Dwarf-Gaffs

Gimli's lines long before the end of movie three were corny because you knew from past experience that everytime the dwarf opened his mouth there would be a joke, more or less funny. So it was a sort of 'enough with the cracks already; can't you be anything other than the tom-fool of the fellowship' kind of feeling everytime you heard him speak.

The Gimli line that really makes me cringe is the "Let him stay there; let him rot! Why should we care?" line as he sits smoking in Minas Tirith in ROTK. Did you forget why you came out this way, Gimli, dear? Did you forget that there are two little hobbits trying to get through all those orcs rotting in Mordor with the IMPORTANT OBJECT that is the reason for the whole journey? That went beyond "joking" and into the realm of true emptyhead! Or is it just me; I'm sure this was an obvious segue into Aragorn's necessary exposition to follow, but it didn't make Gimli look very good at all!
Cheers!
