In Mickey's eyes, Dave has everything he dreams of: a high-paying job, a very high social status, a beautiful wife who adores him, a perfect family, and a harmonious life. But in Dave's opinion, Mickey's carefree life without burdens and responsibilities is the "dream" perfection.
On a drunken night, the two of them expressed their deep feelings about life. When peeing under the wishing fountain and the goddess, I couldn't help but say "I want your life".
