Gollum
- Gollum: My precious. It is my precious. Hello, my precious. Bless us and splash us. Food for my precious.
- [Bilbo in the background is heard]
- Gollum: Eggs and bacon. Spoons all polished. Warm muffins and sweet butter. GOLLUM: What is that noise, my precious? My precious does not know.
- Bilbo Baggins: [Bilbo see a shiny gold ring in the dirt] Bless my soul! Hello! What's this? Nice souvenir to show the neighbors back home. If I ever get home.
- [Sees Gollum]
- Bilbo Baggins: Who are you?
- Gollum: Bless us, my precious. A tasty morsel it would make us. What is it, my precious?
- Bilbo Baggins: I am Mr. Bilbo Baggins. I've lost my dwarves, my wizard and my way.
- [Gollum moves closer]
- Bilbo Baggins: Mind you, I'm armed with an elvish blade! That's better. Perhaps you know the way out?
- Gollum: But perhaps we sits here... and chats with it a bitsy, my precious? It... likes... riddles?
- Bilbo Baggins: Do I like riddles? Well, yes, after a fashion.
- Gollum: It must have a competition with us. If precious asks and it doesn't answer... we eats it, my precious.
- Bilbo Baggins: Oh, I say!
- Gollum: But if it asks us... and we doesn't answer... then we... shows it... the way out!
- Bilbo Baggins: It seems I have no choice.
- Gollum: My precious... we makes the first riddle. Voiceless, it cries. Wingless, flutters. Toothless, bites. Mouthless, mutters. Can it... guess... the answer?
- Bilbo Baggins: Half a moment.
- Gollum: Is it nice, my precious? Is it juicy? Gooey? Yucky? Is it scrumptious?
- Bilbo Baggins: If you please! Wind! Wind is the answer. Now, my turn. A box without hinges, key or lid. Yet golden treasure inside is hid
- Gollum: Let us give us a chance, my precious. Eggs! Eggs, it is!
- Bilbo Baggins: Oh, bother!
- Gollum: Us now! Now us, my precious.
- Bilbo Baggins: I'm a quiver with anticipation!
- Gollum: Now... This thing, alls things devours. Birds, beasts, trees, flowers. Gnaws iron, bites steel. Grinds hard stones to meal. Slays king, ruins town And beats high mountain down
- Bilbo Baggins: Well, interesting. Yes, now, let me see.
- Gollum: What does it answer? What does it answer?
- Bilbo Baggins: Just a moment now!
- Gollum: My precious... will it taste delicious? It will!
- Bilbo Baggins: Give me some time.
- Gollum: What? What does it say?
- Bilbo Baggins: I said time! Time! Whatever is the matter?
- Gollum: It guess! Time is the answer!
- Bilbo Baggins: It is? I knew it all along. That's an old one. Well, fun's fun. Now, couldn't we get out of here?
- Gollum: It's got to ask us another riddle, my precious!
- Bilbo Baggins: Blast, I can't think of another one.
- Gollum: Ask! Ask!
- Bilbo Baggins: Oh, very well. What have I got in my pocket?
- Gollum: Not fair! Not fair to ask my precious... what it's got in its nasty... little pocketeses!
- Bilbo Baggins: I'm sorry. That's my riddle. And if you can't guess it, you lose and show me out!
- Gollum: My precious loses! But first... my precious shows it... his something pretty.
- Bilbo Baggins: You wish to show me something
- Gollum: My birthday present.
- Bilbo Baggins: Wait! Where are you going?
- Gollum: My precious finds a ring... on his birthday... long ago. A golden ring. A magic ring! We must get my precious' birthday present from its hiding place.
- Bilbo Baggins: Now what? He'll never guess my pocket contained this.
- [Bilbo puts the ring on and turns invisible]
- Bilbo Baggins: Bless my soul!
- Bilbo Baggins: A box without hinges, key, or a lid, yet golden treasure inside is hid.
- Gollum: Eggs! Eggs it is.
- Gollum: [Gollum can not find the Ring] The ring? Most definitely. My precious will find it! Will find it! The Baggins. My precious will crush it... and smash it!
- Bilbo Baggins: Better douse this.
- [Sheathes his sword so Gollum won't see the light]
- Gollum: Where is it? Where is it? It is tricksy. It says it doesn't know the way out... but it knows the way in, my precious. It must... know a way out! It's off for the back door. My precious must make haste to the back door. To the back door!
- Bilbo Baggins: How convenient. Well, follow the leader.
- Gollum: [reaches the exit] It's not here, my precious! It's made an escape!
- Bilbo Baggins: [Jumps over Gollum to freedom] Ta-ta!
- Gollum: Thief! Thief! Baggins! We hates it! Hates it forever!
- Gollum: [Bilbo has just escaped with the ring] Thief! Thief! Baggins! We hates it! Hates it! FOREVER!
- Bilbo Baggins: Perhaps you know the way out?
- Gollum: Yes, gollum. But perhaps we sits here and chats with it a bitsy, my precious. It likes riddles?
