the hardest quotes ever!!!!!!!!!!

[vartalion]

howdy there!
this is a thread only for the hardest of all quotes. If you think your up to it, we'll find out! i'll start

Pack up master bag
ps uotes from all LOTR books!! smilies/evil.gif

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Pack up master bag. Wasn't that one of the Rohirrim to Merry in RotK? Elfhelm, maybe?

[Beren87]

This game really doesn't have any unique aspect about it. Please read the Quiz Room Rules (http://forum.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=5&t=000386) which also apply here. Just put a little planning into your games and we can all have more fun with unique and challenging games. Remember, no quote is necessarily harder than any other, especially if they all come from the same series. We already have two quote games dealing with purely LotR.

[Herudaeglin]

Isn't it dernhelm?

[vartalion]

galdriel of the older (?) is right. This thread is unique because the quoates can be from anywhere, anywhere at all. smilies/evil.gif

[Dondagnirion]

Your quote is Eowyn in disquise to Merry when Eowyn tells Merry that she will hide her and carry her on the trip to Gondor with the kings men.

Dondagnirion
"There is no spoon."

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Olden. I am still in school so can't say I'm of the "older" smilies/wink.gif (The name was off the top of my head.) Okay, here's a quote: "...nothing much to give to you young fellows, except good advice." If you need more, I'll post it, but the next sentence sort of gives it away, so I won't post it now. But then, there's too many good quote people out there... smilies/rolleyes.gif smilies/smile.gif

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Oh. Wait. Is it not my turn now? Oops... smilies/rolleyes.gif

[eleanor_niphredil]

it was your turn. the quote is bilbo to merry and Pippin when they return to rivendell.

[Herudaeglin]

Is it Fatty(Fredegar) Some-Hobbitish-Lastname?

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

the quote is bilbo to merry and Pippin when they return to rivendell. Absolutely! Your turn!

[eleanor_niphredil]

thanks. Lets see, a hard one...

Hinder me?

[Salix]

Witch-king to Eowyn, I belive.

[eleanor_niphredil]

yup, it was.

[Salix]

smilies/biggrin.gif Here's my try at a hard one.
I have done my best.

[eleanor_niphredil]

Merry at Isengarde? he has done his best to great the Lord of Rohan with fitting words?

[Lutfiska]

you´re good eleandor smilies/wink.gif that´s my guess too

[Salix]

That's right eleanor_niphredil. You're go.

[eleanor_niphredil]

Thank you. smilies/smile.gif

Is see you are an elf-friend

[Firondoiel]

Goldberry to Frodo?

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

I second that smilies/wink.gif smilies/tongue.gif

[eleanor_niphredil]

yes, it was goldberry. Your turn Firondoiel

[Firondoiel]

Thank you.

"I wonder what he is doing."

Good luck all!

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

One of the hobbits about Gandalf?

[Firondoiel]

Yup, but do you know which one?

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Ummm...Pip?

[Dondagnirion]

Wasnt it Sam while he and Frodo were approaching Mordor?

Dondagnirion

[Firondoiel]

Both wrong.

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Merry? smilies/confused.gif

[Firondoiel]

Yes! He says it on the last page of the chapter "Flotsam and Jetsam" in TTT.

[Firondoiel]

Galadriel? Are you there???

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Sorry, I forfeit. Not itme- packing for California, I just started, and I'm leaving tomorrow at 6:30 smilies/eek.gif Take my turn instead, somebody- will be caught if I stay on computer too long. smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Beren87]

Hmm...I think I'll steal it.

And otherwise shall my doom now be,

[Airehiriel]

Frodo?

[Beren87]

Nope.

[elven maiden Earwen]

Aragorn?

[Beren87]

Again, no.

[elven maiden Earwen]

Eowyn or Farmir

[Beren87]

Neither, and not even close.

[kittiewhirl1677]

Denethor?

