Quote from Brad in Howard's End
Jill: Brad, did you kill Howard? Brad: Yes. Jill: If he's dead, why isn't he floating on the top? Brad: I stuck a ball bearing in his mouth. Jill: Oh, Brad! [doorbell rings] Brad: Mom, that's Jennifer. What am I gonna do? Jill: Well, you're gonna have to tell her the truth. Spare her the ball bearing thing.
