00:00I consider myself very, very lucky to have gotten to spend the time that I did with my
00:09grandmother over these past few years, and there's some consolation in knowing that I
00:15should never really be gone, and not as long as we remember her.
00:21So I hope that you all help us in remembering and celebrating the incredible life that she
00:28lived by joining us back at Monica's house.
00:36So unless there's anyone else who would like to say something.
00:58What the hell is this guy thinking?
01:05He's no.
01:06Talk about inappropriate.
01:08And you were worried about me.
01:14My name is Drew Quartermain, and I am here to honor my mother, Monica.
01:21Allow me to fact-check.
01:28Their name is Drew Quartermain.
01:31You are in no way related to Monica, and you are in no way invited to this ghetto.
01:39I have every right to be here, Joyce.
01:41You're delusional.
01:42You deny me the family name, that's fine.
01:45But Monica called me her son.
01:47That's what she called me.
01:48I have every right to say goodbye.
01:52You forfeited that right when you broke her heart.
01:55What are you doing, Tracy?
01:56What are you doing?
01:57I am escorting you out.
01:59You can stop, Tracy.
02:01Oh, no.
02:02I'm just getting started.
02:03Your presence is neither required nor desired.
02:12In fact, it's detested.
02:23Wow.
02:24That felt good.
02:26I guess I'm supposed to say something nice about my sister-in-law.
02:40I don't want to do it.
02:44I have.
02:48I've tried to avoid it.
02:53I just don't know if I can do it.
02:56Okay.
03:02Well, I'm going to try.
03:05Because I know if I don't, I'll, um, I'll regret it.
03:13Because.
03:18Because.
03:18Monica means that much to me.
03:26I know.
03:46I know you.
03:46It's an incredible story.
03:47And.
03:48so when i
03:59when i first met monica she was already engaged to my brother ellen
04:07my initial thought was she's beautiful it'll never last i assumed my brother would
04:16grow tired of her as he usually did then it would be over just as quickly as it started
04:25she was beneath us she wasn't good enough to marry into the quarter main family much less
04:35carry a quarter main heir but somehow she bamboozled my father my mother and my brother
04:43and it was up to me to make sure that all their eyes were open
04:48but i underestimated monica she was nobody's victim least of all mine and she gave as good as she got
05:04and somewhere between during or because of our epic battles
05:16i grew to respect her in fact that respect
05:24grew to love
05:27in the 45 years that we were family i came to accept
05:35that she was not only good enough
05:39to be one of us
05:41she was the best of us
05:49the quarter main family wouldn't be who we are without her
05:55she would do anything for the quarter mains
05:57she took care of us when we lost both my parents and my brother
06:04she's the one that kept their memories alive
06:09and that's so much to me
06:15i'm so sorry i never told her maybe i did
06:20i probably phrased it like an insult
06:25knowing that was our love language
06:33it was how we knew we cared
06:37i never for a moment thought
06:44that i would have to live my life
06:52without her
06:54but i was wrong
06:56again i do
06:57i am going to have to
07:00i'm gonna have to find my way in this world without her
07:05that won't be easy
07:11my brother made her my sister-in-law
07:17but she became my sister
07:24so my sister
07:32looks like i'm the last one standing
07:37but don't you worry
07:40that house is yours
07:44alan gave it to you
07:49and as long as i'm alive
07:54i promise you
07:57it'll stay that way
08:01well that was fast
08:23you changed your mind about going to the ceremony
08:26no i went
08:27briefly it would say
08:30yeah tracy kicked me out
08:31or she said she rolled me out
08:34and nobody there tried to stop her
08:36i was shocked
08:37it's not right martin
08:40it's not right
08:42there was a time
08:43when monica
08:45she loved me
08:47like she really loved me
08:48i'm sure she did
08:50once upon a time
08:52and i loved her too
08:54she was
08:55she was amazing
08:58she was there for me
08:59when i lost oscar
09:00she sat with me here in the hospital
09:02and she held my hand for hours
09:05and
09:06now all of a sudden
09:08that's not supposed to count for anything
09:09like that just gets erased
09:11like it never even happened
09:14no
09:14drew
09:15it happened
09:17along with a lot of other things since then
09:20okay so
09:21yeah
09:21now the quarter mains
09:22like
09:23they see me as the enemy
09:25they're angry
09:26the role you played
09:29in what happened
09:30between michael and willow
09:31yeah i'm angry too
09:33but
09:33the point is
09:34that shouldn't even matter
09:37what do you mean it shouldn't matter
09:38what because we're all angry
09:39like
09:40are you kidding me right now
09:41the quarter mains
09:42they live for a good fight
09:45and then
09:45then they always come together
09:48in the end
09:48because
09:49because family
09:51comes first
09:53no no listen
09:54it didn't happen did they
09:56no it didn't
09:57which is the ultimate proof that
09:59that they don't see me as family
10:03so it is
10:05more clear than it's ever been
10:08that i uh
10:10i'm not a quarter main
10:13and i never will be
10:17my heart goes out to all of you
10:21i thought it was
10:23a beautiful ceremony
10:25it was
10:26it was wasn't it
10:28yeah and i i think monica would have loved the way everyone came together
10:32everyone except drew
10:34oh well
10:36i don't know
10:37i i think that monica was looking down on us and watching and i think she got a big kick out of the way
10:43you showed drew the exit

