Elrond So you know that ring you just cut off Sauron's finger? You should probably throw it in the volcano, which is right here.

Isildur How about no.

...

Elrond Ok look that's definitely Sauron and he's definitely coming back, let's go do something about it.

Saruman Or you could take Galadriel home and let me handle this.

...

Elrond Welcome to the Council of Elrond.

Elrond EVERYONE SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP

Elrond WE ARE DEFINITELY DOING THE DESTROYING THE RING THING THIS TIME

Elrond NO EXCUSES
