Quote:

And send my regards to your poor little brother

heh heh heh... [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

ok, ermm... an easy one cos i can't think of anything else, these are difficult!

Quote:

Faramir! Faramir!

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-05-2002, 08:14 AM

The first time it was 'men' that cried it, when 'they' bore him into Minas Tirith...

I can't find the second... :-(

--- This was an officially help to all others ;-) ---

Narya · 02-05-2002, 09:20 AM

Maybe the second time is just Pippin shouting "Faramir!Faramir!" with the people of Minas Tirith.?

Gayalondiel · 02-05-2002, 09:23 AM

That's where I have it, you have the crowd shouting it THEN you have Pippin joining in with the crowd, as a main character i counted him separate. Sorry if it confused...

Fight it out between yourselves who gets to post next [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Narya · 02-05-2002, 09:46 AM

hmmm.. i think I have a quote.
If you don´t mind Androndo, I´ll ask it

BtW:When Faramir comes to Minas Tirith after he has escaped from the Nazgul they shout "Faramir" but also when he is nearly dead and carried into the town the people cry and say his name... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-05-2002, 10:15 AM

I don't have any... you go Narya...

Narya · 02-05-2002, 10:33 AM

Okay..
Here´s it:
"My precious."
It is said by two people and well ... i think you should have guessed the first one already
[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-05-2002, 10:48 AM

Gollum and Bilbo...

Narya · 02-05-2002, 11:08 AM

Yes, exactly
I first though it would be a bit more difficult
[img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-06-2002, 08:22 AM

I have learned someting: Only post a reply if you can make a ney question [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

so - if anyone has a copy-cat quote fell free to post - i simply can't come up with something...

Lostgaeriel · 02-06-2002, 09:38 PM

OK. I've got a few waiting to post. How about this one? (Easy - find one instance and you've found both.)

Quote:

...Aragorn comes into his own...

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-07-2002, 12:19 AM

No way! I had a bad enough time finding a question last time, I'm not falling for that trick again! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-09-2002, 11:48 PM

Gimli to Legolas and Legolas to Gimli, in Minas Tirith after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, discussing the improvements that each of their peoples can make to Minas Tirith.

Elendur · 02-12-2002, 11:49 PM

Who were the two people who said this quote:

Quote:

How the wind howls!

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-12-2002, 11:51 PM

Elendur - it wasn't your turn. I was waiting for Lostgariel to acknowledge my answer before asking the next question. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
And to answer your question anyway, it was Frodo and Aragorn before the Wargs attacked.

[ February 13, 2002: Message edited by: Bruce MacCulloch ]

Elendur · 02-13-2002, 01:25 AM

Sorry Bruce. I thought it was agreed that we could post whenever we found a double quote in the book.

You are right though. I just wanted to give a quote out for fun. Not meaning to wreck the structure of the thread.

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-13-2002, 01:57 AM

No harm done, Elendur. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
But if I don't hear from Lostgariel by this time tomorrow, I am going to post the next question.

[ February 14, 2002: Message edited by: Bruce MacCulloch ]

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-14-2002, 12:08 AM

Well, It's been four days since I answered the question and I've gotten no confirmation of it. I've had time to go and double-check my answer in the book, and it looks like I'm right. So... I'm going to go ahead and post the next quote.

Quote:

Come hither!

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-14-2002, 06:29 AM

harken, hither and wager ... Haha... i allways remember where the odd words are [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] (i especially remember 'hither' bequase it looks a little like Hitler..)

Elrond speaking to the council of Frodo.

Faramir to Gollum...

Aragorn to Êowyn...

Denethor to his servants...

Anything else mylord [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]?

(Does this meen i have to find 2 copy-cat quotes? aaargh!)

[ February 14, 2002: Message edited by: Androndo the Thoughtfull ]

Bruce MacCulloch · 02-14-2002, 03:38 PM

Correct!
Good luck finding matching quotes! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
You'll need it.

