"Well, I'm back."

Deagol · 04-10-2010, 09:51 PM

I don't remember in accurate detail how, exactly, this was portrayed in the film (and who cares -- the thread is two years old), but as it was ultimately my dear friend Smeagol -- murdering (expletive deleted) that he was --who saved the entire production -- I'm surprised not to see this exchange mentioned here somewhere:

What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature [Frodo declares] when he had a chance!"

"Pity? [Gandalf replies] It was Pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without need. And he has been well rewarded, Frodo. Be sure that [Bilbo] took so little hurt from the evil, and escaped in the end, because he began his ownership of the Ring so. With Pity."

"I am sorry" said Frodo. "But I am frightened; and I do not feel any pity for Gollum."

"You have not seen him," Gandalf broke in.

"No, and I don’t want to," said Frodo. ". . . Now at any rate he is as bad as an Orc, and just an enemy. He deserves death."

"Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it. And he is bound up with the fate of the Ring. My heart tells me that he has some part to play yet, or good or Ill, before the end; and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many -- yours not least."

Probably Saruman's speech in the RotK extended edition. His voice is so awesome. Either that, Galadriel's opening words to FotR, or Theoden's dying words.

It's gotta be that classic line:
"Let's go hunt some orc!"
at the end of FOTR, Aragorn. I couldn't stop laughing.

I also like Sam's quote:

Sam:
I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand, I know now.
Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turnin' back, only they didn't. They kept goin', because they were holdin' on to somethin'.

Frodo:
What are we holding onto, Sam?

Sam:
That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fightin' for.

That one made me cry...

Me too, or at least tears. Love the integration of Tolkien's love of story-telling.

I think my favourite quote from the movies is when Aragorn says to Eowyn (ROTK):
"I am but a shadow of a dream...
I cannot give you what you seek."
Or something like that, can't remember the exact wording. But I know that it is such a beautiful moment as you can see how wise he is and how much he cares for her, but at the same time he knows that she is not in love with him, she is in love with what he represents...

The scene where the Uruk-hai want to eat Merry and Peppin and then the leader (forgot his name) slices someone's head off and says:

"LOOKS LIKE MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!"

I ALWAYS laugh at that scene, even if I don't want to. :')

What's your favourite line from the movie. Where is it and who said it. Why do you like it.

I have two. My first is Aragorn's line(s) at the Black Gate.
'Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers, I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come, when the courage of men fails. When we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields as the age of men comes crashing down. But it is not this day this day we fight. By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!'

And my second is Sam's at Osgiliath afte he saved Frodo, but that's even longer than the Aragorn one so I won't write it down.

What are yours?
