How about this one:
Quote:

Come not between the Nazgûl and his prey!

(
The Battle of the Pelennor Fields)
Quote:
Peace Kent!
Come not between the dragon and his wrath.

(
King Lear Act I, Scene i)
To put Théoden in the place of Cordelia and Éowyn in that of Kent is very funny in itself, but to then have Lear's words echoed almost verbatim by the Lord of the Nazgûl, a 'King' unknowingly on the very verge of destruction, is sheer brilliance.
