There are only two reasons that minions don't kill you as soon as you are discovered. The first is that the 'boss' wants to do you himself, and the second is that he wants to gloat before he has his minions do it for him.

The whole of the night scene came together in a clear, tranquil harmony. — Yasunari Kawabata
