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 have.
03:34I have.
03:35I have.
03:36I have.
03:37So, when I first met Monica, she was already engaged to my brother, Alan.
04:07Well, my initial thought was, she's beautiful, it'll never last.
04:14I assumed that my brother would grow tired of her as he usually did.
04:21Then it would be over just as quickly as it started.
04:26She was beneath us.
04:28She wasn't good enough to marry into the Quartermain family, much less carry a Quartermain heir.
04:38But 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.
04:57She was nobody's victim.
05:00Least of all mine.
05:01And she gave as good as she got.
05:04And somewhere between, during, or because of our epic battles, I grew to respect her.
05:20In fact, that respect grew to love.
05:27In the 45 years that we were a family, I came to accept that she was not only good enough to be one of us.
05:41If she was the best of us, the Quartermain family wouldn't be who we are without her.
05:55She would do anything for the Quartermains.
05:57She took care of us.
05:58When we lost both my parents and my brother, she's the one that kept their memories alive.
06:11And that's so much to me.
06:17I'm so sorry I never told her.
06:19Maybe I did.
06:21I probably phrased it like an insult.
06:26No, you're good.
06:28That was our love language.
06:34It was how we knew we cared.
06:40I never for a moment thought
06:44that I would have to live my life without her.
06:55But I was wrong.
06:56Again, I do.
06:58I am going to have to, I'm going to have to find my way in this world without her.
07:05That won't be easy.
07:15My brother made her my sister-in-law.
07:17But she became my sister.
07:24So, my sister, looks like I'm the last one standing.
07:37But don't you worry.
07:40That house is yours.
07:44Alan gave it to you.
07:48And as long as I'm alive, I promise you, it'll stay that way.
08:01Well, that was fast.
08:23You changed your mind about going to the ceremony.
08:26No, I went.
08:29Briefly, it would say.
08:30Yeah, Tracy kicked me out.
08:32Or she said she rolled me out.
08:34And nobody there tried to stop her.
08:37I was shocked.
08:37Look, it's not right, Martin.
08:41It's not right.
08:42There was a time when Monica, she loved me.
08:47Like, she really loved me.
08:48I'm sure she did.
08:51Once upon a time.
08:53And I loved her, too.
08:54She was, she was amazing.
08:58She was there for me when I lost Oscar.
09:01She sat with me here in the hospital.
09:03And she held my hand for hours.
09:05And now, all of a sudden, that's not supposed to count for anything?
09:10Like, that just gets erased?
09:12Like, it never even happened?
09:14No.
09:15Drew, it happened.
09:17Along with a lot of other things since then.
09:20Okay, so, yeah.
09:22Now the Quartermains, like, they see me as the enemy.
09:26They're angry.
09:27The role you played in what happened between Michael and Wilbur.
09:31Yeah, I'm angry, too.
09:33But the point is, that shouldn't even matter.
09:37What do you mean it shouldn't matter?
09:38What, because we're all angry?
09:40Like, are you kidding me right now?
09:41The Quartermains?
09:42Because they live for a good fight.
09:45And then, then they always come together in the end.
09:49Because?
09:50Because family comes first.
09:53No, no, listen.
09:55It didn't happen, did they?
09:56No, it didn't.
09:58Which is the ultimate proof that,
09:59that they don't see me as family.
10:04So it is more clear than it's ever been that I, uh,
10:10I'm not a Quartermain.
10:15And I never will be.
10:17My heart goes out to all of you.
10:22I thought it was a beautiful ceremony.
10:26It was.
10:27It was, wasn't it?
10:28Yeah, and I think Monica would have loved the way everyone came together.
10:32Everyone except Drew.
10:35Oh, well, I don't know.
10:37I think that Monica was looking down on us and watching,
10:40and I think she got a big kick out of the way you showed Drew the exit.
10:45Now, if only we could get him out of Congress as quickly and easily
10:49as you got him out of that church.
10:51Truer words.
10:54There are refreshments in the living room.
10:57Okay.
10:58Tracy.
11:01If you need anything, I mean anything at all,
11:05I'm here, okay?
11:10Laura.
11:21Oh, hey, what's, uh, where's the staff?
11:24Why is this a one-woman operation?
11:26I gave him a day off.
11:27I wanted to just be family.
11:31What about you?
11:32Aren't you supposed to be working?
11:34Uh, I got someone to cover my shit.
11:35Honey, you didn't have to do that.
11:37Yeah, well, Monica was important to you, and you're important to me, and
11:41she opened the doors of her home to me and Danny and Rocco and Scout.
11:46She was, uh, an incredible woman.
11:48She was.
11:49She was the best.
11:51Which is why I made all of her favorites.
11:55Can I, uh, can I give you a hand?
11:58You remember how I used to have you delivering all the hors d'oeuvres at the block parties?
