[Bilbo is in the treasure room. After he picks up a cup a pile of treasure slides off and sees Smaug, asleep. Bilbo tries to sneak past the sleeping dragon but he awakens. Bilbo slips on the Ring and disappears. Smaug rises out of the gold, sniffs, and looks around, growling.]
Smaug: Well... thief. [sniffs] I smell you. I hear your breath. I feel your air. Where are you? Where are you?
[Bilbo runs through the gold, Smaug senses him and chases after him. Bilbo hides behind a pillar]
Smaug: Come now. Don't be shy. Step into the light.
[Smaug walks around the pillar toward where Bilbo is hiding]
Smaug: There is something about you. Something you carry, something made of gold... but far... more... PRECIOUS...
[Bilbo is assaulted by Sauron's eye and pulls off the Ring]
Smaug: [sees him] There you are, Thief in the Shadows.
Bilbo: I did not come to steal from you, O Smaug the Unassessably Wealthy. I merely wanted to gaze upon your magnificence. To see if you really were as great as the old tales say. [nervous] I did not believe them.
Smaug: [Draws himself up from the hoard and into full view] And do you NOW?!
Bilbo: Truly, the tales and songs fall utterly short of your enormity, O Smaug, the Stupendous.
Smaug: Do you think flattery will keep you alive?
Bilbo: N...no.
Smaug: No indeed. You seem familiar with my name, but I don't remember smelling your kind before. Who are you and where do you come from, may I ask?
Bilbo: [sees the Arkenstone; tries to distract Smaug] I... I come from under the hill.
Smaug: "Underhill"?
Bilbo: [nods nervously] And under hills and over hills my path has led... and through the air! I am he who walks unseen.
Smaug: [drawing close] Impressive. What else do you claim to be?
Bilbo: I-I am... Luck-wearer. Riddle-maker.
Smaug: Lovely titles. Go on.
Bilbo: Barrel-rider.
Smaug: "Barrels"? Now that is interesting! And what about your little dwarf friends? Where are they hiding?
Bilbo: [feigning confusion] D... Dwarves? No. No, no dwarves here, you've got that all wrong--
Smaug: Oh, I don't think so, Barrel-rider! They sent you in here to do their dirty work, while they skulk about outside!
Bilbo: Truly you are mistaken, O Smaug, Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities.
Smaug: You have nice manners, for a thief and a LIAR! I know the smell and taste of dwarf, no one better! It is the gold! They are drawn to treasure like flies to dead flesh!
[Bilbo tries to grab the Arkenstone, but Smaug knocks it away and begins chasing Bilbo]
Smaug: Did you think I did not know this day would come?! That a pack of canting dwarves would come crawling back to the mountain?!
[As Smaug knocks over pillars, the dwarves outside hear the noise]
Dori: Was that an earthquake?
Balin: That, my lad... was a dragon.
