Save this time the boy is your kin and thousands of lives are at stake." "And, once I do his dirty work, my realm will be weakened and poor, and Aragost will go back to being the King of Gondor once he's done. I owe him no loyalty. He never showed any to me. Ten years ago, when Angmar overran our northern border; where was Aragost then? When the blood of the northmen was shed to defend my kingdom; where was Aragost then? When the orcs piled mounds of the dead and feasted on their flesh, where was Aragost then?" "Then by all means leave the man to die, that would not be a crime. Letting the people of Gondor suffer would be the real crime." "The people of Gondor are not my people. I have my own realm to take care of. I have no interest in the wars of the Southerners, if the only reason you offer me is to aid the people of a different Kingdom." "Are they not your people? The same blood runs through both of our veins and the veins of our people. Is this not the age of men? Should we not be helping one another to strive for greater things then to squabble and fall?"

"Yes, we should. I cannot recall the last time Aragost suggested 'helping one another', or did so to my people. If I enter into this war, all that will result is the death and carnage of my people, with no reward, nor guarantee of sucess."
