Any time that Frodo says Gandalf in the movies makes me laugh. Think about it. In the Mines of Moria after Gandalf falls, Frodo goes "Gandalf!!" and then when Frodo wakes up in bed in Minas Tirith at the end of ROTK and goes"Gandalf?!"

Then one of my all time favorites, "A wizard is never late Frodo Baggins, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to."

And also if you watch ROTK the bed scene which I mentioned above and Merry and Pippin jump on the bed and then Merry does sort of a swan dive onto the bed. Then next shot is a close up of Frodo's face but you can see the profiles of Dominic Monaghan (merry) and Billy boyd (pippin) and Billy looks like he says "What was that?" (I assume he is referring to Dom's little belly flop) and then he says something else after that and I can't for the life of me figure out what he says and I really want to know! If I ever met those two that would be the first thing I would ask them. but any way back to the quotes.

My all time favorite quote is Onen i-estel Edain, u-chebin estel anim, because it's so hauntingly beautiful; an inescapable doom is upon her. (It translates to; I gave my hope to the Edain, I have kept no hope for myself).
