"But you like gold! Why can't I wear my own armor?"
"Stop complaining and do as you're told."
"It makes me look like Bilbo!"
"How many times have I told you, don't insult the Hobbit!"
"I'm not doing it."
"Kili, so help me –"
"But Fili isn't wearing it, either!"
"Fili!"
"It was grandmother's, Thorin. Please don't make me do it."
"By Durin's beard, you'll both be grounded until your mother gets here!"
"…. Does that mean we can't fight?"
"I'll lock you both in the dungeons."
'Sigh' "All right. Kili, let's get this over with."
"But I'll look like a princess!"
"It's better than having your heart stabbed through, boy!"
"Thorin's right, Kili. Come on, now; take off the gold and just put on the armor."
"Does it have to be mithril?"
