Quotes 

  • Bilbo : [to his party guests]  I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

  • Bilbo : I'm old, Gandalf. I know I don't look it, but I'm beginning to feel it in my heart. I feel... thin. Sort of stretched, like... butter scraped over too much bread. I need a holiday. A very long holiday. And I don't expect I shall return. In fact I mean not to.

  • Bilbo : [voice]  It's a dangerous business, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.

  • [holding up a mail shirt] 

    Bilbo : Here's a pretty thing: Mithril. As light as a feather, and as hard as dragon-scales.

  • Gandalf : I think you should leave the ring behind, Bilbo. Is that so hard?

    Bilbo : Well, no.

    [frowning] 

    Bilbo : ...and yes. Now it comes to it, I don't feel like parting with it. It's mine, I found it. It came to me!

    Gandalf : There's no need to get angry.

    Bilbo : Well, if I'm angry, it's your fault.

    [to himself] 

    Bilbo : ...it's mine... my own... my precious...

    Gandalf : Precious? It's been called that before, but not by you.

    Bilbo : Oh, what business is it of yours what I do with my own things?

    Gandalf : I think you've had that ring quite long enough.

    Bilbo : You want it for yourself!

    Gandalf : BILBO BAGGINS! Do not take me for some conjuror of cheap tricks! I am not trying to rob you. I'm trying to help you.

  • Bilbo : Mrs Bracegirdle, how nice to see you. Welcome welcome. Are all these children yours?

    Mrs. Bracegirdle : Yeah.

    Bilbo : Good gracious, you have been productive.

  • Gandalf : Frodo suspects something.

    Bilbo : Of course he does, he's a Baggins, not some blockheaded Bracegirdle from Hardbottle.

  • Bilbo : I've thought of an ending for my book - "And he lived happily ever after... to the end of his days."

  • Bilbo : [answering the knocking on his door]  No, thank you. We don't want any more visitors, well-wishers, or distant relations.

    Gandalf : [from outside]  And what about very old friends?

  • Bilbo : [enigmatically]  You're a good lad, Frodo. I'm very selfish, you know. Yes, I am. Very selfish. I don't know why I took you in after your mother and father died but it wasn't out of charity. I think it was because... of all my numerous relations, you were the one Baggins that showed real spirit.

    Frodo : Bilbo, have you been at the Gaffer's home brew?

    Bilbo : No.

    [pause] 

    Bilbo : Well, yes, but that's not the point...

  • Bilbo : You will keep an eye on Frodo, won't you?

    Gandalf : Two eyes, as often as I can spare them.

  • Bilbo : My dear Bagginses and Boffins, Tooks and Brandybucks, Grubbs, Chubbs, Hornblowers, Bolgers, Bracegirdles and Proudfoots!

    Everard Proudfoot : Proudfeet!

  • Bilbo : [to Frodo]  I am sorry I brought this upon you, my boy. I'm sorry that... you must carry this burden. I'm sorry for everything.

  • [before his 111th birthday party] 

    Bilbo : Gandalf, my old friend, this will be a night to remember.

  • Bilbo : [to the crowd]  I regret to announce - this is The End. I am going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell.

    Bilbo : [whispers to Frodo]  Goodbye.

  • Frodo Baggins : Remember what Bilbo used to say. "It's a dangerous business..."

    Bilbo Baggins : [voice-over]  ... Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing *where* you might be swept off to.

  • Bilbo Baggins : Bilbo: No, wait. It's here in my pocket. Isn't that... isn't' that odd now? Yet, after all, why not? Why shouldn't I keep it?

    Gandalf : Gandalf: There's no need to get angry.

    Gandalf : Bilbo: Well, if I'm angry, it's your fault! It's mine, my own, my precious.

  • Bilbo : [someone knocks on the door]  Frodo, there's someone at the door!

    [He continues his memoir and shortly after narrating, the door knocks again] 

    Bilbo : Frodo! The door!

    [the door knocks again] 

    Bilbo : Sticklebags, where's that boy? FRODO!
