• Kili : Aren't you going to search me? I could have anything down my trousers.

  Tauriel : Or nothing.

• Legolas : [In Elvish] 

  [speaking about Kíli] 

  Legolas : Why does the Dwarf stare at you, Tauriel?

  Tauriel : [In Elvish]  Who can say? He's quite tall for a Dwarf. Do you not think?

  Legolas : [In Elvish]  Taller than some...

  [pause] 

  Legolas : but no less ugly.

• Kili : Tauriel...

  Tauriel : Lie still.

  Kili : You cannot be her. She is far away. She... she is far, far away from me. She walks in starlight in another world. It was just a dream. Do you think she could have loved me?

• Legolas : Tauriel, you cannot hunt thirty Orcs on your own.

  Tauriel : [smiling]  But I'm not on my own.

  Legolas : You knew I would come.

• Thranduil : [stares at Bilbo]  I know you're there. Why do you linger in the shadows?

  [Bilbo thinks he's been found out...] 

  Tauriel : [steps out from behind Bilbo]  I was coming to report to you.

  Thranduil : I thought I ordered that nest to be destroyed not two moons past.

  Tauriel : We cleared the forest as ordered, my Lord, but more spiders keep coming up from the South. They are spawning in the ruins of Dol Guldur. If we could kill them at their source...

  Thranduil : That fortress lies beyond our borders. Keep our lands clear of those foul creatures. That is your task.

  Tauriel : And when we drive them off, what then? Will they not spread to other lands?

  Thranduil : Other lands are not my concern. The fortunes of the world will rise and fall, but here in this kingdom, we will endure.

  [Bilbo sneaks past him, Thranduil senses something and looks in Bilbo's direction but sees nothing] 

• Legolas : It is not our fight.

  Tauriel : [reluctant]  It is our fight. It will not end here. With every victory this evil will grow. If your father has his way, we will do nothing. We will hide within our walls, live our lives away from the light and let darkness descend. Are we are not part of this world? Tell me, Mellon, when did we let evil become stronger than us?

• Tauriel : You like killing things, Orc? You like death? Then let me give it to you!

• Thranduil : Legolas said you fought well today. He's grown very fond of you.

  Tauriel : I assure you, my Lord, Legolas thinks of me as not more than a captain of the guard.

  Thranduil : Perhaps he did once. Now I'm not so sure.

  Tauriel : I do not think that you would allow your son to pledge himself to a lowly Silvan elf.

  Thranduil : No... You are right, I would not. Still, he cares about you. Do not give him hope where there is none.

• Kili : [Kili hears the elves having a feast up above them in the kingdom]  Sounds like quite a party you're having up there

  Tauriel : It is Mereth Nuin Giliath; The Feast of Starlight. All light is sacred to the Eldar, but the Wood Elves love best the light of the stars.

  Kili : I always thought it is a cold light, remote and far away.

  Tauriel : It is memory, precious and pure.

  [they look at each other for a moment] 

  Tauriel : Like your promise.

  [she holds his stone in her hand and he takes it back, she turns and looks up] 

  Tauriel : I have walked there sometimes, beyond the forest and up into the night. I have seen the world fall away and the white light forever fill the air.

  Kili : I saw a fire moon once. It rose over the pass near Dunland. Huge! Red and gold it was, it filled the sky. We were an escort for some merchants from Ered Luin, they were trading in silverwork for furs. We took the Greenway south, keeping the mountain to our left, and then it appeared. This huge fire moon lighting our path. I wish I could show you...

  [as Tauriel sits next to his cell to listen to his story we see Legolas standing above where the cells are located, not looking happy as he listens to them]
