You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?

Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint.

And what do you say to your other nickname, the Merchant of Death?

That's not bad.

I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, but do you honestly expect us to believe that that was a bodyguard in a suit that conveniently appeared, despite the fact that...

I know that it's confusing. It is one thing to question the official story, and another thing entirely to make wild accusations, or insinuate that I'm a superhero.

I never said you were a superhero.

Didn't? Well, good, because that would be outlandish and, uh, fantastic. I'm just not the hero type. Clearly. With this laundry list of character defects, all the mistakes I've made, largely public.

[whispers to Tony] Just stick to the cards, man.

Yeah, okay. The truth is... I am Iron Man.

Let me speak with Thorin.

You would try to reason with the Dwarf?

To avoid war? Yes.

I'll slip quietly away. Will you tell the others I said goodbye?

You can tell them yourself.

If you are ever passing Bag End, tea is at four. There's plenty of it. You are welcome anytime. Don't bother knocking!

Saruman the White says it's not possible. The enemy was destroyed and will never return.

And what does Gandalf the Grey say?

I have told you already I will not go near that place.

Why not? The Elves could help us. We could get food, rest, advice.

I do not need their advice.

You think the Elves will give our quest their blessing? They will try to stop us.

Of course they will. But we have questions that need to be answered. If we are to be successful this will need to be handled with tact, and respect, and no small degree of charm, which is why you will leave the talking to me.

You! What were you doing? You nearly got yourself killed! Did I not say that you would be a burden? That you would not survive in the Wild? That you had no place amongst us? I have never been so wrong in all my life.

Is it lost?

Yes, yes, and I want to get unlost as soon as possible!

Oh! We knows! We knows safe paths for hobbitses! Safe paths in the dark... Shut up!

I didn't say anything...

We wasn't talking to you.

Tell me, what words of comfort did you give the Halfling before you sent him to his doom? The path that you have set him on can only lead to death.

Now, listen carefully. Lord Denethor is Boromir's father. To give him news of his beloved son's death would be most unwise. And do not mention Frodo, or the Ring. And say nothing of Aragorn either. In fact, it's better if you don't speak at all, Peregrin Took.

Don't talk to it, Merry. Don't encourage it.

You must understand, young Hobbit, it takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish. And we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.

We have just agreed...

Yes?

I have told your names to the Entmoot, and we have agreed you are not Orcs.

Well, that's good news.

My business is with Isengard tonight, with rock and stone.
