"Tolkien has become a monster, devoured by his own popularity and absorbed into the absurdity of our time. The chasm between the beauty and seriousness of the work, and what it has become, has overwhelmed me. The commercialization has reduced the aesthetic and philosophical impact of the creation to nothing. There is only one solution for me: to turn my head away. They eviscerated the book by making it an action movie for young people aged 15 to 25."
"You haven't aged a day."
"Keep it secret. Keep it safe."
"Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks! I am not trying to rob you! ... I'm trying to help you."

"Fly, you fools!"
"The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost, for none now live who remember it."
"In the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the Dark Lord Sauron forged, in secret, a Master Ring to control all others. And into this Ring he poured all his cruelty, his malice and his will to dominate all life. One Ring to rule them all."
"History became legend. Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the Ring passed out of all knowledge."

"I am old, Gandalf. I know I don't look it, but I'm beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread. I need a holiday, a very long holiday. And I don't expect that I shall return. In fact, I mean not to."
"Alas, eleventy one years is far too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable Hobbits. ... I don't know half of you half as well as I should like and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."
"I've thought of an ending for my book. "And he lived happily ever after...to the end of his days.""
"Boromir: One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire, ash and dust. The very air you breathe is a poisonous fume. Not with ten thousand men could you do this. It is folly!"
"Boromir: I would have followed you, my brother...my captain...my king."
"Elrond: Strangers from distant lands, friends of old, you've been summoned here to answer the threat of Mordor. Middle Earth stands upon the brink of destruction; none can escape it. You will unite or you will fall. Each race is bound to this fate, this one doom."

"Sam: Let him go! Or I'll have you, longshanks!"
"Saruman: Concealed within his fortress, the Lord of Mordor sees all. His gaze pierces cloud, shadow, earth, and flesh. You know of what I speak, Gandalf. A Great Eye, lidless, wreathed in flame."
"Sauron: You cannot hide. I see you! There is no life in the void...only death."
"Sauron: Build me an army worthy of Mordor!"

"And thus it was a Fourth Age of Middle-earth began. And the Fellowship of the Ring, though eternally bound by friendship and love, was ended."
"Thirteen months to the day since Gandalf sent us on our long journey, we found ourselves looking upon a familiar sight: We were home."
"How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand...there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep, that have taken hold."
"I do not fear death."
"Sons of Gondor! Of Rohan! My brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship. But it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of Men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand! Men of the West!"
"For Frodo."
"[after being crowned as King of Gondor] This day does not belong to one man, but to all. Let us together rebuild this world that we may share in the days of peace."
"[last words to the four Hobbits of the Fellowship, following Mordor's defeat] My friends...you bow to no one."
"[To Pippin, in the extended edition] They guard it because they have hope. Faith and fading hope that one day it will flower. That a king will come and this city will be as it once was before it fell into decay. The old wisdom that was borne out of the West was forsaken. Kings made tombs more splendid than the houses of the living and counted the names of their descent dearer than the names of their sons. Childless lords sat in aged halls musing on heraldry or in high, cold towers asking questions of the stars. And so the people of Gondor fell into ruin. The line of Kings failed, the White Tree withered, and the rule of Gondor was given over to lesser men."
"[to Pippin]: Now, listen carefully. Lord Denethor is Boromir's father. To give him news of his beloved son's death would be most unwise. And do not mention Frodo, or the Ring. And say nothing of Aragorn either. [hesitates] In fact, it's better if you don't speak at all, Peregrin Took."
"We come to it at last; the great battle of our time."
"The board is set. The pieces are moving."
"Send these foul beasts into the abyss!"
"This is no place for a Hobbit!"
"[after Pippin kills an Orc] Guard of the Citadel, indeed."
"[to soldiers panicking from the attacking Ringwraiths] Hold them back! Do not give into fear! Stand to your posts! FIGHT!"
"You are soldiers of Gondor! No matter what comes through those gates, you will stand your ground!"