Very wild guess. I just read past the part(actually, never mind, no spoilers for people who haven't read RotK yet!) where something happens to Denethor(RotK readers should guess what I mean), and I don't remember if it's from there, but it's a guess. I'm too lazy to check in my book right now.

[Beren87]

Nope, not it either.

[elven maiden Earwen]

Luthien, Beren??

[ April 18, 2003: Message edited by: elven maiden Earwen ]

[Beren87]

No, no, and no.

Make educated guesses at least people.

[Eressië Ailin]

I have found it!!!

It was Thingol to Mablung in Unfinished Tales. But I thought that these were only supposed to be quotes from LoTR... Oh well. This makes it more interesting.

[Beren87]

Correct you are!

But I thought that these were only supposed to be quotes from LoTR.

Nope, that's why it's a valid quote game. These are supposed to be the hardest quotes, so I'm going to pick the hardest quotes.

[Airehiriel]

Eressië Ailin, it's your turn.

[Eressië Ailin]

Sorry!!!! I forgot about this thread!!!! Anyways, here's the next quote:

So might a child threaten a mail-clad knight with a bow of string and green willow!

[Estanesse]

Imrahil Talking about the strength of Gondor comparing with the strength of Mordor

[Eressië Ailin]

That was fast... And I thought I had a hard one! Go ahead, Estanesse!

[Estanesse]

I’m as swift as the winds of Manwe smilies/biggrin.gif

Our advantage in numbers will be enough

[Estanesse]

Is the hardest quotes ever smilies/redface.gif to hard ??
smilies/biggrin.gif

[ May 02, 2003: Message edited by: Estanesse ]

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Hint, please?

~Menelien

[Estanesse]

Sorry, I’m not going to give a hint yet smilies/tongue.gif , because nobody has even try to find this quote.

[Gil-Galad]

i ahev a strange feelign that ist is in the Silmarillion


When all of the free peoples are ready for an assault on Morgoth and Fingon says that to Hurin?

[Estanesse]

No, sorry. It is not a Silmarillion quote

[GaladrieloftheOlden]

Is this from anywhere in LotR, if you could tell us? smilies/tongue.gif

~Menelien

[Estanesse]

smilies/biggrin.gif

Is this from anywhere in LotR, if you could tell us?

Of course I can. NO

[lothiriel]

I have no idea, so I just guess.

Maybe...Aragorn???

[Estanesse]

Nope that’s not it

[gilraën]

Thranduil to Bard before the Battle of the Five Armies?

[Estanesse]

That’s correct. It’s your turn, smilies/smile.gif

[gilraën]

Phew! That took ages to find. Thanks smilies/smile.gif

for the high places were cold and terrible,

[Rivaine]

Gandalf talking about his fight with the Balrog?

[gilraën]

No, sorry. Hint - it's not dialogue.

[gilraën]

Forgive me I got carried away, of course it should be dialogue. I'll repost a proper 'quote'. It's been a long day and I logged in with out having my tea.

'They are lost.'

[Beren87]

Morwen to Hurin.

[gilraën]

Correct smilies/smile.gif

[Beren87]

He speaks with the truth of death

[Elentári]

Galadriel? or was it Celeborn i was thinking of...

[Beren87]

Nope, not really even close.

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Aerin, who was forced by Brodda the Easterling to marry him in Hithlum. She said this after Hopafoot's death (damn I can't remember his real name but you'll know who I mean), as he had said something else which I can't remember regarding something very important. Hmm I hope that was precise enough?

[Beren87]

That was quite possibly correct, and therefor it might be your turn.

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Right.

'There's not a trace left, I say.'

[gilraën]

I think this is it. smilies/smile.gif

Hardly twenty paces from where the hobbits lurked the small orc stopped. 'Nar!' it snarled. 'I'm going home.' It pointed across the valley to the orc-hold. 'No good wearing my nose out on stones any more. There's not a trace left, I say. I've lost the scent through giving way to you. It went up into the hills, not along the valley, I tell you.'

