Senile Rodent: "Yeah, right. Feed them, clothe them, and fix them when they're broken. After all, you paid good money for them. Then you've got to keep an eye on them all the time." Birdbrain: "Better than having to give them wages on top of that." Senile Rodent: "Specially when they make more slaves for you and produce their own food and clothes." MID: |
