Gollum : Wasn't talking to you!

Bilbo Baggins : Why don't we have a game of riddles... Just, just you and me.

[gestures]
Bilbo Baggins : ...You show me the way out, yes?
Gollum : [nods] Yes, Yes...
[Gollum's pupils narrow as he becomes Treacherous Gollum. He growls as he back into the shadows; Bilbo looks uneasy]
Gollum : [sinister whisper] And if it loses... what then?
[Gollum blinks; as Friendly Gollum]
Gollum : Well... if it loses, Precious. then we EATS it!
[Gollum giggles sinisterly; then he turns to Bilbo]

Gollum : Baggines? What is Bagginses?... Precious.

Gollum : [to Bilbo; after answering the first riddle] Our turn...
[reciting riddle; as he recites, Gollum menacingly creeps around a rock, not taking his eyes off of Bilbo, who slowly and cautiously steps away from him]
Gollum : Voiceless it cries; Wingless flutters; Toothless bites; Mouthless mutters.
[he glares at Bilbo deviously]
Bilbo Baggins : Just a minute...
[Bilbo walks away to think]
Gollum : [his pupils widen; as Friendly Gollum] Ooo, Ooo! We knows! We knows!
[as treacherous Gollum]
Gollum : Shut up!
Bilbo Baggins : [Bilbo sees ripples in the lake, made by the wind; he smiles] Wind...
Bilbo Baggins : [turning to Gollum] It's wind, 'course it is.
[Gollum growls]
Gollum : [prowling towards Bilbo] Very clever, hobbitses... VERY CLEVER...
Bilbo Baggins : [holds out his sword towards Gollum, stopping him; reciting] A... A box without hinges, key, or-or lid... and yet, golden treasure inside is... hid.
Gollum : [Gollum creeps away to think; as he is thinking, he begins to mutter and whisper to himself] Box... um uh... Box... lid... and a key...
Bilbo Baggins : Well?
Gollum : [annoyed; pointing at Bilbo] It's nah-stee.
[He continues to whisper to himself]
Bilbo Baggins : Give up?
Gollum : [strained] Oh, give us a chance, precious! Give us a CHANCE!
[Gollum continues to groan, growl, grunt and hiss in frusteration. As he thinks, he makes faces; making "oo" sounds and blowing raspberry sounds with his lips stretched when suddenly, his eyes open wide and his mouth is agape]
Gollum : *EGGSES!*
[Gollum chuckles as Bilbo shakes his head, dismayed]
Gollum : Eggses! Wet, crunchy little eggses! Grandmother taught us how to suck them, yes! heh, heh...
-
Bilbo Baggins : [1st riddle] Thirty white horses, on a red hill; First, they champ. Then they stand; the, they stand still.
[Gollum pauses; thinking]
Gollum : [unsure] Uh... Teeth?
[Bilbo looks defeated]
Gollum : [excitedly] TEETH!
[Gollum laughs; Bilbo smiles half-heartedly]
Gollum : Yes! my precious!
[inhales deeply]
Gollum : [very serious] But we, we... we only have... NINE.
[He bares his nine, crooked, yet sharp teeth; to show emphasis]
-
Gollum : [searching for "his precious"; the one ring; wails in despair] Lost! My precious is LOOOOSSST!
[Gollum lets out a gasping sob; Bilbo takes the One Ring out of his pocket and hides it behind his back]
Bilbo Baggins : [concerned] What have you lost?
Gollum : [crying] Mustn't ask us! Not its business! Noooo... Gollum! Gollum!
[Gollum sobs softly]
-
Bilbo Baggins : [feeling the One Ring in his pocket; to himself] What... have I got... in my pocket?
[Gollum; who is crouching on a stalagmite, holding a rock he is meaning to throw at Bilbo, scowls, thinking Bilbo's question as a riddle]
Gollum : That's not fair... That's not fair! It's against the *rules*!
[In a hissy fit, Gollum throws the rock down. Bilbo looks on in amazement]
Gollum : [pouting] Ask us another one!
Bilbo Baggins : [points his sword at Gollum] No, no. You said, "ask me a question." Well, *That* is MY question. "What Have I Got In My Pocket?"
