i found a shelter and garden,[00:00:17]

on the corner of fountain and vine.[00:00:19]

it's made for gamblers who lose,[00:00:21]

a place for brave men to whine.[00:00:23]

every so often there's trouble,[00:00:26]

somebody could lose a life.[00:00:27]

i just sit on the back porch,[00:00:30]

and eat apples with my knife.[00:00:32]

isabella comes to visit,[00:00:34]

she can talk all day and night.[00:00:36]

cursing the republican government,[00:00:38]

i can't say if she's wrong or right.[00:00:40]

i said i admired her hatred,[00:00:42]

i'm not one to take sides.[00:00:44]

she kissed me and tried to persuade me,[00:00:46]

so i had no choice, i had to lie.[00:00:49]

in the morning she left me a letter,[00:00:54]

i couldn't make out a single word.[00:00:56]

i'm sure it was something outrageous,[00:00:59]

about her trying to save the world.[00:01:01]

it was then that i got so depressed,[00:01:03]

in this world i make no difference.[00:01:05]

i just hang out with thieves,[00:01:07]

spitting apple seeds at the fence.[00:01:09]

so i picked up the la times,[00:01:11]

and read to page 22.[00:01:13]

it was there that i found my purpose,[00:01:16]

to help dogs from being abused.[00:01:18]

i began to tell all my friends,[00:01:20]

about these dogs in need.[00:01:22]

i said, “did you know in some parts of china,[00:01:24]

all the dogs have fleas?”[00:01:26]

they said i was crazy,[00:01:36]

laughed and shook their heads.[00:01:39]

said maybe i would have found jesus,[00:01:41]

in another girl's bed.[00:01:42]

but i was off to the white house,[00:01:45]

with 6 greyhounds and a sign.[00:01:46]

practiced my speech to the president,[00:01:49]

i memorized every line.[00:01:51]

after a few days i made friends,[00:01:53]

to help me with my cause.[00:01:55]

we even made the local news,[00:01:57]

chanting, lets save the dogs![00:01:59]

it brought a tear to my eye,[00:02:18]

they understood what i had to say.[00:02:20]

and just like isabella,[00:02:22]

i was talking all night and day.[00:02:24]

i was talking at the racetrack.[00:02:26]

i was talking on the radio.[00:02:28]

i was talking at the cathedral,[00:02:30]

and at the pound with my megaphone[00:02:32]

and then one sunny morning,[00:02:35]

preaching at the dog parade.[00:02:37]

i had a crowd of 2,000,[00:02:39]

hanging on every word i'd say.[00:02:41]

i swore i'd see them through.[00:02:43]

we'd fight until the end.[00:02:45]

when a bulldog barked right at me,[00:02:47]

and tore up my left hand.[00:02:49]

as the blood ran down my arm,[00:02:51]

from my elbow to the floor,[00:02:53]

i knew i'd lose my temper.[00:02:55]

i couldn't take anymore.[00:02:57]

i screamed, that's it, i give up![00:03:00]

these dogs don't give a damn![00:03:02]

they all called me a traitor,[00:03:04]

said, go back to from where you came![00:03:06]

so that's just what i did,[00:03:15]

and they welcomed me with open arms.[00:03:18]

and the freshest basket of apples,[00:03:20]

straight from cortez farms.[00:03:22]

i told isabella my story.[00:03:24]

i thought she'd understand.[00:03:26]

but she called me a failure,[00:03:29]

and knocked the fruit from my hands.[00:03:31]

i guess maybe she was right.[00:03:32]

i was just a phony from the start.[00:03:34]

but these apples never tasted sweeter,[00:03:36]

and i know who my real friends are[00:03:39]
