The movie is missing one of my favorite exchanges. It's where Sam says (from memory), "This Strider, 'e says be more careful. I say let's start with 'im!" Then Frodo says that he thinks that an agent of the Enemy would "seem fair but feel foul," whereupon Strider laughs grimly and says, "whereas I seem foul and feel fair, is that it?"

I also like where Strider (in the book) says about the Wraiths, "They are terrible!" — and looks like he's remembering the time someone pulled his spine out and beat him with it.

But the movie catches that feeling pretty darned nicely with Strider's, "Are you frightened?"
Frodo: "Yes."
Strider: "Not nearly frightened enough. I know what is hunting you."

GAH! - That was a vivid picture Dan!

Agreed... that is a fun dialogue... and true... many times the real evil looks fair and feels foul.
