TTT quotes

[dragongirlG]

Quotes from The Two Towers (or Books 3 and 4 of LOTR.) Who said it, when, and why?

You do not know your danger

[Gimli Son Of Gloin]

ummm... Farimir said that to Sam and Frodo, who had told him that they were going into Mordor by way of Cirith Ungul?
Am I right?

[ April 28, 2002: Message edited by: Gimli Son Of Gloin ]

[dragongirlG]

Nope. Try again!

[Gimli Son Of Gloin]

Gandalf sid that to Frodo when he told him about the ring???

[dragongirlG]

Still no...I'll give you a hint, it's where you would least expect it and in a rather light situation.

[Cimmerian]

Eowyn to Aragorn as he set out for the paths of the dead?

Wasn't that a light situation.... smilies/biggrin.gif

[Gimli Son Of Gloin]

Gandalf to Saruman at Isengard?

[Lindolirian]

Gandalf to Eomer when Eomer makes fun of wormtongue.

[dragongirlG]

No, no, and no. It's kind of funny, actually.

[Gimli Son Of Gloin]

Fangorn(Treebeard) to Pippin and/or Merry?
BTW is this quote from TTT?

[Lostgaeriel]

For heaven's sake! smilies/rolleyes.gif It's Gandalf to Théoden, at the ruined gate of Orthanc, warning him about getting Merry (& Pippin) started on talking about pipeweed and family history. Gandalf cuts the monologue short so he can ask where Treebeard is. (It's at the end of The Two Towers, Book Three, VIII The Road to Isengard.)

[Sharia]

Can I join in? smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Lindolirian]

Frodo to Gollum before the Black Gate when Gollum reveals his want for the Ring.

[dragongirlG]

Lostgaerial, you are correct. smilies/smile.gif

Someone else may post a quote now.

[Celebmundoiel]

"He stands not alone" said Legolas bending his bow and fitting an arrow with hands quicker than sight, "You would die before your stroke fell"- Quote from Legolas. Book three chapter 2. He said it because a rider had said something to gimli and Legolas was standing up for him.

[KayQy]

No, you're not supposed to tell us who said it, you're supposed to let us guess. That's the fun of it!

Though I suppose it's hard for you to avoid telling, now that I look at your sig... :\

[Lostgaeriel]

Hey dragongirlG!
Don't I get to post the next quote? smilies/frown.gif That's usually how we do it around here; the one who answers correctly asks the next question. Gives a reward and cuts down on the chaos.

So here's the next one. smilies/wink.gif

The murderous rogue!

[Lindolirian]

Eomer when Wormtongue threw the palantir down at them.

[Lostgaeriel]

Yeah, but he was (erroneously - well regarding that action, anyway) talking about Saruman. GO!

[Lindolirian]

We must get under cover or we shall be seen.

[Gimli Son Of Gloin]

Frodo to Sam and Gollum at the Black gate?

[Lindolirian]

Close, but no pipeweed.

[Gimli Son Of Gloin]

vice versa? Gollum said it? One of the three said it when they were about to be caught by Faramir?

[Lindolirian]

I'll give ya a hint....
Book 3

[Lindolirian]

anybody?

[Mat_Heathertoes]

Pippin to Merry at the eaves of Fangorn after just escaping from Ugluk and his possé

[Lindolirian]

yes very good Mr. Heathertoes.

[Mat_Heathertoes]

Go where you must go, and hope!

[dragongirlG]

Aragorn to Eowyn as the Riders of Rohan left?

[Gimli Son Of Gloin]

Eowyn to Aragorn as he departs to the Paths of Dead or whatever they're called?

[Legolas]

Gandalf the White to Aragorn when Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli see him in Fangorn. He is speaking of their imminent trip to Edoras.

[merlilot]

I love that: Close but no pipeweed.
Now that was funny.

Anyway...

How, in the name of Illuvatar, did it take you people so long to get "you do not know your danger"???? I agree with Lostgariel there: Good heavens!!

Just my two wafers of lembas.

[Note: I said that ^^ about the lembas on another board (non tolkien) and they laughed at me.]

