Book IV, Chapter 6: Give Frodo A
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
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
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."
