What sort of folk are they?! Why, you would starve in a day.

[Frodo sounds so very shocked at the idea]

I bet you don't have the stickiest of fingers, because I do! I'm the best hobbit for it in Buckland.

Why, I have even made off with Farmer Maggot's mushrooms a number of times. [he pauses for dramatic effect; any hobbit worth their weight knows the value of a good pause in a story] Three times, which is two more than any other hobbit has dared. I would go back and make another run this instant if I could!

[Frodo's puffed his chest out in pride; most hobbits find the dogs too terrifying. He hasn't been caught yet and he won't ever.]

You're a grown up. You don't do these things, you try to stop them.

[he almost used the Responsible word at you.]
