The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug quotes

View Quote Gloin: Here in lies the seventh 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: [observes the carving that held the Arkenstone] What's that above there?
Balin: The Arkenstone.
Bilbo: The Arkenstone. And what's it?
Thorin: That, Master Burglar, is why you are here.

View Quote Kili: [trying to be smooth] Aren't you going to search me? I could have anything down my trousers.
Tauriel: [coldly] Or nothing.

View Quote Legolas: It is not our fight.
Tauriel: It is our fight. It will not end here. With every victory, this evil will grow. If your father has his way, we will do nothing. We will hide within our walls, live our lives away from the light and let darkness descend. Are we not part of this world? Tell me, Mellon, when did we allow evil to become stronger than us?

View Quote Oin: [to Fili as Tauriel takes care of Kili's wound] I've heard tale of the wonders of Elvish medicine. That was a privilege to witness.
Kili: Tauriel...
Tauriel: Lie still.
Kili: You cannot be her. She is far away. She... she is far, far away from me. She walks in starlight in another world. It was just a dream. [holds her hand] Do you think she could have loved me?

View Quote Ori: [sees a red glow from the cave] What about Bilbo?
Thorin: Give him more time.
Balin: Time to do what? To be killed?!
Thorin: You are afraid?
Balin: Yes! I'm afraid. I fear for you. A sickness lies upon that treasure horde, a sickness which drove your grandfather mad.
Thorin: I am not my grandfather.
Balin: You're not yourself! The Thorin I know would not hesitate–
Thorin: I will not risk this quest for the life of one burglar.
Balin: Bilbo. His name is Bilbo.

View Quote Radagast: Wait, Gandalf, what if it's a trap?
Gandalf: Turn around, and don't come back. [Radagast leaves] It's undoubtedly a trap.
[Gandalf draws his sword and enters Dol Goldur, alone.]
Gandalf: [Quenya] The evil that is hidden here.... I command it to come forth! I command it reveal itself!
[Gandalf slams his staff into the ground and sends a light out. Further into Dol Guldur, the Orcs hear Gandal's incantation]
Azog: The Wizard has come.
Orc Lieutenant: He is lifting the spell...he will find us!
Azog: [grinning] Yes...he will.
[...]
[As Gandalf casts his spell again, it reveals Azog, who with a roar smashes Gandalf to the floor with his mace. Gandalf lies stunned as Azog cackles cruelly]
Azog: [mocking] You have come too late, Wizard! It is done! [Azog moves to deal the deathblow, but at the last, Gandalf uses a spell to keep the Orcs at bay]
Gandalf: Where is your master?! [Azog roars in frustration, but Gandalf's spell stops him attacking] WHERE IS HE?!
Azog: He is everywhere...we are legion!

View Quote Sigrid: Da, why are there dwarfs coming out of our toilet?
Tilda: Will they bring us luck?

View Quote Smaug: It's Oakenshield! That filthy dwarfish usurper! He sent you in here for the Arkenstone, didn't he?!
Bilbo: No! No, no, I don't know what you're talking about!
Smaug: Don't bother denying it! I guessed his foul purpose sometime ago. But it matters not. Oakenshield's quest will fail. The darkness is coming. It will spread to every corner of the land.
[In Dol Goldur, Gandalf is in a hanging cage. He looks down to see an army of Orcs leaving; in Lake-town, Bolg and his pack of Orcs sneak in]

View Quote Smaug: You are being used, Thief in the Shadows. You were only ever a means to an end. The coward Oakenshield has weighed the value of your life and found it... worth... NOTHING!
Bilbo: No... no, you're lying!
Smaug: What did he promise you, a share of the treasure, as if it was his to give? I will not part with a single coin! Not one PIECE of it! My teeth are swords! My claws are spears! MY WINGS... ARE A HURRICANE!
[Bilbo looks up and sees one of Smaug's scales missing]
Bilbo: [whispers] So it is true. The Black Arrow found its mark.
Smaug: [hears him] What did you say?!
Bilbo: [stammers] I-I was just saying, your reputation precedes you, O Smaug the Tyrannical. Truly, you have no equal on this earth. [Bilbo looks down to see the Arkenstone lying near his feet]
Smaug: I am almost tempted to let you take it, if only to see Oakenshield suffer. Watch it destroy him. Watch it corrupt his heart and drive him mad. But I think not. I think our little game ends here. So tell me, thief... how do you choose to die?
[Smaug prepares to breathe fire, but Bilbo puts the Ring on his finger and slips away, invisible, as Smaug breathes fire]

