There and Back  by Lindelea

Story under construction, pending addition of footnotes.

Following are "first lines" of bodies of quotes either from film or book, as noted. Work is in progress, pending identification of quotes and their sources. (The original story notes are long gone.)

One! Two! Five! Good! Very good.
Gentlemen, we do not stop till nightfall.
Quickly! No, no, the big one!
It reads, 'The doors of Durin - Lord of Moria. Speak, friend, and enter.'
Merry! What?
(Better than rain or rippling brook/ is a mug of beer inside...)
 -- sequences from New Lines Cinema's "Fellowship of the Ring"
 
Hullo, Pippin! So you've come on this little expedition, too?
Halt!
...No hope of escape!
You seem to have been doing well, Master Took.
 -- quotes from "The Uruk-Hai", The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien
 
I think... we might have made a mistake leaving the Shire, Pippin.
The tree, Merry, it's talking!
There won't be any Shire, Pippin
 -- from New Lines Cinema's "The Two Towers"
 
The wind's changing. It's turned east again.
Time was when I could walk and sing all day
-- quotes from "Treebeard", The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien
 
But I should like to know--
-- quotes from "The Palantir", The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien
 
Sleep again, and do not be afraid! In Minas Tirith you will be as safe as you can be anywhere in these days.. If Gondor falls, or the Ring is taken, then the Shire will be no refuge.
You do not comfort me.
-- quotes from "Minas Tirith", The Return of the King by J.R.R. Tolkien
