- 'My guess is that our clever waterman set them on us. We have evaded his tricks thus far. May our fortune hold!'
- Legolas: 'Our journey leads us from danger into greater danger! To have lost Gandalf, to be pursued by Orcs from behind and to paddle into them ahead… what awaits us further down the river?
- 'And Gollum is still behind us. If he were not so cunning, perhaps I could catch him with an arrow, but it seems he has learned something about staying alive.'
- Gimli: 'It was a good shot, Legolas, I will give you that. But up close? Nothing can best an axe in the hand of one of Durin's Folk. If that winged shadow had just come a hair lower I would have proven it, and you would have saved an arrow!
