N is for NECESSITY.

No one chooses this sort of life because they're bored, or because they have nothing better to do. They do it because this is the sort of thing that needs doing, and sometimes, necessity is what gets to drive the boat. They do it because it's not right for the weak to be dominated by the strong, or for wrongs to go unavenged...or for unicorns to die for nothing. They do it because there's not really a choice, not when you get down to the bottom of things.

They do it because sometimes you do what's right, no matter what it takes...no matter what it costs you. And in this business, sometimes what it costs you is going to be everything.

I was hoping N was for NARGLES.

'They do it because sometimes you do what's right, no matter what it takes...no matter what it costs you. And in this business, sometimes what it costs you is going to be everything.'

That should be the Price family motto.

And sometimes, it's even worth it. You know, when you do it for the Family.

I'm reminded of the description of the demon hunter character class from one of my RPG books which had the opposite view point.

"Why do this? Because it's the ultimate extreme sport! It puts alligator wrestling and BASE jumping to shame."

"We're gonna need a bigger gun" is probably the actual motto.

Though sometimes, when I wake up in horrible pain and I can't stand up straight or walk without a stick, I wonder if that particular family was worth it.
