I can't believe no one guessed it yet...
Could it be, that I mistook a movie quote for a book quote?! No, I refuse to believe that's possible!

Both, I believe. "That would depend on the manner of your return" was something Denethor said to Faramir in both -- wow, something that made the transition and stayed in the same people's mouths!

"Would that the trees might speak on behalf of all things that have roots and punish those that wrong them!"
Btw, the former quote (Denethor to Faramir) is a bit shorter in the book: "That depends on the manner of your return."
