Marry: As well, I want you to know that I’m not my brother’s keeper!

The idiom is actually derived from a Bible’s verse saying, “And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?” In the current use, the American President Barrack Obama said the contrary as saying, “I am my brother’s keeper” that refers to his policy in “ordering the American to do ‘forced-charity.’”
