Wayne: Well excuse me, master, but why didn’t you take the ring from the Hobbits?!

Sauron: I saw no need. I shall obtain The Ring from the Pit after the Hobbits have been consumed by the flames.

Wayne: Don’t you see a little problem with your plan?

Sauron: My plan is perfect! How dare you insult the perfectness of my perfect plan!

Wayne: But you are dropping them into the fires of Mt. Doom!

Sauron: Yeesss… and after that I shall obtain the Ring! You have to pay attention when you’re at the meetings, Wayne!
