A the start of the journey:

Gimli: your father locked up my father and his group in the dungeon for no reason! He would have kept them there for years if it wasn’t for bilbo!

Legolas: trust me, gimli. If my father truly had wanted to keep your father and his locked up, they would have disappeared into the deepest, darkest corners of the T&I unite and never seen the light of day again.
