Portuguese! It's a Romance language, so it shouldn't be too difficult. (EDIT: For the record, I don't speak Portuguese; I had to use a computer program.  I ain't language-canny like the rest of you folks.)

All right, this one is in French, but I believe it is not that easy to connect it to context, so I would like to underline the fact that I want also the correct name of the book and chapter where this is taken from.
"Ta fenetre ne regarde pas a l'est?" il disait. "On peut amender ca." I must add, it was very painful to refresh my French skills...

That is, of course, Faramir to Éowyn in LotR, RotK, Chapter V, The Steward and the King.
