“Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man.”
“A man. A dead man. A dead man with no arms.”
“Hit the Dead for they won't listen, Hit the Dead for they don't know,Hit the Dead they're all imprisoned,Hit the Dead before they go...”
“So that makes us robbers of robbers," said Bug, "who pretend to be robbers working for a robber of other robbers.”
“Do the dead frighten you?”
“The whiskey kicked like a mugger.”
