Is it a book quote or movie quote? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Airehiriel · 03-05-2003, 03:42 PM

I don't think something quite like this has been done yet. If it has, please point me in the right direction.

Here's the game: You try to identify if the given quote is from the FotR and TTT books or movies. Here is a handy link in case you don't have the books or movies memorized:Seat of Kings, but please don't use this to find a given quote. Also, give the name of the character who you are quoting, we're not trying to guess who said it, but where.
If you guess it right, your next!

Here's the starter:
Gollum: I found it, I did. Orc's don't use it, Orcs don't know it. Orcs don't cross the Marshes, they go round for miles and miles. Very lucky you came this way. Very lucky you found Sméagol, yes. Follow Sméagol.

Good luck!

This is from the TTT book.

Airehiriel · 03-05-2003, 04:06 PM

Sure is! Your turn Rochelle.

Hmm..

Quote:

Your fingers would remember their old strength better... if they grasped your sword.

Eressië Ailin · 03-05-2003, 04:27 PM

I know that there's something similar to that in the book, but I'm pretty sure it's in the movie. Either way, it's in TTT.

GaladrieloftheOlden · 03-05-2003, 04:28 PM

I am not sure, as I have not seen the movie or read the book for three weeks now, (that must be corrected!) but wasn't this quote both in the TTT movie and book?
Oh, oops. I just noticed someone already said it. O well.

Arvedui III · 03-05-2003, 04:35 PM

It's the movie. The book quote is (and I'm sorry if I get this wrong but I'm too lazy to go and get my book) "your figers would remember their old strengh better, if they grasped a sword-hilt."

Rochelle · 03-05-2003, 10:50 PM

This quote was in the movie. Arvedui III I think had the most precise answer [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your go!

Airehiriel · 03-07-2003, 08:35 AM

Arvedui III, do you want to take the next turn? If not we can let someone else do the next.

Airerûthiel · 03-08-2003, 03:40 AM

If Arvedui doesn't want the next go, can it be my turn? I have a really good quote...

Airehiriel · 03-10-2003, 11:13 AM

Well, it has been several days since Arvedui posted, so I would say, yes, Airerûthiel you can do the next. Thanks!

Airehiriel · 03-14-2003, 10:55 AM

Airerûthiel, go ahead and post yours.

Airehiriel · 03-26-2003, 02:50 PM

Okay, ANYONE can go next!!

Airehiriel · 04-16-2003, 08:05 AM

Fine, I will start this one up again myself.

Book or movie quote? And to make it a bit more than just answering book or movie...who said it and to whom were they talking to?

Be careful, or hobbits will go down and light little candles of their own.

elven maiden Earwen · 04-16-2003, 02:15 PM

movie
Gollum to Sam and Frodo

Airehiriel · 04-17-2003, 10:02 AM

Excellent, Earwen. You're turn!

elven maiden Earwen · 04-17-2003, 12:38 PM

ok

DayVampyre · 04-17-2003, 02:04 PM

a book quote

Carlas · 04-17-2003, 02:24 PM

I think that was in the book when Aragorn,Legolas, and Gimli were chasing the band of Uruks that had the two young hobbits.

EDIT: Dayvampyre! I used to have that avatar! Its great isn't it?

[ April 17, 2003: Message edited by: Carlas ]

DayVampyre · 04-17-2003, 02:38 PM

Carlas: You can have the turn, since you got more specific than I did.

And I am quite fond of the little piccy, didn't know you used to have it.

elven maiden Earwen · 04-17-2003, 04:46 PM

you are both correct.

DayVampyre · 04-17-2003, 05:21 PM

Yay! Carlas can have it though.

It pays to be specific [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Carlas · 04-17-2003, 06:47 PM

Thanks! OK, here it is!

Quote:

I am not altogether on anybody's side, because nobody is altogether on my side,

Hope its not too easy! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

DayVampyre · 04-17-2003, 06:56 PM

Didn't Mr. Ent-Man have a similar to that in the movie?

I'm going to have to go with my gut though and say "book quote"

Carlas · 04-17-2003, 06:59 PM

OK, Ill give it to you! But just to clarify, it was Treebeard talking to Merry and Pippin in Fangorn Forest!

You're go DayVampyre! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

How long has it been since Saruman bought you? What was the promised price, Grima? When all the men are dead you would take a share of the treasure?

Movie
Eomer to Grima

DayVampyre · 04-18-2003, 11:02 AM

Yep.

Miss Earwen, it be your turn.

Airehiriel · 04-19-2003, 10:58 AM

Wormtongue speaking to Eowyn in the movie?

elven maiden Earwen · 04-19-2003, 11:20 AM

'Tis correct

Airehiriel · 04-21-2003, 08:38 AM

Cool, I will add my quote when I get home this evening.

Airehiriel · 04-21-2003, 12:49 PM

Quote:

But who knows what she spoke to the darkness, alone, in the bitter watches of the night, when all her life seemed shrinking, and the walls of her bower closing in about her, a hutch to trammel some wild thing in.

kittiewhirl1677 · 04-21-2003, 06:07 PM

Grima?
From the book?

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 04-21-2003, 07:34 PM

Umm...was that the TT movie?

Carlas · 04-21-2003, 09:09 PM

There was a quote similar to that in the movie but I think its a book quote.

Airehiriel · 04-22-2003, 06:46 AM

Carlas and kittie are correct as to where it is at, but it was not Grima who said it.

Do YOU know who said it?

Carlas · 04-23-2003, 02:15 PM

Hmmm, I have no idea, but maybe Gandalf or Saruman? OK, so its an idea, give me a break... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Tinuviel87 · 04-23-2003, 03:16 PM

Aragorn said it in RotK I believe
