Bilbo Baggins : Oh, up to but not exceeding one fourteenth total profit if any. Seems fair. Present company shall not be liable for injuries including but not limited to laceration, evisceration...incineration?

Bofur : Oh, aye. He’ll melt the flesh off your bones in the blink of an eye.

Balin : You all right, laddie?

Bilbo Baggins : Yeah, I’ll be. Feel a bit faint.

Bofur : Think furnace, with wings.

Bilbo Baggins : Yeah, I-I-I need air.

Bofur : Flash of light, searing pain, then poof, you’re nothing more than a pile of ash.

Bilbo Baggins : [long pause] Nope.

[faints] 

Gandalf : Very helpful, Bofur.
