"Because she built this house and supported us when we were children."
"I don't like it. Besides, we shouldn't borrow money for our groceries."
"We wouldn't be borrowing money for groceries if we all purchased enough. Remember the last tantrum you threw when you demanded we live on only $200 instead of the $400 it actually costs?"
"It would only cost $200 if we could simply drown granny in the upstairs bathtub. My friend Ayn says that her family did that with their useless eaters."

"No, please! Anything but that!"
"I mean it, and I'm just crazy enough to do it. The house and all my stuff, burned to the ground. You don't want that on your conscience, do you?"
"How about if I let you steal some of granny's savings if you promise to not burn down the house?"
