gandalf: alright frodo, so i've just rode to minas tirith and back to come back here and check if your ring is the one ring, so lemme just... yep, that's the one ring alright.
frodo: oh well... that sucks.
gandalf: i know, right? ahahaha... ah well, guess you're going to have to take it all the way to mordor!
frodo: mordor... as in... the place just down the road from Minas Tirith
gandalf: yep
frodo: as in the place you just went to
gandalf: yeeeeep
frodo: the place you rode to and from just to check if this was the one ring
gandalf: that's about the size of it
frodo: did it... did it never occur to you to TAKE the ring there?
gandalf: ...w...what?
frodo: you're on the doorstep of the place you needed to take it to anyway, so why didn't you just... take the ring... read some scrolls... check if it was the one ring... and then pop off down to mordor?
gandalf: well... because...
frodo: instead, you're going to make me, a prepubescent 3 foot tall prick, take the ring, ON FOOT, all the way across the continent
gandalf: well... yes?
frodo: and how did you get there and back so quickly?
gandalf: i... i had shadowfax...
frodo: and were you going to let me ride him at all? because it might help. it might help a lot gandalf.
gandalf: but... he's... kind of my horse...
frodo: no. no, you know what, fuck this. i quit. i quit.

Interesting Fact about Idina Menzel
So I was just talking to my friend and she went the same high school as Idina Menzel.  She told me that when Ms. Menzel was in high school, she never got any roles in the shows. HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA But this is so typical!  I never got any roles in high school, either, and now I’m singing lead roles in professional operas.  Go figure. Moral of the story: Never give up on what you love. ...
