Do you care how much money he's making? We're pirates, yes? If we need a motor car, we pluck it from the trees. If we need pretty polly, we take it, droogie. We don't pay the guy a thing, chum, what does he owe me or you?
If he's milking it, i spose that's between him and his patrones or whatever. If i had a cow, I'd milk it too, it's what you do ^_^
Really the concept of "milking it" is always portrayed in a negative light, but its fundamental to the human existence. Milking it is literally why you didn't have to eat dry cereal this morning XD
