Hmm...nope! I've always heard and liked it as "Let em go!"

Whoever wrote the script you're reading probably just messed up a bit. Going by there own incorrect memory instead of consulting the movie.

WhatI don't understand about that line is that "Longshanks" was Bill Ferny's name for Aragorn. How'd Sam learn it?

I think it was one of those times that PJ takes one character's line in the book and gives it to another character in the movie. Like at the Moria gate, Frodo in the movie says that whole line about the riddle, but in the books it was Merry. There wasn't really a Bill Ferny in the movie, so they gave the line to Sam.
