Favorite Lord of the Rings quotes Part 1

So it seems that my stupid sickness will not go away. So as i sit her at home i have decided to share some of my favorite quotes from Lord of the Rings, which i just finished a full extended edition marathon with my good friend Cassady. P.S. these are just a few of my favorites i could quote the entire series for you but that would be pointless since watching them is ten billion times better. 


The Fellowship of the Ring


Pippin: Are we lost? 
Merry: No. 
Pippin: I think we are. 
Merry: Shh. Gandalf's thinkin'. 
Pippin: Merry? 
Merry: What? 
Pippin: I'm hungry. 


Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened. 
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought. 


Legolas: Lembas! 
[nibbles a corner] 
Legolas: One small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man! 
Merry: [to Pippin] How many did you eat? 
Pippin: Four. 
[burps] "

Gandalf: I once knew every spell in all the tongues of Elves... Men... and Orcs. 
Pippin: What are you going to do, then? 
Gandalf: Knock your head against these doors, Peregrin Took! And if that does not shatter them, and I am allowed a little peace from foolish questions, I will try to find the opening words."

Sam: I made a promise, Mr Frodo. A promise. "Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee." And I don't mean to. I don't mean to. 

Bilbo: [voice] It's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no telling where you might be swept off to. 

Frodo: Mordor... I hope the others find a safer road. 
Sam: Strider'll look after them. 
Frodo: I don't suppose we'll ever see them again.
 Sam: We may yet, Mr. Frodo. We may. 
Frodo: Sam... I'm glad you're with me. 

Gandalf: [to Pippin] Fool of a Took. Throw yourself in next time, and rid us of your stupidity. 

The Two Towers

Gollum: [to Sam] Stupid, fat hobbit. 

Gimli: Oh come on, we can take 'em.
 Aragorn: It's a long way. 
Gimli: Toss me. 
Aragorn: What? 
Gimli: I cannot jump the distance, you'll have to toss me.
[
pauses, looks up at Aragorn

Gimli: Don't tell the elf. 
Aragorn: Not a word. 

[a wall of soldiers line the ramparts - the top of Gimli's helm barely peeks over the top
Gimli: [to Legolas] You could have picked a better spot. 

Merry: I think we might have made a mistake leaving the Shire, Pippin. 

Frodo: I can't do this, Sam. 
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 will 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 turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. 
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
 Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for. 

Sam: I wonder if we'll ever be put into songs or tales. 
Frodo: [turns around] What? 
Sam: I wonder if people will ever say, 'Let's hear about Frodo and the Ring.' And they'll say 'Yes, that's one of my favorite stories. Frodo was really courageous, wasn't he, Dad?' 'Yes, my boy, the most famousest of hobbits. And that's saying a lot.' 
Frodo: [continue walking] You've left out one of the chief characters - Samwise the Brave. I want to hear more about Sam.
[
stops and turns to Sam

Frodo: Frodo wouldn't have got far without Sam. 
Sam: Now Mr. Frodo, you shouldn't make fun; I was being serious. Frodo: So was I.
[
they continue to walk

Sam: Samwise the Brave... 

Gimli: It's true you don't see many dwarf women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are often mistaken for dwarf men. 
Aragorn: [whispering] It's the beards. 
Gimli: And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no dwarf women, and that dwarves just spring out of holes in the ground!
[
Eowyn laughs

Gimli: Which is, of course, ridiculous. 

[from extended version
Sam: Can you see the bottom? 
Frodo: No. Don't look down, Sam, just keep going! 
Sam: [drops a small box] Ouagh! Catch It! Grab it, Mr. Frodo!
[
Frodo catches it, loses his grip and then lands on the ground

Frodo: I think I found the bottom. 
Sam: It's not natural. None of it. 
Frodo: What's in this? 
Sam: Nothin'. Just a bit of seasoning. I thought maybe if we was havin' a roast chicken one night or something... Frodo: Roast chicken? 
Sam: You never know. 
Frodo: Oh Sam, my dear Sam

Gimli: [failing to see over the wall] What's happening out there? 
Legolas: Shall I describe it to you? 
Gimli: [turns] Hmm? 
Legolas: Or would you like me to find you a box?
[
Gimli laughs


[during the Battle of Helm's Deep, Gimli has killed an Uruk-Hai warrior
Gimli: Legolas! Two already! 
Legolas: I'm on seventeen!
 Gimli: Huh? I'll have no pointy-ear outscoring me!
[
kills another one

Legolas: [shoots two more arrows] Nineteen! 

Legolas: Final count, forty-two. 
Gimli: Forty-two? Oh, that's not bad for a pointy-eared elvish princeling. Hmph! I myself am sitting pretty on forty-THREE. 
Legolas: [takes out an arrow, and shoots the Uruk Gimli is sitting on in the stomach] Forty-three. Gimli: He was already dead! 
Legolas: He was twitching. 
Gimli: He was *twitching* because he's got my axe EMBEDDED IN HIS NERVOUS SYSTEM!
[
rattles the handle of his ax; the Uruk's arms and legs twitch

[from the extended version
Pippin: Why are there so few of you, when you live so long? Are there Ent children? 
Treebeard: [Sadly] Brrharroom. There have been no Entings for a terrible long count of years. 
Merry: Why is that? 
Treebeard: We lost the Entwives. 
Pippin: Oh, I'm sorry. How did they die? 
Treebeard: Die? No. We *lost* them. And now, we cannot *find* them.
[
hopefully

Treebeard: I don't suppose you've seen Entwives in the Shire? 
Merry: Can't say that I have. You, Pip? 
Pippin: [thinks for a moment] What do they look like? 
Treebeard: [pauses] Hrrooom... I... don't... remember... now. 

Eomer: What business does an Elf, a Man, and a Dwarf have in the Riddermark? Speak quickly! 
Gimli: Give me your name, Horse-master, and I shall give you mine. 
Eomer: [gets off horse] I would cut off your head, Dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground. 
Legolas: [prepares bow and arrow] You would die before your stroke fell.
[
Rohirrim point spears at Legolas


Well seeing that there were a lot more then I expected I'm going to give you the last from Return of the King tomorrow.
