I still love Gollum's line from The Two Towers:

"What's taters, eh, precious--what's taters?"

...And also these bits of narration from The Hobbit:

"Yes, I am afraid trolls do behave like that, even those with only one head each."

"You're a fat fool, William," said Bert, "as I've said afore this evening."
"And you're a lout!"
"And I won't take that from you, Bill Huggins," says Bert, and puts his fist in William's eye.