[Gwaihir the Windlord]

Very good, ask away.

[gilraën]

Thanks smilies/smile.gif

You shall not walk long in darkness.

[Beren87]

'Twas Gelmir to Turgon, in UT. Gelmir was basically telling him to follow Ulmo's wishes and get his butt to King Turgon.

[Evisse the Blue]

I believe I can resurrect this thread and I'm curious if it will live up to tis name
"Indeed I should have done so, if I had known where to find you."

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Gloin is talking to Gandalf about what Thorin said.

[Evisse the Blue]

Thorin had actually said this to Gandalf - in one of the appendix. You're correct either way, so it's your turn now.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Thanks!

What evil have I done you?

I hope it is hard enough for this topic! smilies/smile.gif

[Evisse the Blue]

It sure is! can we get a hint? for instance, which book is it from?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

smilies/redface.gif God, it is so damn hard that I don't find it myself, I must have made a mistake... smilies/rolleyes.gif

sorry sorry I will post a new one...

I do not doubt you.

But I fear this one will be a lot easier smilies/wink.gif

[Evisse the Blue]

It wasn't that easy...thanks to my sister for helping smilies/wink.gif - it's Eomer to Aragorn in 'Riders of Rohan'.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

That's it!
Please proceed... smilies/wink.gif

[Evisse the Blue]

Okay. Try your hand on this:
Only one thing is clear to me.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

That was Otho Sackville-Baggins to Frodo.

[Evisse the Blue]

whoa, that was fast. So much for hardest quotes. smilies/wink.gif . Your turn.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I had just read that part, I was lucky... smilies/wink.gif

This is a strange thought.

good luck smilies/biggrin.gif

[Telchar]

The odd part is that the thought is strange to him - I mean, you would belive that this guy understod the most ... smilies/wink.gif


I wont give that answer, because then the thread will just die bacause I come in here so rarely smilies/smile.gif But I couldnt help giving a lil hint smilies/biggrin.gif

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Thanks for giving a hint!
I forgot about this, and so have many others apparently... Or it is a really hard one of course...

Anyway, being bumped up, I expect an answer soon! smilies/wink.gif

[gilraën]

Manwe said it to Yavanna in the Silmarillion ?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

He sure did!
All yours.

[gilraën]

Thank you smilies/smile.gif

Indeed I expect no less.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Can we have a hint please? smilies/cool.gif

[Mariska Greenleaf]

This thread is fading, and that's too bad!
Gilraen, could you provide us with a hint on this one?

Oh, hold on, found it!

It was Meneldur to Adarion, UT.

I hope we can keep this thread going...

[Arvedui III]

*Bump*

I think Mariska Greenleaf has it.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Well, technically, I should wait until I got the confirmation that it was right, but since it's been longer than 10 days, and I was right of course, here's a new one:


To the East I go not.

[Evisse the Blue]

That is Gandalf talking about how they call him in different parts of ME, to Faramir, I think.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Yep, it was Gandalf, your turn!:)

[Evisse the Blue]

We have the victory

[Mariska Greenleaf]

This is a hard one allright.
Can you provide a hint please?:smokin:

[Evisse the Blue]

Ahem I would if I remembered where it was from...:o sorry!
Hold on - I think it was from the one of the appendices to LOTR.

[The Saucepan Man]

No books to hand, so I'll take a guess.

Is it Glorfindel advising the victorious Eärnur not to pursue the retreating Witch-king?

[rutslegolas]

no
i think that its from thorin okansheild at the gates of moria
after the victory of the dwarces over azog

[Evisse the Blue]

rutslegolas, that's the one I had in mind. I remember now. Please continue.

[rutslegolas]

well i am a little late so here goes

"i am also a steward "

[Firefoot]

Gandalf said it to Denethor.

[rutslegolas]

You are right my Lord

Please continue

[Firefoot]

One thing... I'm a she. :) Speak now and be swift!I hope this is hard enough.

