T-Rex: When you borrow money from someone, they usually charge you interest. I just now figured out why!
T-Rex: It's RENT MONEY.
T-Rex: The lender is renting out money, just the same as if they'd rented out a helicopter! And just like the familiar helicopter rental, I've got to pay money to rent it - usually proportional to the value of the thing borrowed and for how long I've got it.
T-Rex: Also, eventually, I've PROBABLY got to return the helicopter.
Utahraptor: That's what interest is, T-Rex! It's rent.
T-Rex: I always thought it was something special!
T-Rex: But the only difference between interest and rent is that interest is paid in the same medium as the thing borrowed, which, in a single word, is KINDACRAZY. It's like renting a helicopter, and then, paying rent in tiny pieces of helicopter!
Utahraptor: You're big into helicopter analogies, huh?
T-Rex: Utahraptor, how long have we been friends?!
T-Rex: Your question insults us both
