[Guinevere]

? But Mariska is right! Gandalf says indeed to Denethor: " For I am also a steward. Did you not know?" (in "Minas Tirith")
Well, probably this question is asked more than once... smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/wink.gif

[lothiriel]

Well, it was not that quote I was thinking of. Post a new quote if you want, but it would be fun if you could find the one I was thinking of... smilies/smile.gif

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I will search until I find it!! smilies/smile.gif

[The Saucepan Man]

It's best if you choose quotes that aren't likely to have multiple answers, folks.

[Beren87]

Imrahil to Eomer, about the lady Eowyn.

[lothiriel]

That´s correct!

[Beren87]

I will ride now to the hold

[Evisse the Blue]

Theoden in "the Muster of Rohan", to Dunhere: "I will ride now to the Hold, and there before I go to rest I will meet my marshals and captains. Let them come to me as soon as may be."

[Khamel]

what about:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i will bear no weapon be it foul or fair
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Guinevere]

Frodo says that to Sam in Mordor, near Mt.Doom, when they cast away things to lighten the load.

[ October 16, 2003: Message edited by: Guinevere ]

[Arvedui III]

*Bump*

I think Guinevere has it.

[The Perky Ent]

Since it's been over ten days, sorry Guinevere, but i'm taking over the thread. here's a quote:

How far is there to go?

[Sleepy Ranger]

Frodo to Sam in chapter 3-Mount Doom.

[The Perky Ent]

That's right Sleepy, your turn!

BTW, chapter 3? What's up with that?

[Sleepy Ranger]

BTW, chapter 3? What's up with that?
I was just bored an had too much time on my hands so I gave a bit of unneeded information.
Next quote-
I am in great unrest
Heres the next one

[Mariska Greenleaf]

That was Eowyn talking to the Warden of the Houses of Healing.

[Sleepy Ranger]

right on Mari.
Your turn

[Sleepy Ranger]

Mari wake up its your turn.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Thanks Sleepy!


Let him come on...

[Sleepy Ranger]

Gandalf at the Last Debate.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Good job!:smokin:

[Sleepy Ranger]

Next Quote. I'm swamped with threads so please don't min if I don'treply for a while. Thank you :)
wind is changing

[Evisse the Blue]

That would be Ghan-buri-Ghan to Theoden.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Yep. That would be correct. Its your turn. Give a hard one.:)

[Evisse the Blue]

You want a hard one? Oookay, how's this:
Anyway it's too late now

[Sleepy Ranger]

Bilbo to Frodo and Sam

[Evisse the Blue]

So much for hard.:rolleyes: Go on!:)

[Sleepy Ranger]

What are you doing here?

[rutslegolas]

i think its frodo to boromir.

hope its correct

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I don't want to take away your hope, Rutslegolas, but this topic is specifically about quotes from ROTK, so the possibility of it being Boromir is rather small, don't you think?

Anyways, it's Gandalf to Pippin.

[Sleepy Ranger]

My, my Mari you're gettin' good. Make sure the next one is hard.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

You want hard?
How about this:

that sounds more hopeful.

:smokin:

[Sleepy Ranger]

Wow Mari I'm stumped.............NOT.
Butterbur to Gandalf if my memory serves.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Somehow I knew you would come up with the answer right away.

[Sleepy Ranger]

can't you do something?

[gilraën]

That's Pippin to Gandalf about Denethor?

[Sleepy Ranger]

Right. Thats correct.

[gilraën]

Thanks :)

Let them come to me

[rutslegolas]

denethor to gandalf?????

[gilraën]

I'm afraid not. :)

[Sleepy Ranger]

Theoden to Gandalf. If its correct don't expect a new quote for some time I don't have my books.

[gilraën]

Yes That's the one :)

[Sleepy Ranger]

open it

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I wondered when you would think of it, said Frodo, "open it!"

Frodo to Sam.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Yea, Hmm nothin' on my 2 minutes?
Your turn.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I think I'll never break your record Sleepy, it's kinda hard if you're posting from work, handling the book, trying to hide it from your boss...

What then would you have

[Estanesse]

Gandalf to Denethor

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Yes, Estanesse!;)

[Estanesse]

Fear no darkness

Good luck :D

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Theoden :

"To me! To me!", cried Theoden, "Up Eorlingas! Fear no darkness!"

[Estanesse]

I should have said ‘easy and too easy for Mariska Greenleaf’ :D

[Mariska Greenleaf]

:D

That you certainly are not.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Gimli to Sam

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Your turn Sleepy!:)

[Arvedui III]

*Bump*

Sleepy?

[Sleepy Ranger]

How is Harry?
Yes, thats from LoTR

[Firefoot]

That would be Gandalf to the Gate-Keeper when they returned to Bree.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Yes thats it.

[Firefoot]

That is a glad word.Any takers?

[symestreem]

Halbarad Dunadan to Eomer as the Grey Company enters Rohan.

