This one was not so difficult, even without your once again impatient and early clues, Urwen. It's Éowyn to the Witch-King.

Indeed that was it.

This "capitalist metaphysics" ending made me wish to try my favourite metaphysics quote from LotR. I was not disappointed, what came out, was this:
Quote:
"I'm a ghost ring cold. The skin is your body, when seen, and all other political parties, cold eyes."
I wonder if you people can figure out where that comes from.

Also, from totally different area, this is lovely:
Quote:
"Century, Tags, Obesity Bread of Love "and she Smiled!"
This came out of the maximum translations, as after 10 or even 25, it was still quite easily recognisable. I can let you people wonder about it for a while here before I post where it is from - just for the sake of fun, because honestly, I doubt anybody is going to recognise what was the original quote.
