting quiz.

Out of the 20, Tolkien only wrote about 4.

Sad.

Oh wow, you guys who have seen the movie once and still know all of this stuff are something else!

Numbers 6, 12, and 20 are correct.

Eomer didn't say number one.

I caught someone else saying number four. Saruman might have said something similar, I am not sure.

Was number six said to Eowyn? I will have to watch again to make sure, but I think Grima Wormtongue said it to someone else.

As previously guessed, number nine was said by Aragorn.

Number 18, spoken by an elf but a different one from the one you guessed.

Number 19, spoken by Gimli but not to Aragorn.

I'll say what I darn well please- thank you! These LOTR threads are a waste of bandwidth!!

You certainly may say whatever you please.
If, however, you truly believe these LOTR threads to be a waste of bandwidth, then you surely shall do your part to reduce that waste by not participating in them.
