~[Dudley's birthday, talking about presents] How many are they? -Dudley Dursley

(Yes, there are a lot of Harry Potter quotes. So sue me.)

~Frodo: I am Frodo Baggins, and this is Samwise Gamgee.

Faramir: Your bodyguard?

Sam: His gardener.

~Merry: Pippin, I think we made a mistake in leaving the Shire.

~Frodo: I can't do this Sam!

Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding on to Sam?

Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo and it's worth fighting for.

(A little long, I know, and not really a quote. But who cares!?)

~Gimli: It's true you don't see many dwarf women. In fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, that they are mistaken for dwarf men.

Aragorn: It's the beards.

~Aragorn: You have some skill with a blade.

Éowyn: Women of this country learned long ago that those without swords can still die upon them. I fear neither death nor pain.

Aragorn: What do you fear, milady?

Éowyn: A cage. To stay behind bars until use and old age accept them and all chance of valor has gone beyond recall or desire.

Aragorn: You're the daughter of kings. A shield maiden of Rohan. I do not think that will be your fate.

~Treebeard: We have decided...

[Merry and Pippin lean in]

Merry: Yes?

Treebeard: We have decided that you are not orcs.

Pippin: Well that's good.

~Treebeard: War... yes it affects us all.

~Wormtongue: Ah, but you are alone. Who knows what you have spoken to the darkness, alone, in the bitter watches of the night, when all your life seems to shrink, the walls of your bower closing in about you, a hutch to trammel some wild thing in? So fair, yet so cold like a morning of pale Spring still clinging to Winter.

~Jack Sparrow: A wedding? I love weddings! Drinks all around!

~Sheldon: I'm H2O intolerant. [sneezes]
~Dory: I shall call him Squishy, and he shall be mine, and he shall be my Squishy.
~Bubbles: Bubbles! Bubbles! My bubbles!
~Jack Sparrow: Why is the rum gone?! Elizabeth Swann: Yes, I burned it. Those smoke signals are over one thousand feet high! There are navy ships all over this sea looking for me and you believe they won't see that? Jack Sparrow: No, but...why is all the rum gone?
~Jack Sparrow: I can't sail into Tortuga all by me onesies, savvy?
~Will Turner: Where is Elizabeth? Jack Sparrow: She's safe, just like I promised. And she's set to marry Norrington, just like she promised. And you get to die for her, just like you promised. So we're all men of our word, really. Except for Elizabeth, who is, in fact, a woman.
~Jack Sparrow: Not all treasure is gold and silver.

The Other Chad: You know, each state gets to be represented by a 25-cent coin with a little depiction of a historical scene or noteworthy feature of their particular state. North Carolina has a little Wright Brother’s airplane from Kitty Hawk, Tennessee has guitars to celebrate the music of Nashville and Memphis and Florida has a space shuttle to commemorate memorable explosions that they have hosted.
