When the true king's away, the cats will play...
Or...
WK: I will break the wizard.
Gandalf: Away foul dwimmerlaik........holy crap.
Or...
Tall ships and tall kings
Three times three
What brought they from the foundered land
Over the flowing sea?
Seven stars, and seven stones,
and one white fe-
line.
Or...
Smaugcat: "Well, thief! I smell you and I feel your air. I hear your breath. Come along! Help yourself again, there is plenty and to spare!"
Bilbo Mousekins: "No thank you, O Smaugcat the Tremendous! I did not come for presents. I only wished to have a look at you and see if you were truly as great as tales say. I did not believe them."
Smaugcat: "Do you now?"
Bilbo Mousekins: "Truly songs and tales fall utterly short of the reality, O Smaugcat the Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities!"
Smaugcat: "You have nice manners for a thief and a liar. You seem familiar with my name, but I don't seem to remember smelling you before. Who are you and where do you come from, may I ask?"