[Legolas]

Gimli Son Of Gloin is whimsical and silly, merlilot...I wouldn't take him very seriously.

I don't know what was so hard about that one quote...just not many people swing by this forum.

If you look at the dates, you'll notice how spontaneous most people visit the quiz/quote forums. Not many come here anyway. They answer or pose a question and forget to check back. It happens all of the time. Many posts get buried and have to wait for someone forging through the archives to get brought back up.

[ October 01, 2002: Message edited by: Legalos ]

[Legolas]

I know I got this one right, and it has been quite a while.

Ever my heart rises as we draw near the mountains.

[merlilot]

I would certainly think it is safe to say Gimli on that one...who else but a Dwarf would be glad of approaching the mountains?

[Legolas]

Yep, go ahead.

[merlilot]

...who, alas!, is overcome...

Easy, that's why its so short...

[TolkienGurl]

I can not figure this one out... smilies/confused.gif

[Laivine]

I cant either... But I have read all the books in another language than english tho. Hmmmmmm...

[charly]

Frodo???

[Orodoliel]

can we please have a clue?
This one is really hard!

[hobbitlass]

Merry is saying it about Pippin to Theoden at Orthanc.

"Welcome, my lords, to Isengard!", he said, "We are the door-wardens. Meriadoc, son of Saradoc is my name; and my companion, who, alas! is overcome with weariness is Peregrin son of Paladin, of the house of Took."

[TolkienGurl]

Good job hobbitlass! Wow, now it makes sense! smilies/wink.gif smilies/smile.gif

[hobbitlass]

Merlilot probably has forgotten about this one so I'll go ahead and post.....
But Gandalf chose to come himself, and he was the first to be lost. His foresight failed him.

[Morgoth Bauglir]

galadriel?

[Aramacil]

I think it's Gimli

[TolkienGurl]

maybe Aragorn?

[Legolas]

Aramacil has it

Wait for hobbitlass to say so, though smilies/wink.gif

[hobbitlass]

Armicil (and Legolos) that's correct. It is Gimli. They had reached the place were Eomer's eored fought and burned the orcs.
Go ahead.

[Aramacil]

Okay, I’ll go ahead
Here’s my quote:
I would not snare even an orc with a falsehood

Hobbitlass it’s Aramacil smilies/tongue.gif

[Beren87]

Hmm, i think it was Frodo to Faramir, though that's probably wrong.

[TolkienGurl]

Oh, its Faramir talking to Frodo: smilies/smile.gif
Faramir smiled grimly. 'Then you would grieve to learn that Boromir is dead?'
'I would grieve indeed,' said Frodo. Then catching the look in Faramir's eyes, he faltered. 'Dead?' he said. 'Do you mean that he is dead, and that you knew it? You have been trying to trap me in words, playing with me? Or are you now trying to snare me with a falsehood?'
'I would not snare even an orc with a falsehood,' said Faramir.

[ October 27, 2002: Message edited by: TolkienGurl ]

[hobbitlass]

Sorry Armacil, I sometimes forget spellings from the time I read and then post. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Aramacil]

you are correct tolkiengurl.
please continue the tread. smilies/smile.gif

[TolkienGurl]

I don't have my book with me right now. smilies/frown.gif Someone else can go, or you can wait until I get home. Doesn't matter to me!
smilies/wink.gif

[TolkienGurl]

OK here we go:

"No time for play on this trip."

Who or what said this?

[Morgoth Bauglir]

gollum?

[Telchar]

Shagrat?

[TolkienGurl]

More vague, Telchar. smilies/smile.gif

[Lostgaeriel]

It was one of the orcs from the Mines of Moria (he is not named) - not one of Saruman's Uruk-hai (example Uglúk) nor one of Sauron's (Lugbúrz) orcs (example Grishnákh) - as they take Merry and Pippin across Rohan.

[TolkienGurl]

Correctomundo!

[Lostgaeriel]

How comes this?

[hobbitlass]

Will you give a little hint, please?

[Telchar]

Else I will smilies/wink.gif hobitlass - the words are said in Rohan

[Morgoth Bauglir]

theoden? or grima?

