Elrond is sitting on his throne, about to say something along the lines of, ‘We are all doomed! Doomed, I tell you, DOOMED!’ when something starts to ring. Everyone looks around curiously.
FRODO: What is THAT?
OTHERS: Don’t ask me!
Everyone continues to wonder about noise.
ELROND: Please wait a minute, everyone. I’ll be right back.
Everyone sits in silence for a minute, then:
BOROMIR: I saw this really awesome movie the other day-

MEANWHILE…
Elrond is trying to turn on phone.
ELROND: For the love of Elbereth!! Turn on!!
Miraculously, it does so.
VOICE: Hello?
Elrond groans.
ELROND (wearily): Hello?
VOICE: Hi!!!
ELROND: Who are you?
VOICE: My name is Miranda. Whyy?
ELROND: Because I want to know why youre calling me.
MIRANDA: To prove that Middle-Earth is real! DUH!
ELROND: Look, can I get back to you? I’m in the middle of a reeeally important council meeting, so-
MIRANDA: Is it THE Council?
ELROND: What do you mean, THE Council?
MIRANDA: I’ll tell you later.
CLICK.
Furious, Elrond returns to Council only to find that everyone is talking about movies.
Elrond sighs.
ELROND (mutters): This is not my day.
