In this thread, the given quote echos another earlier or later one in any/all the books. (NOT identical.) Identify the speaker of the given quote and give us the similar quote(s).

Quote:

There’s another wish come true!

HerenIstarion · 01-17-2002, 04:56 AM

That must be Sam. But where...Cormallen field?

Lostgaeriel · 01-18-2002, 12:57 AM

Yes and no. It is Sam, but not at the Field of Cormallen - although that's the quote it sounds like. So you're two-thirds of the way there. Well, actually you've kind of answered the question as posed. I never asked for the context of first quote. So I'll give it to you.

It was Sam re: the return of Bill the pony to Bree.

It sounds similar to what he said at the Field of Cormallen:

Quote:

And all my wishes have come true!

Ask one. (I've found 5 others while looking up other stuff.) (Make that 6 - I just found another.)

Lostgaeriel · 02-04-2002, 03:02 PM

Ai! Ai! Easier to defeat a Balrog!

I have no idea. The language is very formal. So I'm betting it's not from LOTR - unless it were Théoden, or maybe Gandalf when he's sounding a bit pretentious. Is it from the Sil? I haven't read it yet.

Won't someone else come and play?

This is when Sam, Frodo, Merry, Pippin and Gandalf has returned to the Prancing Pony Inn. Butterbur has just told him that Bill, the pony, had returned and Nob had taken care of him.

(Going back to HI's quote)

Dang! If it weren't for the "I hear thee" bit, I'd say it was Faramir and Denethor talking about meeting Frodo in Ithilien and what he should have done. HI, won't you help us out with this one?

Here's an easier one to keep the thread going while we wait for HerenIstarion to come back and ask us one. (As "starter of the thread", I feel obligated.)

Quote:

How long have I been asleep?

Bruce MacCulloch · 03-21-2002, 05:11 PM

Samwise, upon awaking in Ithilien after the Ring was destroyed.

Lostgaeriel · 03-21-2002, 05:42 PM

So far, so good, Bruce. But, this thread has a peculiar set of rules: You still need to give the similar quote(s). (Not that anyone's been following them! But it's my game. So there! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] )

Someone else said something ALMOST the same. What was that? You may have come across it when looking up the quote I posted - unless you have a photographic memory.

Hullo...
I was just wondering if i can answer or if since he already partcially did if i must wait.

Also a note...
I am (or used to be) as eowyn before the new registry. I couldn't get my old acount to work so here i am. I don't know if anyone remembers me. It was almost a year ago the last time i was quoting here. Praps H-I does...we had some very entertaining boughts of quotes here.
I have more time again now and i wanted to get back into it.

as eowyn a.k.a Avyniea

Lostgaeriel · 03-24-2002, 11:04 AM

Hi Avyniea!

I sent Bruce a private message on the evening of the 22nd to advise him. I know he plays a lot of Quotes and Quizzes, so he may have forgotten to come back and check if he got this one right.

Technically, an incomplete answer is not a correct answer. So go ahead. If Bruce wants to dispute it, I'll deal with that then.

Joy · 03-25-2002, 01:26 AM

As Bruce said, it is Sam at Ithilen, but also Frodo upon waking in Rivendell.

Lostgaeriel · 04-05-2002, 02:41 PM

Hi Joy!

Frodo said, "Where am I, and what is the time?" when he awoke in Rivendell. Similar, but not the one I had in mind. (Note that Merry also said, "What is the time?" - in the Houses of Healing.*)

I was thinking of another quote that is almost identical to Sam's "How long have I been asleep?". Identical except for one word. Do you know that one? *Hint, hint.

Hey! Bruce, Avyniea, and Joy!

Please come back and play. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] I'm still waiting for the other part of the answer. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Lostgaeriel · 04-21-2002, 10:20 PM

OK, enough already. It's been a month since I asked the question and no one has got it. I was looking for the quote that sounds very much like

Quote:

How long have I been asleep?

which was Sam in Ithilien. (tRotK-The Field of Cormallen)
The answer is

Quote:

How long have I been dreaming?

which was Éowyn to Éomer in the Houses of Healing.

Here's a new one. Who said this? And give us another quote (or two) that sound(s) almost the same.

Quote:

Frodo of the Nine Fingers and the Ring of Doom

merlilot · 06-25-2002, 12:22 PM

Finally, one I know!
This one is the minstrel at Cormallen, and Sam says something similar to Frodo when they were discussing tales and heroes and stuff in the Ephel Duath.

Lostgaeriel · 08-01-2002, 08:18 PM

Sorry for that horribly long delay, merlilot.
You are correct of course. (Note: there are actually 2 times that Sam says something similar to Frodo. But one instance is enough to win this game, this time.)

For the novices & newcomers out there who might want to know, here are the exact quotes you were referring to.

The minstrel to all, The Field of Cormallen

Quote:

Lo! lords and knights and men of valour unashamed, kings and princes, and fair people of Gondor, and Riders of Rohan, and ye sons of Elrond, and Dúnedain of the North, and Elf and Dwarf, and greathearts of the Shire, and all free folk of the West, now listen to my lay. for I will sing to you of Frodo of the Nine Fingers and the Ring of Doom.

