Gandalf to Pippin?

Lostgaeriel · 11-13-2002, 05:54 PM

No, no and ooh - not quite right, Aramacil!

Precioussss · 11-14-2002, 03:51 PM

Gandalf to Merry?

InklingElf · 11-14-2002, 06:07 PM

does it have to do w/ hobbits only?

Lostgaeriel · 11-14-2002, 06:23 PM

It has little to do with hobbits at all.

Gandalf to Theoden?

Lostgaeriel · 11-15-2002, 09:46 PM

Aramacil, Precioussss and TolkienGurl are all close, but no cigar. It is indeed Gandalf but to whom was he speaking? And where/when? No more guessing. Show some conviction. (Look it up! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] )

Sorry! I didn't have my book with me, and I was really eager to post and see if I was right. I think I like this game too much... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

TolkienGurl · 11-16-2002, 11:01 AM

Gandalf to Denethor in Minas Tirith in the presence of Faramir and Pippin. here is the whole quote:

to Faramir (The 'thing' and 'it' is the Ring):

Quote:

'Stir not the bitterness in the cup that I mixed for myself,' said Denethor. 'Have I not tasted it now many nights upon my tongue, foreboding that worse yet lay in the dregs? As now indeed I find. Would it were not so! Would that this thing had come to me!'

'Comfort yourself!' said Gandalf. 'In no case would Boromir had brought it to you. He is dead, and died well; may he sleep in peace! Yet you deceive yourself. He would have stretched out his hand to this thing, and taking it he would have fallen. He would have kept it for his own, and when he returned you would not have known your son.'

Is that enough conviction for you? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Here is the next quote:

Quote:

'We must take it and chance our luck...'

Who/Where/to Whom/What is it?

Damn I was just about to post the aswer, but TolkienGurl beat me to it.
[img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
I guess I should go look for her quote then.

TolkienGurl · 11-16-2002, 11:15 AM

Umm... I kinda posted mine before... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Sorry!

Aramacil · 11-17-2002, 06:45 AM

Yep, I finally got it

Quote:

"Then we must take the road, Mr Frodo," said Sam."We must take it and chance our luck, if there is any luck in Mordor."

Who?
Sam
Where?
Near the old castle of Durthang in Mordor
To whom?
To Frodo
What is it?
“it” is the road that comes down from the orc-tower

New quote:

Quote:

Well, I'm back

Who/where?

This shouldn’t be so hard.

gralin musicteeth · 11-17-2002, 06:54 AM

Sammy!!! In Bag End to Rose and Elanor.The very last line of the book, I believe.

[ November 17, 2002: Message edited by: gralin musicteeth ]

Aramacil · 11-17-2002, 07:03 AM

Yes, I thought it would be a funny quote because it's the last line of the book, but it was to easy.
But please give us a new quote gralin.

Lostgaeriel · 11-18-2002, 07:26 PM

I must say that some of you are the hastiest quotes players I've ever seen. It's customary to post your answer and wait for the questioner to acknowledge that you are correct before you post a new question.

Of course, TolienGurl was correct and documented her answer, so you all knew she was correct. Giving context is always a good idea. It helps us all learn.

Have fun. And relax. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Legolas · 11-19-2002, 10:33 PM

Merry, Hornburg, the Dúnedain, to Gimli, Legolas, et. al

Eomer to Aragorn

Legolas · 11-21-2002, 06:53 PM

Nope.

WarBringer · 11-21-2002, 07:02 PM

Gandalf to Denethor

Legolas · 11-21-2002, 10:36 PM

Nope.

Beruthiel · 11-22-2002, 05:13 PM

Was it Gandalf to Aragorn?

Orual · 11-22-2002, 08:50 PM

It sounds like something Gandalf said to Theoden to me...

[ November 22, 2002: Message edited by: Orual ]

Legolas · 11-23-2002, 12:58 AM

No.

Beruthiel · 11-23-2002, 01:15 AM

Ok then was it Legolas to Gimli ( I'm just guessing now)

Joy · 11-23-2002, 01:33 AM

It is Frodo to Sam in the Tower of Cirith Ungol concerning the Orcs taking everything. Frodo told Sam that he still had his lembas but the food Faramir gave had been taken.

Legolas · 11-24-2002, 12:21 PM

Yes, Joy.
