Balin: [sees a chamber full of dead dwarves, with their only means of escape blocked] The last of our kin. They must have come here hoping beyond hope. We could make for the mines. Might last a few days.
Thorin Oakenshield: No. I will not die like this, cowering, clawing for breath. We make for the forges.
Dwalin: He'll see us! Sure
as death.
Thorin Oakenshield: Not if we split up.
Balin: Thorin, we'll never make it.
Thorin Oakenshield: Some of us might. Lead him to the forges. We kill the dragon. If this is to end in fire, then we will all burn together!
Smaug: Well, thief! I smell you, I hear your breath, I feel your air. Where are you?
[moves in Bilbo's direction]
Smaug: Where are you?
[Bilbo runs, but Smaug hears his footsteps across the gold and follows]
Smaug: Come now, don't be shy... step into the light.
Bilbo Baggins: I did not come to steal from you, O Smaug the Unassessably Wealthy. I merely wanted to gaze upon your magnificence, to see if you really were as great as the old tales say. I did not believe them.
Smaug: [strikes a pose] And do you, NOW?
Bilbo Baggins: Truly, tales and songs fall utterly short of your enormity, O Smaug
the Stupendous...
Smaug: Do you think flattery will keep you alive?
Bilbo Baggins: No, no...
Smaug: No, indeed!
Gandalf: You've changed, Bilbo Baggins. You're not the same Hobbit as the one who left the Shire...
Bilbo Baggins: I was going to tell you... I found something in the Goblin tunnels.
Gandalf: Found what? What did you find?
Bilbo Baggins: [pause]
Bilbo Baggins: My courage.
Gandalf: Good... well, that's good. You'll need it.
Smaug: There is something about you. Something you carry, something made of gold... but far more PRECIOUS...
[Bilbo is assaulted by Sauron's eye and pulls off the ring]
Smaug: [sees him] There you are, Thief in the Shadows!
Legolas: [In Elvish]
[speaking about KÃli]
Legolas: Why does the Dwarf stare at you, Tauriel?
Tauriel: [In Elvish] Who can say? He's quite tall for a Dwarf. Do you not think?
Legolas: [In Elvish] Taller than some...
[pause]
Legolas: but no less ugly.
Thorin Oakenshield: You're afraid.
Balin: Yes! Yes, I'm afraid! I fear for YOU, Thorin. A sickness lies on that treasure, a sickness that drove your grandfather mad!
Thorin Oakenshield: I am not my grandfather.
Balin: You are not yourself! The Thorin I know would not hesitate...
Thorin
Oakenshield: I will not risk this quest for the life of one burglar.
Balin: Bilbo. His name is Bilbo!
Thranduil: I offer you my help.
Thorin Oakenshield: I am listening.
Thranduil: I will let you go if you but return what is mine.
Thorin Oakenshield: A favor for a favor...?
Thranduil: You have my word, one King to another.
Thorin Oakenshield: I would not trust
Thranduil, the great King, to honor his word should the end of all days be upon us! You lack all honor! I have seen how you treat your friends. We came to you once, starving, homeless, seeking your help, but you turned your back. You turned away from the suffering of my people in the inferno that destroyed us!
Thranduil: [reveals scars] Do not speak to ME of dragon fire! I
know its wrath and ruin! I have faced the great serpents of the north!... I warned your grandfather what his greed would summon. He would not listen... You are just like him. So go, stay here and rot. One hundred years is a mere blink in the life of an elf! I'm patient! I can wait!
[after Thorin orders Kili left behind, Fili steps off the boat]
Thorin Oakenshield: Fili, don't be a fool. You belong with the Company.
Fili: I belong with my brother!
Bard the Bowman: The Lord of Silver Fountains / The King of Carven Stone / The King Beneath the Mountain / shall come into his own. / And the bells shall ring in gladness / at the Mountain King's return. / But all shall fail in sadness, / and the Lake will shine and burn...
[observes a carving of the Arkenstone]
Bilbo Baggins: What's that?
Balin: That is the Arkenstone.
Bilbo Baggins: And what is it?
Thorin Oakenshield: That, Master Burglar, is why you are here.
