Roseanne quipped, "The keys have been handed over. This one, I can't give you."

"Why not?"

"Exactly! If we bought it, we can move it whenever we want."

"That's why we need to keep the key. It'll make things easier when we move."

Scales smirked, "Edna has been trying to push us out just for this machine. Looks like her plans are going to fall through!"