[Firefoot]

Yep.

[symestreem]

It is the last stroke of doom!

doom, doom, doom, doom, doom, doom

Six o'clock by the strokes of doom! ;)

*ducks rotten fruit* Sorry.

[Durelin]

I think rotten vegetables is more accurate.

Gandalf to Theoden?

Bah...that's a guess if there ever was one. I need to read the books again... :(

[Arvedui III]

Herm...it sounds like the soldiers on the wall of Minas Tirith when they saw the black-sailed ships.

[symestreem]

Arvedui is correct.
*goes to wash off rotten tomatoes*

[Arvedui III]

Thank you. *Hands symestreem some soap* Herm, let's see here. Ah, got one.
"...the staff he leaned upon."

[Sleepy Ranger]

Gandalf to Eomer?

[Arvedui III]

Yup, that it is. Your go.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Folk have suffered
.....

[Galadel Vinorel]

Eowyn to Theoden?

[Sleepy Ranger]

nope

[Lindir]

Barliman to Gandalf?

[Sleepy Ranger]

nope

[Sleepy Ranger]

Could you atleast try?

[Sirithheruwen]

Very VERY random guess: Gandalf to Frodo?
Or, Galadriel to Frodo?

[Firefoot]

Um, maybe Farmer Cotton said it to the hobbits?

[Sleepy Ranger]

nope.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

boromir to aragorn?

[Sirithheruwen]

Aragorn to Gandalf
OR
Gandalf to Aragorn
?

[Sleepy Ranger]

nope- Check towards the end.

[Firefoot]

Ah, here it is - Sam said it to Frodo, Merry, and Pippin when they were talking about what to do with his dirt from Galadriel.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Yes. Good job Firefoot. :)

[Firefoot]

Thanks.do not fear.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Legolas to Aragorn?

[Firefoot]

Nope.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Stop smiling I'm not beaten yet. ;)

The Return of the King
Book V
Chapter II - The Passing of the Gray Company
'I also will come,' said Legolas, 'for I do not fear the dead.'

Prove that wrong if you can, my friend. :D

[Firefoot]

Well, I can't prove it wrong, but I was thinking of it in a different place. And in case it is in yet another location, I will add another word: "But do not fear."

[Sleepy Ranger]

In which case I will not return until it has been found.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Eowyn to Aragorn.....
'I do not fear death or pain'

Bergil to Merry
'But do not fear! They will come back.'

Take your pick mate or is there still another left uncovered? :)

[Firefoot]

It's the second one I was thinking of. Go ahead!

[Sleepy Ranger]

fail of their seeds
Try away

[Firefoot]

Legolas to Gimli?

[Sleepy Ranger]

right you are. :)

[Firefoot]

Thanks. :) I'm not so hopeful.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Sam to Pippin?

[Firefoot]

Yes.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

We promised to wait for them here.

Says who?

[Firefoot]

Merry to the Ruffians.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Correct!

[Firefoot]

Thanks.Do you not yet understand?

[Sleepy Ranger]

Nice to see you Mari. Its been long. Where've you been?
Anyhow its Gandalf to the our four little hobbit friends, isn't it?

[Firefoot]

Yep.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Bring news
Newspapers in ME

[Lûthien Nénharma]

here are my favorite songs from RotK, I dont care if one is in the ending credits:

Oh you can search far and wide, you can drink the whole ground dry, but you'll never find a beer so brown as the one we drink in our hometown. Oh you can drink your fancy ales, you can drink em by the flagan, but the only brew for the brave and true comes from the green dragon.

home is behind, the world ahead, and there are many paths to tread. thru shadow to the edge of night. Until the stars are all alight. Mist and shadow, cloud and shade, All shall fade. All shall fade...

Lay down your sweet and weary head. Night is falling, you have come to journeys end. Sleep now. Dream of the ones you came before. They are calling from across the distant shore. Why do you weep?What are these tears upon your face? Soon you will see all of your fears will pass away. Safe in my arms, you're only sleeping. What can you see on the horizon? Why do the white gulls call? Across the sea a pale moon rises. The ships have come to carry you home. And all will turn to silver glass. A light on the water, all souls pass. Hope fades into the world of night. Through shadows falling out of memory and time. Dont say we have come now to the end. White shores are calling. You and I will meet again. And you'll be here in my arms just sleeping. What can you see on the horizon? Why do the white gulls call? Across the see a pale moon rises. The ships have come to carry you home.And all will turn to silver glass, a light on the water, grey ships pass into the west. :rolleyes:

[The Saucepan Man]

Lûthien Nénharma, as I explained in the Videogame Quotes thread, the general idea of the games here is to try to guess who said the quote posted by the question-setter. If you are right, then you get to ask the next question. Check out the Quotable Quotes rules (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/showthread.php?t=6004) for further guidance.

