Favourite Lotr quotes...

[Beldaran]

So what's your favourite lotr quotes?
I have many but know I've realized just what a great charachter Sam is so i tend to get fond of his quotes... here's an absolute favourite from the Two towers: (it's the scene in Osgiliath)

Frodo: I can't do this Sam.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding on to Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.

it's so beautiful...

and this single line by Théoden:
" No parent should have to bury their child."

that's so touching, really

(can't wait for the 3rd one...

Eowyn's song at Theodred's funeral:

(chanting in the Rohirrim Ancestral language)
Bealocwealm hafað fréone frecan forth onsended
(An evil death has set forth the noble warrior)
giedd sculon singan gléomenn sorgiende on Meduselde
(A song shall sing the sorrowing minstrels in Meduseld)
þat heo mano arer his þruc ne deores
(That noble cousin who always held me dear)
on meagorinc deorcas, belu
(now is held in darkness, enclosed)

[Dallandra]

Sorry for double-posting but I just found a RotK-script and have to post some quotes!!

-The last pages are for you, Sam. My dear Sam, you cannot always be torn in two. You will have to be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be, and to do. Your part in this story will go on. ~ Frodo

-Do you remember the Shire, Mister Frodo? It'll be spring soon, and the Orchards will be in blossom. And the birds will be nesting in the hazel thicket and they'll be sowing the summer barley in the lower fields. (Frodo opens his eyes, and stares blindly at Sam.) And eating the first of the strawberries with cream. Do you remember the taste of strawberries? ~ Sam

MERRY and PIPPIN
(singing for the people of Rohan)
Oh, you can search far and wide
You can drink the whole town dry
You'll never find a beer so brown
But you'll never find a beer so brown
As the one we drink in our home town.
As the one we drink in our home town.
You can keep your fancy ales.
You can drink em by the flagon.
But the only brew for the brave and true
Comes from the Green Dragon!

not maybe the best quote in the movie but their singing is just so great...

[Aragorn]

The Steward of Gondor:

Home is behind
The world ahead
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadow
To the edge of night
Until the stars are all alight

Mist and shadow
Cloud and shape
Hope shall fail
All shall fade

[†Gothic Angel†]

GOLLUM
Shhh! Quiet! Musn't wake them! Musn't ruin it now!

SMÉAGOL
But they knows! They knows! They suspects us!

GOLLUM
What's it saying, my precious, my love? Is Sméagol losing his nerve?

SMÉAGOL
No! Not! Never! Sméagol hates nasty hobbitses! Sméagol wants to see them dead!

GOLLUM
And we will. Sméagol did it once; he can do it again.

SMÉAGOL
It's ours! Ours! We must get the Precious! We must get It back!

GOLLUM
Patience! Patience, my love. First we must lead them to her.

SMÉAGOL
We lead them to the winding stairs.

GOLLUM
Yes, the stairs. And then?

SMÉAGOL
Up, up, up, up the stairs we go and then we come to the tunnel.

GOLLUM
And when they go in, there's no coming out. She's always hungry. She always needs to feed. She must eat. All she gets is filthy orcses.

SMÉAGOL
And they doesn't taste very nice, does they, precious?

GOLLUM
No, not very nice at all, my love. She hungers for sweeter meats. Hobbit meat. And when she throws away the bones and empty clothes, then we will find It!

SMÉAGOL
And take it for meeeee!

GOLLUM
For us.

SMÉAGOL
Yes, we meant, we meant for us.

GOLLUM
Gollum! Gollum! The Precious will be ours once the hobbitses are dead

and......

Gollum - Naughty little fly, why does it cry? Caught in a web! Soon you'll be ... eaten

LOL, you didn't notice that I posted that same thing...

oh and one more from ROTK:

ARWEN:
Some things are certain. If I leave him now, I will regret it forever. It is time. From the ashes of fire shall be woken, a light from the shadow shall spring, renewed shall be Blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be King. Re-forge the Sword...Adar. (father)

oh and a absolute favourite both from book and movie:

Ónen i-Estel Edain.
(I gave Hope to the Dúnedain.)