[Smeagol]

wild guess...... does denethor say it to pippin?

[Firefoot]

Nope.

[Guinevere]

This is said by one of the guards at the gates of Edoras, to Gandalf, Aragorn & Legolas.

[Firefoot]

Aye, that's it.

[Guinevere]

Thanks! :) Too late now to turn aside.

[rutslegolas]

maybe its gandalf to frodo???

[Guinevere]

Sorry, wrong guess!

[Morgoth Bauglir]

err sam to frodo?

[Son of Númenor]

'Twas Éomer during the muster of Rohan.

[Guinevere]

Yes, that's it, Son of Númenor! Please proceed.

[Son of Númenor]

Thanks, Guinevere. :)

"...and all evil things."

[Son of Númenor]

The quote is from the Silmarillion. The fellow who said it was particularly underhanded. Any takers?

[Mariska Greenleaf]

'Get you gone, and fly!' cried Beren; 'for here is afire that shall consume you, and all evil things.'

Beren to Carcharoth.

[Son of Númenor]

Great job, Mariska!

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Thanks! :)

A new hard quote then...

...many messages come to them.

Happy searching!

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Is this quote so hard, or is nobody looking at it? :smokin:

[Guinevere]

I've been looking, but it took me some time and brain-racking to find this one!

this is Denethor speaking to Gandalf in Minas Tirith:
"For though the Stones be lost, they say, still the Lords of Gondor have keener sight than lesser men, and many messages come to them."

(Btw : This is almost a lie! At least Denethor is deliberately hiding the truth about the palantir from Gandalf. )

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Very good, Guinevere!
Well, I'm in a way happy that it proved to be a very hard quote... ;)

Your turn...

[Guinevere]

Oops, I nearly forgot that it is my turn.

the future is dead

[Estanesse]

Is this maybe :rolleyes: a quote from my Favourite character Aldarion speaking to Meneldur

[Guinevere]

Well done, Estanesse !

[Estanesse]

Thanks :)

it will be time enough to think what to do about it

[Mariska Greenleaf]

That was Thorin, in The Hobbit, talking to his company (the other dwarves and Bilbo.)

[Estanesse]

That is correct :)

Carry on Mariska

[rutslegolas]

where's Mariska?? :confused:

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I'm right here!!! *waves*

Anyway, new, hopefully, hard quote:

I have lost myself, and I know not the way.

[Beren87]

It's a line from "The Sea-Bell", so ol' Tom. Lothithil did a Fan-fic revolving around it, that I rather liked. It's always been one of my favourite stories.

[Mariska Greenleaf]

Well done, Beren! :)

[Beren87]

Thanks.

I've eaten so much already, I feel rather full.

[Guinevere]

Ah, that is from "Smith of Wootton Major" :)
. Little Tim says to Alf when he's cutting the cake:
"Dear Mr.Cook, only cut me a small slice please. I've eaten so much already I feel rather full."

[Beren87]

Quite right (wight?). I used the quote because I gorged myself on rice-cakes last night. Delicious.

[Guinevere]

:) *g* Thank you, Beren.Merry is May-time!

[Son of Númenor]

Those words are sung by a few of the Fair Folk, during Bilbo's visit to the Last Homely House.

Edit: Here is the song in full:
Sing all ye joyful, now sing all together!
The wind's in the tree-top, the wind's in the heather;
The stars are in blossom, the moon is in flower,
And bright are the windows of Night in her tower.

Dance all ye joyful, now dance all together!
Soft is the grass, and let foot be like feather!
The river is silver, the shadows are fleeting;
Merry is May-time, and merry our meeting! :)

[Guinevere]

You are of course right, Son of Númenor, that "Merry is May-time " is in this song.
But I had really another person in mind who actually quoted it: "Merry is May-time! " with an exclamation mark! Can you find that too ? or is that asking too much ? ;)
