The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Page #4

There's mud trod into the carpet.

They've pillaged the pantry.

I won't tell you what they've done

in the bathroom.

They've destroyed the plumbing. I don't

understand what they're doing in my house!

Excuse me. I'm sorry to interrupt,

but what should I do with my plate?

Here you go, Ori. Give it to me.

Take that back. Excuse me.

That's my mother's West Farthing pottery.

It's over 100 years old!

And can you not do that? You'll blunt them.

Ooh. Do you hear that, lads?

He says we'll blunt the knives.

Blunt the knives, bend the forks

Smash the bottles and bum the corks

Chip the glasses and crack the plates

That's what Bilbo Baggins hates

Cut the cloth, tread on the fat

Leave the bones on the bedroom mat

Pour the milk on the pantry floor

Splash the wine on every door

Dump the crooks in a boiling bowl

Pound them up with a thumping pole

When you're finished, if they are whole

Send them down the hall to roll

That's what Bilbo Baggins hates

Bilbo.

He is here.

Gandalf.

I thought you said this place

would be easy to find.

I lost my way, twice.

I wouldn't have found it at all

had it not been for that mark on the door.

Mark? There's no mark on that door.

It was painted a week ago.

There is a mark. I put it there myself.

Bilbo Baggins, allow me to introduce

the leader of our company:

Thorin Oakenshield.

So...

...this is the Hobbit.

Tell me, Mr. Baggins,

have you done much fighting?

- Pardon me?

- Ax or sword?

What's your weapon of choice?

Well, I do have some skill at conkers,

if you must know...

...but I fail to see why that's relevant.

Thought as much.

He looks more like a grocer than a burglar.

What news from the meeting in Ered Luin?

Did they all come?

- Aye. Envoys from all seven kingdoms.

- All of them!

And what did the Dwarves

of the Iron Hills say?

Is Dain with us?

They will not come.

They say this quest is ours and ours alone.

You're going on a quest?

Bilbo, my dear fellow,

let us have a little more light.

Far to the east...

...over ranges and rivers...

...beyond woodlands and wastelands...

...lies a single, solitary peak.

"The Lonely Mountain."

Aye, Oin has read the portents...

...and the portents say it is time.

Ravens have been seen flying back

to the mountain, as it was foretold.

"When the birds of yore return to Erebor...

...the reign of the beast will end."

Uh, what beast?

That would be a reference

to Smaug the Terrible...

...chiefest and greatest

calamity of our age.

Airborne fire-breather.

Teeth like razors, claws like meat hooks.

- Extremely fond of precious metals.

- Yes, I know what a dragon is.

I'm not afraid. I'm up for it.
