[Moria]

"It is a name of ill omen, nor do I see the need to go there. If we cannot cross the mountains, let us journey southwards, until we come to the Gap of Rohan, where men are friendly to my people, taking the road that I followed on my way hither. Or we might pass by and cross the Isen into Lanstrand and Lebinnin, and so come to Gondor from the regions nigh to the sea."

[BOOK> Boromir-Gandalf: About Moria Gate]

Bill the pony started in fear, "Do not let him run away! It seems that we shall need him still, if the wolves do not find us. How I hate this foul pool!" He stooped and picking up a large stone he cast it far into the water.
[BOOK> Boromir: About the Watching-Water]

Boromir muttered under his breath, but the echoing stone magnified the sound to a hoarse whisper that all could hear: "In the deep places of the world! And thither we are going against my wish. Who will lead us now in this deadly dark?"

"No indeed! Which way shall we take? Yonder eastward arch?"

Heavy feet were heard in the corridor. Boromir flung himself against the door and heaved it to; then he wedged it with broken sword-blades and splinters of wood...there was a blow that made the door quiver; and then it began to grind slowly open...Boromir leaped forward and hewed at the arm with all his might; but his sword rang, glanced aside, and fell from his shaken hand. The blade was notched...Boromir hurled himself against the door and slammed it to again.

Boromir laughed. "They did not expect this, the fire has cut them off. We are on the wrong side."
[BOOK> Boromir: At the Bridge]

The [Balrog] streaming with fire raced towards them. The orcs yelled and poured over the stone gangways. Then Boromir raised his horn and blew. Loud the challenge rang and bellowed, like the shout of many throats under the cavernous roof. For a moment the orcs quailed and the fiery shadow halted. Then the echoes died as suddenly as a flame blown out by a dark wind, and the enemy advanced again.
[BOOK> Boromir: At the Bridge]

With a bound the Balrog leaped full upon the bridge. Its whip whirled and hissed...Aragorn ran back along the bridge. "Gondor!" cried Boromir and leaped after him.

Doom, doom, doom...the drums seemed to vibrate the very rock walls about them. Boromir dashed towards the old doors and peered out into the gloom. He was met by three arrows imbedding themselves just inches from his head. Aragorn leaped to join him, and together they flung the doors to and jammed them with broken axes and swords. Boromir turned and a look of disgust came over his fair face, "They have a cave troll..."

Boromir stood at the edge of the casm, arrows striking the stones at his feet. He realized that the halflings could not cross on their own. With a quick movement, he sheathed his sword. "Merry, Pippin, come!" He took them in his mighty arms, taking a step backward as he did so. With a great leap he cleared the gap and landed safely on the other side on the bridge.
[MOVIE> Boromir: At the Bridge]

Aragorn stood staring down where Gandalf had fallen, not heeding the arrows that flew thick around him. "Aragorn!!! Aragorn!" Boromir called, starting him out of his thoughts. Looking back at the bridge, Aragorn ran up the steps after them.
