(GLORFINDEL): "Greetings, you've reached Glorfindel of Rivendell. I'm probably home, out of work, and sitting in my forest-view room throwing darts at a blown-up photo of 'Arwen' at the Ford. If this is Peter Jackson, I'm more than willing to show up with the other elves at Helms Deep. The Pelannor? The Grey Havens, at least?! If this is Arwen, get your big feet out of the Bruinan and give me back my horse!"
(SAURON): "Yeah, this is Sauron, famous Maiar gone bad. I cannot take your call right now as I'm very busy plotting the downfall of Middle Earth. State your business at the sound of the scream, or press 9 to reach the Nazgul . If this is 'the Mouth', don't forget to bring me a very large bottle of Visine upon your return."
(CELEBORN): "This is Celeborn of Lothlorien. I cannot take your call right now but ... er ..Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ..."
(BILL): "Neigh! You've reached Bill the Pony's Transportation services. Let's cut to the chase. I don't do mountains, swamps, rivers, blasted landscapes, orc-invested lands, mines ... and most especially entrances TO mines. Phobias include abandonment in treacherous places and really big octopus-like creatures that live in murky lakes. I'm loyal, reliable, and incredibly good-natured considering some traumatic moments in my life ... but if you're looking for lightening speed and pretty-boy looks, you've neighed up the wrong Equus caballus. Contact Shadowfax at TooSwiftTooBeBelieved Inc.. If you have dwarf in tow, ask for Arod. Otherwise, leave a message, and I might consider giving you a whinney back."
(HALDIR): "You've reached Haldir of Lorien. I'm probably too high and mighty to talk to the likes of you, but there's always a chance. If this is my plastic surgeon, Friday is looking suitable. If this is a dwarf, consider yourself snubbed. Leave a pleasing message at the sound of the word arrogant, including all the pertinant details ... and then I'll have to make a decision, won't I?"
(TREEBEARD): "Hroom! You've reached Treebeard of Fangorn Forest. Please leave a message, but don't be hasty. Speak slowly. Very slowly. Think about what you want to say very carefully. Don't rush. Spell your name, speaking each letter succinctly. I promise to return your call, however, I cannot say when. Hroom! Must not be hasty. Once I carefully think through what my reply should be, I will call you back, saying each word slowly, very slowly ..... BEEP ............
(GIMLI): "You've reached Gimli the dwarf. Due to a hasty, likely regrettable promise, I'm busy packing, as tomorrow I leave to go trapsing through Fangorn forest with Legolas. If I do not return, I leave my axe collection to my friends at Aglarond, and my most prized possession - Galadriel's lock of hair - is to be given it's own shrine there. If this is Treebeard, PLEASE stop with the prank calls. If I hear one more chant of "the eyes, the eyes, beware of the eyes!", and Quickbeam snickering in the background - I'm NOT GOING!"
(Smaug): "My armour is like tenfold shields, my teeth are swords, my claws spears, the shock of my tail a thunderbolt, my wings a hurricane, and my breath death! But if you are looking for a good time and fancy a smokin' night out with a full-blooded dragon, please leave your name, species and number after the beep, and let's get jiggy, hot mama! ...BEEEEEEEP
(Butterbur): "er...is it going?... er... Hello, you've reached The er... er... oh yes, The Prancing Pony! I'm sorry but we are too busy serving ale of surpassing excellence to answer the phone right now. If you would like to leave a message for Nob, or me, er... background shout of "Oi Butterbur, Pint!" Oh yes, that's right Barliman Butterbur, please speak after the er... thingy...now then... how do I stop this thi...BEEEEEEP
(Theoden): "Hello, this is Theoden. I can't answer the phone because I'm overseeing the defenses of Helm's Deep. If this is Eomer, where the heck are you?! Come help your uncle and your sister out of a jam. If this is Gandalf the what-color-now? Where the heck are you?! Oh, well, take good care of Shadowfax. If this is Aragorn, sorry, we thought you died falling over that cliff. If this is Grima about your gameboy, nyah, nyah, finders keepers. If this is one of those stinkin' Elves *soldier in background shouts "The Elves! They're here!"* ahem, Honorable Elf, leave your words of Wisdom at the sound of the great horn of Helm!" ...HWWWOOOOOOHH!
(Gollum): "Who is calling uss, Preciouss? We are not here. We are showing nice Master the way into Mordor. Gollum! False, tricksy Bagginss! We ought to wring his neck! *gasp* No, Master is nice to Smeagol. Leave your message... Gollum! You don't have any friends. No one will leave you sstupid message! *whimper* Go away! I hate you!" ...BEEEEEEP
(Tom Bombadil):
Hullo, Hoo-hillo! You have reached Bombadillo.
I'm out with Goldberry, having times oh so merry!
If you're a Hobbit who needs help, sing my song and don't yelp.
If you're Gandalf the Grey, come visit some day.
Goldberry wishes to see you again,
And I could use the bottle you owe me, my friend!
If this is a Wraith in search of The Ring,
All I can say is you-ringed-a-wrong-ding!
...BEEEEEP
