Woodland Elves! The King's son and a She-elf...they tracked us to Lake-town.
And you killed them?
They fled...squealing like cowards.
You fool! They will return...with an army of Elves at their backs! Ride to Gundabad...Let the Legions come forth. [addressing his army] Elves! Men! Dwarves! The Mountain will be their tomb! To war!
Dwalin
Since when do we forsake our own people? Thorin, they are dying out there.
Thorin
There are halls beneath halls within the Mountain, places we can fortify. Shore up, make safe? Yes. Yes, that is it. We must move the gold further underground to safety.
Dwalin
Did you not hear me? Dain is surrounded. They're being slaughtered, Thorin.
Thorin
Many die in war, life is cheap. But a treasure such as this cannot be counted in lives lost. It is worth all the blood we can spend.
Dwalin
You sit here, in these vast halls, with a crown upon your head...and yet you are lesser now than you have ever been.
Thorin
Do not speak to me as if I were some lowly dwarf lord... [voice begins to break] as if I were still Thorin...Oakenshield... [draws his sword, enraged] I am your KING!
Dwalin
You were always my King. You used to know that once. But you cannot see what you have become.
Thorin
Go. Get out...before I kill you.
Dwalin
You sit here with a crown upon your head...and yet you are lesser now than you have ever been.
Thorin
A treasure such as this cannot be counted in lives lost.
Balin
A sickness lies upon that treasure horde.
Bard
The blind ambition of a Mountain King.
Thorin
AM I NOT THE KING?! This gold is ours and ours alone. Treasure hoard. [as Thorin walks over the hardened gold floor, he continues to recall] I will not part with a single coin.
Bard
He cannot see beyond his own desire!
Thorin
As if I were some lowly dwarf lord...Thorin Oakenshield.
Balin
A sickness which drove your grandfather mad.
Thorin
Oakenshield.
Dwalin
This is Thorin, son of Thrain, son of Thror!
Thorin
I am not my grandfather.
Gandalf
You are the heir to the throne of Durin.
Dwalin
They are dying out there.
Gandalf
Take back Erebor.
Dwalin
Dain is surrounded...is surrounded.
Gandalf
Take back your homeland.
You are changed, Thorin!
Thorin
I am not my grandfather.
Is this treasure truly worth more than your honor?
Thorin
I am not my grandfather.
Gandalf
This treasure will be your death!
Kili
I will not hide behind a wall of stone while others fight our battles for us!! [Thorin continues walking toward the company, unaffected by the shouting] It is not in my blood, Thorin.
Thorin
No, it is not. We are sons of Durin. And Durin's folk do not flee from a fight. [Kili's lips tremble as if he were about to cry. Thorin and Kili smile at each other, touch foreheads together and they walk over to the rest of the company] I have no right to ask this of any of you...but will you follow me...one last time?
[The dwarves raise their weapons, ready for battle]
Gandalf
My Lord, disperse this force to Ravenhill. The Dwarves are about to be overrun. Thorin must be warned.
Thranduil
By all means, warn him. I've spent enough Elvish blood in defense of this accursed land. No more! [walks off]
Gandalf
Thranduil?
I'll go.
Gandalf
Don't be ridiculous, you'll never make it.
Why not?
Gandalf
Because they will see you coming, and kill you!
No, they won't. They won't see me.
Gandalf
It's out of the question. I won't allow it.
I'm not asking you to allow it, Gandalf.
[Bilbo turns and leaves, he then puts on the One Ring and goes off to Ravenhill to warn Thorin]
Who is this person you pledged your service to? Thorin Oakenshield?
He...He was my friend.
Legolas
I...cannot go back.
Thranduil
Where will you go?
Legolas
I do not know.
Thranduil
Go to the North. Find the Dunedain. There is a young Ranger among them you should meet. His father, Arathorn, was a good man. His son might grow to be a great one.
Legolas
What is his name?
Thranduil
He is known in the wild as Strider. His true name, you must discover for yourself. [Legolas makes to head to the north as suggested, but stops short] Legolas, your mother loved you...more than anyone; more than life.
Tauriel
They want to bury him.
Thranduil
Yes.
Tauriel
If this is love, then I do not want it. Take it from me. Please. [Thranduil does nothing. She sobs harder] Why does it hurt so much?
Thranduil
Because it was real.
[Tauriel, with tears in her eyes, was surprised what Thranduil had said, and kisses Kili]
Legolas
Where will you go?
Bard
There is only one place. [looks over to the Lonely Mountain]
The Mountain? You are a genius, Sire. We can take refuge inside the Mountain. It might smell a bit of dragon, but the women could clean that up. It'll be safe and warm and dry, and full of stores, bedding and clothing, the odd bit of gold.
Bard
What gold is in that Mountain is cursed. We will take only what was promised to us, only what we need to rebuild our lives. [hands some wood to Alfrid to carry]
Here, pull your weight. [drops the wood into her arms]
Legolas
News of the death of Smaug will have spread through the lands.
Bard
Aye.
Legolas
Others will now look to the Mountain, for its wealth or its position.
Bard
What is it you know?
Legolas
Nothing for certain. It's what I fear may come.
Legolas
Theses bats are bred for one purpose.
Tauriel
For what?
Legolas
For war.
It has begun. The East will fall. So shall the Kingdom of Angmar rise. The time of the Elves is over. The Age of the Orc has come.
YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE, SERVANT OF MORGOTH! YOU ARE NAMELESS! FACELESS! FORMLESS! GO BACK TO THE VOID FROM WHENCE YOU CAME!!!
We were deceived.
The spirit of Sauron endured.
Saruman
And has been banished.
He will flee into the East.
Gondor should be warned. They must set a watch on the walls of Mordor.
Saruman
No. Look after the Lady Galadriel. She has spent much of her power. Her strength is failing. Take her to Lothlorien.
My Lord Saruman, he must be hunted down and destroyed once and for all.
Saruman
Without the Ring of Power, Sauron can never again hold dominion over Middle-Earth. Go now. Leave Sauron to me.
Who are you that would stand against me? [Bard, with the Black Arrow in hand, grabs his bow but finds it broken] Now that is a pity. What will you do now, Bowman? You are forsaken. No help will come. [crushes a building with his foot]
Now's our chance! Go now! Head to the open water!
Hmm. Is that your child? You cannot save him from the fire. He...will...BURN.
Bard
Stay still, son. Stay still.
Tell me, wretch...how now shall you challenge me? [Bard concentrates on Smaug's hollowed scale; last words] YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT...BUT YOUR DEATH!!!!! [roars and makes his way to them]
Bard
Bain. Look at me. You look at me. A little to your left. [Bain moves slightly] That's it. [Just as Smaug heads toward them, he shoots the arrow and it strikes the dragon's heart, causing him to roar and scream in pain and crash into the tower] Bain! Hold on!
[The tower falls with Bard and Bain in it. Smaug continues to roar in pain, flying high until the light leaves his body. He plummets down into the ground, dead. The Master of Lake-town sees the dragon's body, and he can only freeze. The body lands on the Master, Braga, the guards, the boat, and the gold, crushing and killing them all; back at the Lonely Mountain, the dwarves and Bilbo hear the crash of Smaug's dead body in the lake]
What was that? What happened?
It fell. I saw it. It's dead. Smaug is dead!
By my beard, I think he's right! [points to birds flying to the mountain] Look there! The Ravens of Erebor are returning to the Mountain!
Balin
Aye. Word will spread. Before long, every soul in Middle-Earth will know...the dragon is dead!
[The dwarves cheer, but Thorin goes back to enter the Lonely Mountain]
Thorin
It is here in these halls. I know it.
Dwalin
We have searched and searched.
Thorin
Not well enough.
Dwalin
Thorin, we all would see the stone returned.
Thorin
And yet it's still not found!
Balin
Do you doubt the loyalty of anyone here? The Arkenstone is the birthright of our people.
Thorin
It is the King's Jewel...AM I NOT THE KING?! [short pause] Know this: If anyone should find it and withhold it from me...I will be avenged.
Gandalf
Ahh, the borders of the Shire. It is here I must leave you.
That's a shame. I quite like having a wizard around. Seems they bring good luck.
Gandalf
You don't really suppose, do you, that all your adventures and escapes were managed by mere luck? Magic rings should not be used lightly, Bilbo. Don't take me for a fool, I know you found one...
No...
Gandalf
...in the goblin tunnels, and I've kept my eye on you ever since.
Well, thank goodness. [extends his hand] Farewell, Gandalf.
Gandalf
Farewell.
You, uh...you needn't worry about that ring, it fell out of my pocket during the battle. I lost it.
Gandalf
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.
Balin
The king is dead!
Long live the king!
Balin
There is to be a great feast tonight. Songs will be sung, tales will be told, and Thorin Oakenshield will pass into legend.
I know that's how you must honor him, but to me, he was never that. He was... [getting choked up] To me...he was...Well, I think I'll slip quietly away. Will you tell the others I said goodbye?
Balin
You'll tell them yourself.
Uh, if any of you are ever passing Bag End, uh...tea is at four, there's plenty of it. You are welcome anytime. [they all bow to Bilbo] Oh, ah...don't bother knocking.
[The dwarves laugh softly; Gandalf chuckles, and Bilbo and Gandalf leave, as the dwarves watch in sadness]
Kili
Tauriel...
Fili
Kili. Come on, we're leaving.
Tauriel
They are your people. You must go. [starts to walk off]
Kili
Come with me. I know how I feel, I'm not afraid. You make me feel alive.
Tauriel
I can't.
Kili
Tauriel. Amralime.
Tauriel
I don't know what that means.
Kili
I think you do.
Tauriel
My Lord Legolas.
Legolas
Take your leave of the Dwarf. You are needed elsewhere.
Kili
Keep it, as a promise.
[Kili goes to the boat with Fili, Bofur, and Oin and row off. Tauriel looks at the stone. Her eyes filled with tears as she watches Kili and the others row off in their boat to the Lonely Mountain]
Three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone...
Nine for mortal men doomed to die...
You cannot fight the shadow. Even now, you fade. One light alone in the darkness.
I am not alone.
Saruman
Are you in need of assistance, my lady?
You should have stayed dead!
[Elrond and Saruman fight the Ringwraiths]
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.
[Smaug lunges at Bilbo, but Bilbo puts the Ring on his finger and vanishes. Smaug looks around; Bilbo, invisible grabs the Arkenstone, puts it in his pocket and runs off, as Smaug breathes fire. After the flashback, Bilbo takes the Arkenstone out of his pocket and looks at it, wondering what to do with it]
