Least Favourite Quote
thought i'd make one for these crappy lines:
do u remember the taste of strawberries and cream Mr. Frodo? every time the phrase Mr. Frodo is used. (low, trying to sound cool and mysterious voice) the Ring is mine! (frodo, cracks of doom) give some more. . .

I think the lame strawberries quote is one of my least favouite, as well. Also, when Saruman melodramatically exclaims, to Gandalf in their fight in Orthanc, "You have chosen - the way of - PAIN!!" Oh, my god, WHAT?!

How bout:
"Go home Sam!" -Frodo on the stairs of Cirith Ungol "Prepare to leave. The Ring will go to Gondor." -Faramir in Henneth Annun "Why should we ride to the aid of those who did not come to ours, what do we owe Gondor?" -Theoden That last line just seems like it was added in for no reason because all of the other characters just ignore him. I'm sure if he had actually said that Gandalf would've convinced him to ride to Gondor and not just leave expecting he will come. Instead he ignores him and starts talking to Aragorn

Good point, Manrevu. It does seem superfluous.
How about Gimli's "I canna jump the distance; you're gonna hafta toss meh!" Dwarf-tossing was already tongue-in-cheeked in FotR, while they were getting away from Balrog in the crumbling Mines of Moria - did they HAVE to revive that silliness?

Am I aloud to say: That really long line... uh, the one that goes from "I feel it in the water," to "Well, I'm back." ?? Actually, I liked the 'Well, I'm back' line, so, exclude that one.
All right, highlights? "A diversion." Worst. Absolutely. "I will hold your oaths fulfilled, ect. What say you?!" "I think at last we understand one another, Frodo Baggins."

Saruman, as Gandalf is being twirled midair up to the roof of Orthanc "...you have chosen - the way of - PAIN!!" Oh, brother. Give it a rest, Saruman.

re: "A diversion."
I know, I hate that one too; it always makes me grit my teeth in annoyance (always...yeah, I watch these DVDs at least once a week, I'm such a dork)

The "a diversion" was also in the top of my list of worst quotes, along with anything said or done durring the drinking game part of the extended version of Return of the King!
