Frodo: *speaks Elvish*
Legolas: The heck was that?
Aragorn: He said good morning.
Legolas: He did?
Frodo: I thought you would… understand that?
Legolas: I’ve never heard someone speak like that before…it was strange, and stilted, and you used full words the whole time.

Frodo: Oh.
Legolas: Aragorn has described it as ‘a monstrosity of a language’.
Gimli: Dwarves have a better language.
Legolas: You do.
Gimli: Ha! You admit- wait, you admit it?
Legolas: Elves curse by using the names of trees. Tree names! You have actually cusses. Do you know what I would give to cuss, just once in my life, Gimli? Do you know what I would give to tell someone to f- f- f- I can’t even say it.
Gimli: You can’t say fuck?
Legolas: …I have an idea.

Legolas: The-
Gimli: Fuck.
Legolas: -are you talking about?
Boromir: Why did we let the dwarf start swearing for the elf?
Aragorn: Because I can’t wait to see Thranduil’s face when he finds out.
