Boromir of Gondor is restless waiting in Rivendell and is eager to depart on the secret errand of his company, but he is concerned that the Elves of Rivendell do not appreciate the sacrifices of his people.
'Every hour we spend here is an hour of battle for Gondor and the Men of the South, and still we wait! I must work off this restlessness. Speak with the guards at the southern entrance to the Vale of Imladris and see if they have need for the strong arm of Boromir of Gondor.
'This place has its defences, but too few strong men and women, if you ask me on it.'0/1

'We have things here at the entrance to the valley well in hand, Player. I appreciate the intention of our visitor from the South, but we have no need of his assistance: Imladris has been safe from attack for long years before either he -- or you -- walked in Eriador.
'Thank him for the offer, but tell him his concern is misplaced. The Elves can protect Imladris.'0/1

'What did you say, Player? The Elves have turned down my offer of aid? This is what I expected, though it grieves me to see it so clearly: the Elves believe they have no need for us, Player! They may change their opinion if Gondor falls, and change it quickly -- do they not see that our people are their last real defence?
'Have they forgotten the great deeds of our people that have made this land safe? We must remind them, my friend. Go to the Hall of Fire, in the House of Elrond, and remind some of the Elf-singers there of the great deeds of our people: of the Gondorian cavalry, perhaps, and of Elendil and his sons. They will not then undervalue the contributions of our people!'0/1

At Boromir's urging, you recite the tale of the ride of the Gondorian cavalry that pursued the Witch-king from Fornost, where the forces of Angmar were routed.
'A good tale, and the deeds of Prince Eärnur are worthy of remembrance, as are those of many strong Men besides. But your tale has ended before Eärnur's horse gave way in terror of the Witch-king. Were it not for the arrival of the Elf-lord Glorfindel, things may have gone ill for the Captain of Gondor that day.
'But your point is clear: against the great evils of the Shadow, Elves and Men must stand together. It is a lesson gladly remembered.'(Show dialog)
At Boromir's urging, you recite the tale of Elendil and his sons, and the strength they brought to bear in the Battle of Dagorlad at the Black Gate of Mordor.
'I know this tale, but I know it by another name, for in Imladris it is called \qThe Song of the Last Alliance\q and involves more characters: not just Elendil the Tall, but Gil-galad our king, and Master Elrond, and Círdan the Shipwright.
'But you have reminded me of this, and I urge you not to forget it yourself, Player: neither Elves alone, nor Men alone, could have withstood the power of the Enemy at the siege of Mordor.'0/1

'You have eased my mind, Player; though it seem we struggle alone, it is not so. That is why we fight on; not just for our own people, but for all peoples.'0/1
