Elianna has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

I can only pick one? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] Hmmmmmm... Can I say fav from each book each movie? *yes* Okay good.
FotR book:
(flaps through book and finds the first fav she comes to) Gandalf: "You are not to talk or worry about anything today, by Elrond's orders." (gigle giggle, so cute, I'm glad Tolkien thought to enclude something like that)
TTT book:
"Here is the strangest riddle we have yet found!" exclaimed Legolas. "A bound prisoner escapes both from the Orcs and from the surrounding horsemen. He then stops, while still in the open, cuts his bounds with an orc-knife. But how and why? For if his legs were tied, how did he walk? And if his arms were tied, how did he use the knife? And if niether were tied, why did he cut the cords at all? Being pleased with his skill, he then sat down and quietly ate some waybread! That at least is enough to show that he was a hobbit, without the mallorn-leaf. After that, I suppose, he turned his arms into wings and flew away singing into the tress. it should be easy to find him: We only need wings ourselves!" Gotta love it. Lego would die if he had to be a Ranger.
But then there's also that part when one of Faramir's merry men mistakes Frodo and Sam for elves:
Faramir: "Nay not elves. Elves do not walk in Ithilien in these days. And Elves are wonderous fair to look upon, or so 'tis said."
Sam: "Meaning we're not I take you. Thank you kindly."
RotK:
(technically, I haven't read it yet, but I do konw this one part [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Eowyn: "But no living man am I. You look upon a woman. Eowyn am I, Eomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Be gone if you be not deathless, for either living or dark undead, I will smite you if you touch him." oh yeah! Eowyn rocks!
Movies:
FotR:
Boromir trying to take the ring from Frodo and then him screaming after Frodo runs away, and also he realizes what he's done. Sean Bean really is a great actor.
TTT:
Aragorn: What do fear my lady?
Eowyn: A cage. Having to hide behind bars until use and old age accept them. And all hope of valor has gone beyond recall or desire. (so cool!)
But then Aragorn's next line kinda ruins it. "Shield madien of Rohan"? Where in Middle Earth did that come from?!
I don't think I got Eowyn's line right. It is at least one of my favs. I REALLY what to learn it. Where can I find the scripit on-line?
