In the 'Mount Doom' chapter: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> At the last halt, he sank down and said "I am thirsy, Sam', and did not speak again.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> Interesting point, I did not think before of this line having religious connotations, but now that you mentioned it, it does. However, if I were to choose a line from volume 3 that I would like to make it to the movie unchanged I'd go with the Eowyn -Faramir conversation and especially Eowyn's line: "I will be a healer and love all things that grow and are not barren." I love it - especially in that context. Well- what can I say, we'll have to wait and see. So far, I had a bit of luck with my favourite lines, they made it in (relatively) unchanged. I may stray a little off topic here - but Sam's speech at the end pf TTT actually reflects his thoughts from ROTK when he sees that star shine on the sky through the darkness of Mordor. But - I don't know why they felt the need to cut my favourite line: "In the end the Shadow is only a passing thing, there is light and beauty forever beyond its reach. Don't tell me they thought it was to dense! [ September 10, 2003: Message edited by: Evisse the Blue ]
