The Lord of the Rings:
They want to put the ring in a volcano? Here you have a ring, a weapon, really, a fantastic, terrific weapon..best weapon ever. And what do they want to do? Well we know what they want to do, the same thing they want to do with your guns. Do they want to use them? I say use the weapons. No, they want to —get this, this is gonna knock your socks off. They want to put the ring in a volcano. Can you believe it? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard! It is so stupid, you are not going to believe it! Really, really stupid. So stupid!
I mean, you can’t make it up! Fact is truly stranger than…stories. I’m gonna take that ring, if I have that ring it is going to be incredible! It’s gonna be something else!
I’m saying, you have the ring, you have a lot of leverage!
Let me tell you, I know something about leverage. I’ve built an incredible company. And I am SO PROUD of the company that I have built. I am so proud. What have the Elves built lately? What about Denethor? Don’t see them building anything. Three thousand years they’ve been fighting. Three thousand years. Vast swatches of time, we’re talking. And what do they have to show for it? Give me a break. Give me a break!
And I don’t know Sauron. I’m not paid by him. I think it would be great if we got along with Sauron; wouldn’t that be great? Why is that so bad?
You take that ring — and this is what I am going to do, without a doubt. WITHOUT A DOUBT. And you meet with Sauron, you got this leverage over him, you make a negotiation with him. A strong negotiation. It’s gonna be beautiful. A beautiful negotiation. And believe me, I am the man who is going to get it done.
Edit: Twitter version: Gandalf talking about sending Ring into volcano. Stupid or what? Take that ring and make a deal and I am going to do it. Believe me.
