From The Hobbit:

The bit where Bilbo complains to Thorin about the size of the Dwarves' hoard: "I should want hundreds of years to bring it all up, if I was fifty times as big and Smaug as tame as a rabbit!"

And from TTT:

Legolas, trying to deduce how Merry & Pippin escaped the destruction of the Orcs just outside Fangorn: "Being pleased with his skill, he then sat down and quietly ate some waybread! That at least is enough to show that he was a hobbit, without the mallorn leaf."

(I cannot *believe* that line wasn't in the movie!!)
