-->'''Boromir''': Anyone who spends more than ten minutes with Harry Potter is certain that he is mad. This is true. [[ObfuscatingInsanity But anyone who spends long enough in his presence and pays attention becomes aware that he puts on at least some of the madness merely for his own amusement]] and he has [[ShellShockedVeteran very many valid]] [[{{Woobie}} reasons]] [[HurtingHero for the rest]].

-->'''Morcar''': *sceptical* [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments There is valid reason for]] [[RantInducingSlight regularly turning Prince Éomer into a canary?]]
-->'''Boromir''': [[ShutUpHannibal If you count having your parents murdered at the age of one and remembering your mother being murdered right in front of your eyes by one of the worst evils I have ever encountered]]. [[AbusiveParents If you count then being raised by guardians who routinely mistreated him and made him live in a small cupboard]], then being treated as the [[TheChosenOne Chosen hero by an entire world]] from the age of eleven, and thereafter fighting in a near constant war. If you count then having almost everyone even resembling a father figure murdered, often in front of you, and [[HopeSpot when you finally won, and sought surcease]], [[FromBadToWorse being thrown into another world and another war, being trapped there]]. If you count all of that, then yes, he has [[SarcasmMode valid ''reason''.]] [[HeterosexualLifePartners He is my friend]]. [[BigBrotherInstinct And I will ''not'' have him mocked, guardsman]]. [[PunctuatedForEmphasis Is. That. Clear?]]

-->'''Harry''': {{Beat}} And what are you in comparison to that? You are simply the latest and by far the most pitiful of his attempts to destabilise us. Run back to your Master, wretch, grovel in front of him and tell him that he is right to fear us. We have courage, steel, [[ThePowerOfLove powers your master will]] [[ThePowerOfFriendship never understand and the strength to wield them effectively]]. Go, now, while we feel merciful, you worthless piece of shit. [[ThePrincessBride Or I will fight you to the pain. I feel I should explain at this point what that means. To the pain means the first thing you will lose will be your feet below the ankles. Then your hands at the wrists. Next your nose. After that, you will lose will be your left eye followed by your right. But your ears you keep and I'll tell you why. So that every shriek of every child at seeing your hideousness will be yours to cherish. Every babe that weeps at your approach, every woman who cries out, "Dear Eru! What is that thing?" will echo in your perfect ears. That is what to the pain means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever]].
