I'm sure this has been done before... but I've not done anything like this in a while, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

The idea is like the lyrics game... give a quote, whoever knows teh BOOK character that said it... provides the next quote.

Some lines did in fact get moved to different characters in the movies, so since it's MY thread... we'll be going with the BOOK :P

Until we get bored, lets avoid books like The Adventures of Tom Bombadil... and stick to The Hobbit, LOTR, and The Sil... because... well... I say so!

So I guess I'll start...

"I hope, if I do go to sleep in this bed-loft, that I shan't roll off"

Okay, that's one of the hobbits, up in the flet in Lothlorien...

Sam? That sounds like something he would say. But I'm at work, so I can't look it up to check myself.

If I'm right, then: "He should not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall." If I'm wrong, ignore me. :P

If it wasn't Merry and wasn't Sam, it was Pippin, which would have been my guess from the beginning, believe it or not. It just didn't sound like Sam, and Merry was rarely that dumb. ;)

By that time River and Ara had already posted and I was wating to see the outcome of their guesses. ;)


Well, this is one of my favorite quotes from the whole book...my favorite humorous one, anyhow. ;)


"Being please with his skill, he then sat down and quietly ate some waybread! That at least is enough to show that he was a hobbit, without the mallorn-leaf."

I do believe that is Aragorn, outside of Fangorn.

I'll take a guess and say that's Merry, about Theoden.
