Bilbo
- [From trailer]
- Bilbo Baggins: One day I'll remember. Remember everything that happened: the good, the bad, those who survived... and those that did not.
- Thorin Oakenshield: [last words]
- Thorin Oakenshield: [to Bilbo] Farewell, Master Burglar. Go back to your books... and your armchair... plant your trees, watch them grow. If more people... valued home above gold... this world would be a merrier... place...
- Bilbo Baggins: No! No, no, no! No! Thorin! Thorin... don't you dare!
- [cradles Thorin, who has already died]
- Bilbo Baggins: Thorin... hold on. Hold on. Look. The Eagles. The Eagles. The Eagles are here. Thorin!
- [realizing Thorin's dead]
- Bilbo Baggins: The Ea -
- [breaks down and begins to weep]
- Thranduil: If I am not mistaken, this is the Halfing who stole the keys to my dungeon right from under the nose of my guards.
- Bilbo Baggins: Yesh. Sorry about that.
- Thorin Oakenshield: I am so sorry... that I have lead you to such peril...
- [coughs]
- Bilbo Baggins: No! I am glad to have shared in your perils, Thorin. Each and every one of them. It is far more than any Baggins deserves!
- [Bilbo starts off home, speaking only to Balin]
- Bilbo Baggins: Could you tell the others I say goodbye?
- Balin: Tell them yourself.
- [Bilbo sees that the Company has come to see him off]
- Bilbo Baggins: If you ever pass through Bag End, tea is at four. You are welcome ANY time. Don't bother knocking!
- Gandalf: You'll never make it!
- Bilbo Baggins: Why not?
- Gandalf: Because they will see you coming, and kill you!
- Bilbo Baggins: No, they won't. They won't see me.
- Gandalf: It's out of the question! I won't allow it!
- Bilbo Baggins: I'm not asking you to allow it, Gandalf.
- [goes off]
- Bilbo Baggins: You are changed, Thorin! The Dwarf I met in Bag End would never have gone back on his word! Would never have doubted the loyalty of his kin!
- Thorin Oakenshield: Do not speak to me of loyalty. Throw him from the rampart!
- [Bilbo, sitting alone, reaches into his pocket]
- Thorin Oakenshield: What is that in your hand?
- Bilbo Baggins: [startled] It-it's nothing.
- Thorin Oakenshield: Show me!
- [Bilbo opens his hand, revealing an acorn]
- Bilbo Baggins: I picked it up in Beorn's garden.
- Thorin Oakenshield: You've carried it all this way?
- Bilbo Baggins: I'm going to plant it in my garden, in Bag End.
- Thorin Oakenshield: It's a poor prize to take back to the Shire.
- Bilbo Baggins: One day it'll grow. And every time I look at it, I'll remember. Remember everything that happened: the good, the bad... and how lucky I am that I made it home.
- [the night before the Elves are set to attack Erebor, Bilbo brings the Arkenstone to Thranduil's tent]
- Thranduil: The King's Jewel...
- Bard: And worth a King's ransom... how is this yours to give?
- Bilbo Baggins: I took it as my one-fourteenth share of the treasure.
- [Gandalf suppresses a smile]
- Bard: Why do this? You owe us nothing.
- Bilbo Baggins: I'm not doing it for you. I know that dwarves can be obstinate and pigheaded and difficult. They're suspicious and secretive, with the *worst* manners you can possibly imagine. But they are also brave and kind, and loyal to a fault. I've grown very fond of them, and I would save them if I can.
- Thorin Oakenshield: [calling down the hall, from the armory to Bilbo] Master Baggins, come here.
- [Bilbo tentatively wanders over]
- Thorin Oakenshield: You're going to need this.
- [Thorin holds up the mithril shirt - the same one Bilbo gave Frodo in Fellowship of the Ring]
- Thorin Oakenshield: Put it on.
- [Bilbo takes it and slips it on over his shirt]
- Thorin Oakenshield: This vest is made of silver steel. Mithril, it was called by my forebears. No blade can pierce it.
- Bilbo Baggins: [laughing slightly at how he looks] I look absurd! I'm not a warrior, I'm a Hobbit.
