Blue Wizard 1: Why can’t we pick our own colors?
Gandalf: No way, no way. Tried it once, doesn’t work. You got four guys all fighting over who’s gonna be the Black Wizard, but they don’t know each other, so nobody wants to back down. No way. I pick. You’re Blue Wizard 1. Be thankful you’re not Yellow Wizard.
Radagast: Yeah, but Brown Wizard is a little too close to Wizard Sh*t.
Saruman: Who cares what your name is?
Blue Wizard 2: Yeah, that’s easy for you to say, you’re the White Wizard. You have a cool-sounding name. Alright look, if it’s no big deal to be Blue Wizard 2, you wanna trade?
Gandalf: Hey! NOBODY’S trading with ANYBODY. This ain’t a goddamn, f@cking Council of Elrond meeting, you know. Now listen up, Blue Wizard 2. There’s two ways you can go on this job: my way or the road to Mordor. Now what’s it gonna be, Blue Wizard 2?
Blue Wizard 2: Jesus Christ, Gandalf, f@cking forget about it. It’s beneath me. I’m Blue Wizard 2. Let’s move on.
Gandalf : I’ll move on when I feel like it… All you guys got the goddamn message?… I’m so goddamn mad, hollering at you guys I can hardly talk. Pssh. Let’s go to work.

Radagast – Gandalf, would you prefer to see troll boogers and rabbit sledding in 48 frames per second or regular?

Philip R. wrote:

It was when the two locked eyes that they realized true love had been right in front of them all along.

Donna wrote:

Gandalf, let me get this straight. You chose a hobbit for your adventure with the dwarves because hobbits are quiet and sneaky. But you let him use a sword that shines bright blue when orcs are near. It kinda defeats the purpose if you see what I mean.

On the next episode of Duck Dynasty, Willie and Si’ have a staring contest to see who gets to be the first to try Miss Kay’s frog leg pie.

The Winner!

With Easter just around the corner, this entry from Tom A. really hit my funny bone:

Gandalf: That whole regenerating thing sounds awfully complicated. I think if I ever die and come back, I’ll probably just change my robe or something.

Congratulations to Tom for winning ‘The Hobbit’ on Blu-ray, and thanks to everyone else for participating. If you didn’t win this one, don’t forget that you still have a chance to win ‘The Borgias: The Complete Second Season’ this week, so get your entries in for that contest soon.

    Mark, you were robbed. The Reservoir Dogs was the best. Great work on the dialogue. Tying in Tolkien references. Tarantino would be proud.
