Pippin: [of Treebeard] Don't talk to it, Merry. Don't encourage it.
I like wearing my wedding ring, it's nice.
God comes to see without ringing the bell.
Some guys can do more talking in the ring, other guys do posing, body building, whatever the hell they do in the ring. But I don't have the big body, and I'm not the big smooth talker, but I can get in the ring and wrestle.
Sam: [reading the book's title] There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Tale by Bilbo Baggins, and The Lord of the Rings by Frodo Baggins. You finished it. Frodo: Not quite. There's room for a little more.
[Aragorn tosses Sam over a gap, and then sets his eyes on Gimli] Gimli: Nobody tosses a Dwarf. [Gimli leaps, but is balancing off the edge, so Legolas grabs his beard] Gimli: Not the beard!
Gandalf: My dear Frodo. Hobbits really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month, and yet after a hundred years they can still surprise you.
Bilbo: [to his party guests] 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.
Saruman: We must join with Him, Gandalf. We must join with Sauron. It would be wise, my friend. Gandalf: Tell me, "friend", when did Saruman the Wise abandon reason for madness?
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.
Saruman: [voiceover] Moria... You fear to go into those mines. The Dwarves delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness of Khazad-dum... shadow and flame.
[Sam jumps from his hiding place] Sam: Hey. Mr. Frodo's not going anywhere without me. Elrond: No, indeed. It is hardly possible to separate you, even when he is summoned to a secret council and you are not.
[Merry appears with a large jug of ale] Pippin: What's that? Merry: This, my friend, is a pint. Pippin: It comes in pints? Merry: [confirms while drinking] Pippin: I'm getting one.
Galadriel: [to Frodo] I give you the light of Eärendil, our most beloved star. May it be a light for you in dark places, when all other lights go out.
[the Hobbits mourn the loss of Gandalf] Aragorn: Legolas, get them up! Boromir: Give them a moment for pity's sake! Aragorn: By nightfall these hills will be swarming with orcs!... We must reach the woods of Lothlórien.
Saruman: [to the Uruk-hai hunting party] Hunt them down. Do not stop until they are found. You do not know pain, you do not know fear. You will taste man-flesh!
Faramir: [to Frodo] So this is the answer to all the riddles: here in the wild I have you, two Halflings and a host of men at my call, and the Ring of Power within my grasp.
hope for the best, prepare for the worst
'Lord of the Rings' was about saving the world, big time, big duties.
Gandalf: Fool of a Took!
Aragorn: Behold! The sword of Elendil!