- Thorin Oakenshield: It is a gift. A token of our friendship.
- [Bilbo offers a small smile. Thorin glances at the Dwarves in the armory, lowering his voice]
- Thorin Oakenshield: True friends are hard to come by.
- [Shoves BIlbo, none too kindly, further down the tunnel, out of earshot]
- Thorin Oakenshield: I have been blind... but now I begin to see. I am betrayed!
- Bilbo Baggins: [nervously] Betrayed?
- Thorin Oakenshield: The Arkenstone.
- [leans closer to Bilbo, lowering his voice even more]
- Thorin Oakenshield: One of them has taken it.
- [Both Bilbo and Thorin glance back towards the armory]
- Thorin Oakenshield: One of them is false.
- Bilbo Baggins: [carefully] Thorin... the quest is fulfilled. You've won the mountain. Is that not enough?
- Thorin Oakenshield: Betrayed by my own kin...
- Bilbo Baggins: N-no, uh. You made a promise to the people of Laketown. I-is this treasure truly worth more than your honor? Our honor, Thorin, I was also there. I gave my word.
- Thorin Oakenshield: [Thorin smiles] For that, I am grateful. It was nobly done.
- [smile fades]
- Thorin Oakenshield: But the treasure in this mountain does not belong to the people of Laketown.
- [sounding more and more like Smaug]
- Thorin Oakenshield: This gold is ours. And ours alone. On my life, I will not part with a single coin. Not one piece of it.
- Bilbo Baggins: [Bilbo stares across at him in despair and maybe a little fear as the Dwarves march by, fully armed]
- Bilbo Baggins: Who is that? He doesn't look too happy.
- Gandalf: It is Dain, Lord of the Ironhills. Thorin's cousin.
- Bilbo Baggins: [jogging to catch up to Gandalf] Are they alike?
- Gandalf: [pauses] I always found Thorin the more reasonable of the two.
- Thorin Oakenshield: I'm glad you're here. I wish to part with you in friendship.
- Bilbo Baggins: No. You're not going anywhere, Thorin. You're going to live.
- Thorin Oakenshield: I would take back my words and my deeds at the Gate. You did what only a true friend would do. Forgive me. I was too blind to see it.
- Thorin Oakenshield: [learning Bard has the Arkenstone] They are taking us for fools. It is a ruse. A filthy lie. The Arkenstone is in this mountain! It is a trick!
- Bilbo Baggins: It... it's no trick. The stone is real. I gave it to them.
- Thorin Oakenshield: You?
- Bilbo Baggins: I took it as my fourteenth share.
- Thorin Oakenshield: You would steal from me?
- Bilbo Baggins: Steal from you? No. No, I may be a burglar, but I like to think I'm an honest one.
- Bilbo Baggins: Gandalf! It's Thorin.
- Gandalf: And Fili, Kili, and Dwalin. He's taking his best warriors.
- Bilbo Baggins: To do what?
- Gandalf: To cut the head off the snake.
- Bilbo Baggins: What are you doing? You... cannot go to war.
- Thorin Oakenshield: This does not concern you.
- Bilbo Baggins: Excuse me, but just in case you haven't noticed, there is an army of elves out there! Not to mention several hundred angry fishermen. We are, in fact, outnumbered.
- Thorin Oakenshield: Not for much longer.
- Bilbo Baggins: What does that mean?
- Thorin Oakenshield: It means, Master Baggins... you should never underestimate dwarves. We have reclaimed Erebor. Now, we defend it.
- Balin: Dragon-sickness. I've seen it before. That look. The terrible need. It is a fierce and jealous love, Bilbo. It sent his grandfather mad.
- Bilbo Baggins: Balin, if Thorin - had the Arkenstone - or if it was found - would it help?
- Balin: That stone crowns all. It is the summit of this great wealth - bestowing power - upon he who bears it. Would it stay his madness? No, laddie. I fear it would make him worse. Perhaps it is best - it remains lost.
- Lobelia Sackville-Baggins: Who are you?
- Bilbo Baggins: What do you mean, who am I? You know perfectly well who I am, Lobelia Sackville-Baggins! This is my home! And those... are my spoons, thank you very much.
