I know! And Eowyn's Old English is pretty impressive too.

That was probably my favourite moment though.

Not to mention that Ian McKellen and Viggo demonstrated more knowledge of the source material than PJ and P Boyens combined.
When they started talking about writing more exquisitely than Tolkien, the only scene I could think of where this possibly applied is the one they brought up, with "I cannot / shall not pass". I could not think of any other line I would rather hear in movie script form than in book form.
But that aside, I feel like Merry and Pippin kinda took their characters to real life. It was fun to watch.
