Why does Thorin leave Bilbo when the key hole is not found?
In The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug when the key hole is not found on the Lonely Mountain, why do Thorin and all the dwarfs get disappointed so quickly and leave Bilbo, while Bilbo remains positive?
This was the dwarfs' fight not Bilbo's, still he believed that there will be a way. This scene was really disappointing for me, because they worked with so much dedication and all the trouble they have gone through just to loose hope so quickly. Kindly help me understand this situation.

They only had a brief window of time in which they had to operate, the last light of Durin's day. When the sun set, they thought their only opportunity was gone. Bilbo wasn't limited in thinking about the small window of time like the others, so he kept at it, and eventually realized the last light of Durin's day was the moonlight.
