After getting his hands on the Time Machine, Legate decided to visit the Professor at the time he was writing LotR.
Tolkien: Hello. Sit down. I'm about to finish.
Legate: Wow! I'm indeed going to witness this glorious moment!
Tolkien: "...and thus, before Sam could come to his aid, Gollum strangled Frodo and ruled the Middle-Earth ever after."
Legate: Noooo!!!
OR
Harry Potter: Um - where is Professor Dumbledore?
OR
Tolkien: If I hear one more joke about uncloaking, winged or wingless balrogs or Telerian version of Celeborn's name, I will stop writing and you Downers may just disperse to the forums about Beverly Hills 90210!