[Legolas]

Which of those? smilies/wink.gif

[Morgoth Bauglir]

theoden?

[Lostgaeriel]

Yes, Morgoth Bauglir, you finally guessed correctly. smilies/wink.gif

This is from The Two Towers, Book Three, Chapter VI, The King of the Golden Hall. Théoden says this in response to the just-released Éomer offering his sword to the king. Háma then answers the king's query.

Go ahead and give us a quote to solve, MB.

Many thanks to Telchar and Legalos for getting in there to offer hints. (I forgot to check if anyone had answered this one.)

[TolkienGurl]

Someone post, please? It is Morgoth Bauglir's turn, but if he doesn't post then I will! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Lostgaeriel]

I understand that you are itching to post a quote, TolkienGurl, but it's been less than a week since I posted that Morgoth Bauglir answered correctly. At least give him/her the seven days.

I've just now sent him/her a Private Message as a reminder.

If you're that anxious to post a quote, just start another thread. We need more active Quote and Quiz threads anyway.

[TolkienGurl]

Hee, hee. Sorry. Maybe I need a life... smilies/rolleyes.gif

[Morgoth Bauglir]

"no, not all"

[TolkienGurl]

Is that the whole quote? Can you give us just a few more words? Puhleeze? smilies/biggrin.gif

[Beren87]

Twas Pippin!

[-Imrahil-]

pippin I believe.

[Beren87]

Am I correct Morgoth?

[Beren87]

Hmm, I know I'm correct so I'm simply going to go.

Why must you disturb my rest?

[-Imrahil-]

Denethor?

[Beren87]

Nope it twasn't Denethor.

[ December 22, 2002: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

[Garen LiLorian]

Saruman, I believe. When Gandalf and Theoden and company go knocking on Orthanc.

[Beren87]

You've got it! Your turn.

[Garen LiLorian]

"Here lie all the Men of the Mark that fell near this place"

[Manardariel]

Gandalf to Théoden as they ride to Isengard.

[Garen LiLorian]

Got it. Take it away, Menardariel!

[Manardariel]

Sorry it took me this long....

And I marvel at you:
who?where?to whom??

[Beren87]

Faramir to Frodo about not using the ring.

[Manardariel]

Correct! Go on! smilies/smile.gif

[Beren87]

Lovely!

My men are weary with battle

[Manardariel]

Theoden, during Helms Deep, to Aragorn.

[Beren87]

*bows* all yours.

[Manardariel]

Is this getting slightly tea-for-two-ish??

Whatever. Here you go:
Tired? Tired?

[Beruthiel]

Is it Treebeard?

[Manardariel]

Yep! Tel me where, just to be technical...

[Beruthiel]

In Fangorn, when merry(or pip) asks him whether he is tired from carrying them.

[Manardariel]

Well... no... oh, god, go ahead anyway!

[TolkienGurl]

hee hee! I'm going to be sneaky! You asked where, so I'll tell you! (I just read this part yesterday.)

Pippin is quoting Treebeard (who said 'Tired? Tired?' after Pippin asked if he was tired from whatever he and the other Ents were doing to repay Saruman) while telling Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli of his and Merry's adventures with him. They are in the guardhouse at Isengard.

Anyway, it is Beruthiel's turn now! Quote on! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Beruthiel]

What? Really? Shoot, I thought I'd got it all on my own...... smilies/frown.gif
Ah well, here's the quote:
Have at 'em, down with 'em
I hope its not too easy smilies/smile.gif

[TolkienGurl]

You had the right person (Treebeard was the original speaker) but the wrong place. Then I snuck in and told where the quote was said and that Pippin was the actual speaker (he was quoting Treebeard), so Treebeard did say it... So you really did get it right because Manardariel said so. I'm sorry to have confused you! I get confused a lot... smilies/biggrin.gif

Anyway, TTT right? Man I must be blind.

OK, found it! 'Tis Sam:

Sam laughed grimly. 'Cobwebs!' he said. 'Is that all? Cobwebs! But what a spider! Have at 'em, down with 'em!'

He and Frodo are in Shelob's Lair.

