Thorin

How close is the pack?

Bilbo

Too close. A couple of leagues, no more. But, that's not the worst of it.

Dwalin

Have the Wargs picked up on our scent?

Bilbo

Not yet, but, they will do. We have another problem.

Gandalf

Did they see you? [Bilbo looks at Gandalf] They saw you.

Bilbo

No, that's not it.

Gandalf

What did I tell you? Quiet as a mouse. Excellent burglar material.

Bilbo

Will you listen? Will you just listen?? I'm trying to tell you there is something else out there.

Gandalf

What form did it take? Like a bear?

Bilbo

Yes, but bigger. Much bigger.

You knew about this beast? [Gandalf turns and walks a few steps away] I say we double back.

Thorin

And be run down by a pack of Orcs?

Gandalf

There is a house, it's not far from here, where we might take refuge.

Thorin

Whose house? Are they friend or foe?

Gandalf

Neither. He will help us or he will kill us.

Thorin

What choice do we have?

Gandalf

None.
