Quotes 

• Thorin : May the hair on his toes never fall out!

• Gandalf the Grey : [Bilbo and Gandalf enter Thorin's tent. Thorin lies dying]  I have brought him.

  Thorin : Farewell. good thief. I wish to part in friendship, and would take back my words at the gate.

  Bilbo Baggins : There were many words I would take back, also.

  Thorin : And does it take this to make us to see each other?

  Bilbo Baggins : Thorin...

  Thorin : Hush. You are no coward, my friend. I am sorry I so named you.

  Bilbo Baggins : This is not important...

  Thorin : I was wrong. You did understand war. It was I who did not... until now.

  Bilbo Baggins : Farewell, King Under the Mountain.

  Thorin : Child of the kindly West, I have come to know, if more of us valued your ways - food and cheer above hoarded gold - it would be a merrier world. But sad or merry, I must leave it now. Farewell.

  Bilbo Baggins : [crying]  Farewell, Thorin.

• [as Bilbo and the dwarves are getting ready for the Battle of Three - ultimately Five - Armies, "Mister Baggins" complains about his ill-fitting war-gear] 

  Bilbo Baggins : This is deucedly uncomfortable. I'm certain to get a rash!

  Thorin : That armor was forged in the foundaries of my grandfather. Wear it proudly, and it will carry you to victory!

  Bilbo Baggins : Confusticate and be-bother victory! I hope only to be taken prisoner as quickly as possible!

  Thorin : Those are the words of a COWARD!

  Bilbo Baggins : The coward who flushed out Smaug? The coward who saved you time and time again? The coward who always went forward while you cringed behind?

  Thorin : You don't see us cringing NOW, do you?

  Bilbo Baggins : This is MADNESS! Fourteen against ten thousand, and yet you march off to certain destruction as merrily as if you were on your way to another tea party!

  Thorin : Your kind will never understand war, hobbit. This is WAR!

• Gandalf the Grey : This is a map of Lonely Mountain, presented to me 100 years ago by your father.

  Thorin : Why wasn't it given to me, the rightful heir?

  Gandalf the Grey : I have chosen my own time to give it to you.

  Bilbo Baggins : Oh, I do love maps! I have quite a collection of them.

  Thorin : Bah! I remember the mountain well enough without it.

  Gandalf the Grey : Indeed. And how do you intend to enter Smaug's chambers? Through the front gate? As a houseguest? You would be ashes before you took your seventh step.

• [as the Goblins arrive] 

  Thorin : Oh great Elf King, my truest friend and ally, we must join our forces against this common scourge!

  Elvenking : But of course, oh noble King Under the Mountain. Your people are like brothers unto mine.

  Bard : And my men and all their weapons are as one with yours! Together we will vanquish the fell foe...

  Everyone : TOGETHER!

  Bilbo Baggins : Thorin is correct, I simply do not understand war...

• [as Bilbo escapes Smaug's chamber] 

  Dori : We should have gone with him!

  Thorin : To be roasted alive?

  Dwarves : [Bilbo comes out]  It's the burglar.

  Dori : Free cheers for good old Bilbo!

  Bilbo Baggins : Thank you. But I'd appreciate a more pragmatic salute. In other words... EXTINGUISH ME!
