- Mithrandir says, "The Prince of Dol Amroth and the Lords of Gondor have gathered in the tower above. Come, we must meet them before the battle is joined!"
- Mithrandir: 'The Dark Lord commands the full weight of his armies to march against Minas Tirith hoping to break any defence that yet remains and deal a mortal blow to the defences of Men. A loss this day spells only doom for every living creature in Middle-earth. We cannot fail - we must not.'

- Mithrandir says, "If they cannot master the wall, they will make for the Great Gate."
- Imrahil, Prince of Dol Amroth says, "No weapon or beast can penetrate the gate, Mithrandir. It would be the Enemy's greatest folly to send his orcs against it."
