Corrected entry: In Lake-town, where the dwarves are surrounded by villagers and presented to the master of Lake-town, Stephen Fry exclaims: "Welcome, by Christ, welcome!" Jesus Christ was not a part of their culture. They believed in beings such as the Ainur.

Correction: The Master does not say 'by Christ, he says 'thrice'.This is an old term meaning 'three times'. The line reads thus: "Welcome, thrice welcome". This is also a title of a track from the soundtrack album.