12:03Oh, hell yeah, I was zigzagging and dancing through all that cast.
12:05I never dropped one, uh, pig in a blanket.
12:08Cutest little server that ever was.
12:11Well, let's, uh, let's see if I still got it, yeah?
12:15Uh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
12:16Uh, no, take...
12:18Take the bacon wrap dates.
12:21The Gio's favorite.
12:22You won't be able to resist.
12:23Okay, look, Bob.
12:24This isn't the time or the place to make up a reason to have a conversation with him.
12:29I'm not telling you to pressure him into having a chat.
12:31I'm just saying, he showed up at the church.
12:34I said something.
12:36You know, if he shows up at the house, I think that'll say even more.
12:40Yeah, we'll see.
12:41We'll see.
12:43Get out there.
12:44That bacon ain't gonna deliver itself.
12:47Love you.
12:48Love you.
12:54You know, when I lived here, I did steal some of these glasses.
12:58Of course you did.
13:03Who will 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 it might be a dropper.
13:16How are you holding up?
13:19Pretty much how you'd expect.
13:20Is there any truth to the rumor that, uh, Lois and Tracy were gambling in Atlantic City last night?
13:27Oh, I, I don't think that they were gambling together.
13:31I mean, Ma said that Tracy wasn't doing much winning, and Ma won't put a dime on the table if the vibe or the math is off.
13:40No, that's true.
13:42Look, I'm not done being mad at her, but I do have to admit that she really came through for us.
13:47Yeah, I mean, I'm not happy with her either, but, uh, it's true what they say about the Quartermans.
13:53They stick together, even 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.
14:03I was hoping that Gio would come to the service, but I didn't expect him to.
14:07No, me either.
14:09It may be next time he'll say more than hi and bye to us.
14:12Yeah, I don't know.
14:14Maybe my shields are more worn down with everything that's going on, but Gio's anger, it just hurt more than usual today.
14:22Like, it's just times like these, everything lands a little harder.
14:28I just hope I live long enough to see Gio be a little less angry, not just for our sake, but for his.
14:36We just gotta keep showing up, all right?
14:38That's all we can do.
14:40Yeah.
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.
14:48It's interesting.
14:49She, uh, she reminded me of you.
14:55Thought I might find you out here.
14:57Shh.
15:02I saw you greeting people at the church.
15:06That must have been a lot.
15:10Yeah, I did it for Monica, you know.
15:14I can't do it again here.
15:18I don't blame you.
15:20And I think everyone would understand if you wanted to take off.
15:25I mean, it's tempting.
15:26But I need to be here.
15:32And there's so many times I wasn't, and I should have been.
15:36No, that's not true.
15:38What, that I wasn't here?
15:39No.
15:41That you weren't present.
15:42When I lived here with my dad, I don't think there was a day that went by that Monica didn't mention you.
15:52She loved telling stories about you.
15:57Gave her a lot to choose from.
15:58So, even though you weren't physically here, Jason, your presence was felt.
16:08Your mom made sure of it.
16:13Monica, we're close ones.
16:15And not even the almighty quarterman can take that away from you.
16:18Right.
16:19But Michael is the golden boy.
16:22Always has been.
16:24I just, I thought that Monica still loved me enough to get past the whole Michael Willis situation.
16:30Maybe if she had more time, she would have.
16:33Right.
16:34With Tracy spewing poison in her ear?
16:36Yeah, I doubt that.
16:37The only thing that has stopped me from going full steam ahead and telling the police that Michael was the one who shot me was because I wanted to protect Monica.
16:49But now that she's gone, forget it.
16:51Like, all bets are off.
16:54Wait.
16:55Are you saying now that you remember that it was Michael that shot you?
16:59I don't remember a damn thing.
17:02But 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.
17:09You 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 at nothing to 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 and put two bullets in my back is the way to do that,
17:30So be it.
17:34Thanks for being here, guys.
17:36Oh, dude, are you kidding?
17:38Like, Monica opened her home to me and the kids when Sam died.
17:43And that was, that was everything.
17:46And she was great with my mom and Leo, too.
17:49Same here.
17:50Monica welcomed me to the family from day one.
17:53She was such a special person.
17:54And it's just weird, you know, like to refer to her in the past tense.
17:59It's like you don't think you can get used to that.
18:02I still can't really believe that she's gone.
18:04Wait, whatever you need.
18:06All right.
18:07I'm not doing it, man.
18:09I'm not showing up.
18:11Putting the whole Drew investigation on the back burner for a minute.
18:15We're family, Michael.
18:17And, uh, today that's all that matters.
18:25How are you doing?
18:27I'm fine.
18:28Why?
18:29Because other than Monica's family, you knew her the longest.
18:33Yeah.
18:34We did go way, way back.
18:36Further than I'd like to admit.
