The Hobbit quotes! - Page 5 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Firefoot · 12-01-2004, 09:14 PM

Well, Bilbo did say it but not at that point. Go ahead with the next quote anyway.

Tuor of Gondolin · 12-02-2004, 08:49 AM

Okay. How about:

"Do as I say!"

HerenIstarion · 12-02-2004, 04:10 PM

Galion the Butler to barrel-elves, urging them to roll all, icluding supposedly 'never empty' down the trap-door

Tuor of Gondolin · 12-02-2004, 04:53 PM

Yep. Your turn.

HerenIstarion · 12-03-2004, 08:50 AM

Next up, than:

Quote:

What help we can offer shall be yours, and we trust to your gratitude when your kingdom is regained

Firefoot · 12-03-2004, 03:20 PM

The Master of Lake Town to Thorin.

HerenIstarion · 12-03-2004, 03:29 PM

correct

Firefoot · 01-10-2005, 08:22 PM

Late is better than never, I suppose...

Quote:

"Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure."

HerenIstarion · 01-10-2005, 08:36 PM

Thorin describing hobbits in general at his death bed?

Firefoot · 01-10-2005, 09:19 PM

Yessiree!

HerenIstarion · 01-11-2005, 04:17 AM

Thanks

Next one up:

I'll soon put an end to that!

Kath · 01-11-2005, 08:32 AM

One of the spiders who wants to eat Bombur - though we've had this before I think.

HerenIstarion · 01-11-2005, 05:34 PM

Quote:

My apologies. This thread is long, and the Hobbit only a short story (compared to some others of the same authorship, that is). You've got it right, by the way

Kath · 01-21-2005, 04:30 AM

Sorry all I didn't get a notice that this had been replied to. New quote:

Quote:

I wish

That's a little vague so as a clue it is something that one character in particualr says frequently.

Firefoot · 01-21-2005, 06:03 AM

Bilbo says it quite frequently. One example is "I wish Thorin were living, but I am glad we parted in kindness."

Kath · 01-22-2005, 09:08 AM

Well not the one I was thinking of but OK, your turn.

Firefoot · 03-15-2005, 08:11 PM

Quote:

"There are no safe paths in this part of the world."

.

Kath · 03-16-2005, 12:53 PM

Gandalf to Bilbo and the dwarves as they are about to enter Mirkwood.

Firefoot · 03-16-2005, 02:42 PM

Yep.

Kath · 03-16-2005, 03:31 PM

Ok next one

Quote:

"then if ever Smaug ought to be napping"

Lostgaeriel · 03-16-2005, 05:33 PM

This is Bilbo to Thorin in Inside Information outlining what they should do now that Bilbo has stolen the great two-handled cup from Smaug's hoard and and the dragon has chased them back into the tunnel:

Quote:

'Well, if you really want my advice, I should say we can do nothing but stay where we are. By day we can no doubt creep out safely enough to take the air. Perhaps before long one or two could be chosen to go back to the store by the river and replenish our supplies. But in the meanwhile everyone ought to be well inside the tunnel by night.

'Now I will make you an offer. I have got my ring and will creep down this very noon - then, if ever, Smaug ought to be napping - and see what he is up to. Perhaps something will turn up. "Every worm has his weak spot," as my father used to say, though I am sure it was not from personal experience.'

Kath · 03-17-2005, 04:39 AM

Very exact

and of course very correct! Go ahead.

Lostgaeriel · 03-18-2005, 10:17 AM

Choosing a quote is difficult - this thread is so long now - and I've only read the book once - a very long time ago.

Quote:

‘But share and share alike!’

Kath · 03-18-2005, 05:46 PM

Quote:

"Indeed I can!" said the wizard. "But share and share alike! You may find you have more needs than you expect."

Gandalf to Bilbo at the place where they turned aside for their nasty adventure with the trolls.

Lostgaeriel · 03-19-2005, 09:23 AM

Yes, Kath, that's correct - it's from the last chapter The Last Stage.

Your turn.

Kath · 03-19-2005, 04:37 PM

I don't do chapters - I get vague memories and skim through the book till I find the bit I had the memory of!

Anyway next one:

Quote:

"We shall see, we shall see!"

Carrûn · 03-21-2005, 06:32 AM

Gandalf to the dwarves before entering Beorn's land.

Kath · 03-21-2005, 07:38 AM

Yep, go ahead.

Carrûn · 03-21-2005, 12:17 PM

"Quite a merry gathering! I hope there is something left for the late-comers to eat and drink! What's that? Tea! No thank you! A little red wine, I think, for me..."

Kath · 03-21-2005, 02:08 PM

Gandalf to Bilbo when he and the dwarves meet at Bag End in An Unexpected Party.

Carrûn · 03-21-2005, 02:42 PM

Yep, your turn.

Kath · 03-21-2005, 04:04 PM

Okay next one:

Quote:

"Would this be any good?"

Mango of Doom · 03-22-2005, 06:25 AM

Is that Bilbo asking about the key to the Trolls cave?
I've lent my book to a friend recently and so cant check it :s

I'm pretty sure that's right.

Kath · 03-23-2005, 06:13 AM

Yes Mango of Doom that's right.

Carrun I will get there eventually, you don't have to answer for me!

Take it easy, I wasn't sure myself.

Mango of Doom · 03-23-2005, 11:44 AM

"Lucky numbers don't always come off"
At least i think thats the quote... sorry, i should really get my book before answering quotes

Kath · 04-01-2005, 01:57 PM

Found it at last, took long enough!

Quote:

"Lovely titles!" sneered the dragon, "But lucky number don't always come off."

And so of course it was Smaug to Bilbo.

Mango of Doom · 04-02-2005, 03:58 AM

Thats the one

your turn

Kath · 04-02-2005, 09:07 AM

Ok, next one
