Eomer : What business does an Elf, a Man, and a Dwarf have in the Riddermark? Speak quickly!
Gimli : Give me your name, Horse-master, and I shall give you mine.
Eomer : [ gets off horse ] I would cut off your head, Dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground.
Legolas : [ prepares bow and arrow ] You would die before your stroke fell. [ Rohirrim point spears at Legolas ]
Aragorn : [ signals for Legolas to bring down his weapon ] I am Aragorn, son of Arathorn. This is Gimli, son of Gloin, and Legolas of the Woodland Realm. We are friends of Rohan, and of Theoden, your King.
Eomer : Theoden no longer recognizes friend from foe. Not even his own kin. [ takes off helmet ]
Eomer : Saruman has poisoned the mind of the king and claimed lordship over these lands. My company are those loyal to Rohan, and for that we are banished. The White Wizard is cunning. He walks here and there they say, as an old man hooded and cloaked. And everywhere his spies slip past our nets.
Aragorn : We are no spies. We track a party of Uruk-Hai, Westward across the plain. They have taken two of our friends captive.
Eomer : The Uruks are destroyed. We slaughtered them during the night
Gimli : But there were two Hobbits! Did you see two Hobbits with 'em?
Aragorn : They would be small. Only children to your eyes.
Eomer : We left none alive. We piled the carcasses and burned them.
Gimli : Dead?
Eomer : I am sorry. [ whistles ]
Eomer : Hasufel! Arod! May these horses bear you to better fortune than their former masters. Farewell. [ puts on helmet, gets on horse ]
Eomer : Look for your friends. But do not trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands.
Gimli : Give me your name, Horse-master, and I shall give you mine.
Eomer : [ gets off horse ] I would cut off your head, Dwarf, if it stood but a little higher from the ground.
