Sorry, can I talk to my daughter about this for a moment?

[The weapon guy nods, and Bob crouches down so he's eye level with Louise, his voice dropped to a whisper.]

We're not getting murdered here, okay? All those other "murders" were just accidents-- remember the first guy? He fell into the lake and it was too late for her to save him. That was an accident, and we don't need any weapons to fend off accidents, alright?

[A pause.]

....and I wouldn't use macechucks, I'd use a knifehammer. Just saying.
