Elrond: This is Orcrist, the Goblin Cleaver, a famous blade. Made by the High Elves of the West, my kin. [hands it back to Thorin]
Elrond: May it serve you well. [unsheathes Gandalf's sword]

Balin: Wouldn't bother, lad. Swords are named for the great deeds they do in war.
Bilbo Baggins: What are you saying? That my sword hasn't seen battle?
Balin: Not actually sure it is a sword. More of a letter opener, really.

Gandalf: Of course I was going to tell you, I was waiting for this very chance. And really, I think you could trust that I know what I am doing.
Elrond: Do you? That dragon has slept for 60 years. What will happen if your plan should fail? If you wake that beast...
Gandalf: But if we succeed. If the Dwarves take back the mountain, our defenses in the East will be strengthened!
Elrond: It is a dangerous move, Gandalf.
Gandalf: It is also dangerous to do nothing or cut the throne of Erebor, it's Thorin's birthright. What is it you fear?
Elrond: Have you forgotten? A strain of madness runs deep in that family. His grandfather lost his mind, his father succumbed to the same sickness. Can you swear Thorin Oakenshield will not also fall? Gandalf, these decisions do not rest with us alone. It is not up to you or me to redraw the map of Middle-earth.

Gandalf: Does it not worry you that the last of the Dwarf-rings should simply vanish along with its bearer? Of the Seven Dwarf-rings, four were consumed by dragons, two were taken by Sauron before he fell in Mordor... the fate of the last Dwarf-ring remains unknown, the ring that was borne by Thrain.
Saruman: Without the Ruling Ring of Power, the Seven are no value to the Enemy. To control the other Rings, he needs the One. And that Ring was lost long, long ago. It was swept out to sea by the waters of the Anduin.

Gollum: [to Bilbo; after answering the first riddle]Our turn... [reciting riddle; as he recites, Gollum menacingly creeps around a rock, not taking his eyes off of Bilbo, who slowly and cautiously steps away from him]
Gollum: Voiceless it cries; Wingless flutters; Toothless bites; Mouthless mutters. [he glares at Bilbo deviously]
Bilbo Baggins: Just a minute... [Bilbo walks away to think]
Gollum: [his pupils widen; as Friendly Gollum]Ooo, Ooo! We knows! We knows! [as treacherous Gollum]
Gollum: Shut up!
Bilbo Baggins: [Bilbo sees ripples in the lake, made by the wind; he smiles]Wind...
Bilbo Baggins: [turning to Gollum]It's wind, 'course it is. [Gollum growls]
Gollum: [prowling towards Bilbo]Very clever, hobbitses... VERY CLEVER...
Bilbo Baggins: [holds out his sword towards Gollum, stopping him; reciting]A... A box without hinges, key, or-or lid... and yet, golden treasure inside is... hid.
Gollum: [Gollum creeps away to think; as he is thinking, he begins to mutter and whisper to himself]Box... um uh... Box... lid... and a key...
Bilbo Baggins: Well?
Gollum: [annoyed; pointing at Bilbo]It's nah-stee. [He continues to whisper to himself]
Bilbo Baggins: Give up?
Gollum: [strained]Oh, give us a chance, precious! Give us a CHANCE! [Gollum continues to groan, growl, grunt and hiss in frusteration. As he thinks, he makes faces; making oo sounds and blowing raspberry sounds with his lips stretched when suddenly, his eyes open wide and his mouth is agape]
Gollum: *EGGSES!* [Gollum chuckles as Bilbo shakes his head, dismayed]
Gollum: Eggses! Wet, crunchy little eggses! Grandmother taught us how to suck them, yes! heh, heh...

Bilbo Baggins: [as four dwarves start rearranging his kitchen, his doorbell rings again]Oh no. No. There's nobody home! Go away, and bother somebody else! There're far too many dwarves in my dining room as it is. If this is some cluthead's idea of a joke, I can only say, it is in VERY poor taste!

Bilbo Baggins: [feeling the One Ring in his pocket; to himself]What... have I got... in my pocket? [Gollum; who is crouching on a stalagmite, holding a rock he is meaning to throw at Bilbo, scowls, thinking Bilbo's question as a riddle]
Gollum: That's not fair... That's not fair! It's against the *rules*! [In a hissy fit, Gollum throws the rock down. Bilbo looks on in amazement]
Gollum: [pouting]Ask us another one!
Bilbo Baggins: [points his sword at Gollum]No, no. You said, ask me a question. Well, *That* is MY question. What Have I Got In My Pocket? [Gollum growls in reluctance as he jumps down from his stalagmite perch and crouches on the floor beside his hideout]
Gollum: [holding up only two fingers]It must give us three guesses, precious! It must give us *three*!
Bilbo Baggins: Three guesses, very well. Guess away!
