| Denethor: | Abandon your posts! Flee, flee for your lives! |
| Gandalf: | (whacks Denethor) Prepare for battle! |
| Gandalf: | Prepare for battle! |
| Denethor: | My line has ended. |
| Denethor: | You think you are wise, Mithrandir. Yet for all your subtlties you have not wisdom. Do you think the eyes of the White Tower are blind? I have seen more than you know. Your right hand you would use as a shield against Mordor, and with your left you would seek to subplot me. I know who rides with Theoden of Rohan. Oh yes, word have reached my ears of this Aragorn, son of Arathorn. And I tell you now, I will not bow to this ranger from the north! |
| The Dragon Spirit: | Aang, use the ocean. Show them the power of Water. |
| Denethor: | No tomb for Denethor and Faramir. No long, slow sleep of death embalmed. We shall burn, like the heathen kings of old. Bring wood and oil. |
| Denethor: | You think you are wise Mithrandir, but for all your subtlelties you have not wisdom. Do you think the eyes of the white tower are blind?! I have seen more than you know. With your left hand you would use as a shield against Mordor, and with your right you would seek to supplant me?! Oh I know who rides with Theoden of Rohan. Oh yes. Word has reached my ears of this Aragorn son of Arathorn, and I tell you now, I will not bow to this ranger from the north, last of a ragged house long bereft of lordship. |

| Gandalf: | Authority is not given to you to deny the return of the king! Steward! |
| Denethor: | The Realm of Gondor is Mine! And no other's! |