The current question was set by Sleepy Ranger just before your post. Feel free to answer by saying who you think said the quote he posted, and to whom.

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

It's Ghân-buri-Ghân in reply to Éomer:
'But our need is for aid in battle,' said Éomer. 'How will you and your folk help us?'
'Bring news,' said the Wild Man.

[Sleepy Ranger]

And thats the correct answer Sir, Would you mind trying the TT: Quote game as well? before I run out of puns...
And England lost.. :confused:
How I hoped they'd win.

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Ah, but you forgot the rule: they never get past the quarter finals. I might pop into the other game today. We'll see.

Returning to the Return:This is a thing of worth beyond your reckoning

[Sleepy Ranger]

Something says its Sauron to Pippin in the Palantir, but something inside my brain says its Merry to Sandyman..
so is it any of the two? :D

Well theres always Netehrlands & Greece :) :D

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Actually it's neither of those. This one isn't as simple as it looks.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Ladies & Gentlemen I hate to say it but I have been defeated and that sort of stuff. I've got a crazy notion but I guess its just a crazy notion and since my books aren't with me(I'm starting to wonder if they really are mine.), I can't try it out.
So with any hopes perhaps a hint or something like that would be in order.
And with any luck I may not yet have been beaten. :)
We need more of these kind of quotes. :)

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

There have only been two guesses, so I'm reluctant to provide a clue at this early stage. After all it's already narrowed down to a single volume of The Lord of the Rings; how much more of a hint do you need? :smokin:

[Son of Númenor]

But Arvedui did not take his counsel. He thanked him, and at parting gave him his ring, saying: "This is a thing of worth beyond your reckoning. For its ancientry alone. It has no power, save the esteem in which those hold it who love my house. It will not help you, but if ever you are in need, my kin will ransom it with great store of all that you desire."(emphasis mine)It is from Appendix A, specifically The North-kingdom and the Dúnedain.

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Spot on. See? It wasn't as hard as all that really.

[Son of Númenor]

Who said it, and in reference to what?Call them so, if you will

[Son of Númenor]

bump

[Guinevere]

Thorin said this to Gandalf, referring to his halls (In the Appendix)

[Sleepy Ranger]

bump back at ya

[rutslegolas]

Where are you bump(Son of Numenor)??

[Son of Númenor]

Sorry for the delay - this is actually the first time I've peaked my head in the Quotable Quotes forum in weeks.

Guinevere, you've got it. :)

[Guinevere]

Thanks!Alas! Then I have guessed rightly.

[Son of Númenor]

Sorry to start a 'back-and-forth' affair, but I recognized this one instantly; it is Gandalf, speaking about his guess that Denethor was in possession of a palantír.

Has anyone else noticed how often the word 'alas' appears in Lord of the Rings dialogues?

[Guinevere]

Oops, I nearly forgot this thread, sorry! :(
Of course your answer is correct, Son of Númenor! :)
And, yes, I've noticed the many instances of "Alas!" as well, and I do like this word! It is not used in every day English anymore, is it?

[Son of Númenor]

It is not used in every day English anymore, is it?Alas, no. :p

I always found this line from Rotk particularly funny:
He does not want them to be.

[rutslegolas]

Gandalf to Aragorn??

[Son of Númenor]

'Fraid not.

[Sleepy Ranger]

I found this quote in TTT but not in RotK, how about a hint?

[Son of Númenor]

The quote is from TTT. That'll teach me to use an online version of Lord of the Rings.

I yield the floor.

[Sapphire_Flame]

If the floor is open, then I will continue:

"It is there that the first blow will fall."

Far too easy, I imagine. But something is better than nothing. ;)

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy ~

[rutslegolas]

Gandalf to Aragorn ( or Pippin ? )

[Sapphire_Flame]

Nope. :D Sorry, try again.

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy ~

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Denethor said this to Faramir.

[Sapphire_Flame]

Ah, huzzah to ye, luthien! That is correct. :D

You may proceed.

Abedithon le,

~ Saphy ~

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Alrighty then... here we go!

"and the day is not far off."

[Sleepy Ranger]

I'm not looking for that, sorry.

[Dimturiel]

It's from book five and it was said by one from the Fellowship.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Aragorn to Bergil!

[Dimturiel]

Well done!

[Sleepy Ranger]

I say thank'ee sai.

spring after winter

[Dimturiel]

I feel like spring after winter, and sun on the leaves; and like trumpets and harps and all the songs I have ever heard! A very beautiful quote said by Sam to Gandalf in "The field of Cormallen".

[Sleepy Ranger]

You speak true. It is a very beautiful quote.
Your turn Dim.

[Dimturiel]

Thanks.keep what honour you may. Good luck!

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Aragorn says this to his soldiers who fearful to continue on to Mordor.
"Go! But keep what honour you may, and do not run!"

[Dimturiel]

So he does :D . Go on.

[luthien-elvenprincess]

Thank you, Dimtiruel :)
