Disclaimer: This wasn't in ROTK. I don't get any say in what goes into movies. I don't make any profit from my versions.
Note: Why wait for the extended version – in fact, why wait for the DVD at all! With any luck at all, this will be included in the real ROTK EE DVD. (I know, I'm delusional…)
Summary: The full conversation between Legolas and Gimli before the battle in front of the Black Gates of Mordor. Legolas speaks first.

*****

"I never thought I would die side by side with an elf."

"How about side by side with a friend?"

"Aye, I could do that."

"How about a very good friend?"

"Aye, I could do that as well."

"How about a best friend?"

"Sure."

"Best friend ever?"

"Why not?"

"Mate?"

"Mate? What do you mean?"

"Life partner?"

"You mean like, married?"

"Well, maybe not married. Sleeping together."

"You mean like fuck buddies?"

"How about lovers?"

"Aye, with pleasure, Master Elf. But look, we don't have much time. Those orcs are headed our way."

"Well then, we'd best survive the battle, shouldn't we?"

"Aye!"
