It sounds like Galadriel - but Im not sure.

Not Galadriel.

Well, it was an elf, that much is sure.

Yes it was an elf. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

The elf in question is... (what was his name again?)... oh, yeah, Legolas. I'm pretty sure he was talking about elves dwelling in Ithilien...until they all go over the Sea, at least.

Exactly right, Kay Qy. Ask us one.

Aggh! What was I thinking? *searches rapidly through books*

Always good to know. Who to whom where and why?

Pippin to Merry after Grishnahk was slain by the Eored.

Either that - or Merry to Pippin at Fangorn, explaining he'd spent his time better at Rivendell and knew where they were.

Am I allowed two shots? They said similar things.

Yeah, you can get away with it this time, since they're both wrong. Good tries though. Next!

Ha - (French accent) - En Guarde!

Frodo to Sam in the Tower of Cirith Ungol, letting him know he found their food bags and lembas in the mess of the orc tower.

No need to get violent, you got it right this time. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Take up the thread, and lead it well, for you probably won't see me again until after I've seen the movie.

Until next year! (give or take)

Oh, shoot, wow, really?? Hold on, let me dig something up *flipflipflipflipflip*

Okay, let's be cruel and difficult...

"Aiya elenion ancalima!"

Who, and when?

let's be all knowing ;)

Frodo in the Shelob's lair, holding out the phial of Galadriel

Oooo... very good. Almost got it.

Sam in Shelob's lair?

Nope!

Eonwë greeting Eàrendil?

I'm only getting this because all the other answers led me right to it! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

That's Frodo crying out as he and Sam pass the Watchers of the gates as they leave the Tower of Cirith Ungol.

Well done! The elvish lady takes it. Your turn, Lostgaeriel.

Are there any special rules for quotes in these "recent laziness" threads? I searched for the original thread but it's gone.

Meanwhile I'll start looking for something.

OK. I see no particular pattern in this thread. So here it is:

Gandalf to Hasufel and Arod

No fooling you, HerenIstarion! Go ahead.

who to whom and what about?

Well I will take a chance. Is it Bilbo talking about the Red Book? Or Frodo or Sam talking about it? Or is it Gandalf talking to Frodo after the destroction? Or Gandalf to Sam at the Havens? I am just guessing here.....

Tricky, tricky! That's one of those nasty constable types to Niggle when they want his painting, no?

...ummm... perhaps I should have said, when they come to take Niggle?... but the point is, they separate him from it. Anywayy....


--Belin Ibaimendi

Well, sorry to be so late, I was preoccupied a bit lately. Yes, Belin, you got it

Ah, well, I know how that is.... yes, yes I do.

Let's see, can I find a sufficiently difficult quote? Likely not... how about.......


Who to whom, and why are they mourning?

--Belin Ibaimendi

[ May 01, 2002: Message edited by: Belin ]

The King to his people in Farmer Giles of Ham; they were mourning the fall of the brave knights.

hey hey hey!!!

Lets get back to LOTR, please! Merlilot hasn't read the other books! you are spoiling it!!!

And I like Pippin's signature. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] he would say that, wouldn't he?

You might want to stick to quote threads on specific books you've read, then.

But this one isn't specified. It's not like I am forcing you to. Just a request. It has rather fallen into the minor works which not many of us have read, and has it's own thread.

And there is no need to be rude.

What was rude about it?

I was just stating that if a thread has no designation, it's open to any book by Tolkien.

Legalos, since that's what they should be doing, I think that's close enough, although of course actually they aren't mourning at all, but cheering. Your turn.

--Belin Ibaimendi

Yes, yes...I intended to type 'should be' [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Denethor to Pippin...

i just found a tone of contempt in there...like "well go find a different thread then, we don't want you here...

Maybe I read too much into it...

That's almost right.

There was no offense intended. Everyone is welcome to participate [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Im looking forward to this answer [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I suppose I'll let merlilot have it [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

It was sort of tricky. Just before it:

So, what we're reading in the text is Pippin talking, though they both said it. Had it been worded "Pippin repeated after Denethor when he said:", it would be the other way around.

A very minor technicality. Go ahead!
