Who Said These "Two Towers" Quotes? (Vanity)

1/3/03

[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?

[Elenya]

All right, all right. Then I guess I need to go one more time (4 times already and counting...LOL!) Funny thing is after the 3rd time, it already had the same familiar feel as FOTR... just like an old friend...

Aragorn: Ladders!
Gimli: Good!
HA!

How long are the reading CD's of the books? That's what it would have been.

The unabridged audio books of the LOTR Trilogy come to 52 hours in total (I checked). Of course, the movie would be shorter because some of the descriptions would be unnecessary as you would SEE the scenes being described. 24 hours was my guesstimate.

[HarryDunne]

That device is for opening B.O.U.S's (Beer Of Unusual Size)

>20. The ring will not save Gondor. It only has the power to destroy. -- Frodo to Faramir.
I would've answered: Sam to Faramir. Anybody else agrees with me?

Ah, I think you might be right. I'll just have to go see the film a 3rd time to be sure. Thanks alot.

This was fun! Post another 20! Post another 20!

You have made my day Fidelis! First of all though....I have to say that I don't think anyone guessed my answer for #4 "Isengard had been unleashed". I am not saying that who you guys guessed didn't say something similar, but someone none of you guessed spoke those exact words. Can anybody guess who?

**madly typing some new quotes for you guys to guess**

Frodo?

[Spiff]

Frodo?

No, you idiot. It was Merry while riding TreeBeard in the Fangorn Forest. Filthy Hobbitses! Thieveses!

[mtngrl@vrwc]

21. A wizard should know better.

22. So much death! What can men do against such reckless hate?

23. I know it's all wrong, by all rights we shouldn't even be here, but we are.

24. To enter the forbidden pool pays the penalty of death.

25. It's my task, mine, my own!

26. Leave now and never come back!

27. It was a gift, keep it.

28. So few, so few of you have returned.

29. Fell deeds await.

30. Then it is forfeit. Release them.

[mtngrl@vrwc]

It was Merry while riding TreeBeard in the Fangorn Forest.

Nope. Guess again. ;-)

[Elenya]

Actually, it turns out you're probably right since everybody else agrees it was Frodo. I'll just have to go see the film a 5th time to be sure... ;o)

[Elenya]

Was it Treebeard?

[mtngrl@vrwc]

20. The ring will not save Gondor. It only has the power to destroy. -- Frodo to Faramir. I would've answered: Sam to Faramir.

No. It was Frodo who spoke these words to Faramir. At least that's what I wrote down on my trusty notes. ;-)

[RMDupree]

21. Treebeard to Merry and Pippin.

22. Theoden to Aragorn.

23. Samwise Gamgee to Frodo Baggins (personally, I tihnk it's a PJ side joke since in the book Sam and Frodo were never actually at Osgiliath).

24. Faramir to Frodo - upon seeing Smeagol in the pool below.

25. Frodo to Sam.

26. Smeagol to Gollum.

27. Arwen to Aragorn - when Aragorn tries to return Evenstar to Arwen.

28. Eowyn to her father Theoden - when they return from fighting the Warg Riders.

29. (I'm still thinking...)

30. Faramir to one of his Captains - upon being reminded that releasing Frodo, Sam and Smeagol is against his father's law.

[mtngrl@vrwc]

C'MON! can't you do better than that?!

Hey jump in here with some TTT trivia of your own!

Number four, is nobody going to have the correct answer to number four?

[RMDupree]

I remember it being Frodo who said it as well. It was when Frodo was pleading with Faramir to let them go. Wasn't it right as they saw Osgiliath burning?

[RMDupree]

Isengard has been unleashed. - Saruman?

[mtngrl@vrwc]

Was it Treebeard?

No....it was a female character.
