In the "couldn't resist" department:
[From Peter Jackson's first script for _FOTR_, written in a
burst of inspiration the day after watching _Blade Runner_]
[SCENE: Outside the Prancing Pony. It's raining.]
ARAGORN: [voiceover] Estel. That's what my mother called me.
Faint hope.
[Aragorn enters the Prancing Pony]
GLORFINDEL: Ai na vedui Dunadan.
ARAGORN: What'd he say?
BUTTERBUR: He say you under arrest, Mr. Dunadan.
ARAGORN: Got the wrong guy, pal.
GLORFINDEL: U-chebin Estel anim. Elrond o Imladris.
ARAGORN: Elrond, huh? [He gives a crooked smile]
[They get onto Asfaloth and ride east]
ARAGORN: [voiceover] The charmer's name was Glorf. I'd
seen him around. Elrond must have upped him to the White
Council. That gibberish he talked was Sindarin. I knew
the lingo, every good Ranger did. But I wasn't going to
make it easier for him.
[They enter Rivendell]
ELROND: Hiya Gorn. You wouldn't have come if I just asked
you to. Sit down pal.
[Aragorn refuses to sit down]
ELROND: C'mon, don't be a hobbit-hole, Aragorn, I got
nine ring jobs riding the roads.
[Aragorn sits down]
ARAGORN: [voiceover] Ring jobs. That's what Elrond called
Nazgul. In history books he's the kind of Elf that
used to call the Atani "latecomers".
ELROND: They helped Sauron get back into Mordor, they
re-embodied as fearsome horsemen, and now they're
hunting for the One.
ARAGORN: Embarrassing.
ELROND: No sir. Not embarrassing, because they're not
going to get it. Because you're going to find them
and you're going to bitch-slap them.
ARAGORN: I don't want to be King anymore. Give it to
Gandalf, he's good.
ELROND: I did. He's trapped at the top of Isengard.
I need you, Gorn. This is a bad one, the worst
yet. I need the old Dunadan. I need your magic.
ARAGORN: I was quit when I came in here, Elrond. I'm twice
as quit now. [Gets up to leave]
ELROND: Stop right where you are. You know the score pal.
If you're not the King, you're not gonna get Undomiel.
ARAGORN: No choice, huh?
ELROND: No choice, pal.

Thanks. :-) No, I think that's about all I can sustain on that
angle. I was aided by a _Blade Runner_ script that I got online
somewhere, and I do know both works pretty well. :-)
