I'm afraid I was always a bit meh about the Elves. "The Choices of Master Samwise", on the other hand, when he sees that vision of Mordor restored, transformed into the perfect garden with himself as healer of that benighted land--it's a good part.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

LotR - The Return of the King: "We named the *dog* 'Strider'".
Frodo: Please, what does it always mean, this... this "Aragorn"? Elrond: That's his name. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. Aragorn: I like "Strider." Elrond: We named the *dog* "Strider".
A discussion of Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King. If you're a pervy hobbit fancier, this is the place for you.

Sam's my hero. (And Sean's so CYUOOOOOOT.)
How does he avoid temptation by the Ring? By having good old-fashioned English humility (or self-deprecation, take your pick). Everyone else struggles, which suggests they, in their heart-of-hearts, DO believe they're worthy of having the damned thing.
(BTW: I love the fact that PJ gave the Ring a personality. It grumbles, and makes itself known, and has a presence in the scenes it's in. It's not just jewelry - it's a fiend in circular form.)

The confrontation between Saruman and Gandalf - "A white page can be overwritten, white cloth can be dyed, and a white light can be broken."
I loved the line right before that--"I liked white better." So simple it's amusing, yet so true to Gandalf's character.

I drove into work behind a LotR fan today. How did I know this, you ask? Well, the license plate reading "ARAGORN" and the plate holder saying "There and Back Again" tipped me off.
I'm still thinking about changing my plates to "FLYUFLZ".
