*Walks into a bank*
"Can I help you?"
"Yes, I'd like to withdraw one million dollars from my bank account."
"Um, sir, you don't even have an account with us."
"Is it possible that I might have an account with your bank?"
"No, I don't see you anywhere on..."
"Is it possible that in some alternate world I might have an account with your bank?"
"Well, sure but..."
"...and can we agree that if my hypothetical account had one million dollars in it, that would be a great thing?"
"Yes, it would be a great thing but..."
"...and to be a great thing, it must, by definition, exist."
"but that doesn't mean..."
"Are you suggesting that non-existent things can be great?"
"Well, I..."
"So since an account with a million dollars in it would be a great thing and since great things by definition exist, that means I have an account here with one million dollars in it."
"WHAT?"
"So I'd like to withdraw my one million dollars please."