11:46she was uh
11:47an incredible woman
11:48she was

12:20the geo's favorite
12:21you won't be able to resist
12:23okay
12:23look
12:23this isn't the time or the place
12:26to make up a reason to have a conversation with him
12:28i'm not telling you to pressure him into having a chat
12:31i'm just saying he showed up at the church
12:33i said something
12:35you know if he shows up at the house i think that'll say even more
12:38yeah we'll see
12:41we'll see
12:42get out there that bacon ain't gonna deliver itself
12:46love you
12:48you know when i lived here i did steal some of these glasses
12:58of course you did
12:59we'll let you do something huh
13:05she tossed me out of the kitchen twice already
13:07oh yeah she knows that i'm good with a serving tray
13:10you uh you look like you might be a dropper
13:13how are you holding up
13:17pretty much how you'd expect
13:20is there any truth to the rumor that uh
13:23lois and tracy were gambling in atlantic city last night
13:26oh i i don't think that they were gambling together
13:31i mean
13:31ma said that tracy wasn't doing much winning
13:35and ma won't put a dime on the table if the vibe or the math is off
13:40no that's true
13:40look i'm not done being mad at her
13:43but i do have to admit that she really came through for us
13:47yeah i mean i'm not happy with her either
13:50but uh it's true what they say about the quartermans
13:53they stick together
13:54even if they quite literally try to kill each other sometimes
13:57they always show up when it really matters
13:59yeah hey even the ones who uh don't even like us
14:02i was hoping that geo would come to the service
14:06but i didn't expect him to
14:07no me either
14:08and maybe next time he'll say more than hi and bye to us
14:12yeah i don't know
14:13maybe my shields are more worn down with everything that's going on
14:18but geo's anger just hurt more than usual today
14:22like it's just times like these
14:24everything lands a little harder
14:26i just hope i live long enough to
14:30see geo be a little less angry
14:33not just for our sake but for his
14:35we just gotta keep showing up
14:38all right that's all we can do
14:39yeah
14:40speaking of showing up tracy's speech that was incredible
14:44it was perfect
14:45yeah
14:45i was so proud of her
14:47yeah
14:47it's interesting she uh
14:49she reminded me of you
14:51i thought i might find you out here
14:57i saw you greeting people at the church
15:04that must have been a lot
15:07yeah i did it for monica you know
15:12i can't do it again here
15:15i don't blame you
15:19and i think everyone would understand if you wanted to take off
15:23i mean it's tempting
15:26but i need to be here
15:30and there's so many times i wasn't
15:33and i should have been
15:34no that's not true
15:37what that i wasn't here
15:39no
15:40that you weren't present
15:42when i lived here with my dad
15:45i don't think there was a day that went by that monica didn't mention you
15:51she loved telling stories about you
15:55gave her a lot to choose from
15:58so even though you weren't physically here jason
16:03your presence was felt
16:07your mom made sure of it
16:10monica were close ones
16:14and not even the almighty quarterman can take that away from you
16:18right
16:19but michael is the golden boy
16:22always has been
16:23i just
16:25i thought
16:26that monica still loved me enough to get past the whole michael willis situation
16:30maybe if she had more time she would have
16:33with tracy spewing poison in her ear
16:36yeah i doubt that
16:37the only thing
16:39that has stopped me from going full steam ahead and telling the police
16:44that michael was the one who shot me was because i wanted to protect monica
16:48but now that she's gone forget it
16:51like all bets are off
16:54wait
16:54are you saying now that you remember that it was michael that shot you
16:59i don't remember a damn thing
17:01but the police don't have to know that
17:04i can tell them that it all came back to me at any time
17:08whoa
17:08you just take a deep breath
17:11you know it's possible you don't have to perjure yourself to get revenge
17:15perjuring myself is the least of what i'll do
17:18i will stop
17:19at nothing
17:21to make michael pay for what he's taken from me
17:24and if convincing the cops that he's the one who pulled the trigger
17:26and put two bullets in my back is the way to do that
17:30so be it
17:34thanks for being here guys
17:36oh
17:36dude are you kidding like
17:38monica opened her home to me and the kids when sand died
17:42and that was
17:44that was everything
17:46and she was great with my mom and leo too
17:48same here
17:50monica welcomed me to the family from day one
17:52she was such a special person
17:54it's just weird you know
17:56like to refer to her in the past tense
17:59it's like you don't think you can get used to that
18:01i still can't really believe that she's gone
18:03wait whatever you need
18:06all right
18:07i'm not doing it man

24:12when you were

24:18surprised
24:20no pressure
24:23but
24:24when you're ready
24:25if
24:26you're ever ready
24:27i would
24:29love the chance
24:30to connect
24:31well
24:35you were a musician
24:37yes i was
24:40still am
24:42i'd like to think
24:42never play the violin though
24:45oh not a lot of people can say they have
24:47around
24:48and a rarefied few
24:50play it like you
24:51honestly
24:53your performance at the nurse's ball was
24:55unbelievable
24:57the talent
24:59and passion
25:00and the skill
25:01you can't teach that
25:03it's just
25:04a part of who you are
25:06thanks
25:07now don't tell brookman
25:10but it's pretty obvious
25:13that you got your musical talent
25:15from me
25:16that's perfect
25:22thanks
25:23we're all set for later
25:25great
25:26thanks for spearheading
25:27of course
25:28so
25:30how's jake
25:31how's he doing
25:32with all of this
25:33oh he's um
25:35he's devastated
25:36he loved monica
25:38an awful lot
25:38but i think he felt
25:41kind of relieved to hear
25:42there weren't going to be any
25:43kids at the service
25:44made him feel less guilty
25:46so that was by design
25:48because i was wondering
25:49yeah well since scout
25:51wasn't allowed to go
25:52oh the restraining order
25:54that's right
25:55and jake couldn't be here
25:57so michael and tracy
25:58just thought it was best
25:59to not include the kids
26:00well they were probably right
26:02with drew crashing the service
26:04but you know even
26:06even if the kids had been there
26:09and seen everything
26:10i don't think would have mattered

32:38tracy's the reason you're not in that church
32:40she insisted you change her name

32:52she deserves
32:53a world of pain