View Quote Thorin: I know my father came to see you before the Battle of Moria. What did you say to him?
Gandalf: I urged him to march upon Erebor, to rally the seven armies of the dwarves. To destroy the dragon and take back the Lonely Mountain, and I would say the same to you. Take back your homeland.
Thorin: This is no chance meeting is it, Gandalf?
Gandalf: No, it is not. The Lonely Mountain troubles me, Thorin. That dragon has sat there long enough, sooner or later darker minds will turn towards Erebor. I ran into some unsavory characters whilst traveling along the Greenway. They mistook me for a vagabond.
Thorin: I imagine they regretted that.
Gandalf: One of them was carrying a message. [he unrolls the message and slides it across the table to Thorin] It is Black Speech. [Thorin looks at Gandalf with unease] A promise of payment.
Thorin: For what?
Gandalf: Your head. Someone wants you dead. Thorin, you can wait no longer. You are the heir to the throne of Durin. Unite the armies of the dwarves, together you have the might and power to retake Erebor. Summon a meeting of the seven dwarf families, demand they stand by their oath.
Thorin: The seven armies swore that oath to the one who wields the King's jewel, the Arkenstone. It is the only thing that will unite them, and in case you have forgotten, that jewel was stolen by Smaug.
[Gandalf notices the two men that had been watching Thorin earlier get up and leave the bar]
Gandalf: What if I were to help you reclaim it?
Thorin: How? The Arkenstone lies half a world away, buried beneath the feet of a fire breathing dragon.
Gandalf: Yes, it does. Which is why we're going to need a burglar.
[scenes changes to twelve months later, with Bilbo peeking out of a mountain ledge]

View Quote [After Bard frees the dwarves and Bilbo from the barrels, they head toward Bard's home.]
Bilbo: What is this place?
Thorin: This, Master Baggins, is the world of Men.

View Quote [Azog approaches a ledge next to a large crevice in Dol Guldur. The Necromancer appears, and the two converse in the Black Speech]
Necromancer: We grow in number. We grow in strength. You will lead my armies.
Azog: What of Oakenshield?
Necromancer: War is coming.
Azog: You promised me his head!
Necromancer: Death will come to all!

View Quote [Bilbo is in the treasure room. After he picks up a cup a pile of treasure slides off and sees Smaug, asleep. Bilbo tries to sneak past the sleeping dragon but he awakens. Bilbo slips on the Ring and disappears. Smaug rises out of the gold, sniffs, and looks around, growling.]
Smaug: Well... thief. [sniffs] I smell you. I hear your breath. I feel your air. Where are you? Where are you?
[Bilbo runs through the gold, Smaug senses him and chases after him. Bilbo hides behind a pillar]
Smaug: Come now. Don't be shy. Step into the light.
[Smaug walks around the pillar toward where Bilbo is hiding]
Smaug: There is something about you. Something you carry, something made of gold... but far... more... PRECIOUS...
[Bilbo is assaulted by Sauron's eye and pulls off the Ring]
Smaug: [sees him] There you are, Thief in the Shadows.
Bilbo: I did not come to steal from you, O Smaug the Unassessably Wealthy. I merely wanted to gaze upon your magnificence. To see if you really were as great as the old tales say. [nervous] I did not believe them.
Smaug: [Draws himself up from the hoard and into full view] And do you NOW?!
Bilbo: Truly, the tales and songs fall utterly short of your enormity, O Smaug, the Stupendous.
Smaug: Do you think flattery will keep you alive?
Bilbo: N...no.
Smaug: No indeed. You seem familiar with my name, but I don't remember smelling your kind before. Who are you and where do you come from, may I ask?
Bilbo: [sees the Arkenstone; tries to distract Smaug] I... I come from under the hill.
Smaug: "Underhill"?
Bilbo: [nods nervously] And under hills and over hills my path has led... and through the air! I am he who walks unseen.
Smaug: [drawing close] Impressive. What else do you claim to be?
Bilbo: I-I am... Luck-wearer. Riddle-maker.
Smaug: Lovely titles. Go on.
Bilbo: Barrel-rider.
Smaug: "Barrels"? Now that is interesting! And what about your little dwarf friends? Where are they hiding?
Bilbo: [feigning confusion] D... Dwarves? No. No, no dwarves here, you've got that all wrong--
Smaug: Oh, I don't think so, Barrel-rider! They sent you in here to do their dirty work, while they skulk about outside!
Bilbo: Truly you are mistaken, O Smaug, Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities.
Smaug: You have nice manners, for a thief and a LIAR! I know the smell and taste of dwarf, no one better! It is the gold! They are drawn to treasure like flies to dead flesh!
[Bilbo tries to grab the Arkenstone, but Smaug knocks it away and begins chasing Bilbo]
Smaug: Did you think I did not know this day would come?! That a pack of canting dwarves would come crawling back to the mountain?!
[As Smaug knocks over pillars, the dwarves outside hear the noise]
Dori: Was that an earthquake?
Balin: That, my lad... was a dragon.

View Quote [dwarves and Bilbo climbing the Lonely Mountain, and arriving at Dale. A thrush flies by them.]
Bilbo: So quiet.
Balin: Wasn't always like this. Once, these slopes were lined with woodlands. The trees were filled with birdsong.

View Quote [Gandalf and Radagast are examining an empty tomb in Rhuduar]
Radgast: These are dark spells, Gandalf. Old and full of hate. Who's buried here?
Gandalf: If he had a name, it's long since been lost. He would be remembered as a servant of evil. One of a number. [gestures to the eight other empty tombs] One of Nine.
