| 00:40:26 | 00:40:27 | King Durin | When your mother bore you, |
| 00:40:30 | 00:40:33 | King Durin | something inside you was ill-formed. |
| 00:40:34 | 00:40:36 | King Durin | Your breathing was ragged and dry. |
| 00:40:38 | 00:40:43 | King Durin | A tiny, pitiful sound, like scraping chalkstones. |
| 00:40:46 | 00:40:48 | King Durin | Folk said you'd never see your first winter. |
| 00:40:51 | 00:40:53 | King Durin | And every night, |
| 00:40:54 | 00:40:58 | King Durin | after your mother's weeping eyes had found refuge in sleep, |
| 00:41:00 | 00:41:02 | King Durin | I held you to the firelight, |
| 00:41:04 | 00:41:06 | King Durin | kept your chin up all night long. |
| 00:41:08 | 00:41:10 | King Durin | Seemed to ease the burden a little. |
| 00:41:12 | 00:41:13 | King Durin | And one night, |
| 00:41:13 | 00:41:16 | King Durin | I gazed down on your tiny, naked face, |
| 00:41:18 | 00:41:20 | King Durin | and I saw upon it |
| 00:41:22 | 00:41:28 | King Durin | the great gray beard of an old Dwarven-king. |
| 00:41:30 | 00:41:34 | King Durin | Mighty and terrible as an army with banners. |
| 00:41:38 | 00:41:41 | King Durin | And when your mother woke, I told her, |
| 00:41:43 | 00:41:46 | King Durin | she need cry no more. |
| 00:41:46 | 00:41:52 | King Durin | Our son would live and he would move mountains! |
| 00:41:58 | 00:42:02 | Durin | How do you expect me to move mountains, Father, |
| 00:42:02 | 00:42:05 | Durin | if you fall to pieces when I dig a single hole? |
| 00:42:06 | 00:42:08 | Durin | You speak of greatness for me, |
| 00:42:09 | 00:42:13 | Durin | but you suffocate in me any ambition, |
| 00:42:13 | 00:42:15 | Durin | any desire, |
| 00:42:15 | 00:42:20 | Durin | any thought that does not originate in you. |
| 00:42:20 | 00:42:23 | King Durin | The iron that must bear the most heavy of burdens |
| 00:42:23 | 00:42:27 | King Durin | must also endure the most rigorous tempering! |
| 00:42:27 | 00:42:30 | Durin | Consigning your allies to death is not tempering. |
| 00:42:33 | 00:42:36 | Durin | Elrond is as much a brother to me |
| 00:42:37 | 00:42:40 | Durin | as if he'd been fired in my own mother's womb. |
| 00:42:42 | 00:42:43 | King Durin | How dare you... |
| 00:42:49 | 00:42:51 | King Durin | How dare you! |
| 00:42:53 | 00:42:54 | King Durin | Invoke your mother's memory |
| 00:42:54 | 00:42:58 | King Durin | to defend your decision to betray your own kind? |
| 00:42:58 | 00:43:01 | Durin | No! It's you that's betrayed our kind! |
| 00:43:01 | 00:43:05 | Durin | Squandering our future so you can cling to the past! |
| 00:43:05 | 00:43:07 | Durin | You profane the crown you wear! |
| 00:43:50 | 00:43:51 | King Durin | Leave it. |
| 00:43:54 | 00:43:56 | King Durin | It's not yours anymore. |
