Thorin Oakenshield:
[calling down the hall, from the armory to Bilbo]
Master Baggins, come here.
[Bilbo tentatively wanders over]
Thorin Oakenshield:
You're going to need this.
[Thorin holds up the mithril shirt - the same one Bilbo gave Frodo in Fellowship of the Ring]
Thorin Oakenshield:
Put it on.
[Bilbo takes it and slips it on over his shirt]
Thorin Oakenshield:
This vest is made of silver steel. Mithril, it was called by my forebears. No blade can pierce it.
Bilbo Baggins:
[laughing slightly at how he looks]
I look absurd! I'm not a warrior, I'm a Hobbit.
Thorin Oakenshield:
It is a gift. A token of our friendship.
[Bilbo offers a small smile. Thorin glances at the Dwarves in the armory, lowering his voice]
Thorin Oakenshield:
True friends are hard to come by.
[Shoves BIlbo, none too kindly, further down the tunnel, out of earshot]
Thorin Oakenshield:
I have been blind... but now I begin to see. I am betrayed!
Bilbo Baggins:
[nervously]
Betrayed?
Thorin Oakenshield:
The Arkenstone.
[leans closer to Bilbo, lowering his voice even more]
Thorin Oakenshield:
One of them has taken it.
[Both Bilbo and Thorin glance back towards the armory]
Thorin Oakenshield:
One of them is false.
Bilbo Baggins:
[carefully]
Thorin... the quest is fulfilled. You've won the mountain. Is that not enough?
Thorin Oakenshield:
Betrayed by my own kin...
Bilbo Baggins:
N-no, uh. You made a promise to the people of Laketown. I-is this treasure truly worth more than your honor? Our honor, Thorin, I was also there. I gave my word.
Thorin Oakenshield:
[Thorin smiles]
For that, I am grateful. It was nobly done.
[smile fades]
Thorin Oakenshield:
But the treasure in this mountain does not belong to the people of Laketown.
[sounding more and more like Smaug]
Thorin Oakenshield:
This gold is ours. And ours alone. On my life, I will not part with a single coin. Not one piece of it.
Bilbo Baggins:
[Bilbo stares across at him in despair and maybe a little fear as the Dwarves march by, fully armed]
