So, my brother (who works at Best Buy and right now has more money than all my family members combined) wants to buy Rock Band but insists that I pay $50. We've argued about this for the past 24 hours.
"I don't have any money Gregory. You get paid every day." "Save up. Take a loan from dad. You're paying."
"But -- you want it just as bad as I do! You'll buy it even if I don't pay up, I know you will."
"No! --- well, yes, I'll buy it, but I won't let you play it!" "I'll just play it when you're gone."
"No, cause I'll carry the disk around with me in my back pocket!" "Yeah. Right." The verdict of this situation (a common type between me and my brother) has yet to be reached.

(This very moment he is standing over my shoulder saying, "You WILL pay me.")
