What's your fav. line in the movies or the books?

[Olorin]

Hey everyone! The books and movies have had so many great lines. What's everyone's fav? From the book mine is "Many who die deserve life and many who live deserve death. Can you give it to them? Don't be too eager to deal out death in judgment for even the very wise cannot see all ends" and from the movie, I like my sig.

[lord of dor-lomin]

I love at the end of the council of Elrond when Pippen asks "where are we goin'?".

[eleanor_niphredil]

" stupid FAT Hobbit!"

[Balin999]

The one that you posted, olorin, is one of the best quotes of LotR, in my opinion.
I also like "Thag you very buch" (Hobbit), "Fool of a took!" and "You have to throw me" (Movie)

"Do not scorn pity that is the gift of a gentle heart, Eowyn!"

[Artalwen]

Can it be a whole part of the books, or movie, also? Because I like the entire part of the scene with Aragorn and Gimli "You have to throw me"..."Don't tell the elf".

In the books, my favorite part ever is when Gimli and Legolas compete to see who kills the most...that made me laugh the first time I read it.

[Beruthiel]

From the movie:

Would you like me to describe it to you ro should I find you a box

and

YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!

From the books

Well, I'm back

[The Saucepan Man]

From the books, too many to mention.

But from the films: "They have a cave troll!" - [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] - it's just the way he says it.

[Finiel]

Yeah, the way Sean Bean says it was cool.

But from the book:

But I am Strider, fortunately. I am Aragorn son of Arathorn. And if by my life or death I can save you, I will.

this qoute defines Aragorn's macho-superhero stuff.

and the:

Ai! Ai! A Balrog has come!

just makes me laugh. Legolas sounded like he was in a girlish fright. hee hee

[Balin999]

Are you afraid? Your are not afraid enough!

Aragorn is such a macho!

[Rina]

A favorite quote from TTT the movie is Gollum saying "What's taters, precious?" The exchanges between he and Sam are also rather humorous in the book.

[Airehiriel]

I also like the part where Gimli and Aragorn are getting ready to jump over and fit the Uruk-Hai, and Gimli, take a quick look says,
"Toss me." And Aragorn looks surprised,
"I cannot make the jump, you'll have to toss me." He gets ready to go, and then thinks twice and says, "And don't tell the elf."
It harkens back to the first movie where he says "Nobody tosses a dwarf!"
I also love many of Gollum's lines. The one where he ducks down as Sam walks close and says "Nice hobbit." And then where he says to Sam, (after the great, "What are taters, precious? What are taters, eh?") Give us fish, raw and wwwwwwringgling. You keep nasty chips."
In the FotR I like the line where Legolas says that he can't tell them what the words are to the lement for Gandalf, "For me, the grief is still to near."

[Meela]

Theoden:

Where is the horse and the rider,
Where is the horn that was blowing,
They have passed like rain on the mountain,
Like wind in the meadow
The days come down in the west
Behind the hills, to shadow...

[Lossentilien]

Eomer:
"I would cut off your head, dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground."
Legolas:
"You would die before your sword fell."

It's funny and shows how Legolas and Gimli have progressed.
Also the "fetch you a box" comment. Oh, and Gimli talking to Eowyn, something like:
"this had lead to the belief that there are no dwarf women..."
Aragorn whispers:
"It's the beards"

The happiest bit was Sam's speech about stories and songs. The saddest bit was "Don't you know your Sam?"

Sorry, there are too many, I'll just stop there before I end up typing out the whole script.

[Earendil evening star]

My favourite line has to be

"They have a cave troll!"

It's just the way he says it that makes me laigh every time. Sean Bean rules as Boromir!!

FrOM tHe MoViE:

Shall I describe it to you? Or would you like me to find you a box?

It's talking Merry. The tree is talking.

Arg! I’ll have no pointy-ear outscoring me!

I cannot jump the distance so you have to toss me. Ehh.. Don’t tell the elf.

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[Aragorn2002]

I like in the 2nd movie when gimli's standing at the Wall of Helm's Deep.

What's Happening, I can't see anything

Would you like me to describe it to you or would you like me to bring you a box.
________
Mflb.

[nevlhachien]

i like the part in the 2 movie when Legolas tells Aragorn, "you're late. you look terrible." its the way he says it.
in the book and the movie i love the parts where Legolas and Gimli are competing to see who kills the most orcs.
i do have more faves but if i write them all....the list would never end....

[aragornreborn]

My favorite part of the book is this:

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not whither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall springl
Renewed shall be the blade that was broken:
The crownless again shall be king.

And then after that when Aragorn says just who he is and what he does.

[dragoneyes]

That bit when Frodo says he can't carry water in his pockets. I quite like most of Treebeard's speech and when they find out how lond it takes to say everything in entish at the Ent moot.

[lord of dor-lomin]

I've always loved Bilbo's farewell. I don't have my book but you know what I mean "..half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you.."

[Sapphire_Flame]

Ooooo, too many good quotes!!

First, the Movies:

It's talking Merry. The tree is talking.

Don't talk to it Merry. Don't encourage it.

