   The First Edition has the same discrepancy for "that", and Hammond and   
   Scull's _Reader's Companion_ makes no note of it. In fact that line of   
   Frodo's (or those lines, if you prefer) doesn't even rate a mention in   
   _HoME IX_, even though it includes a reference to a plot outline where   
   Frodo was still named "Bingo". I guess _nobody_ wanted to point it out   
   before now.  :)

                talks about Fight Club! Or Frodo's incorrectly quoting   
                previous dialogue."