[Beruthiel]

*her mind spinning a little from Tolkien gurl's explanation*
Yup thats right, your turn.

[TolkienGurl]

Thank you, Beruthiel. Sorry to make your head spin. *rereads her last post* Woah! Now I know what you mean! smilies/biggrin.gif

'We are not wanted.'

Who?
To whom?
Where are they?

~TolkienGurl the crazy person who really loves Frodo!

[Beren87]

Twas Pippin about going to Orthanc.

[TolkienGurl]

Yup. I guess he wasn't really speaking to anybody. He was muttering...

Anyway, your turn, Beren!

[Beren87]

There was a darkness over the valleys

[Manardariel]

Pippin or Merry about how they came to Nan Curunir with the Ents.

[Beren87]

Hmm, nope, not exactly. Twas neither of them.

[Mandos]

Can you give a hint?

[Manardariel]

Oh, stupid me, it´s Gimli, speaking to/with Merry, Pip, Legolas&Aragorn. They´re at Isengard and the "great darkness" is Ents/Huorns.
Tolkiengurl, have I mentioned I love your new pic?

[Beren87]

Haha, im sorry to say that your still not correct.

[Mandos]

may I join in and give it a shot?

[Beren87]

Yes Mandos, feel free to jump right into any question or quote topic.

[Mandos]

was it Faramir talking about one of his visions?

[Beren87]

Nope, tis not.

[Mandos]

A Hint perhaps?

[Beren87]

Well, it was one of the Fellowship, and he was explaining something at the time.

[Mandos]

hmmm......Gandalf the White?

[Beren87]

That it was, but to whom and about what?

[Mandos]

to Gimli, Legolas and Aragorn about Saruman.

[Beren87]

Nein, not about Saruman. Keep at it! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Mandos]

the wizard's vale and the valley in mordor! haha i do not know.

[Beren87]

Still incorrect. Why don't you try looking it up instead of simply guessing?

[Mandos]

lol. i was looking it up! and i still am! i have skimmed over the first half of TTT. tell me, is it where gandalf first comes back in Fangorn forest, or later on.

[Beren87]

First comes back I believe.

[Mandos]

he is talking to aragorn,legolas, ang gimli of the darkness over the valleys of Emyn Muil

[Beren87]

SHAZAAM! You got it Mandos!

[Manardariel]

Ummm... you´ve forgotten this one, havern´t you?? And since that is so, here´s a new qoute! OK?

Well, he won´t

[Aratlithiel]

Sam to himself RE: Gollum catching him napping. (Well, he won't: not Sam Gamgee for one.) The Passage of the Dead Marshes.

[Manardariel]

Yup! Easy, I know. But I wanted to get this party...er thread...started!

[Aratlithiel]

The more I consider it, the more curious I find it.

[hobbitlass]

'All except one thing,' said Aragorn: 'leaf from the Southfarthing in Isengard. The more I consider it, the more curious I find it.'

[Aratlithiel]

There ya go, hobbitlass. You're turn.

[hobbitlass]

I wonder what he is doing

[eleanor_niphredil]

Merry to Aragorn about Gandalf, when they are at Isengard

[hobbitlass]

Another quickie, your turn.

[eleanor_niphredil]

Okay

Why would that make you happy?

[mollecon]

A guess: Legolas (could have been Aragorn, but I'll stick with Legolas) asking Gimli. It's after they've reached the Fangorn Forrest & caught a glimpse of an old man who Gimli believes is Saruman - Gimli says that he would be happy if they could find traces from him, that would prove he was just that - an old man...

[Mithampa]

Eep...I know this one...Agghhh...erm...Aragorn? Can't remember...

[eleanor_niphredil]

mollecon is correct, it was Legolas. Your turn.

[Manardariel]

Welcome Mithampa!
Have fun at the Downs, which you surely will have... smilies/smile.gif
Yeah, just wanted to say that. Yes, I KNOW it´s off topic....don´t sue me, hate me, kill me or force me to stare at Elijah for two hours..... smilies/wink.gif

[mollecon]

Ooops, sorry, forgot <embarrased emoticon>. Problem is, I haven't got the books around smilies/frown.gif Will ssomeone else step in?

