An eye for an eye... and a tooth for a toothbrush.

Or what if, instead of painting with a brush,

Hey! Stinky wife! Go get me a new toothbrush now!

If they don't have the will or the tools to go out there with guns, they'll go out with a paintbrush.

Anyone can hold a brush. Just buy the paint and get down to it.

And he shows up on their porch, their doorstep, with a toothbrush and pajamas, and he's ready to spend the week with them.