Androndo the Thoughtfull · 02-15-2002, 08:20 AM

ok, describe two situations 'Good Gracious' is said...

*and now by good management and good luck I have done it.*

[ February 15, 2002: Message edited by: Androndo the Thoughtfull ]

Lostgaeriel · 02-18-2002, 10:32 AM

So sorry, Bruce!
I forgot I had posted a question and I've been away from the Downs ever since. Of course you got it. Glad to see you went ahead.

Vilya Elathelas of Rivendell · 02-19-2002, 07:12 PM

i'm pretty sure I've got one. can I post it, or must I wait?? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Joy · 02-19-2002, 07:56 PM

Vilya, if you have a copy-cat quote, start another thread. In order to post a question, you must answer correctly the post before it.

Which was

Quote:

Where are the two place where "Good Gracious" is spoken?

Good luck Vilya and great to have you aboard the Barrow-Downs. Hope you enjoy your stay here.

Vilya Elathelas of Rivendell · 02-19-2002, 08:03 PM

is it LOTR or the Sil cuz I haven't read the Sil yet.

Joy · 02-19-2002, 08:59 PM

I honestly think that it is either in LotR or the Hobbit. I remember reading it and those are the only books that I have read, except for 7 chapters of the Sil.

Gayalondiel · 02-25-2002, 07:54 AM

I sort of have two, both from the hobbit, but neither is 'good gracious' standing alone.

Bilbo says 'Good Gracious me' when he recognises Gandalf at the beginning.

Gandalf says 'Good gracious heavens, no no NO NO' when Bilbo thinks Beorn is a furrier.

Good enough? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Gayalondiel · 03-05-2002, 05:08 AM

I make it eight days i've been waiting for a reply to this. i have a new quote though, should i post it or keep waiting?

Joy · 03-06-2002, 02:05 AM

I would say go ahead. You've waited pasgt the 7 day rule.

Gayalondiel · 03-07-2002, 06:25 AM

ok then, which two said:

Quote:

Mr Peregrin Took I should say

Eowyn of Ithilien · 03-08-2002, 01:08 AM

errrrm father maggott and gandalf???

Gayalondiel · 03-08-2002, 02:51 AM

farmer maggott is good, the other is not really that close.

good guess tho [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Lostgaeriel · 03-21-2002, 04:41 PM

Just to get this thread going again...

Wasn't it Sam who said

Quote:

Why, look Mr. Frodo! Look here! Well, if it isn't Pippin. Mr. Peregrin Took I should say, and Mr. Merry! How they have grown! Bless me! But I can see there's more tales to tell than ours.

(The Field of Cormallen)

And as Éowyn of Ithilien originally answered, Farmer Maggot said

Quote:

Well, if it isn't Master Pippin - Mr. Peregrin Took, I should say!

(A Short Cut to Mushrooms)

So, Gayalondiel, is that correct?

Gayalondiel · 03-29-2002, 04:52 PM

absolutely right! and good luck eith your quote,they're getting harder to find [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Lostgaeriel · 04-05-2002, 02:34 PM

No problem - I had a dozen or so before I started the thread. (Sorry for the delay - I've been away from the Downs for a week or so.)

Quote:

How long have you known all this?

alaklondewen · 04-05-2002, 03:52 PM

I thought this sounded so familiar...
Frodo says it twice to Gandalf in The Shadow of the Past.

It that what you're looking for?

Lostgaeriel · 04-05-2002, 03:59 PM

Yep, that's it! (I sometimes think that Gandalf isn't a very good listener. Likes to hear himself talk? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

Got a quote?

alaklondewen · 04-06-2002, 10:36 AM

I sure do!

How about...

Quote:

Say just that!

Gayalondiel · 04-09-2002, 05:32 AM

erm, well pippin says it repeating sauron's words to him, do we count sauron as having a quote of his own?

alaklondewen · 04-09-2002, 02:54 PM

You're close enough. Pippen says it twice. Once when he was still in his "trance", and the other when describing what Sauron said.

Good job, your turn [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
