• Balin : [sees a chamber full of dead dwarves, with their only means of escape blocked]  The last of our kin. They must have come here hoping beyond hope. We could make for the mines. Might last a few days.

  Thorin Oakenshield : No. I will not die like this, cowering, clawing for breath. We make for the forges.

  Dwalin : He'll see us! Sure as death.

  Thorin Oakenshield : Not if we split up.

  Balin : Thorin, we'll never make it.

  Thorin Oakenshield : Some of us might. Lead him to the forges. We kill the dragon. If this is to end in fire, then we will all burn together!

• Bard the Bowman : You have no right, no right to enter that mountain!

  Thorin Oakenshield : I have the only right.

• [after Thorin orders Kili left behind, Fili steps off the boat] 

  Thorin Oakenshield : Fili, don't be a fool. You belong with the Company.

  Fili : I belong with my brother!

• [observes a carving of the Arkenstone] 

  Bilbo Baggins : What's that?

  Balin : That is the Arkenstone.

  Bilbo Baggins : And what is it?

  Thorin Oakenshield : That, Master Burglar, is why you are here.

• Thorin Oakenshield : Here! You witless worm!

  Smaug : YOU!

  Thorin Oakenshield : I'm taking back what you stole.

  Smaug : You will take NOTHING from me, dwarf. I laid low your warriors of old. I instilled terror in the hearts of men. I AM KING UNDER THE MOUNTAIN!

  Thorin Oakenshield : This is not your kingdom! These are dwarf lands. This is dwarf gold! And we will have our revenge!

• Thorin Oakenshield : You're afraid.

  Balin : Yes! Yes, I'm afraid! I fear for YOU, Thorin. A sickness lies on that treasure, a sickness that drove your grandfather mad!

  Thorin Oakenshield : I am not my grandfather.

  Balin : You are not yourself! The Thorin I know would not hesitate...

  Thorin Oakenshield : I will not risk this quest for the life of one burglar.

  Balin : Bilbo. His name is Bilbo!

• Thranduil : I offer you my help.

  Thorin Oakenshield : I am listening.

  Thranduil : I will let you go if you but return what is mine.

  Thorin Oakenshield : A favor for a favor...?

  Thranduil : You have my word, one King to another.

  Thorin Oakenshield : I would not trust Thranduil, the great King, to honor his word should the end of all days be upon us! You lack all honor! I have seen how you treat your friends. We came to you once, starving, homeless, seeking your help, but you turned your back. You turned away from the suffering of my people in the inferno that destroyed us!

  Thranduil : [reveals scars]  Do not speak to ME of dragon fire! I know its wrath and ruin! I have faced the great serpents of the north!... I warned your grandfather what his greed would summon. He would not listen... You are just like him. So go, stay here and rot. One hundred years is a mere blink in the life of an elf! I'm patient! I can wait!

• Gandalf : [talking inside The Prancing Pony]  I ran into some unsavory characters whilst traveling along the Greenway. They mistook me for a vagabond.

  Thorin Oakenshield : I imagine they regretted that.

  Gandalf : One of them was carrying a message.

  [Gandalf puts the message on the table] 

  Gandalf : It is Black Speech. A promise of payment.

  Thorin Oakenshield : [looking at the message]  For what?

  Gandalf : [looking at Thorin]  Your head.

• [Thorin and Co run into Beorn's house, and barely escape from a gigantic bear] 

  Thorin Oakenshield : What is that?

  Gandalf : That is our host!

• Thorin Oakenshield : The Arkenstone is half a world away, at the foot of a fire-breathing dragon!

  Gandalf : Which is why we are going to need... a burglar.

• Thorin Oakenshield : Well done, Master Burglar!

  [all the Dwarves make it out in barrels] 

• Thorin Oakenshield : [after putting in the key and opening the door]  Erebor.

  Balin : [In tears]  Thorin.

  Thorin Oakenshield : I know these walls. These halls. This stone. Do you remember it Balin? Chambers filled with golden light.

  Balin : I remember.

  Gloin : [Reading the Dwarvish writing in the stone]  Herein lies the 7th kingdom of Durin's folk. May the heart of the mountain unite all dwarves in defense of this home.

  Balin : The throne of the king.

  Bilbo Baggins : [Observing the carving]  And what's that, above it?

  Balin : The arkenstone.

  Bilbo Baggins : And what's that?

  Thorin Oakenshield : That, Master Burglar, is why you are here.

• Thorin Oakenshield : [on his father, Thrain]  You're like the others. You think he's dead.

  Gandalf : I was not at the Battle of Moria...

  Thorin Oakenshield : No. I was.

  [flashback to the Battle of Moria; Thorin sees Azog decapitate King Thror and throw his head to the ground] 

  Thorin Oakenshield : NO!

  [Thrain charges forward] 

  Thorin Oakenshield : Father...!

  Thrain : Stay back!

  Thorin Oakenshield : No, I will fight with you!

  Thrain : Azog means to kill us all! One by one, he will destroy the line of Durin! But by my life, he shall not take my son! You will stay here!

