Now! No, when I lack the locks of Lad-Galad itself you know; and the boots of eight queens, and the ropes of six muggles, and have sold myself an odd number of stilettos no sizes smaller than these I take off then.

(Correct answer, by the way...)

LePetitChoux 11-30-2002 10:18 AM

Nobody? Is it really that hard? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img] [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Orodoliel 11-30-2002 02:03 PM

It is Saruman:

"Later! Yes, when you also have the Keys of Barad-dur itself, I suppose; and the crowns of seven kings, and the rods of the Five Wizards, and have purchased yourself a pair of boots many sizes larger than those that you wear now.

He is talking to Gandalf in The Voice of Saruman.

I think.

LePetitChoux 11-30-2002 06:52 PM

Yay!!!! It's right!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

-Imrahil- 11-30-2002 07:06 PM

Cool game!

Orodoliel 12-01-2002 03:31 AM

"You despair so," thought ___. "You want to be both!"

Who and Where?

LePetitChoux 12-01-2002 04:26 AM

"I hope so," thought ________."I don't want to be both."
That was just a literal translation, btw. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Orodoliel 12-01-2002 11:52 AM

That's quite close!
But not quite there.
If no one has got it in a couple of days I'll post a clue.

LePetitChoux 12-01-2002 03:51 PM

It sounds like a Frodo thing to say, in RotK, but I'm probably wrong... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Orodoliel 12-02-2002 01:35 PM

Nope! It's not Frodo, nor is it in the Return of the King.

As a clue I'll say...

It's in FotR.

Orodoliel 12-05-2002 12:41 PM

Anyone?

It's said by Sam in the FotR.
Is it hard or has no one seen it?

Orual 12-05-2002 07:09 PM

Yeah, it was Sam in FotR, he says "I hope not! I don't want to be neither!" in response to Frodo's joke that he'd be a warrior or a wizard by the end of the quest.

~*~Orual~*~

Orodoliel 12-06-2002 12:29 PM

Yep!
That's right Orual! Go ahead when you're ready!

LePetitChoux 12-12-2002 11:38 AM

Orual? I think we've lost him. Oh deary, deary me! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

On a happier note, I will steal the turn, if it may be called stealing, and try to baffle all of you with...
Quote:

She is cheap to me, you smell. And her laziness is two that I hope to succeed? It hasn't. Or later she was succumbing to the fast carefreeness of days, as short and fast as your arts in the small valley can't contrive, and always be imprisoned, especially definitely when she is the same and mended, so that she won't go from me and I won't smell what I haven't done.
Good luck! That was very long! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

"He was dear to you, I see. Or else his errand was one that you did not wish to fail? It has. And now he shall endure the slow torment of years, as long and slow as our arts in the Great Tower can contrive, and never be released, unless maybe when he is changed and broken, so that he may come to you, and you shall see what you have done."
-Mouth of Sauron to Gandalf about Frodo at the Morannon.

LePetitChoux 12-13-2002 03:59 PM

Yes! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

hobbitlass 12-14-2002 06:34 AM

'I haven't wilted, wholing. No, I haven't wilted a little. I am not ignorant, or kind. I haven't given your forgiveness of bitterness, or later you must not come out sweetness, out lein from my vengefulness. You love it or I.'

LePetitChoux 12-14-2002 07:01 AM

Quote:

You have grown, halfling. Yes, you have grown very much. You are wise, and cruel. You have robbed my revenge of sweetness, and now I must go hence in bitterness, in debt to your mercy. I hate it and you!
Sharkey (Saruman) to Frodo in the Scouring of the Shire, RotK. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Most of all at bad certainty you went to the left day to punish me for my hastiness. That was the door of the dawn, ____________, ugliest of none the flies of ________, sea of few valleys.

LePetitChoux 12-16-2002 02:55 PM

Honestly, people! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Am I too clever for you? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Clue, maybe? OK, It is in TTT. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

'At least by good chance we came at the right hour to reward you for your patience,' said Faramir. 'This is the Window of the Sunset, Henneth Annûn, fairest of all the falls of Ithilien, land of many fountains.

LePetitChoux 12-17-2002 11:40 AM

Yep! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

mordor136 12-17-2002 11:54 AM

Is your signiture written in Russian HerenIstarion? just guessing

LePetitChoux 12-17-2002 02:12 PM

Yes, it is from a book called "Master i Margarita" which means "The Master and Margaret" [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I am aware that I'm not HerenIstarion, but hey. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion 12-18-2002 07:43 AM

thanks LePetitChoux

it may be translated as:

...I'm not fooling around, not touching anyone, merely repairing my primus stove...

Estelyn Telcontar 12-18-2002 10:27 AM

Here's the next backwards quote for you:
Quote:

Since you do not have to fail and go away; but it will be undone by standing and feeling.

LePetitChoux 12-20-2002 10:04 AM

Quote:

So I must succeed and come; and it won't be done by sitting and thinking.
It sounds like Bilbo, or Sam, ofr the Gaffer...someone like that. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Estelyn Telcontar 12-20-2002 01:45 PM

LePetitChoux, you have the last part of the quote precisely right, and your guess as to the speaker isn't far off. Keep thinking... or reading!

LePetitChoux 12-22-2002 05:43 AM

Which book is it in? (1-6) [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

Estelyn Telcontar 12-22-2002 08:44 AM

Book 1 [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

LePetitChoux 12-22-2002 03:49 PM

I'm sorry...I'm still completely stumped... [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]
Oh dear.... A nice pickle you've landed me in! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Beren87 12-22-2002 05:34 PM

mwhahaha, found it!
Quote:

"I was thinking so," said Frodo. "But we have got to try and get there; and it won't be done by sitting and thinking."
[ December 22, 2002: Message edited by: Beren87 ]

LePetitChoux 12-23-2002 05:32 AM

I knew that. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

No, seriously, well done! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

(I think it is right)

Estelyn Telcontar 12-23-2002 07:04 AM

That's it, Beren87! Good job, and welcome to the game! Your turn to come up with one now...

LePetitChoux 12-26-2002 09:28 AM

Ach, it's been three days! I can't stand it any more! Please post! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]

hobbitlass 12-27-2002 11:05 AM

Ha Ha Ha! I think you ought to take your signature picture's advice, Lepetitchoux! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Besides they have a couple more days before they have to post, and you'll have to wait it out. Slowly and torturously and with great agony! MUUUHAHAHAHA! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Beren87 12-27-2002 02:37 PM

Well, Im back! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Quote:

"They'll be way ahead of us," said _____, "we have no one out there."
Good Luck!

LePetitChoux 12-29-2002 03:56 PM

"We can't be far behind of them," said .........., "They don't have many in here"

Just an approximation [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Beren87 12-29-2002 05:58 PM

Haha, well....Its not "directly" backwards if you get my meaning. You'll have to actually look for a quote to fit it.
