I think the worse line in TTT is when Sam crawls over to Frodo in the cave and says. "Mr. Frodo, you can do it." I don't know why it irritates me, maybe because I want to reply with "Nicorett can help." because I have seen that commercial too many times. Also I think it is because I am reminded of that "You can do it!!" guy with the Mexican accent in Water Boy. <P>Back to the Gimli cursing thing. I think in that scene in the book he said, "Plague on the stiff necks of elves." And Aragorn replied, "Plague on the stiff necks of drawves." Only it was in the common tongue. I am probably wrong because I have only read the Fellowship once.