Sam to Frodo, The Stairs of Cirith Ungol

Quote:

And people will say: "Let’s hear about Frodo and the Ring!" And they'll say: "Yes, that's one of my favourite stories. Frodo was very brave, wasn't he, dad?"

And here is the extra one you missed. Also Sam to Frodo, but at the foot of Mount Doom waiting for the end of all things, The Field of Cormallen

Quote:

'What a tale we have been in, Mr. Frodo, haven't we?' he said. 'I wish I could hear it told! Do you think they'll say: Now comes the story of Nine-fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom?

Your turn to ask one!!! (That means you have to find 2(+) similar quotes. Hah!) [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

Since when does winning imply the punishment of finding new quotes? This one is hard. If someone else wants to give it a whack, go for it.

Lostgaeriel · 08-08-2002, 08:31 PM

Here's a silly one.

Quote:

Oi! Oi! ...

Who said this? And who said something that sounded a little bit similar sometime later?

Lothiriel Silmarien · 08-08-2002, 09:45 PM

Oi Oi...um...was it a hobbit? Sorry, that's all that comes to mind now! I'm tired. But Legolas said something similar- Ai! Ai! A Balrog!! In Moria!!

Lostgaeriel · 08-10-2002, 12:02 AM

Yeah! Lothiriel Silmarien, you more or less got it. Can you name the hobbit who said 'Oi! Oi!'? Or at least where in Middle-earth that was? Or the rest of the expression?

(Hint: It was early in the adventures of our hobbit heroes. Each new enemy or situation held just as much terror as they were capable of enduring. But their tolerances increased as the story went on. Something the film doesn't have time to develop.)

Quote:

Ai! ai! A Balrog! A Balrog is come!

Legolas, The Bridge of Khazad-dûm

[ August 10, 2002: Message edited by: Lostgaeriel ]

Lostgaeriel · 11-10-2002, 10:56 AM

The hobbit in question was Pippin - in the Old Forest.

Quote:

'Oi! Oi!' he cried. 'I am not going to do anything. Just let me pass through, will you!'

Here's a new one. Who said this to whom? And there is a similar quote somewhere else. So who said that and to whom?

Quote:

There is more about you than meets the eye ...

Orual · 11-10-2002, 08:11 PM

Gandalf said it to Frodo in Moria, and apparently he said something very similar to Bilbo, as the entire quote is:

Quote:

"You take after Bilbo," said Gandalf. "There is more about you than meets the eye, as I said of him long ago."

I don't have the Hobbit on hand or I'd try and look up the specific quote. Am I close?

~*~Orual~*~

[ November 10, 2002: Message edited by: Orual ]

Orual · 11-10-2002, 08:14 PM

Found it! Could it be Gandalf telling the Dwarves that "There is a lot more in him than you guess", speaking about Bilbo?

~*~Orual~*~

Lostgaeriel · 11-10-2002, 09:13 PM

Hi Orual!

Yeah, that's more or less the quote from The Hobbit that I was looking for. I had the following quote in mind.

Quote:

'What did I tell you?' said Gandalf laughing. 'Mr. Baggins has more about him than you guess.'

Out of the Frying-Pan Into the Fire

I had overlooked the one you gave - from An Unexpected Party. (It's been a very long time since I've read The Hobbit.)

Your turn to ask a question.

Orual · 11-11-2002, 05:50 PM

::gapes::

I got it right? Really? Wow!!

Now let's see...this one's frightfully easy, but c'est la vie.

Quote:

"Gollum, gollum!"

I'm sure you'll all be able to guess both the original quote and the other one I'm thinking of, so go for it!

~*~Orual~*~

Orual · 11-16-2002, 09:13 PM

No? Really? Maybe it didn't fit the rules. Let's try this one, this is a cool thread and I'd hate to have killed it:

Quote:

You do not know your danger

~*~Orual~*~

PS: The last quote was...original: obviously Gollum. Any of the times he said it would've sufficed. And the soundalike was Pippin with Grishnakh, messing with his mind and suggesting that he or Merry had the Ring. ' "Gollum, gollum!" said Pippin.' From Chapter 3: The Uruk-Hai

Beruthiel · 11-16-2002, 10:29 PM

Was it Aragorn in Bree?? I can't think of a simliar quote at the moment but there's probably one somewhere

hobbitlass · 11-17-2002, 12:27 PM

Gandalf to Gimli when Gandalf returns as "the white".
And Gandalf to Theoden when Merry wants to give herblore at Isengard.

Orual · 11-17-2002, 04:04 PM

Hobbitlass has it! Continue on.

~*~Orual~*~

hobbitlass · 11-17-2002, 08:31 PM

Quote:

Maybe there is no right choice

Beruthiel · 11-20-2002, 04:16 AM

Is that bit when Aragorn is trying to decide whether to follow Sam and Frodo to mordor or to save Merry and Pippin?

hobbitlass · 11-20-2002, 03:38 PM

You have the correct setting. To answer the quote in this game you have to say the person who said the original quote and the person who said something like it.
