My first passage is; "Never laugh at live dragons," because he did and almost payed for that mistake with his life. This is an important moment in the book because Bilbo realizes he should watch what he says. I believe this moment, as well as many others, has helped shape who he is. He probably has been the only person to talk back to a dragon, or at least the only person to have survived doing so. It also shows that it's better to tease less, or to be more subtle. This quote was from page 216.
My second passage is; "The Arkenstone! The Arkenstone!" Mostly because Thorin is going to hate Bilbo. for taking it. Bilbo pretty much betrayed him by taking it, knowingly or unknowingly. If Thorin is mad enough he might terminate the contract he made with Bilbo. It might also ruin their friendship. Found on page 210.
My last picked passage is; "Smaug is dead!" I chose this line because it means that the surrounding area will be free from his reign of terror. It signifies also that any foe, no matter how strong or smart they may be, can be defeated. Dwarves can go back to the mountain and claim what is rightfully theirs. The prophecies have come true, and the entire area around the mountain will prosper once more. Page 240.
