Who said.... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

There's another similar thread with descriptions of locations (called, appropriately enough, Locations) and I thought this might interest people. Guess who said this, and to whom:

"The treacherous are ever distrustful. But you need not fear for your skin. I do not wish to kill you, or hurt you, as you would know, if you really understood me."

Not too tough. Figure it out and answer with another quote!

Joy · 03-11-2002, 02:34 PM

Frodo to Gollum??

03-11-2002, 03:00 PM

good guess, but no.

Samwise · 03-11-2002, 07:58 PM

Gandalf to Saruman?

Quote:

"There was a lot more," said Sam, "all about Mordor. I didn't learn that part, it gave me the shivers. "

03-11-2002, 08:17 PM

Yep, you got it. In the Voice of Saruman. Now you.

Samwise · 03-12-2002, 06:12 PM

You're KIDDING!?!? I got it right? Okay, here goes.

"There are evil things written on this hilt, though maybe your eyes cannot see them. "

Who said it to who, and (bonus) about what?

Watcher in the Water · 03-12-2002, 07:48 PM

I think it was Glorfindel to Aragorn... about the hilt of the knife that injured Frodo on Weathertop.

Samwise · 03-12-2002, 07:54 PM

Yes, Watcher, right on both counts. Yours is the next question.

Quote:

"That's all I know." stammered Sam, blushing. "I learned it from Mr. Bilbo when I was a lad. "

Watcher in the Water · 03-13-2002, 07:40 PM

Dreadfully easy chestnut...

Who said: "Well, I'm home."

Samwise · 03-13-2002, 08:00 PM

Actually, I believe he said, "Well, I'm back." and it was me--I mean, Sam to Rose Cotton.

Watcher in the Water · 03-13-2002, 08:22 PM

Ahh crap... I gotta stop stuffing these things up... and you are right... you did say that...

Ask on Master Gamgee

Samwise · 03-13-2002, 10:29 PM

Thank you, kind sir: now, lets see...okay...

Quote:

"A decent respectable hobbit was Mister Drogo Baggins; there was never much to tell of him, till he was drownded."

Who said it to whom? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Bruce MacCulloch · 03-13-2002, 10:56 PM

The Gaffer to the other patrons of the Ivy Bush on the Bywater Road.

Samwise · 03-15-2002, 04:13 PM

Yes, Bruce, that's it. I apologize for the delay in answering.

Quote:

"I don't know about that," said Sam. "But how would this suit? It ain't what I call proper poetry, if you understand me: just a bit of nonsense. But these old images here brought it to my mind."
Standing up, with his hands behind his back, as if he was at school, he began to sing to an old tune.

Gamgee, you need to let up on the pipe and ale.

?

Merry · 05-10-2002, 05:26 PM

I am taking a purely wild guess here in the vague hope that I get it right but, Sam's gaffer?

Samwise · 05-10-2002, 06:30 PM

Um...Frodo to Gandalf?

Quote:

Sam looked from bank to bank uneasily. The trees had seemed hostile before, as if they harboured secret eyes and lurking dangers; now he wished that the trees were still there. He felt that the company was on a river that was the frontier of war.

Joy · 05-11-2002, 01:54 AM

Bruce:

Quote:

I believe that it was Pippin to Gandalf - concerning Gandalf and Aragorn.

I honestly can't remember.. I just know that I read this the other night.

Arwen Imladris · 05-20-2002, 11:54 AM

Samwise??

Arwen Imladris · 05-28-2002, 11:44 AM

O.K. No one has asked in a long time so, an easy one:

Who said:

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Daniel Telcontar · 05-28-2002, 11:52 AM

Bilbo at the birthday party.

Next quote: If by my life or death I can protect you, I will.

05-28-2002, 12:25 PM

Aragorn to Frodo at the Council of Elrond.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next quote: "Life in the wide world goes on, much as it has this past age."

Arwen Imladris · 05-28-2002, 01:11 PM

Daniel Telcontar you were correct.

Next quote: Gandalf to Frodo in the shire.

Next quote: Bilbo Baggins! Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks, I am not trying to rob you. I'm trying to help you.

Samwise · 05-28-2002, 09:47 PM

Quote:

Bilbo Baggins! Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks, I am not trying to rob you. I'm trying to help you.

Gandalf to Bilbo.

Arwen Imladris · 05-29-2002, 02:31 PM

correct! Your turn.

Samwise · 05-29-2002, 02:54 PM

"My heart will be glad, even in the winter; but it lies many miles away. Let us hasten! "

Quote:

Out of the shadows a ladder was let down. Legolas ran lightly up, and Frodo followed slowly; behind came Sam, trying not to breathe loudly.

05-30-2002, 08:41 AM

How come no one tried to guess my quote???? [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Arwen Imladris · 05-30-2002, 02:22 PM

AnnúnwenOfRivendell: I thought I did! Wasn't it Gandalf to Frodo?

Samewise: I thought it was supposed to be something some one said. That quote is from when they were in Lothlorien, Legolas and Frodo and Sam were climbing a tree to talk to the elves and to stay the night on the flet, but if I am not mistaken, no one actually said that.

06-03-2002, 09:21 AM

Oh, I'm sorry Arwen Imladris. I looked back and you had guessed. Oh and you got it right the first time. Sorry about that.

Lindolirian · 06-03-2002, 10:03 PM

Samwise: Its Aragorn to Legolas as they appraoch Lorien.

Samwise · 06-04-2002, 06:51 PM

That's it, Lindolirian .

Quote:

Sam had a natural mistrust of the inhabitants of other parts of the Shire; and also he was not disposed to be quick friends with anyone who had beaten his master, however long ago.

Lindolirian · 06-05-2002, 03:59 PM

Here's the next one then:

Quote:

Three of them! There's something mighty queer about this.

Lómelindi · 06-05-2002, 05:10 PM

Quote:

Three of them! There's something might queer about this.

If I recall correctly, that would be the fox that sees Frodo, Sam, and Pippin resting on the road to Buckland in the first book.

Lindolirian · 06-06-2002, 03:47 PM

correct! and yay for the fox.

Lómelindi · 06-06-2002, 04:37 PM

Yay for the fox, indeed.

Next quote, and I hope I quote it correctly:

Quote:

You do not know your danger.

Samwise · 06-06-2002, 08:39 PM

Um...Strider to the four Hobbits at the Inn at Bree?

Lómelindi · 06-06-2002, 09:14 PM

Not quite…it has to do with hobbits, but it's actually said during a surprisingly light incident.

Lindolirian · 06-07-2002, 12:01 PM

This was in TTT Quotes and it took me forever. ( infact i didn't know it until the correct answer was posted [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] )
But i know it now:
Gandalf to Theoden at Isengard as the latter discusses with Merry the small doings of his forefathers and distant cousins of a remote degree...
