Daily Dialogue — January 22, 2017

“Yes! My Precious!”

— The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003), screenplay by Fran Walsh & Philippa Boyens & Peter Jackson, novel by J.R.R. Tolkien

The Daily Dialogue theme for next week: Greed, suggested by Jenny McNabb.

Trivia: Gollum says the word “precious” seventeen times in this film.

Dialogue On Dialogue: We normally associate the object of greed to be money. Not so with Gollum whose sole obsession was with regaining his “Precious”. Ironic that he played the final role in the destruction of Mordor.
