Yet another quote that wasn't

[radagastly]

How about this? It could be an orc to the Goblin King in 'The Hobbit.' As the dwarves, Bilbo and Gandalf sleep in the cave at the top of the mountain path, an orc reports their presence to the Goblin King:

My lord, we spotted a whole lot of those dirty earth-digging creatures up there. They are asleep, and we can easily lay hands on them!

What the rest of the conversation might be is anybody's guess since this scene is never witnessed, but more than likely took place in some way or other.
