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

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... :rolleyes:

HerenIstarion 01-10-2005 08:36 PM

Thorin describing hobbits in general at his death bed?

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.

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

"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

"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 :eek: 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!"

Carrūn 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.

Carrūn 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.

Carrūn 03-21-2005 02:42 PM

Yep, your turn.

Kath 03-21-2005 04:04 PM

Okay next one:

"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'm pretty sure that's right.

Kath 03-23-2005 06:13 AM

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 :D your turn

Kath 04-02-2005 09:07 AM

Ok, next one
