Henry Grimes

"Health. Ih I had the health, I could do anything else.

The second would be money. Not a large sum of money, but just a constant flow of money to keep me in comfort the rest of my life.

Everlasting peace and everlasting goodwill amongst everyone. So there'll be no wars, and no excuse to drop that H-bomb, and all that shit. So I'll live in peace, and spend all that money in peace!"
