Quotes
-
Bilbo Baggins : 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. I did not believe them.
Smaug : [strikes a pose] And do you, NOW?
Bilbo Baggins : Truly, tales and songs fall utterly short of your enormity, O Smaug the Stupendous...
Smaug : Do you think flattery will keep you alive?
Bilbo Baggins : No, no...
Smaug : No, indeed!
-
Smaug : 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 Baggins : I come from under the hill...
Smaug : Underhill?
Bilbo Baggins : ...and under hills and over hills my paths lead. And through the air! I am he who walks unseen!
Smaug : Impressive. What else do you claim to be?
[leans forward to smell Bilbo]
Bilbo Baggins : L-Luck-Wearer... R-Riddle-Maker...
Smaug : Lovely titles... Go on.
Bilbo Baggins : Barrel-Rider!
Smaug : Barrels! Now that is interesting!
-
Thorin Oakenshield : Here! You witless worm!
Smaug : YOU!
Thorin Oakenshield : I'm taking back what you stole.
Smaug : You will take NOTHING from me, dwarf. I laid low your warriors of old. I instilled terror in the hearts of men. I AM KING UNDER THE MOUNTAIN!
Thorin Oakenshield : This is not your kingdom! These are dwarf lands. This is dwarf gold! And we will have our revenge!
-
Smaug : You think you can deceive me, Barrel-Rider? You have come from Lake Town! This is some sort of scheme hatched between these filthy dwarves and those miserable tub-trading Lakemen, those snivelling cowards with their Longbows and Black Arrows! Perhaps it is time I paid them a visit!
Bilbo Baggins : Oh, no... This isn't their fault! Wait! You can not go to Lake Town!
Smaug : You care about them, do you? Good! Then you can watch them DIE!
-
[Bilbo observes a bare patch on Smaug's chest]
Bilbo Baggins : So it is true, the Black Arrow found its mark...
Smaug : What did you say?
-
[Smaug has been keeping the Arkenstone away from Bilbo throughout their talk, however he lets it fall within reach of Bilbo]
Smaug : I am almost tempted to let you take it, if only to see Oakenshield suffer, watch it destroy him, watch it corrupt his heart and drive him mad... But I think not. I think our little game ends here!
-
Smaug : It's Oakenshield. That filthy Dwarvish usurper! He sent you in here for the Arkenstone, didn't he?
Bilbo Baggins : No no no no no, I have no idea what you're talking about...
Smaug : Don't bother denying it! I guessed his foul purpose some time ago! But it matters not. Oakenshield's quest will fail. A darkness is coming. It will spread to every corner of the land!
-
Smaug : The King Under the Mountain is dead! I took his throne, I ate his people like a wolf among sheep! I kill where I wish, WHEN I wish! My armour is iron, no blade can pierce me!
-
Smaug : You are being used, Thief in the Shadows. You were only ever a means to an end. The coward Oakenshield has weighed the value of your life and found it worth nothing...
Bilbo Baggins : No. No! You're lying!
-
Necromancer : [in Black Speech] We grow in number. We grow in strength. You will lead my armies.
Azog : [in Black Speech] What of Oakenshield?
Necromancer : [in Black Speech] War is coming.
Azog : [in Black Speech, angry] You promised me his head.
Necromancer : [in Black Speech, vanishing] Death will come to all.
-
Smaug : My teeth are swords. My claws are spears. My wings are a HURRICANE!
-
Smaug : What did he promise you, a share of the treasure? As if it was his to give. I will not part with a single coin! Not one piece of it!
-
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?
-
Smaug : And what about your little dwarf friends? Where are they hiding?
Bilbo Baggins : Dwarves... 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 Baggins : Truly, you are mistaken, O Smaug Chiefest and Greatest of All Calamities...
Smaug : You have nice manners for a thief, and a LIAR! I know the smell and taste of dwarves, no one better!
-
Smaug : [charging towards the dwarves; roar-like] YOU WILL BUUUUURRRRRRNNNNNNNNNN!
-
Smaug : [to Bilbo] You have good manners for a thief and a LIAR!
-
[Smaug is about to kill Thorin]
Thorin Oakenshield : [to Bilbo] NOW!
Bilbo Baggins : [jumping and grabbing the dwarvian lever] Argh!
[water spews out of the spouts]
Smaug : [roars; ready to breath fire] Arrgh...
[the water hits Smaug, cooling him off and distinguishing the fire in his lungs]
-
Smaug : [searching for the invisible Bilbo; menacingly] Well... Thief! I can smell you... I can hear your breath, I can feel your breath... Where-Are-You?
[comes really close to Bilbo, who begins to lose his nerve]
Smaug : Where are you?
[Out of fright, Bilbo takes off running. Smaug chases after him. Bilbo hides behind one of the columns]
Smaug : [calmly] Come now... Don't be shy. Step into the light.
[creeps towards Bilbo's hiding place]
Smaug : There is something you carry... Something made of gold. Except only much... more... Precious...
[Bilbo is assaulted by Sauron's eye and quickly takes the ring off. He sees Smaug's piercing eye in front of him. Bilbo gasps, startled]
Smaug : There you are... thief in the shadows.
Bilbo Baggins : I-I didn't come to steal, Smaug the inaccessibly wealthy. I only wanted to gaze upon your magnificence, and what the old tales say is true.
[whimpers]
Bilbo Baggins : But I did not believe them!
[Smaug fluidly slinks away and does a pose of grandiose]
Smaug : [proudly; his voice resonating] And DO YOU NOW?
Bilbo Baggins : [in awe] Yes... Yes, what the stories said is true.
-
Smaug : It is the gold! They are drawn to treasure like flies to dead flesh.
-
Smaug : So tell me, thief, how do you choose to die?
-
Smaug : You - will - burn!
