Drinking Game!

[Haldir]

Oh, gosh, I absolutely adored this completely pointless scene.

Legolas: So it’s a drinking game?

(Men “aye!” and raise their mugs.)

Gimli: Last one standing wins.

Men: What’ll we drink to? Let’s drink to victory! To victory!

(Gimli gulps down his mug as Legolas carefully starts to drink.)

.....---a short bit with Eowyn, Aragorn and Théoden---.....

(Gimli glups down another mug of beer as Legolas puts down another mug. Someone hands both Legolas and Gimli another mug.)

Gimli: Here, here. It’s the Dwarves that go swimming with little, hairy women. (he belches)

Legolas: I feel something. A slight tingle in my fingers. I think it’s affecting me.

Gimli: (in a drunk voice) What did I say? He can’t hold his liquor.

(Gimli crosses his eyes and falls back off his chair onto the floor.)

Legolas: Game over.

Legolas: I feel something. A slight tingle in my fingers. I think it’s affecting me.
^I loved that line... it took him SO many mugs to feel only a slight tingle in his fingers... and it took about the same amount for Gimli to pass out.
Shows us how durable Elves are...

Someone? That's Eomer in his most stunning pose during all the movies!! ;D

I love that scene as well. I've always wondered if they did drink the same amount of beer. If you look at the way Gimli 'consumes' in contrast with legolas' carefull way of sipping... They made it look like Gimli had a lot more.
On the other hand, if they each had an equal amount of beer, Legolas seems rather boring to hang out with.
Not that I like drunk guys, but he doesn't seem to have much fun at the party at all. Oh well.. giving it too much thought I guess!

Lol, well they did have each a pretty large pile of empty tankards in front of them, so I'm assuming that Legolas had quite a decent amount

I saw Eomer leaning against the barrels, but I wasn't sure if the arm belonged to him

^Yes, that's true. But it's rather ironic, considering when Gimli gets drunk he says, "See what I told ye? He can't hold his liquor..." and then passes out, and then there's Legolas standing there, looking slightly confused and pleased at the same time. So apparently the elves can also hold a considerable amount of liquor.
