Interior shot--Police interrogation room.We see Briscoe
and Green staring down Gollum across a table.
Green:Mind explaining why you cut Detective Baggins'
finger off during the arrest?
Gollum:He hasss my preciousss.It's ours,it is,and
we wants it.
Briscoe:Yeah,well,things are tough all over,pal.Now
what's the big deal with this ring you keep yammering
about?
Gollum:Iss a birthday present for my preciousss.Hobbitses
stole it....(pounds table)We hates them!
Green:Wait a second...you accusing Detective
Baggins of theft?You'd better be able to back it up,Mr.Smeagol...
(Lt.Van Buren comes in)
Van Buren:Guys,I think I know why Mr.Smeagol's
so worked up about that ring.I just talked to the lab,and
that little ring of his is packing some serious heat.We
put it under the microscope,and it almost melted the
lens.
Briscoe:So I'm guessing he didn't find it in
a box of Cracker Jacks,then.
