Because I have gold.
From Create Your Own Story
The watchman looks at you with contempt.
"You're out of luck," he says coolly. "I happen to be one of the half dozen watchmen in this city who don't take bribes. That's why they put me here. So unless you have a good reason for me to let you pass, better go away, scum."
"You want to live, don't you?"
Or maybe you can just kill him.
