You're right, the screenwriters strayed too far from Tolkien's words for there to be any really powerful lines, but there were a few. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> It's me, Mr. Frodo. Don't you know me? Don't you know your Sam? <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>That one got me. Also Sam's whole speech about stories at the end was pretty good. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Then I will die as one of them! <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>from Aragorn at Helms Deep wasn't too bad though it would never have come up in the book. Legolas would never have been despairing enough to prompt it. I also liked Theoden's "Where is the horse and the rider" poem. I wanted more of it.
