I wasn’t a killer yet. I became one for you.”
He’s evil. He’s twisted. He’s my everything.

“Why don’t you go sit by the tree and check out which presents are yours? Hint: it’s all of them.
The sounds of bound and struggling people coming from the other room interrupt his bullshit.
“Now, now, Snowflake. We were having such a nice evening
