• Aragorn : Gentlemen, we do not stop 'til nightfall.

  Pippin : What about breakfast?

  Aragorn : You've already had it.

  Pippin : We've had one, yes. What about second breakfast?

  [Aragorn turns and walks away] 

  Merry : I don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pip.

  Pippin : What about elevenses? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn't he?

  Merry : I wouldn't count on it.

• Legolas : Lembas!

  [nibbles a corner] 

  Legolas : One small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man!

  Merry : [to Pippin]  How many did you eat?

  Pippin : Four.

  [burps] 

• Pippin : [to Elrond]  Anyways, you need people of intelligence on this sort of... mission... quest... thing.

  Merry : Well, that rules you out, Pip.

• Pippin : Are we lost?

  Merry : No.

  Pippin : I think we are.

  Merry : Shh. Gandalf's thinkin'.

  Pippin : Merry?

  Merry : What?

  Pippin : I'm hungry.

• Legolas : A lament for Gandalf...

  [heard in the background] 

  Merry : What do they say about him?

  Legolas : I have not the heart to tell you. For me the grief is still too near.

• [Gandalf touches the stone surface of the walls of Moria] 

  Gandalf : Now, let's see... Ithildin. It mirrors only starlight and moonlight.

  [moonlight shines on the wall, and the doors are revealed] 

  Gandalf : It reads: The doors of Durin, Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter.

  Merry : What d'you suppose that means?

  Gandalf : Oh, it's quite simple. If you are a friend, you speak the password, and the doors will open.

• Gandalf : [pointing to a tunnel]  There!

  Merry : He remembered!

  Gandalf : No, but the air doesn't smell so foul here. If in doubt, Meriadoc, always follow your nose.

• Merry : That black rider was looking for something. Or someone. Frodo?

• [Merry appears with a large jug of ale] 

  Pippin : What's that?

  Merry : This, my friend, is a pint.

  Pippin : It comes in pints?

  Merry : [confirms while drinking] 

  Pippin : I'm getting one.

• Sam : Trust a Brandybuck and a Took.

  Merry : What? That was just a detour, a shortcut.

  Sam : Shortcut to what?

  Pippin : Mushrooms!

• [Merry and Pippin are leading the Uruks away from Frodo] 

  Pippin : It's working!

  Merry : I know it's working! Run!

• [after falling down a hill] 

  Merry : I think I've broken something.

  [pulls out a broken carrot] 

• Frodo : We must leave the Shire. Sam and I must get to Bree.

  Merry : Right... Buckleberry Ferry! Follow me!

• [Aragorn and Hobbits are being harassed by marsh insects] 

  Merry : What do they eat when they can't get Hobbit?

• Sam : [starts to panic]  Mister Frodo? Frodo! Frodo!

  [Frodo emerges from the bend in the path, looking puzzled] 

  Sam : I thought I'd lost you.

  Frodo : What are you talking about?

  Sam : It's just something Gandalf said.

  Frodo : What did he say?

  Sam : 'Don't you lose him Samwise Gamgee!' And I don't mean to.

  Frodo : [amused]  Sam, we're still in the Shire. What could possibly happen?

  [Suddenly, Pippin bursts from the cornfield and knocks over Frodo. Merry, close behind, barrels out, knocking over Sam. Both have an armful of vegetables] 

  Pippin : Frodo? Merry! It's Frodo Baggins.

  Merry : Hello Frodo!

  Sam : Get off him!

  [hauls Pippin off Frodo] 

  Sam : Frodo? Are you all right?

  Pippin : What's the meaning of this?

  Merry : Hold this.

  [hands vegetables to Sam] 

  Sam : You've been into Farmer Maggot's crop!

  [They hear a dog barking and an angry, yelling voice. Pippin grabs Frodo and runs, followed by Merry. Sam does a double take on the produce in his hands, drops them and runs after the others] 

  Farmer Maggot : [brandishing a scythe]  OI! Maggots! You get back here! Wait till I get on this to you! GET OUT OF MY FIELD! You'll know the devil if I catch up with you!

  Merry : 'Dunno why he is so upset. It's only a couple of carrots!

  Pippin : And some cabbages. And those few bags of potatoes that we lifted last week and, and the mushrooms the week before!

  Merry : Yes Pippin! My point is, he is clearly overreactin'. Run!

  [Pippin, Frodo and Merry stops just before the edge of the hill. Sam slams into them from behind and all four hobbits roll down the hill] 

  Pippin : Ooh! That was close

  Merry : Ow! I think I've broken something.

  [pulls out a broken carrot] 

• Peregrin "Pippin" Took : What's that?

  Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck : This, my friend, is a pint.

  Peregrin "Pippin" Took : It comes in pints?

  Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck : Mmm!

  Peregrin "Pippin" Took : I'm getting one.

  Samwise "Sam" Gamgee : You've got a whole half already!
