That would be Gimli, talking to Merry and Pippin at the gates of Isengard.

That's the one Sapphire.

Um sorry if i am butting in but, is that Merry to Pippin just before Pippin looks into the Palantir?

Hold on ... wrong room sorry

So I pick a quote now, right? Hm....

"You may well be putting your thinking cap on, if you've got one."

Good luck...

Is that Gandalf? It sounds like Gandalf.

Dondagnirion
"There is no spoon."
"No one ever suspects the butterfly!" - B. Simpson

Not by a long shot! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Try again!

Sounds alot like Gandalf to me. I just can't seem to find it in the book. Let me keep looking.

Oops, I meant to say Sam.

It's Gorbag to Shagrat from The Choices of Master Samwise.

You got it, Lostgaeriel! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Mae carnen!

Your turn.

I just love Gorbag's description of our Samwise as the greatest hero since the Last Alliance.

Sorry, my Elvish isn't very good, but what is 'Mae carnen!'? 'Well done!'? I thought 'Carnen' translated as 'Redwater' (the river flowing down from the Iron Hills to join the River Running).

OK. New quote.

Aragorn when they were tracking Merry and Pippin?

No. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

um, maybe Frodo/Sam in Eymn Muil(can't spell, sorry)

Sorry, Arvedui III, but you're colder than was Firondoiel. Firondoiel was almost correct.

The spirits and wights that haunt this barrow and know me, know that I'm very particular. I want the speaker's name, the person(s) spoken to, and the situation (place or time or chapter).

HINT: Open your copy of The Two Towers.

That quote is on the first page of TTT. Aragorn says it about Frodo at Amon Hen. I don't think he said it to anyone but himself.

Yes! It's Aragorn the quintessential loner talking to himself.

I thought some might forget that The Departure of Boromir is in The Two Towers (unlike the movie).

Well done, Narduewen. Your turn.

Okay let me find one:

"That is not surprising, for it is an art hich we have not practised for more than a few generations."

Ooh, that's easy. I know that one without looking it up. But I'll leave it to some one else - maybe a newcomer to the BD.

That would be Merry, speaking to Theoden at the gates of Isengard.

BTW, great job figuring out Lostgaeriel's quote, Narduewen! I couldn't for the life of me figure out who it was.

And, Lostgaeriel, "Mae carnen" does mean "Well done". It was in the Movie. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Right Sapphire Flame! Merry was talking about how Pipe weed came to be right before Gandalf stopped him, because he knew it go on for a long time. Your turn.

Okay, here's mine:

"They hate us, and they are glad; for our doom seems certain to them."

Good luck...

The leader of the wildmen to Eomer?

Close, but no dice! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Try again!

Was it not Eomer about the Wildmen?

Very good, gilraen! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Your turn!!!

Merry to Pippen sometime after Pippen dropped his leaf of Lorien.

Yes, your go. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Okay, since all of my other quotes seemed to be really easy I will try to find somethiing a little harder.

"And set us a pretty riddle."

I hope this is a challenge, but I don't know, I flipped open a page and found a quote.

Was it Sam to Frodo when they were in the Emen Muil? (Not quite shure how to spell that, sorry =/)

Dondagnirion

That was Legolas, to Merry and Pippin as they told of their escape from the Uruk-hai. It was one of my favorite parts in the Books! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

(BTW, Dondagnirion, it's Emyn Muil.)

That's correct Sapphire Flame. At least I stumped one person! Your turn now!

I don't know whether this is from Towers or not, but.....

"He who breaks a thing to find out what it is, has left the path of wisdom."

Good luck...

That would be Gandalf to Saruman when they were arguing at the parley with Saruman after The Battle Of Helms Deep I think.

Dondagnirion

No, no, no. That quote is NOT from The Two Towers - the Voice of Saruman; it's from The Fellowship of the Ring - The Council of Elrond. It is Gandalf quoting himself while reporting his conversation with the traitor Saruman.

By the way, the quote is not
"He who breaks a thing to find out what it is, has left the path of wisdom."
but rather
'And he that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.'

Just me being nit-picky - again.

I think Sapphire_Flame ought to go back to the book and find us a quote from The Two Towers.

[ April 08, 2003: Message edited by: Lostgaeriel ]

In either case I have got it first. =)

Dondagnirion

Sorry, my friend gave me that quote, and I didn't know where it was from.

Hang on, I'll go find a new one...

Uh, Dondagnirion ... how do you figure that?
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

I correctly identified the quote. And I say Sapphire_Flame should give us one from The Two Towers.
