Thorin
I will put the next one between your eyes!
Thranduil
We've come to tell you payment of your debt has been offered...and accepted.
Thorin
What payment? I gave you nothing. You have nothing!
Bard
We have this.
Kili
They have the Arkenstone. [to Bard and Thranduil] Thieves! How came you by the heirloom of our house? That stone belongs to the King!
Bard
The King may have it, with our good will. [puts the Arkenstone away] But first, he must honor his word.
Thorin
They are taking us for fools. It is a ruse. A filthy lie. [to Bard and Thranduil] The Arkenstone is in this mountain! It is a trick!
It...It's no trick. [Thorin is surprised] The stone is real. I gave it to them.
Thorin
You?...
I took it as my fourteenth share.
Thorin
You would steal from me?
Steal from you? No, no. I may be a burglar but I'd like to think I'm an honest one. I'm willing to let it stand against my claim.
Thorin
"Against your claim"? Your claim. You have no claim over me, you miserable RAT! [throws his bow down to the concrete]
I was going to give it to you. Many times, I wanted to, but-
Thorin
But what, thief?
You are changed, Thorin. The Dwarf I met in Bag End would never have gone back on his word. Would never have doubted the loyalty of his kin.
Thorin
Do not speak to me of loyalty. [to the Dwarves] THROW HIM FROM THE RAMPART! [Bilbo widens his eyes in terror. The Dwarves stand still; none of them obey Thorin's order as Bard and Thranduil look on in disbelief and shock] DID YOU NOT HEAR ME?! [pulls Fili, who pulls back; Thorin turns back to Bilbo angrily] I will do it MYSELF! [grabs Bilbo and lifts him up, the other dwarves rush to stop him] CURSE YOU!
Fili
No!
Thorin
CURSED BE THE WIZARD THAT FORCED YOU ON THIS COMPANY!
Gandalf
IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY BURGLAR, [normal voice] then please, don't damage him. Return him to me. [Thorin stops at the sight of Gandalf] You're not making a very splendid figure as King under the Mountain, are you, Thorin, son of Thrain?
Thorin
NEVER AGAIN WILL I HAVE DEALINGS WITH WIZARDS...
Bofur
Go.
Thorin
...OR SHIRE RATS.
Bard
Are we resolved? The return of the Arkenstone for what was promised?
Thorin
Why should I buy back that which is rightfully mine?!
Thranduil
Keep the stone. Sell it. Ecthelion of Gondor will give you a good price for it.
Thorin
I WILL KILL YOU! UPON MY OATH, I WILL KILL YOU ALL!
Thranduil
Your oath means nothing. [pause] I've heard enough.
Gandalf
Thorin, lay down your arms. Open these doors. This treasure will be your death.
Balin
Thorin, we cannot win this fight.
Bard
Give us your answer. Will you have peace or war?
Thorin
I will have war.
Gandalf
Ironfoot.
Gandalf, who is that? He doesn't look very happy.
Gandalf
He is Dain, Lord of the Iron Hills. Thorin's cousin.
Are they alike?
Gandalf
I've always found Thorin the more reasonable of the two.
Dain
Good morning! How aaare we all? I have a wee proposition, if ye wouldn't mind givin' me a few moments of yer time. Would ye consider...JUST SODDING OFF?! All of you! Right now!
Bard
Stand fast!
Gandalf
Come now, Lord Dain.
Dain
Gandalf the Grey. Tell this rabble to leave, or I'll water the ground with their blood!
Gandalf
There is no need for war between Dwarves, Men, and Elves. A legion of Orcs march on the Mountain. Stand your army down.
Dain
I will not stand down before any Elf. [looks at 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! [rides back to his army]
Gandalf
Dain! Wait!
Thranduil
Let them advance, see how far they'll get.
Dain
You think I give a dead dog for your threats, ya pointy-eared princess? [to his army] You hear that, lads? We're on! Let's give these bastards a good hammering!