[Rochelle]

if you don't mind...I'll step in smilies/smile.gif

"Do as you please in your madness"

Anyone know who said this and why?

[Dondagnirion]

Was it Gandalf to Theoden when Theoden was on his pyre?

Dondagnirion
"He who cannot cast at treasure away at need is in fetters." - Aragorn

[eleanor_niphredil]

Denethor you mean.

[Manardariel]

Gimli, commanding Legolas to let him get off before he rode among the Hurons.
Note: It couldn´t be to Denethor, because these are TTT quotes

[Rochelle]

Manardariel is correct! It was Gimli who spoke after Legolas had seen eyes among the trees.

Your turn smilies/smile.gif

[Manardariel]

Thank you.

They are indeed

[eleanor_niphredil]

Treebeard to grima when he arrives at Isengarde.

[alaklondewen]

Technically, it is Pippin quoting Treebeard's conversation with Wormtongue. You are very tricky. smilies/wink.gif

[Manardariel]

I know. I like being tricky. smilies/tongue.gif
I think I´ll give it to you, alaklondewen, since you accopmlished my tricksyness....
smilies/smile.gif .

[alaklondewen]

Thank you.

It is a great host and follows us hard.

[Duncariel]

Isn't that Legolas speaking of the Grey Host, no, that's in Return of the King. Drat.

I remember! It's Aragorn as they are coming to Helm's Deep!

[ February 09, 2003: Message edited by: Duncariel ]

[alaklondewen]

Yes, and Welcome to the Downs! Your up. smilies/smile.gif

[Annunfuiniel]

Reviving this thread...

Where will you stand?

Who, to whom and where?

[alaklondewen]

This is Treebeard to Merry and Pippin. He has quite forgotten who he is talking to, and is asking them where they will stand to sleep. This is one of my favorite scenes in the book.

[Annunfuiniel]

Yup, you got it right!
It's one of my favs too. smilies/smile.gif
Please carry on.

[alaklondewen]

Thank you.

Of course they are.

[Legolas]

Gollum to Sam about the paths in/out of Mordor.

[alaklondewen]

Right you are! Proceed.

[Legolas]

It seems their delight to slash and beat down growing things that are not even in their way.

[Rochelle]

Hmm...Treebeard?

[Dondagnirion]

Aragorn to Gimli and Legolas when they were tracking the orcs that had captured Merry and Pippin.

Dondagnirion
"There is no spoon."

[Legolas]

No, and no.

[alaklondewen]

Is it Legolas to Aragorn and Gimli on their hunt? I don't have the books with me, but I see him saying it in my head.

[Legolas]

Yes, it was Legolas to Aragorn and Gimli about the Uruks.

[alaklondewen]

Thank you.

They hate us, and they are glad;

[Dondagnirion]

Is that Theoden or Eomer about the wild men of Dunharrow that fought for Saruman with the Uruk-hai.

Dondagnirion
"There is no spoon."

[alaklondewen]

Nope, sorry.

[Lostgaeriel]

That's Gamling speaking to Éomer (& Aragorn) about the wild men of the hills, at Helm's Deep. (Gamling had something in common with Tolkien - he knew ancient languages. He translates the 'bellowing' for Éomer.)

‘Yet dawn is ever the hope of men,’ said Aragorn.
‘But these creatures of Isengard, these half-orcs and goblin-men that the foul craft of Saruman has bred, they will not quail at the sun,’ said Gamling. ‘And neither will the wild men of the hills. Do you not hear their voices?’
‘I hear them,’ said Éomer; ‘but they are only the scream of birds and the bellowing of beasts to my ears.’
‘Yet there are many that cry in the Dunland tongue,’ said Gamling. ‘I know that tongue. It is an ancient speech of men, and once was spoken in many western valleys of the Mark. Hark! They hate us, and they are glad; for our doom seems certain to them. “The king, the king!” they cry. “We will take their king. Death to the Forgoil! Death to the Strawheads! Death to the robbers of the North!” Such names they have for us. Not in half a thousand years have they forgotten their grievance that the lords of Gondor gave the Mark to Eorl the Young and made alliance with him. That old hatred Saruman has inflamed. They are fierce folk when roused. They will not give way now for dusk or dawn, until Théoden is taken, or they themselves are slain.’