"There's plenty for the both of us. May the best dwarf win."
"[after Legolas takes down an oliphaunt and its crew] That still only counts as one!"
"Certainty of death. Small chance of success. What are we waiting for?"
"[after Aragorn kills the envoy at the Black Gate; extended edition only] I guess that concludes negotiations..."
"They cursed us. 'Murderer', they called us. They cursed us, and drove us away! And we wept, precious. We wept to be so alone. And we forgot the taste of bread, the sound of trees, the softness of the wind. We even forgot our own name. My precious."
"Naughty little fly! Why does it cry? Caught in a web! Soon you'll be...eaten."
"Clever hobbits to climb so high!"
"[to Shelob, who's caught Frodo] Let him go, you filth! Let him go! You will not touch him again! Come here and finish it!"
"[kills an Orc] That's for Frodo! [kills another Orc] That's for the Shire! [kills the third Orc] And that's for my old Gaffer!!!"
"[to Frodo in Mount Doom] Give me your hand! Take my hand! No! Don't you let go. Don't let go. Reach!"
"[last lines] Well, I'm back."
"Denethor: [to Gandalf before dropping the torch to set himself and Faramir on fire; extended edition only] You may triumph on the field of battle for a day, but against the power that is risen in the East, there is no victory!"
"Arwen: From the ashes, a fire shall be woken. A light from the shadow shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken. The crownless again shall be king."
"Legolas: [talking to Aragorn] The stars are veiled. Something stirs in the East, a sleepless malice...The Eye of the Enemy is moving. [reacts with horror as he senses Pippin looking into the Palantir] He is here!"
"Éomer: [to Éowyn, about Merry] You know as little of war as that Hobbit. When the fear takes him, and the blood, and the screams, and the horrors of battle take hold, do you think he would stand and fight? He would flee. And it would be right to do so. War is the province of Men, Éowyn."

"We be nice to them, if they be nice to us."
"It's me. It's your Sam. Don't you know your Sam?"
"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand, I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something...That there's some good in the world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for."
"The world is changing. Who now has the strength to stand against the armies of Isengard...and Mordor? To stand against the might of Sauron and Saruman and the union of the two towers? Together, my Lord Sauron, we shall rule this Middle-Earth. The old world will burn in the fires of industry. The forests will fall. A new order will rise. We will drive the machine of war with the sword and the spear and the iron fist of the Orc. We have only to remove those who oppose us."
"A new power is rising! Its victory is at hand! This night, the land will be stained with the blood of Rohan! March to Helm's Deep! Leave none alive! To war! There will be no dawn...for Men."
"Your leech-craft would have had me crawling on all fours like a beast!"
"So it begins."
"So much death... what can Men do against such reckless hate?"
"Let this be the hour when we draw swords together! Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red dawn!"
"Elrond: He will come to death, an image of the splendour of the kings of men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world. But you, my daughter, you will linger on in darkness and in doubt, as nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Here you will dwell, bound to your grief, under the fading trees, until all the world is changed and the long years of your life are utterly spent."

