>Elrond: Gandalf, the competition is moving. Sauron's assets are massing in the banks; his eye is fixed on real estate. And Saruman, you tell me, has dropped our ratins. Our list of buyers grows thin.
>Gandalf: His treachery runs deeper than you know. By foul craft, Saruman has crossed Bonds with Trust Funds. He's creating a bubble in the housing market of Isengard. A system that can wash black money and change hands at speed. Saruman is coming for the Profit.
>Elrond: This credit cannot be covered by the currencies of the Elves. We do not have the GDP to bailout both Mordor and Isengard. Gandalf, the responisbility cannot stay here. This debt belongs to all of Middle-Earth. They must decide now how to pay it. The time of the Elves is over, my people are selling their shares. Who will you look to when we've defaulted? The Dwarves? They seal capital away in vaults, preparing for the gold standard. They care nothing for the fiat currencies of others.
