Thranduil
- Thranduil: If I am not mistaken, this is the Halfing who stole the keys to my dungeon right from under the nose of my guards.
- Bilbo Baggins: Yesh. Sorry about that.
- Legolas: I can not go back.
- Thranduil: Where will you go?
- Legolas: I do not know.
- [pause]
- Thranduil: Go to the North. Meet with the Dunedain. There is a young Ranger among them. His father, Arathorn, was a good man. His son may grow to be a great one.
- Legolas: What is his name?
- Thranduil: He is known in the wild as Strider. His true name, you must discover for yourself.
- Tauriel: [Thranduil arrives at the top of Ravenhill to find Tauriel crying over Kili's body] They want to bury him.
- Thranduil: Yes.
- Tauriel: If this is love, I do not want it. Take it away, please! Why does it hurt so much?
- Thranduil: [sadly] Because it was real.
- Tauriel: [Tauriel cradles Kili's hand in hers and leans down to kiss him]
- [the night before the Elves are set to attack Erebor, Bilbo brings the Arkenstone to Thranduil's tent]
- Thranduil: The King's Jewel...
- Bard: And worth a King's ransom... how is this yours to give?
- Bilbo Baggins: I took it as my one-fourteenth share of the treasure.
- [Gandalf suppresses a smile]
- Bard: Why do this? You owe us nothing.
- Bilbo Baggins: I'm not doing it for you. I know that dwarves can be obstinate and pigheaded and difficult. They're suspicious and secretive, with the *worst* manners you can possibly imagine. But they are also brave and kind, and loyal to a fault. I've grown very fond of them, and I would save them if I can.
- Bard: [to Thranduil after failing to negotiate with Thorin] He will give us nothing.
- Thranduil: Such a pity. Still, you tried.
- Bard: I do not understand. Why would he risk open war upon his kingdom?
- Thranduil: [unsheathes his sword] It is fruitless to reason with a dwarf. They only understand one thing.
- Dain: Good morning. How are we all? I have a wee proposition, if you don't mind giving me a few moments of your time. Would you consider... JUST SODDING OFF! All ye, right now!
- Bard: Stand fast!
- Gandalf: Come now, Lord Dain.
- Dain: Gandalf the Grey. Tell this rabble to leave or I'll water the ground with their blood.
- Gandalf: There is no need for war between Dwarves, Men, and Elves. A legion of Orcs march on the mountain. Stand your army down.
- Dain: I will not stand down before any elf! Not least this faithless Woodland sprite! He wishes nothing but ill upon my people! If he chooses to stand between me and my kin, I'll split his pretty head open! See if he's still smirking then!
- Thranduil: He's clearly mad like his cousin.
- Dain: Ya hear that, lads? We're on! Let's give these bastards a good hammering!
- [Thranduil's army of Mirkwood Elves arrives in Dale]
- Bard: My lord Thranduil. We did not look to see you here.
- Thranduil: I heard you needed aid.
- [a carriage full of food approaches and the citizens of Lake-town rush to the carriage in relief]
- Bard: You have saved us. I do not know how to thank you.
- Thranduil: Your gratitude is misplaced. I did not come on your behalf. I've came to reclaim something of mine.
- Gandalf: You must set aside your petty grievances with the Dwarves. War is coming! The cesspits of Dol Guldur have been emptied. You're all in mortal danger.
- Bard: What are you talking about?
- Thranduil: I can see you know nothing of Wizards. They are like winter thunder on a wild wind rolling in from a distance, breaking hard in alarm. But sometimes a storm is just a storm.
- Gandalf: Not - this time. Armies of Orcs are on the move. These are fighters! They have been bred for war. Our enemy has summoned his full strength.
- Thranduil: Why show his hand now?
- Gandalf: Because we forced him. We forced him when the Company of Thorin Oakenshield set out to reclaim their homeland. The Dwarves were never meant to reach Erebor. Azog the Defiler was sent to kill them. His master seeks control of the Mountain. Not just for the treasure within but for where it lies, its strategic position. This is the gateway to reclaiming the lands of Angmar in the North. If that fell kingdom should rise again, Rivendell, Lrien, the Shire, even Gondor itself, will fall.