[alaklondewen]

Yes! It's nice to see you back, Lostgaeriel. I do believe you've been missing?

[ March 11, 2003: Message edited by: alaklondewen ]

[Lostgaeriel]

Well, not missing so much as refraining from playing Quotable Quotes. I've been in the Quiz Room answering a riddle or maybe two, and writing Song Parodies that no one will appreciate. smilies/wink.gif

Ah, right, a quote from The Two Towers. Hmmm.

But still we will not sit idle and let Him do all as He would

[Rochelle]

Is this Aragorn?

[Horse-Maiden of the Shire]

Gandalf?

[Silmarien]

Treebeard?

[Lostgaeriel]

No, no and no again. No one of such reknown. smilies/evil.gif

[ March 12, 2003: Message edited by: Lostgaeriel ]

[Silmarien]

No, It's Eomer isn't it?

[Lostgaeriel]

No. We're talking 'bit part', here.

[Lostgaeriel]

HINT for Rochelle, Horse-Maiden of the Shire & Silmarien:

You've been on the wrong side of the River.

[ March 12, 2003: Message edited by: Lostgaeriel ]

[Annunfuiniel]

Found it! It's Mablung (to Frodo and Sam) in Ithilien.

[Lostgaeriel]

Well done, Annunfuiniel!

Yes, that was Mablung, Ranger of Ithilien, as he and Damrod guarded Frodo and Sam while Faramir left to lead the ambush of the Southrons. (See near the end of 'Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit'.)

[Annunfuiniel]

Great, thanks! These quotes are somewhat difficult for me as I haven't read the books in English. But anyway, here's the next one:
Better not to know I expect.

[alaklondewen]

I believe this is Sam in the Dead Marshes after Gollum mentions he tried to touch the 'people' in the water. Oooh...I don't want to know why he was trying to get to them either. *shudders*

[Annunfuiniel]

Yep, Sam said something in that fashion. But this line was used by someone else too! smilies/smile.gif

[alaklondewen]

You're right, of course. I forgot about Merry and Pippin. This particular quote is by Merry, and it refers to that terrible orc-draught they were forced to drink.

[Annunfuiniel]

Yes, alaklondewen, well found! smilies/smile.gif
You have the honors to continue. *bows*

[alaklondewen]

Thank you.

But I have never heard this one.

[Catherine]

Legolas?

[alaklondewen]

Nope.

[Rochelle]

Treebeard?

[alaklondewen]

Still no.

[elven maiden Earwen]

Theoden??

ps. am i right in a new game, in the quiz room??

[alaklondewen]

Not Theoden.

[Dondagnirion]

Was it Saruman?

Dondagnirion
"There is no spoon."

[Rochelle]

Hmmm...perhaps Faramir?

[alaklondewen]

No and no. Do you need a hint?

[Rochelle]

*lol* I think a hint would do us good.

[Beren87]

I think that it was Pippin to Gandalf about some kind of rhyme. I couldn't find it but that's what comes to mind.

[alaklondewen]

Yay! Beren is right! *hands him a shiny sticker and a red sucker* Take it away.

[Beren87]

Give me something shiny and I'll be occupied for hours...


Thus shall I sleep better

[Elanor]

That was Theoden, telling Gandalf that he wanted to go to war himself, and not stay behind.

[Beren87]

And that's correct Elanor.

[Elanor]

Thanks. Ok, let me think...

"Less than an eye!"

[Sapphire_Flame]

That would be Gimli, talking to Merry and Pippin at the gates of Isengard.

[Elanor]

That's the one Sapphire.

[Tinuviel the Nightingale]

Um sorry if i am butting in but, is that Merry to Pippin just before Pippin looks into the Palantir?

[Tinuviel the Nightingale]

Hold on ... wrong room sorry

[Sapphire_Flame]

So I pick a quote now, right? Hm....

"You may well be putting your thinking cap on, if you've got one."

Good luck...