"My dear Frodo, you asked me once if I had told you everything there was to know about my adventures. And while I can honestly say I have told you the truth, I may not have told you all of it. I am old now, Frodo. I'm not the same hobbit as I once was. I think it is time for you to know what really happened. It began long ago in a land far away to the east, the like of which you will not find in the world today. There was the city of Dale, its markets known far and wide, full of the bounties of vine and vale, peaceful and prosperous. For this city lay before the doors of the greatest kingdom in Middle-earth; Erebor, stronghold of Thrór, King under the Mountain and mightiest of the Dwarf-lords. Thrór ruled with utter surety, never doubting his house would endure, for his line lay secure in the lives of his son and grandson. Ah, Frodo, Erebor! Built deep within the mountain itself, the beauty of this fortress city was legend. Its wealth lay in the earth, in precious gems hewn from rock and in great seams of gold running like rivers through stone. The skill of the Dwarves was unequaled, fashioning objects of great beauty out of diamond, emerald, ruby, and sapphire. Ever they delved deep, down into the dark and that is where they found it, the Heart of the Mountain! The Arkenstone. Thrór named it the King's Jewel. He took it as a sign, a sign that his right to rule was divine. All would pay homage to him, even the great Elven King, Thranduil. But the years of peace and plenty were not to last. Slowly, the days turned sour and the watchful nights closed in. Thrór's love of gold had grown too fierce. A sickness had begun to grow within him. It was a sickness of the mind. And where sickness thrives, bad things will follow. The first they heard was a noise like a hurricane coming down from the North; the pines on the mountain creaked and cracked in the hot, dry wind. It was a fire-drake from the North. Smaug had come! Such wanton death was dealt that day, for this city of Men was nothing to Smaug. His eye was set on another prize. For dragons covet gold with a dark and fierce desire. Erebor was lost - for a dragon will guard his plunder as long as he lives. Thranduil would not risk the lives of his kin against the wrath of the dragon. No help came from the Elves that day...or any day since. Robbed of their homeland, the Dwarves of Erebor wandered the wilderness. A once mighty people brought low. The young Dwarf prince took work where he could find it, laboring in the villages of Men. But always he remembered the mountain smoke beneath the moon, the trees like torches blazing bright, for he had seen dragon-fire in the sky and a city turned to ash. And he never forgave...and he never forgot."
"That, my dear Frodo, is where I come in, for quite by chance and the will of a Wizard, fate decided I would become part of this tale. It began...well, it began as you might expect. In a hole in a ground, there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole full of worms and oozy smells. This was a hobbit-hole and that means good food, a warm hearth, and all the comforts of home."
"I'm going on an adventure!"
"[to the trolls, about cooking the dwarves] Well, have you smelled them? You're going to need something a lot stronger than sage before you plate this lot up."
"You will have to do without pocket handkerchiefs, and a great many other things, before we reach our journey's end, Bilbo Baggins. You were born to the rolling hills and little rivers of the Shire, but home is now behind you; the world is ahead."
"[to the three Trolls] THE DAWN WILL TAKE YOU ALL!"
"Erebor, the Lonely Mountain. The last of the great Dwarf kingdoms of Middle-earth."
"Enough! If I say Bilbo Baggins is a burglar, then a burglar he is!"
"What do you mean? Do you mean to wish me a good morning, or do you mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not? Or perhaps you mean to say that you feel good this particular morning? Or are you simply stating that it is a morning to be good on?"
"True courage is about knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one."
"Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I've found it is the small things; everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps it is because I am afraid... and he gives me courage."
"[to Bilbo] Don't mind him, laddie. Thorin has more cause than most to hate Orcs. After the dragon took the Lonely Mountain, King Thror tried to reclaim the ancient dwarf kingdom of Moria...but our enemy had got there first. Moria had been taken by legions of Orcs, led by the most vile of all their race, Azog the Defiler. The giant Gundabad Orc had sworn to wipe out the line of Durin. He began by beheading the King. Thrain, Thorin's father, was driven mad by grief. He went missing, taken prisoner or killed; we did not know. We were leaderless; defeat and death were upon us. That is when I saw him; the young dwarf prince facing down the Pale Orc. He stood alone against this terrible foe, his armour rent, wielding nothing but an oaken branch as a shield...Azog the Defiler learned that day that the line of Durin would not be so easily broken. Our forces rallied and drove the Orcs back; our enemy had been defeated...but there was no feast nor song that night, for our dead were beyond the count of grief. We few had survived and I thought to myself then 'There is one I could follow. There is one I could call King'."
"If we have read these signs, do you not think others will have read them too? Rumors have begun to spread. The dragon Smaug has not been seen for 60 years...Eyes look east to the mountain assessing, wondering, weighing the risk...Perhaps the vast wealth of our people now lies unprotected. Do we sit back while others claim what is rightfully ours? Or do we seize this chance to take back Erebor?!"
"Loyalty, honor, a willing heart, I can ask no more than that."
"I would take each and every one of these dwarves over an army from the Iron Hills."
"[about the Key to the Hidden Door] From my grandfather to my father, this has come to me. They dreamt of the day the Dwarves of Erebor would reclaim their homeland. There is no choice, Balin. Not for me."
"[Radagast fails to cure a sick hedgehog, despite trying numerous cures] I don't understand why it's not working! It's not as if it's witchcraft! [pauses] Witchcraft. Oh, but it is. A dark and powerful magic..."
"[showing Gandalf a Morgul blade he recovered from Dol Guldur] That is not from the world of the living."
"What has it got in its nasty little pocketses?"
"Baggins! Thief! Curse it and crush it! We hates it FOREVER!!!"

"I was going to tell you. I...found something in the goblin tunnels. [Gandalf: What did you find?] ...My courage."
"I promised that I would do this, and I think that I must try."
"Truly the tales and songs fall utterly short of your enormity, O Smaug the stupendous..."
"I... I come from under the hill. [Smaug: Underhill?] And under hills and over hills my path has led. And through the air! I am he who walks unseen."
"Truly you are mistaken, O Smaug, Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities."
"I was just saying, your reputation precedes you, O Smaug the Tyrannical. Truly, you have no equal on this earth."
"King? There is no king under the mountain nor will there ever be. None would dare enter Erebor, whilst the dragon lives."
"Do not think I won't kill you dwarf! It would be my pleasure."
"Such is the nature of evil. Out there in the vast ignorance of the world, it festers and spreads. A shadow that grows in the dark. A sleepless malice as black as the oncoming wall of night. So it ever was, so will it always be. In time all foul things come forth."
"It is a crime to wander in my realm without leave, if you forget, you are using the road my people made."
"It has been a long time since Thorin Oakenshield traveled so far east, for what purpose? Where does your journey end?"
"Some imagine that a noble quest is at hand. A quest to reclaim a homeland, and slay a dragon. I myself suspect a more prosaic motive. Attempted burglary or something of that ilk."
"You have found a way in. You seek that which would bestow upon you, the right to rule. The King's Jewel. The Arkenstone. It is precious to you beyond measure, I understand that. There are gems in the Mountain that I, too, desire... White gems, of pure starlight. I offer you my help. I will let you go, if you but return what is mine."
"Do not talk to me of dragon fire! I know its wrath and ruin. I have faced the Great Serpents of the North! [Reveals severe burns on the left side of his face, before it fades back to normal when he backs away] I warned your grandfather of what his greed would summon...but he would not listen. You are just like him."
"Stay here if you will, and rot. 100 years is a mere blink in the life of an Elf. I am patient, I can wait."
"Other lands are not my concern. The fortunes of the world will rise and fall but here in this kingdom we will endure."
"Had the aim of Men been truer that day, much would have been different."
"We are the Dwarves of Erebor. We have come to reclaim our homeland."
"If this is to end in fire, then we will all burn together!"
"[taunting Smaug] I do not think to see you so easily outwitted! You have grown slow and fat in your dotage...slug."
"I will not risk this quest for the life of one...burglar."
"I can not risk the fate of this quest for the sake of one Dwarf... not even my own Kin."
"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 aid. But you turned your back! You turned away from the suffering of my people, and the inferno that destroyed us, ihm rheid ahm rhad al sul!"
"Do it again and you're dead."
"If you awaken that beast, he'll destroy us all."
"The Lord of Silver Fountains. The King of Carven Stone. The King Beneath the Mountain. Shall come into his own. And the bells shall ring in gladness, at the Mountain King's return. But all shall fail in sadness, and the Lake will shine and burn."
"All of you! Listen to me! You must listen! Have you forgotten what happened to Dale? Have you forgotten those who died in the firestorm? And for what purpose? The blind ambition of a Mountain King, so riven by greed, he cannot see beyond his own desire!"
"[when Bofur, Oin, Fili and Kili show up at his home] No. I'm done with dwarves. Go away."
"[Talking to his daughter while taking the hidden black arrow] Not if I kill it first."
"It never ceases to amaze me: the courage of Hobbits..."
"Bilbo? If there is indeed a live dragon down there... don't waken it."
"[climbing out of a toilet] If you speak of this to anyone... I'll rip your arms off."
"Well, thief. I smell you. I hear your breath. I feel your air. Where are you? Where are you? Come now. Don't be shy. Step into the light. Hmm. There is something about you. Something you carry, something made of gold... but far... more... precious."
"Do you think flattery will keep you alive? [Bilbo: ...No, no.] 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?"
"Lovely titles. Go on. [Bilbo: Barrel rider.] Barrels? Now that is interesting. And what about your little dwarf friends? Where are they hiding?"
"Oh, I don't think so, Barrel-Rider. They sent you in here to do their dirty work while they skulk about outside."
"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. Did you think I did not know this day would COME? That a pack of canting dwarves would come crawling back to the MOUNTAIN?!"
"The King Under the Mountain is dead! I took his throne. I ate his people like a wolf among sheep. I kill where I wish, when I wish. My armour is iron! NO BLADE CAN PIERCE ME!"
"It's Oakenshield... that filthy dwarvish usuper! He sent you in here for the Arkenstone, didn't he?"
"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."
"You are being used, Thief in the Shadows. You are only ever a means to an end. The coward Oakenshield has weighed the value of your life and found it worth NOTHING."
"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!"
"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?"
"YOU WILL BURN!"
"Flee. Flee. Run for your lives! There is... nowhere to hide."
"You think you can deceive me, barrel-rider? You have come from Laketown. This is some sordid scheme hatched between these filthy dwarves and those miserable tub-trading Lake-men. Those sniveling cowards with their longbows and black arrows! Perhaps it is time I paid them a visit."
"You care about them, do you? Good. Then you can watch them DIE."
"You will take NOTHING from me, dwarf. I laid low your warriors of old. I instill terror in the hearts of men. I am King under the Mountain."
"REVENGE?! REVENGE?! I WILL SHOW YOU REVENGE!"
"I...AM...FIRE. I...AM...DEATH."
"Tell me, Mellon, when did we allow evil to become stronger than us?"
"You like killing things, Orc? You like death? Then let me give it to you!"
"There is no light, Wizard... that can defeat darkness."
"Beyond darkness... beyond desolation... lies the greatest danger of all."

"Bain. Look at me. You, look at me. (grunts) A little to your left. That's it. Ah! Bain! Hold on!"
"[To Thorin] You've won the Mountain. Is that not enough?"
"[Explaining why he has brought the Arkenstone to Thranduil and Bard] I know that dwarves can be obstinate and pigheaded and difficult. And 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."
"[To the company] If any of you ever pass through Bag End, tea is at four. There's plenty of it. You are welcome any time. Oh, uh...don't bother knocking."
"I will not hide... ...behind a wall of stone... ...while others fight our battles for us! It is not in my blood, Thorin."
"He doesn't have any jambags!"
"Watch out!"
"TAURIEL!!!"
"I'm gonna kill that piece of filth!"
"[To his company] I have no right to ask this of any of you...but will you follow me...one last time?"
"[Roars] TO RAVENHILL!"
"[To Bilbo, last words before dying] 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."
"THROW HIM FROM THE RAMPART!"
"No. It is not. We are sons of Durin. And Durin's Folk do not flee from a fight."
"(screaming, yelling, shouting at once)"
"(To Legolas) Legolas, your mother loved you. More than anyone. More than life."
"[From trailer] You have but one question to answer...how shall this day end?!"
"You're not making a very splendid figure as King Under The Mountain, are you, Thorin, son of Thrain!"
"You're a very fine person, Mr. Baggins. And I'm very fond of you. But you're only quite a little fellow...in a wide world after all."
"Thranduil! This is madness!"
"Are you in need of assistance, my Lady?"
