1 Lambert: Here come the orcs!
1 Dwalin: Stand firm, laddies! The dwarves ha' a prood tradition o' ne'er flinchin' from battle! {translation: Stand firm, lads. The dwarves have a proud tradition of never flinching from battle!}
2 Dwalin: No matter the odds, we ne'er give groond to the enemy, nor abandon oor fallen, nor alloow oor foes tae sense a shred o' fear or weakness in oor resolve! {translation: No matter the odds, we never give ground to the enemy, nor abandon our fallen, nor allow our foes to sense a shred of fear or weakness in our resolve!}
3 Dwalin: Yon halls were dwarf built a thoosand years agoo, and dwarven they shall remain! Dwergenberg isnae fallen so long as a dwarf remains tae defend it!! {translation: These halls were dwarf built a thousand years ago, and dwarven they shall remain! Dwergenberg is not fallen so long as a dwarf remains to defend it!!}
4 Mordekai: So... if you die first, we can run?

Imagine some sort of stirring patriotic dwarven music rising to a crescendo in the background as Dwalin makes his speech. The idea here was to write something in the first three panels that would make a movie-defining scene that appears in the trailer and all the TV ads - if this were a movie.

I'm proud of what Dwalin says too.
