The Hobbit (1977 film)

"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!"