"Go now! Leave Sauron to me."
"[Appearing at the head of an army of dwarves] Good mornin'! How are we all? I have a wee proposition, if ye wouldn't mind giving me a few moments of yer time. Would you consider...JUST SODDING OFF?! All o' ye, right now!"
"What took ye so long?!"
"Gandalf the Grey. Tell this rabble to leave or I'll water the ground with their blood."
"I will not stand down before any Elf! [indicates Thranduil] 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!"
"[To Thranduil] You think I'd give a dead dog for your threats, ya pointy-eared princess?"
"Thorin, ye cannot do this. Ye're our king!"
"Ye're all mad bastards. [dodges the war chariot wheel's blades] How will ye make it?"
"[As Azog's army emerges from beneath the mountains] Aw, come on!"
"[Theatrical version] The hordes of Hell are upon us! To battle! To battle, sons of Durin!"
"[Extended edition] The hordes of Hell are upon us! Fight to the death!"
"[As Thorin and Company charge out of gate of Erebor] TO THE KING! TO THE KING!"
"May Durin save ye all."
"An' how do ye plan t' fight yer way singlehanded t' Ravenhill?"
"[To Thorin] You sit here in these vast halls, with a crown upon your head - and yet you are lesser now than you have ever been."
"Any man who wants to give their last...FOLLOW ME!"

"Dear me, no. We hobbits are plain, quiet folk. Adventures make one late for dinner."
"No hat, no stick, no pipe, not even a pocket handkerchief. How can one survive?"
"I am Mr. Bilbo Baggins. I've lost my dwarves, my wizard and my way."
"To Gandalf: As per your instructions, I am keeping this log of our journey through Mirkwood Forest. I shall make good use of it someday as a basis for my memoirs, which I intend to call: There and Back Again: A Hobbit's Holiday. The days are terrible, and the nights are impossible, for we are hungry and thirsty. The berries which grow here are hideous. Everything about these woods is unpleasant. One day, we decided someone should climb to the top of the tallest tree and have a look. I couldn't argue. My contract is vague on several points. There are moments which can change a person for all time. And I suddenly wondered if I would ever see my snug hobbit hole again. I wondered if I actually wanted to."
"Now, you are all free. I know the spiders' poisons have made you weak. But you must follow me. Quickly!"
"[while smuggling the Dwarves in barrels] Oh, stop complaining! I never promised to burgle you first class accommodations."
"We were fed, fattened, given supplies, and two weeks later found us nearing the end of our journey. And chances were it would be a very horrible end, indeed."
"You think it's my job to go in first? I've already gotten you out of two messes not in the original bargain. And who will come with me?"
"[in his mind] Now you're in for it at last, Bilbo Baggins. Why are you here? You've no use for dragon treasures. Feel the worm's heat, Mr. Baggins? A few more steps and you shall see the old dragon Smaug at last. You can still turn back, you know. But to go on, to take those steps, that would be the bravest of all moments. Whatever happens afterwards is nothing. Yes, here is where you fight your real battle, Mr. Bilbo Baggins. Do you go back?"
"[first lines of the film; narrating] In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Many ages ago, when this ancient planet was not quite so ancient, long before men recorded his history, here was the time of Middle Earth, where men shared his days with elves, dwarves, wizards, goblins, dragons and... hobbits. In the lands of Middle Earth, in an area known as the Shire, there was a village named Hobbiton. There, in a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, nor a dry, bare, sandy hole. It was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort."
"ENOUGH! I am Gandalf... and Gandalf means ME!"
"Always remember, Bilbo, when your heart wants lifting, think of pleasant things."
"Dawn take you all, and be stone to you!"
"My dear Elrond, your hospitality is magnificent. The food, the vine, the stories, the music."
"Your story, Bilbo, has the ring of truth. Yes, it rings true. You need say no more."
"Bless us and splash us, my preciousǃ"
"Thief, thiefǃ Bagginsǃ We hates it, hates it foreverǃ"
"Friends, we are gathered here at the home of this most excellent hobbit. May the hair on his toes never fall outǃ"
"Our lookout has found something."
