Copy-Cat of Copy-Cat Quotes
OK, since there are a few people who like these, let's start another thread. Maybe we'll get lucky and won't have both threads stalled at the same time.
Newbies: See rules for Copy-Cat Quotes thread. This is VERY EASY to get it going. Quote:

RULES:
Quotes in this thread are phrases uttered by more than one character or uttered more than once by the same character - let's say in any/all the books. Identify the speakers or the contexts of the 2 instances (in the case of 1 speaker). HINTS: 1) To make it easier to find a suitable quote, find a short phrase or even a distinctive single word that's not used too many times in the book(s). Note too, that sometimes the "copied" quote is on the same page as the original. That still fits the "rules". 2) Questioners: remember to give hints if we need help! (Give us at least a week to work on it.) |
It was twice said by Merry to Gandalf while riding with Gandalf on Shadowfax. They were riding from Isengard with the Rohirrim.
Is that correct? |
I think I've lost Lostgaeriel! So, since it's been over a week, I'll post a new quote spoken twice:
Quote:
|
Aragorn, to Gandalf before entering Moria and er.. to himself after leaving Moira. Am I right?
|
Great job, and Welcome to the 'Downs!
The second instance, Aragorn yelled to Gandalf also, only Gandalf was already gone. Your turn! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |
Ok lets see...
"In Moria, in khazad-dum" maybe that's a little easy but I think finding one is harder then answering it. |
The first, Gimli chants in a verse about Durin.
The second, Sam says it to Gimli in reply. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |
That's right! I didn't think it would be that hard to find a quote. Your turn now.
|
I still have one up my sleeve because I've had a week to look. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
This may be a little more difficult, let me know if you need a hint Quote:
|
This one is difficult, but I think I've got it. If I'm remembering this right, in A conspiracy unmasked Merry says something about 'Dear old Frodo' being miserable, and, after spending forever trying to remember everything I could about the early Shire chapters, I remembered Pippin saying almost the exact same line later in the conversation. Is this right?
|
Yes! Excellent! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I knew you could do it.
You're up! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |
*sigh* I shouldn't have answered, now I have to find a quote... Can I use something in Elvish? It would probably be harder to find but I've got one ready.
|
I say, if you've got one...use it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
|
Ok, I'm not sure if the fact that it's in Elvish will make it easier or harder but here goes:
"Naur an edraith ammen" |
Gandalf says it both times.
The first time is sort of comic relief. They are on Caradhas without fire. He says it to catch would on fire, and writes 'Gandalf is here' in the sky [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] The second time, he says it to fight off the wolves between Caradhas and Moria. correct? |
Good! I wasn't sure if the Elvish would make it harder to find because (unless you can speak Elvish) you can't tell what they're talking about, or if it would be easier because there are only a few Elvish quotes to check (and they kind of stand out on the page). Well, your turn.
|
The first one is obvious, but we'll see about the second. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Quote:
|
Well, the first was Frodo, singing at the prancing pony... the other though, is harder to find. Merry says something like that after being told what happened while he was taking a walk but I'm not sure if he directly quoted the song or not. Still, it's worth a try.
|
Yes on Frodo the first time, but it wasn't Merry who said it again. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
|
Ok, now I've got it, Frodo says it again in Many Meetings, he was wishing he could tell Bilbo about all the adventures he'd had. That was tough, I couldn't think why they would say that again. Was that it?
|
Excellent! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
Your turn. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |
Ok, here's a quote:
Quote:
|
isnt it said twice about sarumon
' |
That's a good start, but do you know who said it?
|
I think Gandalf and Treeberd?
|
eomer says it first, i think gimli repeats it?
|
Gayalondiel has it right, good job! Your turn now.
|
ok, this seems obscure but its quite a prominent line...
Quote:

Hm, Gayalondiel, in LOTR, those words appear several times

Sorry to go on so .. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |
i bow down to the superior quotage! i was after the merry-theoden thing, i think its safe to say you have it! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

It's not the answering but the asking of these type of questions that's the tricky part!
Anyway .. after much searching. I've found a quote. It appears at least 3 times in the books spoken by at least 3 different characters. Bon Chance. Quote:

This is a tough one. So many quotes with something similar like 'the world has changed' or 'the wind is changing', etc.
Do I have to get all 3 instances of this quote? Quote:
Here's what I've got: Quote:

There are actually 4 instances of these four words in the Lord of the Rings ... keep going!
[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |
Geesh, Mat! Do you have a searchable .pdf file of LOTR or something?! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] I've noticed that you're so great at knowing or finding quotes.
I'll try again, but now in a more methodical way. Rather than check passages I suspect might have it, I'll scan the whole book from start to finish. And should I be checking the Prologue and Appendices too? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] |
Nah, not the odds and sods, everything is in the main book[s]. Clue: Two of the copycats appear on the same page
A searchable .pdf is a wonderful idea. If i had the time to scan 1000 odd pages that is. http://www.tulsahockey.com/forum/ima...iles/barry.gif |
I don't know about this one, but doesn't Galadriel say 'the world is changing'?
|
Frodo says it to Boromir during the scene at Amon Hen, and Boromir repeats the phrase to Frodo a bit later.
|
Turambar? Your turn to ask one.
I hereby verify that you found the other two instances of the quote: Quote:
