I can't tell you...this is all I have:

[Gimli grabs an axe and approaches the pedestal]
Gimli: ARGH!!!!
[Gimli strikes the Ring with full force but is repelled back, throwing him to the ground. Concurrently, Frodo sees the Eye of Sauron in his mind and winces in pain. The Ring remains intact with the shards of the axe all around it]
[Whispers in the black tongue issue forth from the Ring]
Elrond: The Ring cannot be destroyed, Gimli, son of Gloin by any craft that we here possess. The Ring was made in the fires of Mount Doom. Only there can it be unmade. It must be taken deep into Mordor and cast back into the fiery chasm from whence it came.
[Ring whispers: Ash Nazg]
Elrond: One of you must do this.
[Dead silence from the council]

Oh well, thanks. Oh dear, poor Bilbo's just flipped out over the Ring. Dear old hobbit... he seems like a childhood friend to me. It's so hard to look at him, old, and remember the times he saved the Dwarves or fought Goblins, or even the time he found the Ring. Nobody - not even Tolkien! - knew what an event that was!
