- Marigold Boffin says, "Everything looks so... twisted. Like the forest itself is angry."
- Marigold Boffin says, "The sword can't be too far from here."

- Marigold Boffin says, "There's Old Man Willow. And... you see that? A sword!"
- Marigold Boffin says, "I don't like the look of that sword one bit! And I don't think we ought to touch it, either!"
- Marigold Boffin says, "But if we strike it with everything we've got, even iron has to break."
- Tom Bombadil says, "Hey dol! Merry dol!"

- Tom Bombadil says, "Old grey Willow-man, mind you your mischief! Go now back to sleep, and don't be a-waking!"
- Tom Bombadil says, "Ha! Ha! Thorn or sword -- Tom sees no difference!"
- Marigold Boffin says, "Hm. I learn something new about my friend Tom every day!"
- Marigold Boffin says, "Well, never mind. It's time we went home and gave the Bounders good news."
