It's a v.long quote, so I shan't write it down, but the speech Theoden gives and then the description of the Ride of the Rohirrim in the chapter of the same name is awesome. actually makes me cry. Also:'And thus came Aragorn, son of Arathorn...'. Or how bout one of the most moving lines I've ever read when Sam says to Galadriel: '...as if struggling with tears. "No, I'll go hame the long road with Mr Frodo or not at all..."' Amazing.
Film is just a goldmine! 'One does not simply walk into Mordor. More than orcs guard its Black Gates, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. There is evil there that does not sleep. Tis a barren wasteland riddled with fire and ash and dust, and the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly.' Or maybe: 'The nine have left Minas Morgul. They crossed the River Isen on midsummer's eve, disguised as riders in black. They will find The Ring, and kill the one who bears it.' 'Did you seriously believe a hobbit could contend with the will of Sauron? There are none who can.' '"It would be wise, my friend." "Tell me, *friend*, when did Saruman the Wise abandon reason for madness!?"' '"No, Sam. I'm going to Mordor alone!" "Course you are, and I'm coming with you!"' So many more. '"How many are there?" "Ten thousand strong." "Let them come."' '"I will not lead my people to open war." "Open war is upon you." "When last I checked I was King of this Hall." "BUUUURP!!!"' "WRAITHS! WRAITHS ON WINGS!" '"I don't think Gandalf meant for us to come this way." "Gandalf didn't mean for a lot of things to happen, Sam."' 'The tree's talking, Merry.' 'Don't talk back, you'll only encourage it!' I'll leave it at that. Man, I love this kinda stuff! Hehe!
