* Our first scene with Elrond: Lounging in a tree, writing a speech, and muttering to himself as he dislikes some of his word choice. Later we see the High King giving this speech, and when he gets to the part Elrond rewrote, Elrond looks insufferably pleased with himself. Making it even funnier is the fact that you can see him mouthing the parts he wrote as Gil-Galad says them in the most adorkable way possible.

* The eruption of the faraway volcano spewed fire-rocks that turned the Grove trees to ash, so the Hobbits asked the Stranger to see if could do something to help. The Stranger starts touching the trees and whispering unknown words.
--> '''Malva''': What is he muttering?
-->'''Sadoc''': Likely little words, so the tree will understand.
--> '''Malva''': Sadoc, trees don’t talk.
--> '''Sadoc''': Some do!
* Disa is angry to learn that Durin’s father refused to mine for Mithril, thus condemning the elves to potential death, but even as she insults him she understands he is their king.
--> '''Disa''': All right, fine. I shouldn’t have said he had lice in his beard. Or called him a fool. No, no…I detest it when you heap slag on my mother.

* Sadoc is sending the Stranger to the big folk settlement Greenwood the Great, where he may have a better chance at finding the location of his Star constellation.
--> '''Sadoc''': All I can tell you is, Harfoot-folk haven’t seen them since the days our ancestors lived in parts unknown over a thousand years ago. And that’s a long time to wander, [[PlayedForLaughs even for a fellow with big legs]].
* Galadriel finally speaks of her husband Celeborn, missing and presumed dead in the war. She describes how they first met and their last meeting.
--> '''Galadriel''': We met in a glade of flowers. I was dancing and he saw me there.
--> '''Theo''': [[OutOfCharacterMoment You]]? Were dancing?
--> '''Galadriel''': The war seemed so far away then. When he went to it I chided him, his armor didn’t fit properly, I called him a [[AffectionateNickname silver clam]]. I never saw him again after that.
* The moment Sadoc gets voluntold to help Nori and all the other Hobbits volunteering to find the Stranger.
-->'''Malva''': Brandyfoot girl was right to help him, was right all along, and if you think Malva Meadowgrass is too proud to admit it, well, what’s the good of living, Sadoc, if we aren’t living good?
-->'''Sadoc''': You know, Malva, just once, once, it would be grand if you weren’t right all the time […] Doesn’t matter anyway, [[WeAllDieSomeday we’re all going to die]].
* And later:
-->'''Nori''': Think we’re going to find him?
-->'''Sadoc''': He’s a bloody giant, how could we miss him?

* After the tension-building scene with the Mystics and the Stranger potentially losing control of his powers, the hobbits appear and Sadoc complains “In the grand tradition of bad ideas, this might be the worst yet.” The others ask him if he had any better ideas, quickly silencing him.
* When exchanging farewells, Nori’s family tells her to go before she loses her nerve, then freely admit they are just likely to lose theirs.

* While at dinner with the Elves, Durin claims that the table they're dining on is carved from marble that can only be found deep underground, and due to its rarity the Dwarves reserve it for sacred items such as tombs and monuments. Gil-Galad makes a show of apologising for the insult and promises to let Durin take the table when he returns home. Some time later Durin and Elrond are watching a group of Elves carry the table out of Lindon. When one of them stumbles, Elrond notices Durin smirking, and that's when he realises what just happened.

* Isildur comes up to Valandil to apologize, but Valandil snaps that he knows Isildur is only sucking up to join the expedition that Valandil has been promoted. Isildur spends five seconds looking outraged at the idea...then asks, "can you?" With an eye roll and "see?" expression, Valandil extends a hand to Ontamo, who sighs and puts some money in his hands. Isildur gawks at the realization the two wagered how long it was going to take for him to ask for this.
