- Mithrandir says, "What is this? What has happened here?"

- Mithrandir says, "Come, we must rescue Faramir, and put and end to this needless bloodshed!"
- Peregrin Took says, "I hope we are not too late to save Faramir, but what has become of Beregond?"
- 'Heed my words - slay me this traitor! Need I shame you and do it myself?'
- Mithrandir says, "Stop this! All of you!"
- Mithrandir says, "Stop this madness!"
- Mithrandir says, "Why have you come here, my lord?"
- Mithrandir says, "The House of Stewards is no place for one that yet lives!"
- Mithrandir says, "Why does brother fight brother here among the tombs while the war floods the fields beyond the Gate?"
- Denethor says, "When has the Lord of Gondor answered to you, Mithrandir? Do I not command my own men?"
- Mithrandir says, "You do, but there are those that might dispute your will - maddened and cruel as it has become."
- Mithrandir says, "And what of Faramir's fate?"
- Denethor says, "Speak not of my boy, Mithrandir! He is dead! Dead!"
- Peregrin Took says, "Faramir lives - he is pained and burns with a fever, but he breathes yet!"

- Denethor says, "All shall burn, Mithrandir. The West, too, shall burn to ash!"

- Denethor says, "My son is gone and the battle is lost. Maybe not today, nor on the morrow, but we cannot hold forever."
- Denethor says, "Why should I wish to live without him? Should we not come to death as father and son?"
- Mithrandir says, "That is beyond your authority, Denethor. Only the heathen kings of old slew their kin to ease the pain of their own ends."
- Mithrandir says, "Let go of this madness, Denethor. There is much still that you can do for your people!"
- Denethor says, "Nay! I have seen far greater than thou knowest, old grey fool! Thy hope is naught but shortsighted folly!"
- Denethor says, "I knew your designs well, Mithrandir. You kept close your halfling, but in our talking, he has revealed all the names and purposes of thy companions."
- Denethor says, "With one hand, you hold me forth as a shield against Mordor, and with the other, you call upon this... Ranger to usurp me!"
- Denethor says, "I will not bow to one from such a fallen house, even if his claim were proven beyond all doubt!"
- Mithrandir says, "What then would you do, Steward of Gondor?"
- Denethor says, "I would leave the chair to my son, who would rule of his own design and take no guidance from the queer mind of a wizard!"
- Mithrandir says, "Beregond would not find the breadth of his love or honour abated."
- Mithrandir says, "And you would not rob Faramir of his choice while his death still remains in doubt."
- Denethor says, "Thou have stolen the love of my son, and now, thou hadst stolen the love of my men..."
- Denethor says, "But thou cannot defy my will: I shall rule my own end!"
- Denethor says, "Come thee, hither! Come, if you are not all cowards at the wizard's bidding!"
- Denethor says, "Surrender thy torch and begone!"
- Mithrandir says, "Away, all of you!"
- Mithrandir says, "So passes Denethor, son of Ecthelion..."
- Mithrandir says, "Evil deeds have been done in Rath Dínen, but let go of the enmity that lies between you now, for it is naught but a design of the Enemy's will."
- Mithrandir says, "Remember this, servants of the Lord, blind in your loyalty: were it not for the treason of Beregond, Faramir would be burned as well."
- Mithrandir says, "Bear away your fallen brothers from this unhappy place and we shall bear Faramir to a place of rest and peace... or death if that be his doom."
- Mithrandir says, "Let us be gone from this place, my friends."