ARAGORN
Ú-chebin Estel anim.
(I have kept no hope for myself.)

it was originally said by Gilraen Aragon's mother, I think

[Aragorn]

Sam: "What are you up to?"

Sam: "Sneakin' off, are we?"

Gollum: "S-sneaking? Sneaking!?"

Gollum: "Fat hobbit is always so polite."

Gollum: "Sméagol shows them secret ways that nobody else could find, and they say sneak! Sneak!!!"

Gollum: "Very nice friend, oh yes, my precious, very nice friend!

Sam: "All right! All right!"

Sam: "You just startled me, that's all."

Sam: "What were you doing?"

Gollum: "...Sneaking."

Sam: "Fine. Have it your own way."

Sam: "I'm sorry to wake you, Mr. Frodo. We have to be moving on."


Sam: "It's gone!"

Sam: "The elven bread!"

Frodo: "What?! That's all we have left!"
Sam: "He took it! He must have!"

Gollum: "Sméagol?! No, no, not poor Sméagol! Sméagol hates nasty elf-bread."

Sam: "You're a lying rat! What did you do with it!?"

Frodo: "He doesn't eat it."

Frodo: "He can't have taken it!"

Gollum: "Look! What's this?"

Gollum: "Crumbs on his jacketses! He took it!"

Gollum: "He took it! I've seen him! He's always stuffing his face when Master's not looking!"

Sam: "That's a filthy lie!!!"

Sam: "You stinkin' two-faced sneak!"

[Frodo watches, as Sam is beating up Gollum.]

Frodo: "Sam! Stop it! Sam!"

Sam: "I'll kill him!"

Frodo: "Sam! No!!!"

Sam: "Oh my! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it to go so far! I was just so, so angry..."

Sam: "Here, just...let's just rest a bit."

Frodo: "I'm alright."

Sam: "No. No you're not alright. You're exhausted. It's that Gollum! It's this place! It's that thing
around your neck!"

Sam: "I could help a bit! I could carry it for a while."

Frodo: "Get away!!

Sam: "I don't wanna keep it!"

Sam: "I just wanna help..."

Gollum: "See! See! He want's It for himself!"


[Frodo turns his face in Sam's direction again, finally fully believeing Gollum's word over Sam's.]


Sam: "Shut up, you! Go away!"

Sam: "Get out of here!"

Frodo: "No, Sam...It's you..."


[Sam slowly looks up to meet Frodo's eyes, not believeing what he's hearing, tears forming in his eyes.]


Frodo: "I'm sorry, Sam..."

Sam: "But he's a liar! He's poisoned you against me!"

Frodo: "You can't help me anymore."

Sam: "...You don't mean that..."


[They look at each other in silence and with a blank face, Frodo finally says the words that will break
Sam's heart.]


Frodo: "Go home."

[†Gothic Angel†]

*lmao* Awww, Gollum has all the best lines I luv the way Gollum runs behind the tree and screams and when Sam's trying to beat him up *hehe*

Oh, and these two as well:

GOLLUM
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up, sleepies! We must go, yeesss. We must go at once!

and when he says to Sam:

GOLLUM
No time to lose, silly!

*lmao*

[lainey]

Hold your ground, hold your ground. Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that will take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails. When we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields and when the age of me comes crashing down, but it is not this day. This day we fight. For all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you, stand Men of the West. -ARAGORN

"From the ashes, a fire will be woken. A light from the darkness shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king."-ARWEN

Give me your hand. Take my hand. Don't you let go. Don't let go... Reach -SAM

:'(aaaaaaw, they make me cry so much!

[Beldaran]

those quotes bring out tears their the most touching lines in Rotk...

and the Gollum lines are all good I can't think up one that is bad...

some from Fotr:

GANDALF
Escaped? Or set loose? Now the Ring has brought him here. He will never be rid of his need for it. He hates and loves the Ring, as he hates and loves himself. Smeagol's life is a sad story. Yes, Smeagol he was once called. Before the Ring found him. Before it drove him mad.

FRODO
It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill him when he had the chance.

GANDALF
Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death, and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum still has a part to play yet, for good or ill. Before this is over, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.

FRODO
I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

GANDALF
So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in the world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, in which case you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.
