More of da quotes
Wow, apparantly not as many people have heard the commentary as I thought! I have assembled here, quotes from Dom and Billy from the *first* half of The Two Towers, which includes my personal favorite conversation regarding the Treebeard puppet.
Dom: You go first, Bill.
Billy: No you.
Dom: Billy, you start speaking first.
Billy: No, you Dom. Go on. Go on.
Dom: Well....
Billy: Who started last time?
Dom: I think you did.
Billy: Well, it’s your turn then, go!
Dom: Weren’t we supposed to be watching “Raider of the Lost Arc?”
Billy: No, that was yesterday.
Dom: Oh...
Dom: Supposedly, Ian McKellen really burnt his nasal hair in this scene.
Billy: Yeah. Luckily he had a prosthetic nose on, the only thing that saved that there.
Dom: Was he wearing prosthetic nasal hair as well?
Dom: This guy was a nightmare to work with, the Balrog. He had a huge trailer, never came out, never bought a round when we went to the bars.
Sam: (in the film) “Can you see the bottom?”
Billy: I can see your bottom.
Dom: It’s great, he’s got so much going on Gollum. Sometimes he looks old, sometimes he looks young, sometimes he looks like a dog, sometimes he looks like a frog, sometimes he looks like a monkey, sometimes he looks like a bus.
Billy: A bus??
Billy: A lot of people think that Pippin threw (the elvin brooch) down to let Aragorn know where they were and that they were still alive, when actually it was just chafing his neck.
Billy: They actually trained two million ants, put them all in Uruk-hai uniform and got them all to march in time. Which, you know, is amazing.
Dom: Because ants have six legs, and agreed to have four of their legs taken out for this movie.
Billy: Which shows a sort of passion and commitment.
Dom: It’s nice that whatever Legolas is going through, he always has fantastic hair.
Billy: It’s important.
Dom: Whether he rubs grass on it, or gives it a little conditioner at the end of the night. Hot oils or something like that.
Dom: They built a 20-foot-high walking, talking, animatronics -- basically a big muppet. So he was there and we could interact with him and there was a performance.
Billy: Which worked out sort of fantastic. And made it much easier to do those scenes. But, very nice of them, they made two of the most uncomfortable chairs ever invented.
Dom: Weren’t we sitting on backward bicycle seats?
Billy: Yeah, at a 45 degree angle.
Dom: Seems WETA has no concept of men having testicles. And by the end of this shoot I had no concept of men having testicles because they went internal.
Billy: Like a Sumo-Wrestler?
Dom: They had to be coaxed out.
Billy: It was amazing, you could actually kick Dom in the groin at tremendous force, in fact I got Sala to do it once, and still, no pain.
Dom: Nothing. I just didn’t feel it.
Billy: I think it’s really important to show Treebeard saying, “it’s not affecting us, so therefore it doesn’t matter.” And I think it’s really important for the hobbits to say.... (crunching noises from Dom) Will you stop eating!? When I’m trying to say something?
Dom: I’m really hungry!
(continued a few minutes later)
Dom: Are you mad at me?
Billy: No, I’m not mad. I’m disappointed with you. I could never stay mad at you.
Dom: (makes obvious chewing noises)
Dom: That’s my mum’s favorite character, Gollum. Even though her son plays Merry.
And of course, piccies. One of Dom. One of Billy, and one with both.

One thing though,
...in fact I got Sally to do it once...
I think it's supposed to be Sala [Baker] one of the guys who played an Uruk Hai.

Thanks for all your work; transcribing's not easy. You rock as solidly as the boys do. :)
