Scenes that should not be left out of the Two Towers

It would suck if this aspect of Gimli's character was deleted altogether, because I think it's a really interesting part of him.

So far, in the movie, he seems like a gruff, semi-awkward guy with a weird accent - way different than how I pictured him from the book!

Agreed! He's probably the strongest personality from the whole FOTR (or maybe Sam), and I think the one which was least well portrayed in the film (largely due to his lines, rather than the performance; I'm sure he'll have more to do in TTT).

(Of course, the accent makes sense, because as Sam said, "That Dwarf language must be a real jaw cracker!")

I think John Rhys Davis was trying to give him a Scottish-type accent, but being Scottish myself, he wasn't fooling me (though maybe it sounded fine to others). Pippin at least had a genuine accent.
