* Used in ''[[Grosse Pointe Blank]]'', where Martin claims that he's better than a psychopath ''because'' he kills for money (while psychopaths have no reason at all). He quickly backtracks into a [[That Came Out Wrong]], of course.

** In ''[[Discworld/Pyramids|Pyramids]]'', the [[Murder, Inc.|Assassin's Guild]] says that killing for money is the only sincere reason to kill, unlike killing "for honor" or "for love". Since they value life, they only kill for a lot of money. They also only kill people capable of defending themselves (skilled fighters or those rich enough to hire their own assassins) and have a list of rules of how a person can be killed, such as not killing bystanders.<ref>although, as Teatime learnt, that one's more of a guideline</ref>