[Dondagnirion]

Is that Gandalf? It sounds like Gandalf.

Dondagnirion
"There is no spoon."
"No one ever suspects the butterfly!" - B. Simpson

[Sapphire_Flame]

Not by a long shot! smilies/biggrin.gif Try again!

[Narduewen]

Sounds alot like Gandalf to me. I just can't seem to find it in the book. Let me keep looking.

[Narduewen]

Oops, I meant to say Sam.

[Lostgaeriel]

It's Gorbag to Shagrat from The Choices of Master Samwise.

'Who cut the cords she'd put round him, Shagrat? Same one as cut the web. Didn't you see that? And who stuck a pin into Her Ladyship? Same one, I reckon. And where is he? Where is he, Shagrat?'

Shagrat made no reply.

'You may well put your thinking cap on, if you've got one. It's no laughing matter. No one, no one has ever stuck a pin in Shelob before, as you should know well enough. There's no grief in that; but think—there’s someone loose hereabouts as is more dangerous than any other damned rebel that ever walked since the bad old times, since the Great Siege. Something has slipped.’

[Sapphire_Flame]

You got it, Lostgaeriel! smilies/biggrin.gif Mae carnen!

Your turn.

[Lostgaeriel]

I just love Gorbag's description of our Samwise as the greatest hero since the Last Alliance.

Sorry, my Elvish isn't very good, but what is 'Mae carnen!'? 'Well done!'? I thought 'Carnen' translated as 'Redwater' (the river flowing down from the Iron Hills to join the River Running).

OK. New quote.

I read the signs aright

[Firondoiel]

Aragorn when they were tracking Merry and Pippin?

[Lostgaeriel]

No. smilies/evil.gif

[Arvedui III]

um, maybe Frodo/Sam in Eymn Muil(can't spell, sorry)

[Lostgaeriel]

Sorry, Arvedui III, but you're colder than was Firondoiel. Firondoiel was almost correct.

The spirits and wights that haunt this barrow and know me, know that I'm very particular. I want the speaker's name, the person(s) spoken to, and the situation (place or time or chapter).

HINT: Open your copy of The Two Towers.

That quote is on the first page of TTT. Aragorn says it about Frodo at Amon Hen. I don't think he said it to anyone but himself.

[Lostgaeriel]

Yes! It's Aragorn the quintessential loner talking to himself.

I thought some might forget that The Departure of Boromir is in The Two Towers (unlike the movie).

Well done, Narduewen. Your turn.

[Narduewen]

Okay let me find one:

"That is not surprising, for it is an art hich we have not practised for more than a few generations."

[Lostgaeriel]

Ooh, that's easy. I know that one without looking it up. But I'll leave it to some one else - maybe a newcomer to the BD.

[Sapphire_Flame]

That would be Merry, speaking to Theoden at the gates of Isengard.

BTW, great job figuring out Lostgaeriel's quote, Narduewen! I couldn't for the life of me figure out who it was.

And, Lostgaeriel, "Mae carnen" does mean "Well done". It was in the Movie. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Narduewen]

Right Sapphire Flame! Merry was talking about how Pipe weed came to be right before Gandalf stopped him, because he knew it go on for a long time. Your turn.

[Sapphire_Flame]

Okay, here's mine:

"They hate us, and they are glad; for our doom seems certain to them."

Good luck...

[Beren87]

The leader of the wildmen to Eomer?

[Sapphire_Flame]

Close, but no dice! smilies/biggrin.gif Try again!

[gilraën]

Was it not Eomer about the Wildmen?

[Sapphire_Flame]

Very good, gilraen! smilies/biggrin.gif Your turn!!!

[gilraën]

"I should hate to lose mine"

[Narduewen]

Merry to Pippen sometime after Pippen dropped his leaf of Lorien.

[gilraën]

Yes, your go. smilies/smile.gif

[Narduewen]

Okay, since all of my other quotes seemed to be really easy I will try to find somethiing a little harder.

"And set us a pretty riddle."

I hope this is a challenge, but I don't know, I flipped open a page and found a quote.

