Everything I Need


Sunglasses, a beer, and my dog. That's all I need!

And that's it and that's the only thing I need, is this. I don't need this or this. Just this ashtray. And this paddle game, the ashtray and the paddle game and that's all I need. And this remote control. The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that's all I need. And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game and the remote control and the lamp and that's all I need. And that's all I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one - I need this. The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. And this. And that's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair.

Bah . . . cats are optional. Don't get me wrong, Sonny's cool as far as cats are concerned, but y'know. He's a frickin' cat.

You wanna borrow him for a few weeks, Allergy Chick? : P

I'm going to edit my post to include the title of the movie from which that quote was taken . . . I have no use for a paddle game.