Shall I describe it to you? Or would you like me to find you a box?

The closer we are to danger, the farther we are from harm; it'll be the last thing he expects.

They have a cave troll.

Both:

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

What's taters, precious? What's taters, eh?

Books only:

Do you know, I guessed it was you in the black ships. But they were all shouting corsairs and wouldn't listen to me.

Gandalf has been saying many cheerful things like that. He seems to think I need keeping in order.

I'll have more later!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

[Legolas]

Gandalf:

Despair or folly? It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not. It is wisdom to recognize necessity, when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may appear to those who cling to false hope.

Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.

A king will have his way in his own hall, be it folly or wisdom.

The treacherous are ever distrustful.

We meet again. At the turn of the tide. The great storm is coming, but the tide has turned.

Aragorn:

Few other griefs amid the ill chances of this world have more bitterness and shame for a man’s heart than to behold the love of a lady so fair and brave that cannot be returned.

Denethor:

Pride would be folly that disdained help and counsel at need;

Legolas:

Few can foresee whither their road will lead them, till they come to its end.

I'll add more later.

Faramir: Nazgul!!! (movie)

Eomer: Rohirrim!!!! (movie)

[Peri]

I LOVE the part from TTT when Gimli says "Bring your pretty face to my axe!" I loved that!

[Everlen]

I have one ultimate favorite from the book... which I hope will be in the movie so badly, which is, "But no living man am I! You look upon a woman! Eowyn I am, Eomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord anf kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him."

Others I must emphasis from the movie are
Faramir: "Who are you? His body guard?"
Sam: "His gardener."
and
(When Aragorn has taken Frodo upstairs at the Prancing Pony and the other three hobbits run in)
Sam: "Let him go! Or I'll have you, longshanks!"
Also
The way Frodo says, "Sam, we're still in the shire. What could possibly happen!?" Its great!
I'll shut up now. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

[Duncariel]

My favorite line from the books is in Helm's Deep and Legolas says "Would that this night would end, and I could have better light for shooting."

And in the extended edition : "Why doesn't that surprise me".

TTT: "Should I describe it for you or would you like me to go find you a box?"

Why are they all Legolas? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

oh, and when Frodo is going to look into Galadriel's mirror: "What will I see?"

My signature, because it shows so much wisdom, power and emotion in Gandalf. I love a lot of things that Gandalf says to Denethor, and in the Council of Elrond. He's probably just about my favorite character. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

[Donlammenion]

Before this quote as sam starts to cook the rabbit smeagol turns and in an anguished voice says "you ruins it you ruins it stupid fat hobbit".
[QUOTE] [And then where he says to Sam, (after the great, "What are taters, precious? What are taters, eh?") Give us fish, raw and wwwwwwringgling. You keep nasty chips."]
After that sam says "now you cant say theres many that would turn that down not even you"
Smeagol looks at the ground then like a child says "we could" to which sam gives up.

[Finnguala]

"THEN I SHALL DIE AS ONE OF THEM!"
(Aragorn)
And then the look on Legolas' face.....

In Fellowship: "NO one tosses a dwarf! (he jumps) Gaaahhhh! Not the beard!" In Two Towers: "Toss me." "What?" "Toss me. I can't jump that far. Just don't tell the elf." In Return of the King: yet to be determined.

[doug*platypus]

Book:
"I cannot read the fiery letters," said Frodo in a quavering voice.

New from Movies (FOTR extended):
"Bilbo, have you been at the Gaffer's homebrew?"
"No... well, yes, but that isn't the point!"

Ian Holm is the greatest.

[Boromir's Lady]

So many from the book I can't decide...
There are quite a few in the movie 'Fellowship' too (See sig quote)

A few of my favorite quotes in Two Towers movie (since it's so fresh in my mind)

King Theoden:

Where is the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? They have passed like rain on the mountains. Like wind in the meadow. The days have gone down in the west. Behind the hills, into shadow. How did it come to this?

and

Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awate. Now for wrath. Now for ruin. And the red dawn!

And this scene between Sam and Frodo:

Frodo: I can’t do this, Sam.

Sam: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened. But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.

Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?

Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

I really didnt have a favorite while reading the book maybe i might when the movie comes out. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Gollum freak [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

[Mithril]

I think one of my favorite lines would be "Stupid, fat hobbit." - Gollum That's my favorite right off the top of my head.

I loved this line so much, it's part of my signature.
"If you're referring to the incident with the dragon, I was barely involved. All I did was give your uncle a little nudge out of the door."
-Gandalf

My dad and I get a laugh out of that one every time we hear it!

[luin'loki]

My fav lines were from the movies(extended and reg.)
1.Shall I describe it to you, or send for a box?-Legolas to Gimli
2.What about elevenses? Or lunch, or tea?*gets hit with an apple*-Pippin

My favorite line is when ever Gollum talks but the best line is when he says "you stupid fat hobbit" i just love that part. i aslo love it when Gandalf says, Fool of a Took! Next time, throw yourself in and rid us of your stupidity!"i love that on too.i find myself using those lines in real life now