[Gollum growls in reluctance as he jumps down from his stalagmite perch and crouches on the floor beside his hideout]
Gollum : [holding up only two fingers] It must give us three guesses, precious! It must give us *three*!
Bilbo Baggins : Three guesses, very well. Guess away!
Gollum : [holds up his hands] Handses!
Bilbo Baggins : [shows Gollum that his left hand is out of the pocket] Wrong. Try again.
[Gollum groans in frustration]
Gollum : [rummaging through his belongings in his hole; to himself] I've got Fishses bones, Goblinses bones, Bat's wings, food...
[He growls; thinking hard; he slaps his hands down repeatedly when...]
Gollum : [shouts] *KNIFE*! Oh, shut up!
Bilbo Baggins : Wrong again. Last guess.
Gollum : String... or nothing!
Bilbo Baggins : Two guesses at once. Wrong both times.
Gollum : [groans; defeated] Ooooooohhh...
[as he groans; Gollum flops on his side. He lies in a fetal position as he sobs softly]
-
[Bilbo is trying to escape Gollum and gets stuck in a crevice. Gollum sees him. With an angry screech, Gollum prowls towards him]
Gollum : [ferociously] It's ours... It's...
[snarls]
Gollum : OURS!
[as Gollum shrieks, Bilbo unsticks himself; his brass buttons from his vest pop and fly. Gollum looks startled as one of the buttons bounces off his nose]
-
Gollum : [having discovered Bilbo; maliciously gleeful] Bless us and splash us, precious! THAT'S a meaty mouthful. ah...
[Gollum creeps forward; Bilbo lifts up his sword so that it's tip touches Gollum's throat. Gollum gawks at the blade, taken aback]
Gollum : Ah... Gollum, Gollum! Ack!
[He glares at Bilbo fearfully and slowly backs away]
-
Gollum : What has it got in its nasty little pocketses?
-
Gollum : Ahh. We have one for you: All things it devours, birds, beasts, trees, flowers. Gnaws iron, bites steel, grinds hard stones to meal. Answer us.
Bilbo Baggins : Give me a moment, please, I gave you a good long while. Please. Please. Please. I don't know this one.
Gollum : Is it tasty? Is it scrumptious? Is it crunchable?
Bilbo Baggins : Let me think. Let me think.
Gollum : It's stuck. Bagginses is stuck. Time's up.
Bilbo Baggins : Time. Ti - the answer is time. Actually, it wasn't that hard.
-
[Gollum discovers that Bilbo has the One Ring in his possession]
Gollum : [horrified whisper] He stole it.
[Bilbo stands there; holding Sting out in front of him]
Gollum : [anger rising] He stole it!
[Gollum's face contorts with rage; then he lets out a scream of extreme fury]
Gollum : [shouts] AAAAARRRRAAAAHHHHH! He *STOLE* it!
[as he says this, Gollum throws a stone at Bilbo, who blocks it with his sword. The rock hits and bounces off the sword with a "clang". Bilbo immediately bolts for his life. Gollum screams in fury as he chases after him]
-
Gollum : Oh! We like Goblinses, batses, and fishes, but we hasn't tried Hobbitses before. Is it soft? Is it juicy?
-
Gollum : Lost? Lost? Lost? Where is it? Where is it? No! Ahh! Where is it? No! No! Lost! Curses and splashes, my precious is lost!
Bilbo Baggins : What have you lost?
Gollum : Mustn't ask us! Not its business! No! Gollum, Gollum.
-
Gollum : Give it to us! It's ours. It's ours! Thief! Baggins!
-
Gollum : Nasty goblinses. Better than old bones, Precious.
-
Gollum : It's got an elfish blade, but it's not an Elfs. Not an Elfs, no. What is it, Precious? What is it?
-
Gollum : What has roots as nobody sees, is taller than trees. Up, up, up it goes, and yet, never grows.
Bilbo Baggins : The mountain.
Gollum : Yes, yes, oh, let's have another one, eh? Yes, come on, do it again, do it - do it again. Ask us.
