Who said - "If you want him, come and claim him"?

King Henry VIII
Act 3, Scene 2
SURREY:I had rather want those than my head. Have at you!

The Tempest
Act 3, Scene 3
ANTONIO:And what does else want credit, come to me,

Answer 2

Yet another way directors change the movie so that it is different from the book. I hate when they do that.

You can find it in the Fellowship chapter 12 Flight To The Ford. I hope this helps
