Unscramble the quote

[Airehiriel]

I don't think this has been done before, if it has, a thousand pardons!

On this thread we will scramble a quote from the FotR or TTT movies. You CAN use a script if you've got one. You need to put the quote back in its proper arrangement, and identify the movie, give the name of the speaker and who they were speaking to or what they were speaking about.

You do not have to capitalize the first word or use the proper punctuation when you scramble it, that may make it a bit more difficult! Also, lets keep the quote to one sentence, otherwise it may get too confusing!

Okay? First one:

it road mountains to take the through dangerous a is

(Now I hope I can remember the quote!)

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

"It is a dangerous road to take through the mountains." Um... from Two Towers, by Grima to Saruman when he is speaking of the population of Edoras' flight to Helm's Deep?

[ April 21, 2003: Message edited by: Horse-Maiden of the Shire ]

[Airehiriel]

That's right Horse Maiden...was that too easy?

Your turn.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

I got the quote, but I was afraid that I was muddling up the other facts!
Now here is a SUPER easy one:

Closer further the we are to danger, from the are we harm.

Eeee....who will get it? Who will prevail? Find out on the next episode of...UNSCRAMBLE THE QUOTES!!!!

[Airehiriel]

LOL! "The closer we are to danger, the further we are from harm."

Pippin said that to Treebeard in TTT convincing him to go south.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Right you are! Told ya it'd be easy.

Your go, Airehiriel.

[Airehiriel]

Yes, it was easy, but it was a good one, Horse-Maiden.

Looks like it is just you and me...but that's okay!

not name us mustn't it's business his ask

[Airehiriel]

Awwwwww, isn't anyone going to try?

[alaklondewen]

Well, I for one am having a hard time getting them to make since. A hint maybe?

[Lady Alasse]

musn't ask us his name.not it's buisness that might not be quite right. can't remember ahhh. I know its by Gollum in reply to Frodo asking about his sad story

[ April 25, 2003: Message edited by: Lady Alasse ]

[Arvedui III]

Herm, this is hard, maybe this:

His name? Musn't ask us, not it's buisness.

[Airehiriel]

Lady Alasse is the closest. But there are two words that need to be switched...should I be picky???

musn't ask us his name.not it's buisness

Nahhh, I'll let you have it. Here is how it is supposed to go.

Musn't ask its name, not his business.

Now, can you tell me who said it, who they said it to, and what movie it was in?

[ April 27, 2003: Message edited by: Airehiriel ]

[Firondoiel]

It was said by Gollum in TTT when Frodo asked him, "Who are you?"

But I think the actual quote is "It musn't ask us! Not it's business no."

[ August 01, 2003: Message edited by: Firondoiel ]

[Airehiriel]

Could be Firondoiel. I took the quote from the transcribed script on "The Seat of Kings". I have noticed other mistakes before, so you never know.

Lady Alasse, it's your turn, but if she doesn't go in a few days, you can go Firondoiel.

[Lady Alasse]

and stars seven stones and seven white one tree.

I hope this is alright. I've never done this before. Hint- This quote might appear several times in the books.

[tifo_gcs]

seven stars and seven stones and one white tree
one of my personal favorites smilies/cool.gif

[Lady Alasse]

One of my favorites to.
That is the correct answer! Your turn tifo_gcs.
smilies/smile.gif

[tifo_gcs]

I've been reeeaaaal busy, so I haven't had time to dig out the precise quote I wanted, primarily becuase I can't remember the exact wording, so here's another instead


already the westward Tom passed, when here was Elves...

[elven maiden Earwen]

Tom was already here, when the elves passed westward

[tifo_gcs]

sorry, no.

[Airehiriel]

I'm going to work off from what Earwen said.

How about:

Tom was here already, when the elves passed westward.

Just a little word switching, don't know if that works.

[tifo_gcs]

ooohh close, but no cigar...
(which is a good thing, I might add, I don't like the taste any smilies/frown.gif)

[Airehiriel]

Alright, how about...

Tom was here already, when the elves westward passed.

Another moving of words.

[Lady Alasse]

How about- When the elves passed westward, Tom was here already

[tifo_gcs]

That's correct smilies/wink.gif, now if only the Lady can put the quote into context she wins the honor of posting the next quote, and one cigar of very dubious quality smilies/frown.gif

[Airehiriel]

*smacks forehead* Ah! Lady Alasse, why didn't I think of that?! Gee...

