The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey2012

[The doorbell rings; Bilbo goes to answer it and finds a dwarf.]

Dwalin:
[Bows] Dwalin, at your service.

Bilbo:
Uh, Bilbo...Baggins. At yours. [Dwalin walks in] Do we know each other?

Dwalin:
No. Which way, laddie? Is it down here?

Bilbo:
Is what down where?

Dwalin:
Supper. He said there'd be food and lots of it.

Bilbo:
He said? Who said?

[Dwalin proceeds to the kitchen and eats Bilbo's dinner]

Dwalin:
Very good, this. Any more?

Bilbo:
What? Oh, uh, yes, yes. [finds a jar of seed-cakes] Help yourself. [pauses as Dwalin eats away] It's just that, um, I wasn't expecting company.

[The doorbell rings]

Dwalin:
That'll be the door.

[Bilbo opens the door, the dwarf smiles and bows]

Balin:
Balin, At your service.

Bilbo:
[blankly] Good evening.

Balin:
Yes, it is. Though I think it might rain later. Am I late?

Bilbo:
Late for what?

Balin:
[catches Dwalin trying to get more scones out of another jar]OH! Evening, brother!

Dwalin:
[sets down the jar and smiles] Ho ho, by my beard! You are shorter and wider than last we met.

Balin:
Wider, not shorter. Sharp enough for both of us.

[Dwalin and Balin laugh and butt heads. They proceed to raid Bilbo's pantry while talking with each other]

Bilbo:
Excuse me? Sorry, I hate to interrupt, but the thing is I'm not entirely sure you're in the right house. It's not that I don't like visitors. I-I like visitors as much as the next hobbit, but I do like to know them before they come visiting. The thing is...uh...the thing is, I don't know either of you, not in the slightest. I don't mean to be blunt, but I had to speak my mind. I'm sorry.

Balin:
[suddenly noticing that Bilbo was talking] Apology accepted. [smiles, to Bilbo's growing confusion]
