He claims he has a photographic memory and easily recalls eavesdropped conversations. His talent for realistic dialogue comes from that special faculty. One thing to remember -- real life speech is mostly inarticulate. Very few people express themselves verbally as well as they might in writing.

Samwise Gamgee to Gandalf: “I ain’t droppin’ no eaves!”

i love that line.