[Lady Alasse]

Sorry I didn't post for a while. I've been really busy. Here is the next quote. their Marshes that is yes the name Dead yes
Hope thats not to hard.

[elven maiden Earwen]

yes yes the dead marshes that is there name

[Lady Alasse]

Yes! elven maiden Earwen you are correct. I haven't been online for a while so I wasn't able to check.

[elven maiden Earwen]

"kings daughter of are a you. Rohan a shieldmaiden of. Fate not do think will your I that "

[ May 22, 2003: Message edited by: elven maiden Earwen ]

[Finwe]

You are a daughter of kings, a shieldmaiden of Rohan. I do not think that will be your Fate.

[elven maiden Earwen]

Thank you, your go Finwe

[elven maiden Earwen]

Simbelmynë. Grown tombs ever it on my has the forebears of. It grave my now shall son the cover of.

[Firondoiel]

"Simbelmynë. Ever has it grown on the tombs of my forebears. Now it shall cover the grave of my son." -Theoden to Gandalf in TTT.

[elven maiden Earwen]

correct

[Firondoiel]

I apologize for the long wait. I'm afraid I completely forgot about this thread!

I fact and in don't shall mean expect not return. I, I to.

[ August 01, 2003: Message edited by: Firondoiel ]

[Narduewen]

It was siad by Bilbo to Gandalf after Bilbo's party. I believe this is from the movie, because the version in the book is slightly different.

"I don't expect I shall return. In fact, I mean not to,"

[ July 19, 2003: Message edited by: Narduewen ]

[Firondoiel]

Correct! Yes this is the movie version, I thought these were supposed to be movie quotes. The one I guessed was. smilies/confused.gif

[Narduewen]

Well, I believe it is movie quotes, after I looked at the start of the thread. The next quote,

"do have I I it never not power this want wanted."

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

I do not want this power. I have never wanted it.
Said Aragorn to Elrond in Rivendell, at Gilraen's Memorial, in the EE of FotR. Boy, am I thorough. smilies/wink.gif

[Narduewen]

That is correct, your go.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Eth kruus nrtu esatthron

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

The uruks turn northeast.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Correct. Quote on, Tinuviel!

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Why thankyou! Here's one:

it talk don't to Merry!

Easy one...

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Don't talk to it Merry!
Pippin to (duh) Merry about Treebeard. smilies/smile.gif

[ July 31, 2003: Message edited by: Horse-Maiden of the Shire ]

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Yes, very easy, wasn't it? It's kind of hard to come up with a hard quote and then scramble it. Your turn. (Is this some kind of an exchange or something? It's not limited to this thread, either. We keep answering each other's questions on the Actors' Quotes thread as well.) smilies/eek.gif

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

It's because we wuv each other, Tinuviel! smilies/biggrin.gif

Okay...here's another one.
ent southnad rotngs

[Firondoiel]

"Ten thousand strong."

Aragorn to Theoden at Helms Deep in TTT.

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Yep.

[Evisse the Blue]

*bump* - I love this game, my friends and I have been playing it for ages, I had no idea it was here!

And I got new ideas to make it a bit more difficult and interesting! smilies/tongue.gif
1. If you replace a substantive with a verb, you preserve the verb's ending and tense, adding it to the substantive instead.
example: it fined to seem "It seemed so fine"
2. If you replace a susbt with an adjective / adverb you preserve the adjective's original ending, adding it to the substantive:
example:the roader the long, the feeter the weary. the longer the road, the wearier the feet
3. You can also replace a verb with an adjective, thus switching their endings, and also revert the order of pronouns, prepositions, etc, thus making a true jumble of the entire sentence:
example: Mind is sufferinger it the in to be nobling.- It is nobler in the mind to be suffering.

Sound like fun, eh? If you think it doesn't - just you wait - you'll soon be convinved it is!

So , here's the first one:
If I the realed had Stride killer, I killed can you.

[Mithisilien]

That's a little too confusing for me...I don't know about anyone else...

[Laivine]

I thought I'd join in, if no one minds smilies/smile.gif The correct quote would be If I had killed the real Strider, I could kill you Said by Aragorn to Sam in The Prancing Pony.

[Evisse the Blue]

Yes, Laivine, well done! Your turn to scramble now smilies/smile.gif .

