I came...

...to give you...

...this.

The Heart of the Mountain.

The King's Jewel.

And worth a king's ransom.

How is this...

...yours to give?

I took it as my 14th share
of the treasure.

BARD:
Why would you do this?

You owe us no loyalty.

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...

...imaginable,
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.

Now, Thorin...

...values this stone above all else.

In exchange for its return,
he will give you...

...what you are owed.

There will be no need...

...for war.
