That's just what a Bond villain would say.
Beatrice's robot horse seems a bit derpy and unfinished for her. A robo-Arabian, or robo-warmblood at least, would be more her speed, though the demon-tail is a nice touch. I can imagine that equinoid robots might lag in development behind humanoid ones, but I'd have thought Beatrice would have left to underlings the testing of prototypes that maaaaaaaalfunction to that extent. Interestingly, robo-dobbin is wearing no bridle, so I wonder how Beatrice guides it. Obviously she can use her legs in the usual way, and perhaps the stun-gun is also a remote-control. I certainly hope robo-dobbin is not a sentient AI!
What's up with Tilly's eyes? Do they live an independent existence in her glasses?

I mean, other than to show how evil she is.

To show how callous she is.
Hopefully 30/30 is non-sentient.

That's why I don't know why she'd even bother with molding Hannelore into her heir. Considering her ex-husband's research in robotics and artificial intelligence coupled with her vast wealth I'd think she'd be seeking a way to download her consciousness into a robot duplicate. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if much of the pro AI legislation got passed so she could have the legal right to own her corporation as an AI.
I know it's been awhile since we saw Beatrice Elicott Chatham and Jeph's style has evolved, but I don't recall her eyes being pink. Maybe she had some work done.

I think it's a matter of personal pride and tradition for Beatrice. I'd also wager that she has no fear of death.
Tova:
I have to admit that, when I read Beatrice's reply "Of course you need an assistant! You're an Ellicott-Chatham," I immediately thought of Tywin (Game of Thrones) shouting at Tyrion, "Because you're a Lannister!"
