Yeah! Eomer!!<P>Best: <BR>1. "How long has it been since Saruman bought you? What was the promised price, Grima? When all the men are dead you would take a share of the treasure? Too long have you watched my sister, too long have you haunted her steps." <P>2. "Not alone. Rohirrim! To the king!<P>3. I also like when he whistles for Hasufel and Arod! <P>Worst: He doesn't have a worst! I like all of his lines and those aren't many! He wasn't in the movie enough! *sulks*

I know this is from FoTR, but rather then start another thread...<P>This is in the special edition and always makes me smile. It is when they are departing and Elrond says, "May the blessings of elves, men and free folk go with you." or something pretty close to that.<P>Anyway, when he says "elves" there's a cut to Legolas. At "men" they cut to Aragorn and at "free folk" they cut to Gimli.<P>This makes me smile because it reminds me of a Simpson line were the Simpson's home is saved by fire by the local community and Reverend Lovejoy says something like, "Your friends pulled together, be they Christian" (cut to Flanders) "Jew" (cut to Krusty) "or miscellaneous." (cut to Apu). <P>I guess what makes it funny (well, maybe just to me) is that it can be argued that the tone of the Simpson reference is not exactly out of place.<P>H.C.

Eomer's Best:<BR>- "Not alone. Rohirrim! ... To the king!"<P>Eomer's Worst:<BR>- "He walks here and there they say, as an old man, hooded and cloaked."

What's wrong with the quality line? That's what the Ring does to you: it causes you to have great aspirations and ambitions and to believe that with the Ring you can be a hero, when you would be a tyrant. I liked that line. Maybe I misunderstood.<BR>[Referring to the part where Faramir says something about the young captain of Gondor (Faramir) showing his quality.]<p>[ February 18, 2003: Message edited by: Grimbold ]

Best: "How long has it been since Saruman bought you? What was the promised price, Grima? When all the men are dead you would take a share of the treasure? Too long have you watched my sister, too long have you haunted her steps." <P>Worst: "We ride north" (only because I couldn't think of anything else.)<P>We should do Treebeard some time!

Is anyone still tallying the votes on this thread?

Well, yeah... But when I get only one or two people responding, it's kind of pointless, because there's no clear "winner" in some cases. But I get tired of saying "Vote, vote, vote!" so that's why I sometimes let it get buried.

Well...Eomer...hmmm...I liked the expression on his face when he was being taken away at Wormtongue, but that isn't exactly a line. I liked "What businness have an Elf, a Man, and a Dwarf in the Riddermark?" No worst lines, many more good, I just chose one of them. Iknow that the other ones are finished, but I'm sorry I missed them, and woul like to at lest say which lines I liked for some.So much death. What are men to do against such reckless hate was pretty good, actually.<P>Faramir- well, I noticed that many people seemed to think that his meanest lines were his worst. I think that all that that means was that he was such a great actor for the role that his mean lines <I>really</I> seemed mean. I actually liked all of his lines, even the now we understand each other one, but I especially loved the "a chance for Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his quality" even though it was a little bit scary. I don't get how you chose that to be the worst one! <P>Legolas- No bad lines at all, well mayb I'm a bit prejudiced in his favor, but I really did think that he didn't have any bad lines. I liked the a red sun rises one, but my two favorites are these: a. boe a hyn! neledheran dan caer menig! (and they should be: 300 against 10 thousand!) and all of the lines around that, the whole thing of the fight with Aragorn, even though it was rather uncharacteristic. I don't get how people thought that <I>that</I> was one of the worst lines too! *Makes effort not to punch anyone in the nose* And b. I don't remember the exact lines, but it's when he realizes that Aragorn fell of the cliff. The facial expressions in that scene are really great. Not far behind is definitely his "You're late...you look terrible" line.<P>Theoden- Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow; The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow. How has it come to this?<P>Frodo- Too many, too many! The best one by far was definitely the "They are here. hey have come." one. That frieked me out badly, but I loved it.<P>I'm sorry I talked about the ones there were, before, couldn't help it.

