Luthien: Your honor, may I bring forth another point?

Judge: Permission granted.

Luthien: Mr. Jackson, I realize that you were making a film, and by nature it is very difficult to portray in a film those subtleties and nuances contained in a book. But I deplore your trivialization of characters, and the loss of some of the depth of the book. As evidence I present a movie line of Master Samwise, from "Farewell to Lorien", commonly known as the Gift-giving scene: "Have you got any more of those nice shiny daggers?" It is this sort of use of characters to which I object.
