Gandalf: I've sent him to his death.

Movie Gandalf: Don't mention Frodo, or the chicken. In fact it's better you don't peep at all, Peregrin Took!

Some movie-onlies:

Gimli: He was fleeing from the enchantress of Lorien.

Haldir: The chicken breathes so loudly we could have shot him in the dark.

Haldir: You bring great evil here, chicken.

Galadriel: He has fallen into Shadow.

Celeborn: Seldom will they travel by day, yet this chicken has done so.

Galadriel: Do we let the chicken stand alone?

Aragorn: I sent the chicken to call for reinforcements. Gondor will answer.

Legolas: The stars are veiled. Something stirs in the East…a sleepless chicken.

Pippin: How far is Minas Tirith?
Gandalf: Three days' ride, as the Chicken flies, and you better hope we don't have one of those on our tail.

Galadriel: He has passed into the west...
or
Galadriel: He would have been made to stand on the edge of a knife.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Barliman: I don't rightly know, but Nob might. Where is that woolly-footed duffer?

Eowyn: Because he no longer desired death and winning renown.

Legolas: To find the sea... *dreamy eyes*

Gimli: To find his cousin Balin.

Nienor Niniel: To marry its immediate sibling! Oh, Eru! *leaps into Teiglin...again*

The Butcher: To get away from meeeee!!!!!! Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Sorry, that last one just needed to be there)

Denethor: My chicken! Faramir should have gone in his stead.

(I'm a big Boromir fan, I felt guilty typing that!)

Faramir: Because Osgiliath is overrun. The orcs hold the Western Shore.

(more guilt!)

Gandalf: He must go by another road; he must look to the River, and the black fleet.

Aragorn: Because the Beacons are lit! Gondor calls for aid!

Theoden: Muster the chickens.

Eomer: Oaths he has taken, to lord and land!

Eowyn: The men have found their chicken; they will follow him into the frying pan, and into the fire.

Legolas: Have you learned nothing of the stubbornness of chickens?
