Bilbo Baggins quotes from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

Bilbo Baggins

I think in his heart, Frodo's still in love with the Shire. The woods, the fields... little rivers.

Bilbo Baggins

I'm old, Gandalf. I know I don't look it, but I'm beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel thin, sort of stretched, like… butter scraped over too much bread. I feel I need a holiday. A very long holiday. I don't expect I shall return…in fact I mean not to.

Bilbo Baggins

Gandalf, my old friend…this will be a night to remember.

Bilbo Baggins

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Bilbo Baggins

I regret to announce that this is the end. I'm going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell. Goodbye.

Bilbo Baggins

It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.

Bilbo Baggins

Oh! My old Ring! I should... very much like to hold it again, one last time.

Bilbo Baggins

I'm sorry I brought this upon you, my boy. I'm sorry that you must carry this burden. (weeps) I'm sorry for everything.

Bilbo Baggins

I meant to go back, wander the paths of Mirkwood, visit Laketown, see the Lonely Mountain again. But age it seems has finally caught up with me.

Bilbo Baggins

I have things to do... I've put this off for far too long. I regret to announce this is the end. I'm going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell. Goodbye.

Bilbo Baggins

I've thought of an ending for my book. "And he lived happily ever after... to the end of his days."

Bilbo

No, thank you! We don't want any more visitors, well-wishers, or distant relations!

Gandalf

And what about very old friends?

Gandalf

Frodo suspects something.

Bilbo

Of course he does! He's a Baggins! Not some blockheaded Bracegirdle from Hardbottle.

Bilbo

My dear Bagginses and Boffins... Tooks and Brandybucks... Grubbs... Chubbs... and Proudfoots!

Proudfeet!

Bilbo

It's mine... my own... My precious...

Gandalf

"Precious"? It's been called that before, but not by you.
