Probably not the best ever, but I love: “friend”… from “So tell me… friend. When did Saruman the wise abandon reason for madness.” McKellen’s ashen delivery is sooo perfect. and… “Scroop” from “What shall I say to thee, Lord Scroop? thou cruel, Ingrateful, savage and inhuman creature!” in Henry V. Filled with hate, pain, and betrayal by Kenneth Brannagh. Also, I just like saying it. ScroopScroopScroopScroopScroop. \What on earth is wrong with you!?!\ ---
