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?
22. So much death! What can men do against such reckless hate? --Theoden
23. I know it's all wrong, by all rights we shouldn't even be here, but we are.--Sam
24. To enter the forbidden pool pays the penalty of death. --Faramir
25. It's my task, mine, my own!--Frodo
26. Leave now and never come back!--Gollum
27. It was a gift, keep it.--Arwen
28. So few, so few of you have returned. --Eowyn
30. Then it is forfeit. Release them.--Faramir
--------------------------
21. A wizard should know better. Wormtongue?
29. Fell deeds await. Galadriel?
Hmmm..."Fell deeds await." Still thinking...
Was Number 4 Galadriel's quote?
Who said "Do not trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands."
Eomer.
29: Theoden
Jeesh!
Fell deeds await. - My gut says Saruman, but something else tells me I'm wrong.
23. I know it's all wrong, by all rights we shouldn't even be here, but we are.
I don't have time to play, since I'm on my lunch break, but these are two of my favorite lines in the movie. Whenever I hear King Theoden (at the dawn after the night attack on Helm's Deep) say that line (#22), I can't help but think of Islamic terrorists.
And 23 is a hysterical nod to those of us who know that Sam and Frodo don't belong in Osgiliath! (Sam said it to Frodo).
NOW! Off to work!
32. The battle for Helm's Deep is over, the battle for Middle Earth begins.-- Gandalf
33. Get the wounded on horses. The wolves of Isengard will return. Leave the dead.--Theoden
34. There will be no dawn for men. --Saruman
35. Why do you do that, call him names and run him down all the time?-- Frodo to Sam
36. The light of the Evenstar does not wax and wane. --Arwen 37. He's not coming back. Why do you linger here when there's no hope?-- Elrond to Arwen
38. I told you he was false.-- Gollum to Smeagol
39. Please, it's such a burden. Will you not help him? --Sam
40. We are not so lucky in our friendships as you.--Theoden to Aragorn