  Thorin Oakenshield : [voice-over]  My father led a charge towards the Dimrill Gate. He never returned.

  [Thrain charges into the orks' ranks with his bodyguard, and Thorin loses sight of him] 

  Thorin Oakenshield : [screams]  Father!

• Bilbo Baggins : You do know we're one short; where's Bofur?

  Thorin Oakenshield : If he's not here, we leave him behind.

  Balin : We have to, if we're to find the door before nightfall. We can risk no more delays.

• [Smaug is about to kill Thorin] 

  Thorin Oakenshield : [to Bilbo]  NOW!

  Bilbo Baggins : [jumping and grabbing the dwarvian lever]  Argh!

  [water spews out of the spouts] 

  Smaug : [roars; ready to breath fire]  Arrgh...

  [the water hits Smaug, cooling him off and distinguishing the fire in his lungs] 

• Thorin Oakenshield : You can listen to this naysayer, but I promise you this; If we succeed, all will share in the wealth of the mountain. You will have enough gold to rebuild Esgaroth ten times over!

• Thorin Oakenshield : I speak to the Master of the men of the Lake. Will you see the prophecy fulfilled? Will you share in the great wealth of our people? What say you?

  Master of Laketown : I say unto you - welcome! Welcome and thrice welcome, King under the Mountain!

• Thorin Oakenshield : I speak to the Master of the men of the Lake. Will you see the prophecy fulfilled? Will you share in the great wealth of our people?

• Bilbo Baggins : [whispering]  Everyone, climb into the barrels! Quickly!

  Dwalin : Are you mad? They'll find us!

  Bilbo Baggins : No, no they won't, I promise you. Please, please, you must trust me.

  [silence] 

  Thorin Oakenshield : Do as he says.

  [They do so, and Bilbo does a head count] 

  Bofur : [pokes his head out]  What do we do now?

  [All the dwarves poke their heads out] 

  Bilbo Baggins : Hold your breath.

  Bofur : Hold me breath? What do you mean...?

  [All the dwarves yell as Bilbo pulls the lever opening the trap door, spilling the barrels into the river] 

• Thorin Oakenshield : The Arkenstone lies half a world away, buried beneath the feet of a fire-breathing dragon.

  Gandalf : Yes, it does, which is why we are going to need a burglar.

• Gandalf : There is a house, it's not far from here, where we might take refuge.

  Thorin Oakenshield : Whose house? Are they friend or foe?

  Gandalf : Neither. He will help us, or he will kill us.

• Thorin Oakenshield : We are the dwarves of Erebor. We have come to reclaim our homeland. I remember this town and the great days of old. Fleets of boats lay at harbor, filled with silks and fine gems. This was no forsaken town on a lake! This was the center of all trade in the North. I would see those days return. I would relight the great forges of the dwarves and send wealth and riches flowing once more from the halls of Erebor!

• Thorin Oakenshield : [to Smaug]  I did not look to see you so easily outwitted! You have grown slow and fat in your dotage. Slug.

• Ori : [sees a glowing red light from inside the hidden door]  What about Bilbo?

  Thorin Oakenshield : Give him more time.

  Balin : Time to do what? To be killed?

  Thorin Oakenshield : [faces Balin; realises]  You're afraid.

  Balin : *Yes,* I am afraid!

  [approaches Thorin and points] 

  Balin : I fear for you! A sickness lies upon that treasure hoard!

  [Thorin is slack-jawed] 

  Balin : A sickness which drove your grandfather mad!

  Thorin Oakenshield : [turns away]  I am not my grandfather.

  Balin : You're not yourself! The Thorin *I* know would not hesitate to go in there--!

  Thorin Oakenshield : I will *not* risk this quest for the life of one... burglar.

  Balin : [appalled]  Bilbo. His *name* is Bilbo.

• [Thorin's Company has reached Erebor; they gaze out at a distant dilapidated city] 

  Bilbo Baggins : What is this place?

  Balin : It was once the City of Dale. Now it is a ruin. The Desolation of Smaug.

  Thorin Oakenshield : [looks to the sky]  The sun will soon reach midday. We must find the hidden door into the Mountain before it sets. This way!

  [walks away] 

  Bilbo Baggins : Wait!

  [Thorin stops to look at him] 

  Bilbo Baggins : Is this... the overlook? Gandalf said to meet him here. On no account were we to...

  Thorin Oakenshield : Do you see him? We have no time to wait upon the wizard. We're on our own. Come!

  [Thorin leads the Company away; Bilbo looks back at Dale in worry, then follows] 

• [Thorin is locked in Thranduil's dungeon; Balin speaks from a neighbouring cell] 

  Balin : Did he offer you a deal?

  Thorin Oakenshield : He did. I told him he could go îsh kakhfê ai-'d dûr-rugnu! Him and all his kin!

  Balin : [nods]  Well, that's that, then. A deal was our only hope.

  Thorin Oakenshield : [looks out heavenward; whispering]  Not our only hope.
