Quotes 

  • Gandalf : [to army]  You have but one question to answer: How shall this day end?

  • 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] 

  • [last lines] 

    [Bilbo hears a knocking at his door] 

    Old Bilbo : No, thank you! We don't want any more visitors, well-wishers, or distant relations!

    Gandalf : What about very old friends?

    [a pleased Bilbo goes to greet Gandalf] 

  • [Thorin attempts to throw Bilbo from Erebor's roughly rebuilt ramparts] 

    Gandalf : If you don't like my burglar, then please, don't damage him! Return him to me!

  • Gandalf : You are a very fine fellow, Mr Baggins, and I am very fond of you. But you are really just a little fellow, in a wide world.

  • Gandalf : Dragon sickness is a malady that affects all of us.

    [looks at Bilbo] 

    Gandalf : Well, almost all of us.

  • Gandalf : [From trailer]  This was the last move in a master plan. A plan long in the making.

  • Gandalf : My lord! Dispatch this force to Ravenhill, the Dwarves are about to be overrun! Thorin must be warned!

    Thranduil : By all means, warn him. I have spent enough Elvish blood in defense of this accursed land. No more!

    [leaves] 

    Gandalf : [desperate]  Thranduil!

  • Dain : Good morning. How are we all? I have a wee proposition, if you don't mind giving me a few moments of your time. Would you consider... JUST SODDING OFF! All ye, right now!

    Bard : Stand fast!

    Gandalf : Come now, Lord Dain.

    Dain : Gandalf the Grey. Tell this rabble to leave or I'll water the ground with their blood.

    Gandalf : There is no need for war between Dwarves, Men, and Elves. A legion of Orcs march on the mountain. Stand your army down.

    Dain : I will not stand down before any elf! Not least this faithless Woodland sprite! He wishes nothing but ill upon my people! If he chooses to stand between me and my kin, I'll split his pretty head open! See if he's still smirking then!

    Thranduil : He's clearly mad like his cousin.

    Dain : Ya hear that, lads? We're on! Let's give these bastards a good hammering!

  • 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.

  • Gandalf : Don't underestimate the evil of gold. Gold over which a serpent has long brooded. Dragon-sickness seeps into the hearts of all who come near this Mountain.

  • Gandalf : The king is dead.

    Balin : [raises sword]  Long live the king!

  • Gandalf : He is here.

    Galadriel : Yes. The darkness has returned.

  • Gandalf : I saw them with my own eyes, rank upon rank of Moria Orcs. You must summon our friends, bird and beast. The battle for the Mountain is about to begin.

  • Alfrid : No, no. No! Oi! You! Pointy hat! Yes. You. We don't want no tramps, beggars nor vagabonds around here. We got enough trouble without the likes of you. Off you go. On your horse.

    Gandalf : Who's in charge here?

  • Gandalf : You must set aside your petty grievances with the Dwarves. War is coming! The cesspits of Dol Guldur have been emptied. You're all in mortal danger.

    Bard : What are you talking about?

    Thranduil : I can see you know nothing of Wizards. They are like winter thunder on a wild wind rolling in from a distance, breaking hard in alarm. But sometimes a storm is just a storm.

    Gandalf : Not - this time. Armies of Orcs are on the move. These are fighters! They have been bred for war. Our enemy has summoned his full strength.

    Thranduil : Why show his hand now?

    Gandalf : Because we forced him. We forced him when the Company of Thorin Oakenshield set out to reclaim their homeland. The Dwarves were never meant to reach Erebor. Azog the Defiler was sent to kill them. His master seeks control of the Mountain. Not just for the treasure within but for where it lies, its strategic position. This is the gateway to reclaiming the lands of Angmar in the North. If that fell kingdom should rise again, Rivendell, Lrien, the Shire, even Gondor itself, will fall.

  • 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.

  • Gandalf : Our enemy has summoned his full strength.

    Thranduil : Why show his hand now?

    Gandalf : Because we forced him! We forced him when the Company of Thorin Oakenshield set out to reclaim their homeland. The dwarves were never meant to reach Erebor. Azog the Defiler was sent to kill them. His master seeks control of the Mountain. Not just for the treasure within, but for where it lies; its strategic position. This is the gateway to reclaiming the lands of Angmar in the north. If that fell kingdom should rise again, Rivendell, Lorien, the Shire, even Gondor itself will fall!

  • Gandalf : I need a horse.

    Radagast : What? Gandalf! Where are you going?

    Gandalf : To warn Erebor. They have no idea what is coming. I saw them with my own eyes, rank upon rank of Moria Orcs. You must summon our friends, bird and beast. The battle for the Mountain is about to begin.

    [walks away] 

    Radagast : Wait!

    [Gandalf turns back; Radagast approaches and hands out his staff] 

    Radagast : Take this.

    [Gandalf does so] 

    Radagast : If what you say is true, then you'll need it more than I.

    Gandalf : [shakes Radagast's hand]  Thank you.

    [heads off into the forest] 

    Radagast : Word of warning, hey? It can be a bit dicky sometimes! You just have to twiddle with the top! But... I expect you'll manage.
