Hmm. This seems to be a challenging game.

How about 1) Frodo to Gandalf in Rivendell.
2) Pippin to Gandalf in Minas Tirith?

That is correct (that actually made three instances - the third being Merry in Houses of Healing).

All yours.

Okay. How about?

Gorbag and Shagrat both said it, to each other.

Yep. Your turn.

By the way, I really like JRRt's interactions of Middle-earth's Rosenkrantz and Gildenstern. These orcs actually come alive as real, and rather pitiable, sentient beings, including their dreams of setting up somewhere on their own (as much as anything to get away from Sauron and the nazgul). Rather a pity there are no noted instances of orc redemption, given their origin is men and/or elves.

Quote:

"Half a minute!"

Find two instances where this is said, with that exact capitalization/punctuation.

Is it ok if they're from different books? I think it is so:

1. Frodo to Gandalf in 'A long-expected party'
2. Dori to Bilbo in 'Over hill and under hill'.
