Gollum
Keeper of the Precious
“I have one big idea and limited savings. Play it safe or bet on it?”
Safe, yes, safe, keep the savings close, precious, hide them deep where thieves can't finds them... No! Sméagol says master's idea is master's precious, and we swore to serve it! Bet it, bet it all... but tricksy, yes. Spends only a little first, tests if it wriggles like fissssh, keeps some coins in our pocketses.
We wants both, precious. We always wants both.
