Nope, none of them.

Sleepy Ranger 02-26-2004 04:17 PM

Need a hint?

Eowyn Skywalker 02-26-2004 05:49 PM

Its A.
I recognize it... but I don't know who said it.
-Eowyn Skywalker

rutslegolas 02-27-2004 12:00 AM

lets see its C. Aragorn to Theoden

Sleepy Ranger 02-27-2004 02:28 AM

A it is. But who to whom?
HINT-Frodo wasn't born when it was spoken.;)

symestreem 02-28-2004 03:58 PM

Thorin, Dwalin, Balin, Fili, Kili, Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Bilbo, or some combination of the above.

"We are trapped!" they groaned. "This is the end. We shall surely die here."-
the dwarves and Bilbo, after Smaug smashed the door and trapped them in the mountain in The Hobbit.

Sleepy Ranger 02-29-2004 09:55 AM

Thats it your go

symestreem 02-29-2004 12:42 PM

"Be not hasty...


A. There are enough chips to go around.
B. Master Meriadoc
C. You'll be letting out your own right names if you're not careful.
D. We ask a greater thing than thou knowest.
E. Let wisdom guide your course.

Thorongil 02-29-2004 03:34 PM

B. Treebeard to Merry.

rutslegolas 02-29-2004 11:18 PM

C. Treebeard to Merry
E. Faramir to Frodo

symestreem 03-03-2004 03:39 PM

No, no, and no. Since you have between you guessed all the logical answers except for the right one, I will give you the answer (hope nobody took me seriously about the chips).
It's from the Sil:
"But Aule said: 'Be not hasty! We ask a greater thing than thou knowest. Let him have peace yet awhile.'"
I know two of those sound like Treebeard should have said them, but I don't believe he ever uses those exact words. He usually addresses Merry as 'Merry', not 'Master Meriadoc'.
I'm not sure what correct thread procedure is in a case like this, so I'm posing another question. Whoever can identify and complete the quote from answer C can take the thread. It's not difficult.
rutslegolas, please only submit one guess at a time. It makes it more fun for the rest of us!

Arvedui III 03-03-2004 06:15 PM

The Sil? Ahh, that would explain why the chips answer seemed like the only one left. Would have hilarious if it was.

Quote:

You call yourselves hobbits? But you should not go telling just anybody. You'll be letting out your own right names if you're not careful.
Treebeard to Merry.

symestreem 03-03-2004 08:07 PM

I don't believe they had potato chips in Middle-earth. Or microchips. Perhaps they were poker chips? Or... buffalo chips.
Your turn, Arvedui.

Arvedui III 03-03-2004 09:17 PM

Perhaps. Herm, let's have an easy one:

"He is dead...

A. It's as I feared.
B. As he foresaw
C. I shan't ever be able to smoke again without thinking of him.
D. But not forgotten.
E. Ohohoh, look who know's so much. Turns out your friend here is only mostly dead. With mostly dead, you're still a little bit alive.

Eowyn Skywalker 03-04-2004 12:33 AM

The correct answer is C.
It is Merry, in regards to King Theoden's death, after he wakes up in the House of Healing, and asks Aragorn, Gandalf, and Pippin for a smoke.
And Pippin says: Smoke then, and think of him.
Or something like that.
Anyhow. the game is to name the quoter and the finished quote.
There. Is it right?
Thanks,
Eowyn SKywalker

Sleepy Ranger 03-04-2004 05:29 PM

I forgot this place existed.
I'm not sure. No books handy to check. But If i remmeber correct it was Eowyn to Eomer. He is dead as he foresaw.

Arvedui III 03-04-2004 06:38 PM

Good try, Eowyn Skywalker. C was the trap answer. Merry says a little bit before he declars not to smoke. Sleepy is right. Your go, Mr. Ranger. :)

Sleepy Ranger 03-09-2004 10:10 AM

"And there is a great deal too,"

A. If you'd like some.
B. That we want to know about you.
C. But that is not enough.
D. A bit too great for some.
E. But not great enough for me.

Mariska Greenleaf 03-09-2004 10:16 AM

B. that we want to know about you.

Sleepy Ranger 03-09-2004 10:32 AM
