The Hobbit quotes! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Laivine · 11-09-2002, 11:22 AM

I couldn't find a thread with The Hobbit quotes on this first page, so I assume there has been awhile since there was one. I've just read The Hobbit for the first time, and I loved it, so I thought I'd start a topic. Anyway, the first quote is rather easy I should think! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Quote:

What a lot of things you use Good morning for!

Gandalf to Bilbo! (I love that book!!!)

TolkienGurl · 11-09-2002, 11:36 AM

The 2 other Hobbit quote threads were first posted in 2001; one of them's closed and the other hasn't been replyed to since April. So I think you're OK! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

What do you mean by it?

Who said it, to whom were they talking to, and where were they?

11-12-2002, 12:33 PM

Gandalf to Bilbo

*if its wrong its probaly because i only read the hobbit twice*

gralin musicteeth · 11-12-2002, 12:53 PM

nope!

Laivine · 11-13-2002, 08:02 AM

Errrrrrr... Bilbo to Bifur?!?!

I know thats not right, hehe, but it was a hard quote. Hmmmm...

gralin musicteeth · 11-17-2002, 07:06 AM

nope! it was said before they got to Beorn's house.

hobbitlass · 11-17-2002, 07:36 AM

AAAHA! I finally found it.
It was said by the great goblin to Thorin in a huge cavern under the Misty Mountains.

gralin musicteeth · 11-17-2002, 04:05 PM

*bows to hobbitlass* Very good. Your turn

Arwen1858 · 11-19-2002, 12:34 AM

Gandalf, at the beginning of the Misty Mountains, chapter 'A Short Rest'

hobbitlass · 11-19-2002, 12:15 PM

Very good again, Arwen. Your turn.

Arwen1858 · 11-20-2002, 01:40 PM

Quote:

Well, if you know of anywhere better, take us there!

Who said it, and to who?

gralin musicteeth · 11-26-2002, 06:55 PM

just a guess...Thorin?

-Imrahil- · 11-26-2002, 11:20 PM

Balin?

Must be one of the dwarves...

Legolas · 11-27-2002, 07:52 AM

Gandalf to Thorin who was whining about the giants.

Arwen1858 · 11-27-2002, 04:57 PM

Your turn, Legolas. It was Gandalf to Thorin, but unfortunatly I lost my place in the book, so I don't remember what Thorin was whining about though.
Arwen

Legolas · 11-28-2002, 12:59 AM

Quote:

The torches will soon be relit.

Who said it? Whose torches? Why did it matter?

HerenIstarion · 11-28-2002, 08:01 AM

Gandalf said it to Thorin & Co and Bilbo, it mattered siince goblins were to relight them ant therefore to catch escaped captives

Legolas · 11-28-2002, 11:41 AM

Good, H-I!

HerenIstarion · 11-29-2002, 03:53 AM

Quote:

I can give you a day or two more

+ circumstances, plz

hobbitlass · 11-30-2002, 03:36 PM

Gandalf says this to Thorin and company after the eagles drop them off at the Carrock.

HerenIstarion · 12-02-2002, 04:50 AM

correct, hobbitlass, proceed

hobbitlass · 12-02-2002, 05:24 PM

"Tomorrow begins the last week of Autumn".

Guinevere · 12-03-2002, 03:05 PM

Thorin says this to the other dwarves as they sit "on the doorstep" of Smaugs lair and wait for Bilbo to decide something.

Now for a new quote....hmmmm...

"Get up lazybones," he said, "or there will be no breakfast left for you."

Durelin · 12-03-2002, 03:14 PM

Bofur said it to Bilbo (grumbling) when they woke up in Beorn's home.

Durelin · 12-03-2002, 03:45 PM

Well, here's another!

Quote:

Let us return! We can do no good here! And I don't like these dark birds, they look like spies of evil.

Beren87 · 12-03-2002, 11:04 PM

Balin said it as they approached the mountain.

Beren87 · 12-10-2002, 04:25 PM

Am i correct Durelin?

-Imrahil- · 12-10-2002, 04:33 PM

Beren I think you're right.

Beren87 · 12-16-2002, 06:55 PM

Well, I know I'm right and its been a week so...

Quote:

I should swell up as big again as I am!

Legolas · 12-17-2002, 09:53 PM

Bilbo thinking to himself about some large bees.

Beren87 · 12-18-2002, 05:56 AM

You are wonderfully correct Legalos.

hobbitlass · 12-18-2002, 09:13 AM

I don't remember that part. What chapter and/or page number was that in, please? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Legolas · 12-18-2002, 12:10 PM

A page number would do you no good unless we have the same publishing. It's in Chapter 7: Queer Lodgings. Beorn was a bee-keeper - don't remember that?

Anyway, the next quote...

Quote:

Besides they need no ropes in here.

hobbitlass · 12-19-2002, 04:55 AM

'Besides they need no ropes in here, said the Elvenking,' There is no escape from my magic doors for those who are once brought inside.'
BTW, thanks for the chapter on the last one. I DID forget about Beorn keeping bees. Man-Bear-honey-bees, DUH!! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

hobbitlass · 12-23-2002, 02:29 PM

'Yes, yes!' _____ said. 'It isn't all that big,......'

Legolas · 12-26-2002, 09:33 PM

I really really hate it when someone other than the person giving the quote tells the answerer that they're correct unless it has been a week.

*cough* TolkienGurl *cough*
