Movie Quote of the Day (‘The Two Towers,’ With a Line Made for Use Tomorrow Night)

Gandalf [played by Ian McKellen] [to Grima Wormtongue]: “Be silent. Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I did not pass through fire and death to bandy crooked words with a witless worm.”—The Two Towers [Part Two of The Lord of the Rings] (2002), screenplay by Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, Stephen Sinclair, and Peter Jackson, adapted from the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien, directed by Peter Jackson 

This, folks, is an insult worthy of Shakespeare—eminently worthy of being unleased at a shameless name-caller in debate.
