That is a cute quote, HI! Gandalf says to Bilbo and the dwarves:

Quote:

Warriors are busy fighting one another in distant lands, and in this neighbourhood heroes are scarce, or simply not to be found.

HerenIstarion · 11-06-2002, 01:47 AM

yes, Esty, That's it. Thanks for the compliment, BTW

*bows

well, proceed [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Revive none including the giants; you will not be taken away dead as slowly as impossible.

HerenIstarion · 11-07-2002, 01:48 AM

that's Grishnakh quarreling with Ugluk and others over Pipppin and Merry:

Quote:

Kill all but not the Halfings; they are to be brought back alive as quickly as possible

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-07-2002, 04:17 AM

Well, HI, the name of the speaker is not specifically mentioned, but the quote is correct and I consider the question answered well enough. Go ahead with a new one.

HerenIstarion · 11-07-2002, 06:37 AM

ah, but who else that 'deep voice' may be? Still more who else beside Ugluk had 'orders'?

Anyways, easy one to follow:

Quote:

Fili is not the thinnest, so was undone by one

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-09-2002, 12:28 PM

The opposite of Fili and thinnest had to be Bombur and fattest, so this one was just a matter of searching for the right passage in the Hobbit. Gandalf says:

Quote:

Bombur is fattest and will do for two.

HerenIstarion · 11-11-2002, 01:15 AM

correct [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-13-2002, 08:51 AM

Here's a new one:

Quote:

You take the feeling of none which you hate from none which you undo.

LePetitChoux · 11-13-2002, 10:12 AM

I give a numbness for one which I love for all that I do.

As a wild guess

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-13-2002, 10:28 AM

'Love' is right, but the rest isn't even close - keep trying! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion · 11-14-2002, 03:04 AM

sounds like Lorien:

Quote:

we put the thought of all that we love into all that we make

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-14-2002, 05:10 AM

But who says it?

HerenIstarion · 11-14-2002, 05:55 AM

Ah sorry Estelyn. It was said by some unnamed leader of 'elves that could speak their tongue'

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-14-2002, 07:01 AM

Precisely - go ahead!

HerenIstarion · 11-15-2002, 04:54 AM

well well

Quote:

Because that was murmured as Boatpool

LePetitChoux · 11-15-2002, 11:25 AM

So this is shouted for Shipland

?

?

HerenIstarion · 11-16-2002, 02:02 AM

nay, dear Mr. Cabbage, it's a bit trickier [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] than that

LePetitChoux · 11-17-2002, 05:57 AM

Hint? (I've not got got much experience in quote guessing games) [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

hobbitlass · 11-17-2002, 12:23 PM

My guess....
Why is it called Carrock?

HerenIstarion · 11-18-2002, 12:48 AM

yes, hobbitlass, you hit it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

proceed

Two policemen unfairly get the same

LePetitChoux · 11-22-2002, 10:08 AM

Is it really that hard, or is nobody bothering to post?

[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
And I worked so hard... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-22-2002, 10:30 AM

Can you give us a clue? I don't know where to start looking yet...
(btw, cute avatar picture! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

LePetitChoux · 11-22-2002, 10:40 AM

It is in RotK, if that helps.

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-24-2002, 06:16 AM

LePetitChoux, I'm still hunting, but can you give another clue? I'm not sure if my 'translation' of opposites is right - I thought 'one' for the first word and 'difference' for the last one, but I have no idea what the opposite of policemen could be!

LePetitChoux · 11-24-2002, 06:44 AM

Gosh, I thought it was good at the time... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] I'll have to change it...it is pretty confusing, now I come to think of it...
OK, here is the new, refurbished quote.

Quote:

Two sponsors are unworthy of the same one

Hopefully thats better.... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Orodoliel · 11-24-2002, 07:05 AM

One thief deserves another?

LePetitChoux · 11-24-2002, 03:45 PM

Yes. I'm sure you know who said it, but its in the rules that you must state the speaker [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Orodoliel · 11-25-2002, 01:56 PM

Sorry, i've no idea who said it, anyone who does can go right ahead.

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-25-2002, 02:22 PM

'Twas Saruman, speaking of the tobacco pouch when he met Gandalf and the hobbits on their way back to the Shire.

Orodoliel, you did the hard part, getting the quote - would you like to make up the next one?

Orodoliel · 11-26-2002, 12:33 PM

No, you go right ahead. You got the whole answer.

Anyway, I prefer guessing quotes to making them up.

Quote:

Her joy she may remember, and it might lighten her mind, and she will forget folly.

LePetitChoux · 11-26-2002, 02:06 PM

His pain he will forget, or it will darken his mind, or he will remember wisdom.

I was just gussing so its probably wrong...clue please? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Iknow i'm boring [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-26-2002, 04:04 PM

That's pretty close, LePetitChoux - try looking in RotK...

LePetitChoux · 11-27-2002, 12:36 PM

I cannot find it! Which book is it in (5 or 6)? I was sure it was the speech that Elrond said in the film, "That wound will never fully heal"-i.e. concerning Frodo's Nazgul stabbing. Am I anwhere near?

Estelyn Telcontar · 11-27-2002, 12:56 PM

It's in Book V, and it's not Frodo's wound - think of another wounded Hobbit!

LePetitChoux · 11-27-2002, 01:44 PM

Thanks! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

His grief he will not forget; but it will not darken his heart, it will teach him wisdom.

That was so silly of me...I read that part yesterday! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