Oh thank you, GaladrieloftheOlden!<BR>I forgot about Eomer line:<BR>"What business does an Elf, a Man, and a Dwarf have in the Riddermark? Speak Quickly!"<P><I><B>THAT</B></I> is my favorite Eomer line. I change my vote to that!!<P>I see your point Diamond, on why you don't tally them up as often, or get tired of asking us to vote. I think some of us really like this thread, though. Couldn't you do it for us? *puppy dog eyes* Please???

I'm also going to cast my vote for the speech about Worntongue staying away from Eowyn and for the line that goes somewhat like...<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Not alone! Rohirrim! To the King!<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>I can't think of a worst line. A while back someone mentioned that we are a bunch of Sam fans. That we are! (or at least I am!)

Well...maybe not <I>all</I> of us...<I>some</I> of us may prefer Legolas...but still not be Orliers. Kill the Orliers!

Eomer's best has to be 'Not alone, ROHIRRIM!'<BR>and ' (whistle)Hasufel, Arod' That whistle was cool! hehehe <BR>Another one is 'I would cut off your head, dwarf if it stood a little higher from the ground.' That was from the book wasn't it?

I <I>think</I>, correct me if I'm wrong, that something <I>like</I> that was in the book, but PJ changed it a bit, or maybe changed who said it, or when, etc. Then again, maybe not.<p>[ February 28, 2003: Message edited by: GaladrieloftheOlden ]

I would have to agree with diamond on this one, except that I would also add the line that Treebeard says before they go to Isengard to the best list. I'm not sure what it is, but in the book it was really cool .

Best: That doesn't make sense to me, but then, you are very small. <P>I always like going south. Somehow it feels like going down hill. <P>Worst: The Ents cannot hold back this war. We must weather such things as we have always done.<BR>(Not even close to what happened in the book!)

Best: "AAAUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHH!" (when he sees all the cut-down trees)<P>Worst: "Good shot" (or whatever silly thing he says when the hobbits score that unlikely hit with a rock)

Worst: I have told your name to the ent moot and we have agreed...you are not orcs.<P>Even I am frustrated by this. In fact, I'm frustrated by this guy the whole time he's on screen. I have no Best Line.<P>Sorry about that.

Okay, here's a best line.<BR> <BR>"A wizard should know better!"<P>Not thrilled about that, but it will have to do.

Treebeard/Fangorn:<P>Best Line(s):<P>"Tree? I am no tree. I am an Ent."<P>"I have told your names to the Entmoot.

Is it time to pick a winner yet?

Aragorn - Best and Worst lines:<P>Best: -It's the beards. (when Gimli is explaining dwarf women)<P>-They do not come to destroy Rohan’s crops or villages. They come to destroy its people. Down to the last child! (Cutting right to the point)<P>I have no submission for worst line, at least not yet.

This isn't just Aragorn but I hate the bit where he's dreaming of Arwen and says "I am dreaming" and she replies "then it is a good dream". How's that for dodgy? (or maybe it's just me)

Aragorn's best:<BR>- War is upon you...can't remember the rest of the line, guess thats a sign I need to watch it again! <BR>- Then I shall die as one of them!<BR>- ...To destroy the world of men<BR> Can't think of any worst lines<P>Oh hey I'm a Shade! Go me!!

Beruthiel, it's "Open war is upon you, whther you would risk it or not." <P>Best~When he is describing Merry and Pip's escape from the Rohirrim/Uruk tangle. It's just really really cool. That and "Then I shall die as one of them!"<P>Worst~Hmmmm...thinking...thinking...think ing...? Ok! "It was a dream, Arwen, nothing more." That just sounds really harsh and mean, like "I hate you it hurts me to look at you go away!"

I liked "Riders of Rohan! What news from the Mark?" but have not quite decided which one is the <I>best.</I> Or the worst, for that matter.

<B>Best:</B> <BR>"For Rohan.

Aragorn ~<P>Best Line/s:<P>"Open war is upon you, whether you would risk it or not."<P>I also liked when he says to Eowyn:<P>"You are a daughter of kings, a shieldmaiden of Rohan. I do not think that will be your fate."<P>I can't decide on a worst line as of yet.