18:38Before I even met your father.
18:41Really?
18:42Mm-hmm.
18:42Yeah.
18:43Yeah.
18:43She came to our wedding.
18:46Along with the rest of the world.
18:48Mm-hmm.
18:50Monica was the type of person who you could count on when things got tough, you know?
18:56And things did get tough.
18:59I'm really glad you had her.
19:01Yeah, me too.
19:03I am a better person because I knew her.
19:08I really hope I never forget that.
19:10I'll help you remember.
19:13Deal?
19:14Deal.
19:16I'm gonna miss her so much.
19:22That was one heck of a remembrance.
19:26I wasn't gonna do it, and then I was on my feet, evicting Drew.
19:32In spectacular fashion.
19:36So I figured I was halfway there, so.
19:41I'm glad you did it.
19:43I am.
19:45Don't tell my family.
19:47They were all over me about, uh, paying tribute.
19:53Blah, blah, blah.
19:54Wow.
19:56Tell me the truth.
19:56How you hold it up?
19:58It's hard.
20:01Losing people I love.
20:03My parents, obviously.
20:05My brother, Alan.
20:06My husband, my husband, Luke, Gregory, and now Monica, they just keep leaving.
20:13I know how that feels.
20:14But you're still here.
20:17Yeah.
20:18Last man standing.
20:20Hardly.
20:22Tracy, look around you.
20:23Well, not specifically this for you, but in this house.
20:27You got a big old crazy family who adores you.
20:31A family that keeps growing by the minute.
20:36Gio, I'm so glad you came.
20:49I wanted to offer my condolences.
20:53I'm very sorry about Monica.
20:56Thank you, and I'm sorry for your loss as well.
21:02I wish I could have gotten to know her better.
21:05You would have loved her.
21:07And she, you, actually, she already had a head start.
21:11What do you mean?
21:13I think she must have played your nurse's ball performance at least a hundred times.
21:20Really?
21:20She couldn't get enough of it.
21:22And who could blame her?
21:23You know, Monica and I didn't see eye to eye on a lot, but when it came to you, we were of one mind.
21:31I'm so grateful you're here.
21:33I am too.
21:34No, I saw a different side of the family today.
21:41There's no drama.
21:44Really?
21:46Yeah.
21:47No, actually, there was a little bit withdrew at the church, but what else were you going to do?
21:52I think some might say I had options.
21:57Not me.
21:58Wow.
22:00I'm glad to hear that.
22:01One of the family coming together, supporting each other.
22:08It made me proud to be a part of this family.
22:13It made me proud to be your great-grandson.
22:15I just, uh, just chatting with Brooklyn.
22:22Boy, she keeps asking if she can help.
22:24Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
22:25Don't worry, I put a stop to that.
22:26I told her she looked like a dropper.
22:28No, I mean, I love her to death, but facts are facts.
22:30Right?
22:31Right.
22:31I was just talking about this family and how, no matter what, they just always seem to come together.
22:38It's not always pretty.
22:40That's true.
22:41Yeah.
22:41Apparently, Gio is here, but I haven't seen him yet.
22:47I knew it.
22:48I knew that he could still be angry and that he could show up.
22:51No, no, honey.
22:53That says something.
22:54That says that he knows deep down what is truly important.
22:58Yeah, let's hope.
22:59No, you don't have to hope.
23:01I'm right.
23:01Brooklyn told me about, uh, their trip to Atlantic City.
23:09It was good that, uh, Lois stalled Tracy until they got there.
23:13Yeah, Lois knows the way around Atlantic City.
23:15Yeah, she does.
23:16Great.
23:19It just came out of the oven.
23:20Okay.
23:21It should be served warm.
23:31Hey, Ned.
23:47Um, I'm so sorry about your loss.
23:53Thank you, Gio.
23:57It's been a while.
23:59You're okay?
23:59Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, just, just taking some time to figure, figure things out.
24:06Well, I'm really glad that you're here now.
24:09Yeah, me too.
24:11You and I spent a lot of time together when you were living here at the house.
24:16Little did I know that you were my grandson.
24:19Surprise.
24:22No pressure.
24:23But when you're ready, if you're ever ready, I would love the chance to connect.
24:34Well, you were a musician.
24:39Yes, I was.
24:41Still am, I'd like to think.
24:43Never played the violin, though.
24:45No, not a lot of people can say they have, bro.
24:48Uh, and a rarefied few play it like you.
24:52Honestly, your performance at the nurse's ball was unbelievable.
24:58And the talent and passion and the skill, you can't teach that.
25:04It's just a part of who you are.
25:07Thanks.
25:09Now, don't tell Brooklyn.
25:12But it's pretty obvious that you got your musical talent from me.
25:21That's perfect.
25:23Thanks.
25:24We're all set for later.
