“I paid my bill. Save your fucking pennies for a gun and a history book...”

“I looked at the woman crying over the doll and felt something else. I was sick of people acting against their own interests. Mooing about how to refinance the slaughterhouse. Putting skylights in the killing pen and pretending the bolt in the brain was a pathway to a better field. I paid my bill. Save your fucking pennies for a gun and a history book, I thought.”

“--Tell them to drop their guns and fuck off out of my way.--Allow him to--I clamp my arm tight.--That's not what I said.She gets it right this time.--Drop your guns and fuck off out of his way.They drop their guns and fuck off out of my way.”

“A Penny Saved is a Penny Earned”

“In many ways I was an independent woman. For years I'd made my own choices, paid my own bills, shoveled my own snow.”

“A penny saved is worth two pennies earned . . . after taxes. ”