[Dondagnirion]

Was it Sam to Frodo when they were in the Emen Muil? (Not quite shure how to spell that, sorry =/)

Dondagnirion

[Sapphire_Flame]

That was Legolas, to Merry and Pippin as they told of their escape from the Uruk-hai. It was one of my favorite parts in the Books! smilies/biggrin.gif

(BTW, Dondagnirion, it's Emyn Muil.)

[Narduewen]

That's correct Sapphire Flame. At least I stumped one person! Your turn now!

[Sapphire_Flame]

I don't know whether this is from Towers or not, but.....

"He who breaks a thing to find out what it is, has left the path of wisdom."

Good luck...

[Dondagnirion]

That would be Gandalf to Saruman when they were arguing at the parley with Saruman after The Battle Of Helms Deep I think.

Dondagnirion

[Lostgaeriel]

No, no, no. That quote is NOT from The Two Towers - the Voice of Saruman; it's from The Fellowship of the Ring - The Council of Elrond. It is Gandalf quoting himself while reporting his conversation with the traitor Saruman.

By the way, the quote is not
"He who breaks a thing to find out what it is, has left the path of wisdom."
but rather
'And he that breaks a thing to find out what it is has left the path of wisdom.'

Just me being nit-picky - again.

I think Sapphire_Flame ought to go back to the book and find us a quote from The Two Towers.

[Dondagnirion]

In either case I have got it first. =)

Dondagnirion

[Sapphire_Flame]

Sorry, my friend gave me that quote, and I didn't know where it was from.

Hang on, I'll go find a new one...

[Lostgaeriel]

"He who breaks a thing to find out what it is, has left the path of wisdom."

That would be Gandalf to Saruman when they were arguing at the parley with Saruman after The Battle Of Helms Deep I think.

Dondagnirion

In either case I have got it first. =)

Dondagnirion

Uh, Dondagnirion ... how do you figure that?
smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif smilies/biggrin.gif

I correctly identified the quote. And I say Sapphire_Flame should give us one from The Two Towers.

You are allowed (and encouraged) to use your books in the Games (Quotable Quotes & Quiz Room) -unless the game has specific instructions that they are not allowed. By using your books, you will get to know them better. And that will help you in Books discussions.

[Dondagnirion]

What I meant to say is that I correctly identified the speaker of and to whom and about what the quote was. Granted, I did get the place and time wrong but I was a little confused thinking that it was supposed to be in TTT so I geussed it was at the parley. I probably would not have made this mistake had I tried the book but frankly I never use the book in helping to find a quote or to put up a new quote, everything I do and everything I know about any of these quotes is stored in my ugly, box-shaped head *grin*. Sorry for not explaining why I thought I got it earlier.

Dondagnirion

[Sapphire_Flame]

Okay, I've got one:

"If the giving of information is to be the cure of your inquisitiveness, I shall have to spend all the rest of my days in answering you."

Yeah, a bit easy, but it was the first line I found!

(BTW, Dondagnirion, I love the first line of your sig! smilies/biggrin.gif )

[Annunfuiniel]

Gandalf to Pippin when they are riding towards Minas Tirith?

[Sapphire_Flame]

Right in one, Annunfuiniel!! smilies/biggrin.gif Mae carnen!

Your turn.

[Annunfuiniel]

Why thank you, Sapphire Flame! smilies/smile.gif (btw. how do you say 'thank you' in Sindarin/Quenya?)
Ok, here's the next line:
and all weariness will fall from me!

[Sapphire_Flame]

First thing: That would be Gimli, speaking to Legolas at Helm's Deep.

Other thing: Hannon le is Thank You in Sindarin. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Annunfuiniel]

Well, first of all: you're right! Please continue. smilies/smile.gif
And secondly: Hannon le for the information! smilies/biggrin.gif

[Sapphire_Flame]

Here's the new quote:

"'Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.'"

Have fun. smilies/biggrin.gif

[Rochelle]

Sam quotes that smilies/smile.gif

EDIT: Well it's Merry quoting Sam who is quoting Gildor, the original speaker *lol*

In this case, Merry is talking to Pippin.

Mae carnen, Rochelle! You got it! smilies/biggrin.gif

Your turn.
