Disclaimer: No copyrights were harmed in the making of this fanfic.
(Scene: Helm's Deep. Aragorn and Gimli exit the keep through a secret side gate, to attack the orcs who are assailing the main door. They edge around the cliff face and observe the orcs from across a wide gap. Aragorn looks doubtful.)
Gimli: Oh, come on. We can take them!
Aragorn: It's a long way.
Gimli (after a moment's thought): Toss me.
Aragorn: What?
Gimli: I cannot jump the distance. You'll have to toss me. (He stops Aragorn as the Man reaches for him.) Ehh... Don't tell the Elf.
Aragorn: What happens in Helm's Deep stays in Helm's Deep.
(He tosses Gimli onto the orcs.)
