#2 All that is gold does not glitter
Not all those who wander are lost
The old who are strong do not whither
Deep roots are not reached by the frost
From the ashes a fire shall be woken
A light from the shadow will spring
Renewed be the blade that was broken
The crownless again shall be king.

#3 Considering the heroic role of the Persian women in all this, the scene Jacket ought to worry about is:

Witch King: [taking Eowyn by the throat] You fool. No man can kill me. Die now.
[Eowyn rises and pulls off her helm, her hair falls down over her shoulder]
Eowyn: I am no man.
[she thrusts her sword into the Witch King's helm and twists; he shrieks and implodes]

#5 One of the best parts Matt. But you forgot that Merry stabbed him behind the knee.

Might get them thinking about stabbing others behind the knee.
