A scene from The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies 2014
Dwalin
[confronting Thorin over his obsession with the Arkenstone, trying to reason with him to help Dain]

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
[voice breaking]

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
[Dwalin tearfully leaves. Later, Thorin wanders through the Gallery of Kings and recalls his conversations involving him] [voice over]

You sit here with a crown upon your head...and yet you are lesser now than you have ever been.

Thorin
[voice over]

A treasure such as this cannot be counted in lives lost.

Balin
[voice over]

A sickness lies upon that treasure horde.

Bard
[voice over]

The blind ambition of a Mountain King.

Thorin
[voice over]

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
[voice over]

He cannot see beyond his own desire!

Thorin
[voice over]

As if I were some lowly dwarf lord...Thorin Oakenshield.

Balin
[voice over]

A sickness which drove your grandfather mad.

Thorin
[voice over]

Oakenshield.

Dwalin
[voice over]

This is Thorin, son of Thrain, son of Thror!

Thorin
[voice over]

I am not my grandfather.

Gandalf
[Thorin begins to come to his senses] [voice over]

You are the heir to the throne of Durin.

Dwalin
[voice over]

They are dying out there.

Gandalf
[voice over]

Take back Erebor.

Dwalin
[voice over]

Dain is surrounded...is surrounded.

Gandalf
[voice over]

Take back your homeland.

Bilbo
[voice over]

You are changed, Thorin!

Thorin
[voice over]

I am not my grandfather.

Bilbo
[voice over]

Is this treasure truly worth more than your honor?

Thorin
[voice over]

I am not my grandfather.

Gandalf
[Thorin begins hallucinating as he sees Smaug swimming underneath him as well as himself sinking in the molten gold] [voice over]

This treasure will be your death!

Kili
[Thorin, horrified, sees himself sinking further into the gold; he suddenly comes to his senses and casts his crown aside. Meanwhile, the dwarves have grown impatient of not helping until they see Thorin coming towards them. Kili stands up from a piece of rubble with an angry scowl on his face] [lividly shouting at Thorin]

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
[comes to a halt in front of Kili]

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]
