Movie quotes

  • (..) Rain may fall and wind may blow But there still be Many miles to go Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain And the stream that falls From hill to plain Better than rain or rippling brook Is a mug of beer inside this Took There's been some strange folk crossing the Shire. War is brewing. (..)
