Transcript:
Rat: I don't get it. I keep buying things to try and make myself happy, but none of it makes me happy. Goat: What does that tell you? Rat: I'm buying the wrong things. Goat: No. Rat: I need better, more expensive things!!
Rat and Goat are on such totally different wavelengths; I don’t know why they even go drinking together. [Well, because Cartoon-Boy writes it that way, okay; but I mean, what is their motivation?]
Rat- Click you heels and repeat: There’s no place like foam, there’s no place like foam. Remember, if you ever go looking for your heart’s desire, and it isn’t there, you never really lost it to begin with.
The stairway to Heaven cannot be bought or sold, it must be built with steps of love and….wait, there’s someone at my door, let me go get that….Oh my, what cute little rat you are, and what’s that you have behind your back….?!!!
I love Rat. They say money doesn’t buy happiness but how many billionaires do you know that are throwing their hands in the air and giving all of their money away so they can at last have happiness?

Maybe Rat needs to get an ugly tattoo of vaguely Oriental looking images…. That might make him happy.

Every cliche needs to be examined, and it’s become an awful cliche that things don’t bring happiness. Everyone says it, but few act on it.
Maybe it’s a matter of getting the things that go with what really interests you in life.
But why worry about the vanishing snack bowl? It obviously wasn’t making Rat happy.

Saw a bumper sticker in Marin County that said, “Those who think money cannot buy happiness, don’t know where to shop.”

No, just follow all the random, meaningless trends that pop up and disappear in a month, that makes you happy….

Money can’t buy happiness, but just try to be happy without it and see how far you get.
