- Sterkist says, "This food is delicious, Gírta."

- Grimbeorn says, "<name>, you have been quite the helpful to many in the North."
- Grimbeorn says, "What say you Gandalf and Legolas, of <name>?"
- Gandalf says, "My tales with <name> are numerous. Many I am not sure you would believe!"

- Gandalf says, "Oh very well, twist the old man's arm...."
- Gandalf says, "On the march to the Black Gate of Mordor, I worried the Enemy at Minas Morgul would attack the Host from the rear."

- Sterkist says, "Pass the taters please."
- Grimbeorn says, "Eat, eat! I will ask for no more tales to be told at this feast."
- Grimbeorn says, "Now, both Elves and Eagles work with us to protect our home."
- Grimbeorn says, "Gandalf, Legolas, <name>, you are all to thank for making the Beorning-lands safer."
