Theoden pinched my favourite line "Ride to ruin and the world's ending!" Dash it, Kingy, give your nephew some limelight...

And Arwen's banner...ah!...I would have cut Arwen out of the films completely if necessary just to see that banner.
Silly . All of that extra time/footage was scrapped for the much more interesting dwarven drinking/belching, 'counting with the Elf and the Dwarf,' 'The Ghosts and Mr. Gloinzson,' and the love triangle between Gothmog and Eowyn (he really just wanted to hug her). PJ needed those extra minutes to give the 'Tolkien-faithful' these treats.
