Celebrimbor
|
Welcome. Thank you for making the journey.
|
| 00:21:06 |
00:21:08 |
Celebrimbor
|
You need not hide your troubles here.
|
| 00:21:08 |
00:21:11 |
Celebrimbor
|
We have no intention to take advantage of them,
|
| 00:21:11 |
00:21:13 |
Celebrimbor
|
simply, to, to render aid.
|
| 00:21:14 |
00:21:16 |
Celebrimbor
|
As you once did us.
|
| 00:21:16 |
00:21:19 |
Durin
|
And exactly what aid do you think you could provide?
|
| 00:21:21 |
00:21:22 |
Celebrimbor
|
Rings.
|
| 00:21:23 |
00:21:26 |
Celebrimbor
|
One for each of Middle-earth's most powerful Dwarf-lords.
|
| 00:21:27 |
00:21:30 |
Durin
|
You brought us here to barter jewelry?
|
| 00:21:32 |
00:21:36 |
Celebrimbor
|
These Rings will be beyond any power yet devised
|
| 00:21:36 |
00:21:39 |
Celebrimbor
|
by Dwarf, or Man, or Elf.
|
| 00:21:43 |
00:21:45 |
Celebrimbor
|
They shall be Rings of Power.
|
| 00:21:49 |
00:21:51 |
Celebrimbor
|
Power to heal your mountain.
|
| 00:21:52 |
00:21:55 |
Celebrimbor
|
Just as they have healed our Great Tree.
|
| 00:21:57 |
00:21:58 |
Durin
|
Elrond...
|
| 00:21:59 |
00:22:01 |
Disa
|
The mithril?
|
| 00:22:02 |
00:22:04 |
Celebrimbor
|
Mithril has reversed our fortunes.
|
| 00:22:05 |
00:22:07 |
Celebrimbor
|
I believe it can do the same for yours.
|
| 00:22:09 |
00:22:11 |
Celebrimbor
|
Perhaps, for all the peoples of Middle-earth.
|
| 00:22:12 |
00:22:17 |
Durin
|
If we provide you with a steady supply, is that the sum of it?
|
| 00:22:18 |
00:22:22 |
Celebrimbor
|
Mithril, for Rings. Yes.
|
| 00:22:22 |
00:22:25 |
Disa
|
A generous offer, Lord Celebrimbor,
|
| 00:22:25 |
00:22:27 |
Disa
|
but why not take it to our King?
|
| 00:22:27 |
00:22:31 |
Celebrimbor
|
For Durin the Elder has always been hesitant
|
| 00:22:31 |
00:22:33 |
Celebrimbor
|
to accept outside aid.
|
| 00:22:33 |
00:22:38 |
Celebrimbor
|
But if our proposal was brought to him instead
|
| 00:22:38 |
00:22:40 |
Durin
|
by one of his own...
|
| 00:22:40 |
00:22:43 |
Durin
|
My father and I are no longer on speaking terms.
|
| 00:22:43 |
00:22:44 |
Disa
|
What Durin means--
|
| 00:22:44 |
00:22:46 |
Durin
|
You'd sooner convince an Orc
|
| 00:22:46 |
00:22:49 |
Durin
|
to sit for a sun-bath, than get the two of us in a room together.
|
| 00:22:49 |
00:22:52 |
Durin
|
I'm afraid, I'd be of little help.
|
| 00:22:52 |
00:22:54 |
Annatar
|
We summoned you here to help you.
|
| 00:22:58 |
00:23:01 |
Annatar
|
Bringing your father a means of saving his kingdom
|
| 00:23:01 |
00:23:04 |
Annatar
|
might be just the way to earn back his respect.
|
| 00:23:06 |
00:23:08 |
Annatar
|
Perhaps, even your inheritance.
|
| 00:23:08 |
00:23:11 |
Durin
|
I'm sorry, who exactly are you?
|
| 00:23:11 |
00:23:13 |
Celebrimbor
|
Yes, forgive me. This is--
|
| 00:23:13 |
00:23:16 |
Annatar
|
A friend. To the Elves.
|
| 00:23:17 |
00:23:19 |
Annatar
|
And to the Dwarves. Nothing more.
|
| 00:23:21 |
00:23:24 |
Durin
|
I see. And where's Elrond?
|
| 00:23:24 |
00:23:27 |
Annatar
|
Lindon's restoration demands his full attention.
|
| 00:23:27 |
00:23:29 |
Durin
|
Does it now?
|
| 00:23:31 |
00:23:34 |
Annatar
|
I assure you, Herald Elrond said he could think of little else
|
| 00:23:34 |
00:23:36 |
Annatar
|
than helping his Dwarven friends.
|
| 00:23:36 |
00:23:38 |
Annatar
|
He speaks of you so fondly.
|
| 00:23:39 |
00:23:41 |
Durin
|
Funny.
|
| 00:23:41 |
00:23:45 |
Durin
|
He's never mentioned you. Lord...
|
| 00:23:45 |
00:23:46 |
Annatar
|
Annatar.
|
| 00:23:47 |
00:23:48 |
Durin
|
Uh-huh.
|
| 00:23:49 |
00:23:53 |
Annatar
|
Elrond said that you were the wisest of all the Dwarves.
|
| 00:23:54 |
00:23:58 |
Annatar
|
Did he speak true, or is there someone else we should be treating with?
|
| 00:24:01 |
00:24:04 |
Disa
|
My Lords, you've given us much to consider.
|
| 00:24:04 |
00:24:07 |
Disa
|
Might we have a wee moment to, uh, to mull it over?
|
| 00:24:08 |
00:24:10 |
Annatar
|
I am afraid we--
|
| 00:24:08 |
00:24:10 |
Celebrimbor
|
Certainly!
|
| 00:24:12 |
00:24:14 |
Celebrimbor
|
Take whatever time you need.
