She argued that Wile E., with all the resources he wasted on gadgets, could have been living high on the hog.“ He was so skinny, ” she complained after she had Googled him and watched a few skits on YouTube. “Poor thing, he looks like a size-zero model.”“ But, Love, no other food would have satisfied him. He only wanted the Road Runner. He was obsessed with her. Obsession does not allow for satisfaction. You can never really eat your cake and have it too, which is the only way you can satisfy your obsession by devouring and yet having the object of your fascination, ” I said from experience.“ But he really didn't want to catch it, ” she argued.“ What do you mean?”“ It was the chase he wanted. To eat the Road Runner would have ended that, ended his only reason for living. He isn't really that inept. He really didn't want to catch it.”“ I guess not, ” I said, thoughtfully. “It's the journey not the resolution that matters. If he caught her, he would lie down next to her and die too. .
