The Quote Game - Part 5
Here we go with part 5. The same rules apply as before.
Basically, you take a quote and remove every second letter, and put a slash between words. Whoever identifies the last element, be it quote, speaker, or both posts the next one. example: A_l/_h_t/_s/_o_d/_o_s/_o_/g_i_t_r answer: All that is gold does not glitter, Gandalf's letter (or Bilbo Baggins) Anything from The Hobbit, LOTR, the Silmaillion, or Unfinished Tales is fair game. Suggestions for posting: Some gamers find this method best, fastest, easiest and most accurate. When you've found your quote, type it all in without blanks, simply using the '/' instead of a space, as well as before and after each punctuation mark. Just after a punctuation mark can be a convenient place for a carriage return, if the spacing looks good. After typing, check for spelling and to see that all the words are correct. Then go through and replace every other letter with an underscore '_' - this goes quickly if you use the 'forward arrow' key to advance, use the 'delete' key and then add the underscore where the letter was. Oh - and we try our best to solve the quotes without looking them up. Valandil solved the last quote, so Val, it's your turn.

OK - for starters:
"W_a_/!/O_e/_f/_h_s_/s_m_l_t_n_/d_w_/i_/t_e/_h_r_/? /W_a_/u_e/_n/_a_t_/,/o_/u_d_r/_t/,/_o_l_/h_/p_s_i_l_/b_/? /L_t/_i_/s_e_l/_s/_e/_a_/,/h_/w_u_d/_e_e_/d_r_/t_/c_m_/ w_t_i_/s_e_l_n_/d_s_a_c_/o_/t_e/_a_e_e_t/_r_g_n_t/_e_/ f_o_/t_e/_h_l_!"

To re-post at current state:
"What! One of these simpletons down in the Shire? What use on earth, or under it, could he possible be? Let him smell as he may, he would never dare to come within smelling distance of the/_a_e_est dragonet new from the shell!" It's been a couple days... anyone looking for a hint?

Weeeee....
 With the help of my dictionary (hmph. It took some time) and my common sense (do you know how many words can be placed in '_a_e_est'?) I made it - is the word 'nakedest'? Speaker is Thorin? |

'nakedest' is correct!
Thorin is not...  I'll give you a hint though... it's another Dwarf. So... guess the Dwarf!

"Come! Let us see what Sting can do. It is an elven-blade.
There were webs of horror in the dark ravines of Beleriand where it was forged. But you must be the guard and hold back the /e_e_/. Here, take the star-glass. Do not be afraid. Hold it up and /_a_c_/!"
