Theoden also took another line from Eomer in the movie. In the book, the Eomer finds Eowyn "dead" on the battlefield and says:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>"Eowyn, how come you here? What madness or devilry is this? Death, death, death! Death take us all!" ... Over the field rang his clear voice calling:<B>Death! Ride to ruin and world's ending!" ... the Rohirrim sang no more. <I>Death</I> they cried with one voice loud and terrible, </B>and gathering speed ... their battle swept about their fallen king and passed, roaring away southwards.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> <P>I was disappointed when Theoden used "Death!" as his rallying cry, because then I knew Eomer wouldn't have his scene with Eowyn.<P>Also, in the movie Pippin says: "The eagles are coming! The eagles are coming!" which in the book were the last lines he heard before falling unconcious beneath the troll.<P>-Lily<p>[ 10:16 PM January 05, 2004: Message edited by: Lily Bracegirdle ]