"The goblins are upon us! Save the ponies from the goblins!"
"Thorin, at your service. We did not mean to trespass. We were merely seeking shelter from the storm."
"If these be our last moments, men, let us live them with honour."
"[to Thorin] I am Bard the guardsman. We are honored by your presence. Your grandfather lives in our songs and legends. What help we can offer will be yours, and we trust to your gratitude when the dragon Smaug is killed and your kingdom is regained."
"[as Smaug attacks Laketown] Black arrow! You've never failed me, and I've always recovered you. I had you from my father, and he from of old. If ever you came from the forges of the true King under the Mountain, go now and speed well!"
"[to Gollum] Begone and trouble me no moreǃ If you touch me ever again, you will be cast yourself into the Fire of Doomǃ"
"Oh, Sam, what have I said, what have I done?"
"Hear you now a story of good against evil. An epic that has its beginning and an ending and ends at a beginning. Listen as we speak of the fall of a lord of darkness, and the return of a king of light. Concern yourselves with armies and wizards, phantoms and emperors, cloud-capped towers and bloody fields of horrendous carnage. Consider no less than the cataclysmic transformation of that world of wonder and magic to the world we know now, of Man. What hero, you might ask, is mighty enough to be worthy of such cosmic metamophosis?"
"[to the Witch-king] You cannot enter hereǃ Go back to the abyss prepared for youǃ Go backǃ Fall to the nothingness that awaits you and your masterǃ"
"If you keep the book of the Hobbits as Frodo asked, ages from now when your stories are still told, there will be those humans who might well wonder, "Is there Hobbit in me?""
"Wicked masterǃ Wicked master cheats us, gollumǃ He musn't go that way. He musn't hurt the Preciousǃ Give it to Gollumǃ Yesǃ Give it, give it, give it to usǃ"
"Don't kill usǃ Don't hurt usǃ Let us live. Please, let us live just a little longer. Lostǃ Lostǃ We're lost. And when Precious goes, we'll die. Yes, all of us, die into the dust. Die into the dustǃ"
"I could claim you, Ringǃ I would be Samwise the Strongǃ All could be mine if I but claim thee, Ringǃ"
"Will there be no room for Hobbits in this new age of Man?"
"Riders of the Mark, Brothers of Rohan, arise!"
"Rohan still stands!"
"You do not seek an alliance, you seek a throne."
"You know nothing of war."
"We have faced down death, famine, war, to hold these lands together."
"When the songs of this day are sung, when the names of its heroes are read, we will stand!"
"I pledge to fight for my king."
"Our fathers speak as if I were not even in the room."
"It isn't that I don't wish to marry you, Wulf. I don't wish to marry any man."
"The boy I knew would never wish for war."
"I'm the fastest rider you have."
"We have to get our people out!"
"I know you feel like you've lost everything, but I'm still with you, father. I'm still here."
"I am bride to no one."
"You may wear a crown upon your head, but that does not make you a king!"
"Hèra, daughter of Helm. I, Wulf, seek your hand in marriage."
"He's dead! You will pay for this with your life."
"The boy you knew is gone."
"Your people will perish."
"First, I will kill your brothers, then your father. With or without honor, I will take the throne."
"You think I am afraid of you? [Hèra: You should be.]"
"We've come with an offer to strengthen Rohan."
"You do not command the royalty you think you do."
"You will live to regret this, old man."
"[narrating] All Middle-earth knows the tale of the War of the Ring. But 200 years before that, there was an older tale."
"[narrating] It is not easy to hold on to hope when an ill wind blows. Winter bit hard that year. Yet still, the siege held fast."
"[narrating] Night after night, a ghostly horn echoed in the Deep, the harbinger of death. Fear took hold of Wulf's men. Whispers spread that Helm Hammerhand was human no more. He bore no weapon, and no weapon could smite him. A terror born of madness and grief, a wraith."
