Not right now, but from memory, something to the effect of ""Not bad! You would have made a decent tale of it if they hadn't kept interrupting you!"

So, um... are you waiting for Willow Matilde Shadow Margaret Note Spelling to come in here and fix you with a threatening glare that is 80% quiet menace and 20% irresistible cuteness?
Because she can totally do that.

Sounds like Aragorn at the Council regarding the Ring? Right after Frodo says "It belongs to you and not to me at all" ?
The dumbest thing I've ever bought
was a 2020 planner.
"Does anyone ever think about Denethor, the guy driven to madness by staying up late into the night alone in the dark staring at a flickering device he believed revealed unvarnished truth about the outside word, but which in fact showed mostly manipulated media created by a hostile power committed to portraying nothing but bad news framed in the worst possible way in order to sap hope, courage, and the will to go on? Seems like he's someone we should think about." - Dave_LF

If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
You tricky person. You used only part of a sentence. Namely the first of part this statement by Frodo to Faramir: "It does not belong to me. It does not belong to any mortal, great or small; though if any could claim it, it would be Aragorn son of Arathorn, whom I named, the leader of our Company from Moria to Rauros."

Long shot, but is that Sam lamenting "Waste of a good apple" after chucking it at Bill Ferny?