[Laivine]

Hmmm... I've never done this before, and I'm not sure I understood completely, but I'll try anyway. It's probably far too easy to be any fun, but still, here it goes;
Destroy must be the ringed.

[Evisse the Blue]

"The ring must be destroyed", Elrond, I think in the FOTR movie.

[Laivine]

You're right, of course... smilies/smile.gif

[Evisse the Blue]

Okay - new one, a bit more complex:

"Them murmur now remember", Tom fewed, "sons still go of yetting, wander in forgotten kinging, evilness in lonely thinging from folk walk are heed thatless ground."

this has rhyme and rythm if you read it loud- cool. smilies/tongue.gif

[Cinderella]

*Bump* A hint maybe? smilies/biggrin.gif
And btw Evisse, I LOVE your siggy... "the sea monkeys took my money..."

[Evisse the Blue]

lol,I'm glad you find it funny, I thought it was hilarious. smilies/biggrin.gif

Right- the hint: it's Tom (Bombadillo) speaking.

[symestreem]

"Few yet now remember," Tom murmured," yet still some go wandering, sons of forgotten kings walking in loneliness, guarding from evil things folk that are heedless."

[Evisse the Blue]

symestreem, congrats, you got it, I had given up on anybody unscrambling that quote!
And a warm welcome to the Downs from me! smilies/smile.gif

(PS: It's only now that I noticed that this bit has rhyme and rhythm in the original, too, not only when scrambled - wonderful piece of writing)

[symestreem]

Thanks, Evisse. smilies/smile.gif

It take you, you leave safety can cannot you it behind with nor with.

This is a book quote. The letters are not scrambled, but the words are. The comma is after the correct word, but the period is not.

[Evisse the Blue]

Can I have a hint please, symestreem? smilies/smile.gif

[symestreem]

Gandalf.

[Crystal Heart]

You cannot leave with safety behind you, nor can you take it with you

That is my guess.

[symestreem]

You are correct. Welcome to the Downs!

[Crystal Heart]

I'm right?! Rock on! Thanks for the welcome. It is truly wonderful to be here.

Here is mine:

I give mine it to will I whom

[Evisse the Blue]

Crystal Heart, can we have a hint please?

[Arvedui III]

It sounds like it could be what Arwen says, "It is mine to give to whom I will". Only, the 'is' is missing.

[Evisse the Blue]

Ok, here comes a new one:

"Our not but after for those who make will we come times of the legends"

[bilbo_baggins]

I don't quite know the last one... :(

But it's been over a month, and this Thread looks interesting, so...

"Unaltered bookish and fin, your end the leaving!"

Have fun Guessing! :D

[Evisse the Blue]

"Finish your book and leave the endind unaltered" Gandalf to Bilbo.

That was a really good one!

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Over three months. Restart?
And since ROTK is out, should that be included?

of plain sweet hill to from the and is sweet the stream falls sound rain that

[Evisse the Blue]

of plain sweet hill to from the and is sweet the stream falls sound rain that

would be

Sweet is the sound of falling rain and the stream that falls from hill to plain

[Tuor of Gondolin]

Correct. Your turn.
(Sung by)?

[Evisse the Blue]

Sung by Merry (hehe, these freudian tongue (finger?) slips, I wrote 'my Merry' but then corrected myeself :p ).

Get this:

"Of one fit the funnies, but is bests get one of the queer he best."

[Firefoot]

I think it might be this:"Gets funny queer fits, but he is one of the best, one of the best - as fierce as a dragon in a pinch." Which would be Gandalf to the Dwarves.

[Evisse the Blue]

That's the one, Firefoot! Well done! :)

[Firefoot]

Thanks.

"And I force by will that you take this gladly but am not willing."

[Evisse the Blue]

Since you're around, Firefoot, may I have a hint? ;)

[Firefoot]

As for a hint, here are the words with the correct endings placed:

"And I force by will that you take this glad but am not willingly."

And it's in TTT.

[Firefoot]

What if I told you that it was said in Ithilien? ;)

[Evisse the Blue]

Then I'd say I probably know it... ;)

"I am glad that you will take this willingly and not by force"
Faramir to the hobbits about the blindfold.

[Firefoot]

Yep.

[Evisse the Blue]

Thanks!

New scrambled quote (with changed endings too):

"You should be freed by your honour but I am not all at once."
