Quote:

Now! No, when I lack the locks of Lad-Galad itself you know; and the boots of eight queens, and the ropes of six muggles, and have sold myself an odd number of stilettos no sizes smaller than these I take off then.

Whooo, that was long! If its too difficult, tell me please... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

(Correct answer, by the way...)

LePetitChoux · 11-30-2002, 10:18 AM

Nobody? Is it really that hard? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Orodoliel · 11-30-2002, 02:03 PM

It is Saruman:

"Later! Yes, when you also have the Keys of Barad-dur itself, I suppose; and the crowns of seven kings, and the rods of the Five Wizards, and have purchased yourself a pair of boots many sizes larger than those that you wear now.

He is talking to Gandalf in The Voice of Saruman.

I think.

LePetitChoux · 11-30-2002, 06:52 PM

Yay!!!! It's right!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

-Imrahil- · 11-30-2002, 07:06 PM

Cool game!

Orodoliel · 12-01-2002, 03:31 AM

"You despair so," thought ___. "You want to be both!"

Who and Where?

LePetitChoux · 12-01-2002, 04:26 AM

"I hope so," thought ________."I don't want to be both."
That was just a literal translation, btw. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Orodoliel · 12-01-2002, 11:52 AM

That's quite close!
But not quite there.
If no one has got it in a couple of days I'll post a clue.

LePetitChoux · 12-01-2002, 03:51 PM

It sounds like a Frodo thing to say, in RotK, but I'm probably wrong... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Orodoliel · 12-02-2002, 01:35 PM

Nope! It's not Frodo, nor is it in the Return of the King.

As a clue I'll say...

It's in FotR.

Orodoliel · 12-05-2002, 12:41 PM

Anyone?

It's said by Sam in the FotR.
Is it hard or has no one seen it?

Orual · 12-05-2002, 07:09 PM

Yeah, it was Sam in FotR, he says "I hope not! I don't want to be neither!" in response to Frodo's joke that he'd be a warrior or a wizard by the end of the quest.

~*~Orual~*~

Orodoliel · 12-06-2002, 12:29 PM

Yep!
That's right Orual! Go ahead when you're ready!

LePetitChoux · 12-12-2002, 11:38 AM

Orual? I think we've lost him. Oh deary, deary me! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

On a happier note, I will steal the turn, if it may be called stealing, and try to baffle all of you with...

Quote:

She is cheap to me, you smell. And her laziness is two that I hope to succeed? It hasn't. Or later she was succumbing to the fast carefreeness of days, as short and fast as your arts in the small valley can't contrive, and always be imprisoned, especially definitely when she is the same and mended, so that she won't go from me and I won't smell what I haven't done.

Good luck! That was very long! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

"He was dear to you, I see. Or else his errand was one that you did not wish to fail? It has. And now he shall endure the slow torment of years, as long and slow as our arts in the Great Tower can contrive, and never be released, unless maybe when he is changed and broken, so that he may come to you, and you shall see what you have done."

LePetitChoux · 12-14-2002, 07:01 AM

Quote:

You have grown, halfling. Yes, you have grown very much. You are wise, and cruel. You have robbed my revenge of sweetness, and now I must go hence in bitterness, in debt to your mercy. I hate it and you!

Honestly, people! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Am I too clever for you? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

mordor136 · 12-17-2002, 11:54 AM

Is your signiture written in Russian HerenIstarion? just guessing

LePetitChoux · 12-17-2002, 02:12 PM

Yes, it is from a book called "Master i Margarita" which means "The Master and Margaret" [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I am aware that I'm not HerenIstarion, but hey. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion · 12-18-2002, 07:43 AM

thanks LePetitChoux

it may be translated as:

...I'm not fooling around, not touching anyone, merely repairing my primus stove...

Here's the next backwards quote for you:

Quote:

Since you do not have to fail and go away; but it will be undone by standing and feeling.

LePetitChoux · 12-20-2002, 10:04 AM

Quote:

So I must succeed and come; and it won't be done by sitting and thinking.

It sounds like Bilbo, or Sam, ofr the Gaffer...someone like that. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-20-2002, 01:45 PM

LePetitChoux, you have the last part of the quote precisely right, and your guess as to the speaker isn't far off. Keep thinking... or reading!

LePetitChoux · 12-22-2002, 05:43 AM

Which book is it in? (1-6) [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Estelyn Telcontar · 12-22-2002, 08:44 AM

Book 1 [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

That's it, Beren87! Good job, and welcome to the game! Your turn to come up with one now...

hobbitlass · 12-27-2002, 11:05 AM

Ha Ha Ha! I think you ought to take your signature picture's advice, Lepetitchoux! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Besides they have a couple more days before they have to post, and you'll have to wait it out. Slowly and torturously and with great agony! MUUUHAHAHAHA! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Good Luck!

"We can't be far behind of them," said .........., "They don't have many in here"

Just an approximation [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 · 12-29-2002, 05:58 PM

Haha, well....Its not "directly" backwards if you get my meaning. You'll have to actually look for a quote to fit it.
