Book IV, Chapter 6: Give Frodo A

Faramir: "So, the odd looking creature down there - kill it, yay or nay?"

Frodo: "No!"

Gollum: "Fissh!"

Frodo: "Nice Sméagol, come here or I'll curse you..."

Gollum: "Coming!"

* * *

(Faramir gives Frodo FREE reign through Gondor for a year and TELLS him not to TRUST Gollum.)

Faramir: "You must not go to Cirith Ungol."

Frodo: "Why not?"

(Faramir is UNABLE to give Frodo a STRAIGHT ANSWER and SAYS that Gollum is EVIL.)

Frodo: "Whatever."

Faramir: "Have some food before you leave. If you survive this little escapade then we'll have a chat about it then. Bye!"

Book III, Chapter 6: And Galdalf Sings

Rider of Rohan: "By the way, we've become very xenophobic recently - hey, are those our horses?"

Aragorn: "Yup."

* * *

(Later, the DOORMAN (Háma) wants to take their WEAPONS; Aragorn doesn't want to give up his SWORD and Gandalf wants to keep his STAFF. Finally, Aragorn gives in and Háma takes the OPPORTUNITY to share a PROVERB. Gandalf gets to keep his STAFF. Théoden doesn't look too HOT [don't ask].)

Gandalf: "I'm back!"

Théoden: "Do I look happy to see you?"

(Wormtongue says that Théoden’s son is DEAD and that Éomer can't be TRUSTED. He and Gandalf take the OPPORTUNITY to swap PROVERBS and Gandalf SINGS.)

Gandalf: "You gonna listen to me now?"

Théoden: "Sure."

(Éowyn arrives, SAYS and DOES nothing and is QUICKLY sent away again by Gandalf. Éomer is RELEASED from prison, Théoden is FILLED IN in on recent EVENTS and LEARNS that Wormtongue is a TRAITOR. Éowyn is SMITTEN with Aragorn and Théoden can't THINK of anyone to RULE Rohan for a bit until Háma remembers and suggests Éowyn. Everyone else RIDES out towards Isengard.)

Book I, Chapter 10: Sleep In My Room

Strider: "I've got information."

Frodo: "What information?"

(Strider DECLINES to give Frodo a STRAIGHT ANSWER, but RAMBLES on until it becomes apparent that he has no USEFUL information.)

* * *


Butterbur: "Here's a letter from Gandalf that I forgot to post."

(The LETTER tells Frodo to TRUST Strider.)

Strider: "So, you gonna let me come along?"

Frodo: "Whatever."

* * *


Merry: "I followed a Black Rider, then I fainted."

Strider: "Idiot. You'd all better sleep in my room."
