set the fire on fire

said to a person who is doing more harm than good but because you're already in such a horrifying situation, which you think couldn't get worse, that it doesn't matter as this person's efforts are pointless and wouldn't make any difference.
A: I can't believe that you two broke up.

B: he learned what have I been doing... Jes is going to tell him that I cheated on him with john. She's just setting the fire on fire I've told so many lies , another one won't hurt

(imagine two criminals that are stuck in a room and if they can't manage to get out they'll die. there's only a desk and an old phone in this room and the police is already after them)
A: what are doing?!
B:I'm calling the police
A:what?! whatever, set the fire on fire we're going to die anyway/ we're gonna get arrested anyway

I don’t like the question. It’s a weird way to frame it.
Dr. I’m running out of names “Do you believe that the truth will set you free?”

Iam “I don’t like the question. And I don’t like it because it’s a loaded question. There’s this implicit assumption that I’m subjugated and then we get into this semantic realm where we’re trying to figure out what we’re being freed from and it’s just not all that interesting. ‘Well, through truth we’re freed from our ignorance’ and that’s just a banal answer that doesn’t really answer the question in spite of the fact that it answers the question. Beyond that you could say that ‘Well, we are all subjugated by those who lie with impunity and only the truth can free us from the illusory world they’ve created’ and that’s not very entertaining either. Better question (or more interesting as least) would be ‘What happens if you tell the truth about me?’ Do you lie to keep the devil in his cage? Even though God told you not to? Do you eat the forbidden fruit? He did tell you not to do it but he knows damn well your going to do it. You tell the truth I’m out of the cage. ‘What does he do when he’s out of the cage? What will he say? People should ignore and mock him but what happens if they don’t? I didn’t. I listen and did what he said. What does that say about me?’ Now that’s far more interesting. I had another one but I can’t quite remember...”
