Life Quote by Sadie
“On the second day God created the monkey. God said, Entertain people, do monkey tricks and make them laugh. I'll give you a twenty-year life span. The monkey said, Monkey tricks for twenty years? I don't think so. Dog gave you back ten, so that's what I'll do too, okay? And God agreed.”
