Shameless

“A soft spot for animals, huh? Just like me! I just love ‘em. I don’t have any now. Can I come over and pet yours? Have you named ‘em yet?”

“That’s a shame, you should go out and get yourself a pup. I don’t see why not, he’d probably like seeing a face other than mine anyway. I haven’t maybe you can help me fix that.”

“Well unless you’re younger than twenty-one you’ve got nothing to worry about, pal. I do see your point though, I also don’t understand how you can be drafted and enlisted in the military at eighteen but can’t have alcohol. I don’t make the rules though.”

“well,” lilo started. “one day you’re going to find that person that isn’t going to give you a reason to be jealous. who knows maybe you’re just hanging around with the wrong kind of people.” she told him. 

“Well this conversation turned out to be a lot deeper than what I had expected it to be. Thanks though, I’ll, uh, keep that in mind for sure.”

‘now that’s not fair, i’m not a lawyer. don’t make the pup suffer’

“I can’t have the pup around someone who didn’t help him have a loving home, sorry. It would be too much negativity for the poor thing.”

“ok, which are you? and don’t say you’re neither, don’t be that guy, be real with me.” 

“Definitely jealous. It’s shit though, seems to get in the way of a lot of things.”

‘ill help you defend your case if you let me play with it’ 

“Deal, but if it doesn’t work you’re not allowed to play with him again.”

“Shut it, you. I tried to be experimental, put myself in others’ shoes, try a different walk of life– never again.”

“And of all things you could have possibly tried, that was the first one to come to mind. This is why you need me around to help you not make those kinds of decisions, man. What are those things even made out of anyway?”

“Being able to drink alcohol freely without worrying about getting a MIP would be another.”

“negative five. get a pembroke welsh corgi and name it mr. reginald. get chinese takeout on your way home.”

“Oh man, Corgis are the shit. But I got a miniature schnauzer and he’s yet to be named. As for the Chinese takeout, that’s not too bad of an idea. I love Chinese food so it would be a win-win.”

“Why didn’t you just get both? Then your roommate will be double the happy, a puppy and food, it would be like Christmas.”

“I was in a hurry and ended up just going back home after buying the dog. I’ll probably get the food and stuff today. So there, Christmas in June.”

“If your roommate is mad you have a dog, I highly suggest you move.”

“Right, then me and my dog could live on the corner of main street and beg for spare change.”

“I’d sacrifice myself before the dog, so I’d say slim to none.”

“Depends on your roommate, do they like dogs?”

“I’m not too sure, but I’m hoping that they do.”

“As much as I’d like for that plan to work, he’s got too much energy for his size so he’s shaky, especially around people. Luckily, I don’t think she has any allergies so that’s a reason to keep it.”
