The Hobbit

Gandalf: [as the Dwarves chant] There is a magic in that music. Bilbo: And it moves through me. Gandalf: You feel the love of beautiful things. Bilbo: To go and see the great mountainsǃ To hear the pine trees and waterfallsǃ Gandalf: To wear a sword instead of a walking stick. Bilbo: Just once...

Thorin Oakenshield: Gandalf, dwarves, and Burglar Baggins... Bilbo: What is this "burglar" business? Gandalf the Gray: If you prefer, you can say "expert treasure hunter". Bilbo: Well, yes, I do prefer that. Thorin: We are met tonight in the house of our friend, this most excellent hobbit. May the hair on his toes never fall out. Dwarves: Hear, hear! Thorin: We shall soon start on our long journey. Our object is, I take it, well-known to us? All of us? Bilbo: It is not well-known to me. Thorin: Really? Then we must inform our burglar. We seek a treasure, that which is rightfully ours. Far off in the East, beyond the Misty Mountains and the dark Forest of Mirkwood, there you will find... Lonely Mountain. Long ago, this was the home of my people and was ruled by my grandfather: King Under the Mountain. Gandalf: The dwarves of yore made mighty spells, while hammers fell like ringing bells, in places deep, where dark things sleep, in hollow halls beneath the fells. Goblets they carved ther

Thorin: We'll keep these. Deucedly fine blades, considering they were made by trolls. Gandalf: They don't seem like troll blades to me. Probably stolen. See these strange runes? Bilbo: Whatever are runes? Thorin: Ancient writing. Mine has them too. [to Gandalf] Can you make them out? Gandalf: I am not familiar with these letters. Thorin: Well, whoever made them, we've got them now. [to the Dwarves] Cover up the treasure, men. We'll fetch it on our return. Bilbo: [slashing a sword around at the air] Take that, Smaug! You filthy worm! Gandalf: I see you've also claimed a sword. Bilbo: Yes. Just a dagger, actually. But for one of my size, it suffices. Thorin: Hurry, men! We must be on our way. Gandalf: Hold. Thorin: Hold? Gandalf: It is time for you to have this. Thorin: And what may that be? Gandalf: This is a map of Lonely Mountain, presented to me 100 years ago by your father. Thorin: What? Why did it not come to me, the rightful heir? Gandalf: I've chosen my own time to hand it over.

Gandalf: Behold, at last. Rivendell! The hidden valley of the elves, where Elrond dwells. Bilbo: Simply enchanting. Gandalf: But we must be on. Bilbo: Pity. Elvish singing is not a thing to miss in June under the stars. But...

Gandalf: My dear Elrond, your hospitality is magnificent. The food, the vine, the stories, the music. Thorin: Yes, but we've much to accomplish. You promised to have a look at these troll swords after our feast. Elrond: Yes, yes, of course. The first of all, they're not troll-make. They must have been stolen. They were made for the goblin-wars. This sword, Thorin, the runes name Orcrist, the Goblin-cleaver. Gandalf: And mine? Elrond: Glamdring, the Foe-hammer. Keep them well. Thorin: I will keep this in honour. Elrond: Now show me your map. Bilbo: I have it here. [gives Elrond the map] Elrond: Something's strange. Let's see. Yes, indeed! There are moon-letters here! See? Bilbo: What are moon-letters? Elrond: Runes that can only be seen when the moon shines behind them. They give directions for finding the secret door. "Stand by the grey stone when the thrush knocks, and the last light of the setting sun will shine upon the keyhole."

Great Goblin: Who are these miserable persons? Thorin: Thorin, at your service. We did not mean to trespass. We were merely seeking shelter from the storm. Goblin: He is a liar, O Truly Tremendous One. Ask him to explain his weapon! [draws Thorin's sword and holds it up] This sword is named Orcrist, the Goblin Cleaver! Great Goblin: [enraged] Murderers! Elf friends! Gandalf: STOP! Great Goblin: [terrified] I know that sword! It is called Glamdring, the Foe Hammer! NOOOO!! Bilbo: It's Gandalf! Good old Gandalf! Gandalf: Follow me! Quickly! Through here! Follow me!
