Frodo: “Strange women lying in ponds distributing lilies is no basis for a system of government!”

Tom: “Oh! Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help, help! I'm being repressed!”

Merry: "And now for something completey different."

Sam: "Yes. Shrubberies are my trade. I am a shrubber. My name is Sam the Shrubber. I arrange, design, and sell shrubberies.”

Elrond: " “First you must find... another shrubbery! (dramatic chord). No, wait! I mean, another firery crack. Then, when you have found the shrubbery, I mean, firery crack, you must place it here, beside this cracked shrubbery, only slightly higher so you get a two layer effect with a little path running down the middle. ("A path! A path!") Then, you must throw it into the path of the crack... with... Herr's Ring!”

Gollem: “I'm not the Ring-bearer - I'm a very naughty boy.”
