Merry: "You're sure this isn't some carnival game, where I will be pelted until I am dropped into a tub of water?"
Aragorn: "Of course not. Look sharp now and move the stilts on, as the orcs will believe that Birnam Woods is marching on Dunsinane."
Merry: "But I thought that Tolkien disowned Shakespeare because of the Midsummer elves."
Aragorn: "He did, he did. But that didn't stop him from borrowing the moving trees idea."
