Love is all I need...and maybe a clean diaper


One of our favorite scenes from the movie "The Jerk" is when Navin (Steve Martin) is leaving Marie (Bernadette Peters) and he goes through the list of things he needs:
"Well I'm gonna go then. And I don't need any of this. I don't need this stuff, and I don't need you. I don't need anything except this. 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."

One of our favorite outfits for Rebekah is a matching pants and onsie that reads, "love is all I need". But if Rebekah was in the movie she might feel differently. Her lines might read:

"Love is all I need and that's it. I don't need anything except love. And that's it and that's the only thing I need. I don't need this or this. Love is all I need. And my bottle. Love and my bottle and that's all I need. And this blankie. Love, my bottle, and this blankie and that's all I need. And this pacifier. Love, my bottle, this blankie, and this pacifier. And Marcus. Love, my bottle, this blankie, this pacifier, and Marcus and that's all I need. I don't need one other thing, not one. Oh, except maybe a clean diaper."
