Whether these humans live or die is hardly any concern of mine. I will save those that I am instructed to save, or that I myself feel the desire to save. However, Sir, all lives hold equally little meaning.
[Her gaze shifts from the bread to make eye contact, since -- well, she's been talking to him for a while, and she's been pretty rude.]
It is life itself that has no meaning -- you are one person existing in one city within a country, itself within a continent, that finds itself located on a planet. That planet itself is quite small, of course! Earth is the fifth largest mass that may be considered a planet, of eight -- Jupiter, for instance, in terms of mass, is two and a half times larger than the other seven combined, and is still only one-thousandth of the Sun's size. It would take one thousand Jupiters to match the mass of the Sun, Sir! It would take approximately three hundred and eighteen thousand Earths to do the same.
... Ah, but I digress, although I suppose that there is still relevance to be found. The solar system in which our planet lies composes only a minuscule portion of our galaxy, which itself is only a small part of the group of galaxies in which we live, and so on until the edges of the universe which contains us is reached. However, even that is not the end! There exist multiple other universes outside of the singular one which you call home -- and all are doomed to vanish as if they scarcely existed, come God's awakening from His dream. That is the human existence, Sir. An infinitesimal, trifling speck, sustenance for the vast darkness merely steps beyond you.
As a result, I scarcely find reason to concern myself with the morality behind murder.