25:26Great.
25:26Thanks for spearheading.
25:28Of course.
25:30So, how's Jake?
25:32How's he doing with all of this?
25:34He's, um, he's devastated.
25:37He loved Monica an awful lot.
25:40But I think he felt kind of relieved to hear there weren't going to be any kids 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 wasn't allowed to go.
25:53Oh, the restraining order.
25:55That's right.
25:56And Jake couldn't be here, so Michael and Tracy just thought it was best to not include the kids.
26:01Well, they were probably right.
26:02With Drew crashing the service.
26:04But, you know, even if the kids had been there and seen everything, I don't think it would have mattered.
26:12Because nothing could dampen her memory in their eyes.
26:15The bond she had with those grandchildren and great-grandchildren, it was strong.
26:21Those kids will carry her memory with them forever.
26:25That's her legacy.
26:26Seem to us.
26:27Seem to us.
26:27Seem to us.
26:27Seem to us.
26:27Seem to us.

26:36Seem to us.
26:36Seem to us.
26:37Seem to us.
26:39Seem to us.
26:40No, hand to God, the elevator doors open and there is Monica on top of my mother strangling
27:05the life out of her, or at least she's trying to.
27:07Well, Tracy is nothing if not difficult to snuff out.
27:12Drew, man, this family is insane.
27:15It is, it is.
27:17But we wear it with pride.
27:19Maybe a little too much pride sometimes.
27:21Never.
27:25Gotta say, I love all these stories.
27:28Monica had a real full life, huh?
27:30Yeah, she remembered everything.
27:32And usually when she'd tell you a story, she'd have a picture in her hand and kind of makes you feel like you were there.
27:36Yeah, she told me one recently.
27:41Never heard it before.
27:43Monica too?
27:47Well, don't leave us in suspense.
27:50It's here.
27:53Hi.
27:54Have you guys seen Tracy?
27:56No, no, I haven't.
27:57Me either.
27:58And it's been quite some time, actually.
28:01Maybe she needed a minute to herself.
28:03Those don't always work out so well with my grandmother.
28:07Oh.
28:09Hey, have you guys seen Tracy?
28:11No.
28:12I haven't either.
28:13I've been on the lookout, though.
28:15Well, should we be nervous?
28:16We should be proud.
28:19She was so vulnerable back at the church.
28:21I've never seen her like that before.
28:22Me either.
28:23And to do it in front of all of those people.
28:26I mean, talk about rising to the occasion.
28:29Tracy always does.
28:34Hey, if I haven't told you already, you did an incredible job with all this.
28:40Oh, God.
28:42No.
28:42You know, I really wanted the celebration to be a reflection of who Monica was.
28:51Warm and welcoming and just filled with beauty and class.
28:59Well, it was all those things and more.
29:04After all these years, I know what she liked.
29:07You know, I know how she felt about my entertaining and my fundraising.
29:12I just did the opposite of that.
29:17Well, I know it was a lot of work.
29:19So thank you.
29:21Tracy's speech.
29:24You really hit home.
29:26How so?
29:29Well, I think Monica and I were more alike than I thought.
29:35You know, she wasn't born a quarter main.
29:39She became one.
29:42And that's how I feel, too.
29:47You, my brilliant, beautiful wife, are a quarter main through and through.
29:57God help you.
29:58Thanks for coming.
30:06Oh, absolutely.
30:18I'm so glad you came.
30:20I wanted to pay my respects.
30:25For Monica.
30:28She would have appreciated it.
30:30She thought you were pretty great.
30:32She really loved having you live here.
30:34She used to look out the window and listen to you practice.
30:38Thanks for telling me that.
30:42See you later.
30:43He showed up, didn't he?
30:58Yeah.
30:58He showed up.
31:00Maybe steps.
31:03Yeah.
31:03What about the will?
31:10I'm sorry?
31:11Well, I just mean, who gets the house?
31:13Is it going to be for sale?
31:14Because right now, the market is sizzling hot.
31:16On that note, Lucy, let's go.
31:18No, it would be good.
31:19Come on, let's go.
31:20Come on, let's go.
31:20Come on, let's go.
31:20Come on.
31:21I know.
31:22Okay, okay, maybe, maybe it was a little too soon, right?
31:26Yes.
31:26Too soon.
31:26I mean, don't talk to people like that when you're mourning.
31:30It's been a minute since I've seen Tracy.
31:34Yeah, I was just thinking the same thing.
31:36I was really hoping to say goodbye to her.
31:55Thanks for being here.
31:56Monica would have been gutted to find out that Michael was arrested, and I was just
32:14trying to spare her that.
32:16So, you sat on something you don't remember?
32:20Monica's not a consideration anymore.
32:22And Jason.
32:23Jason is going to hate Michael going back to prison.
32:29Look, I know the things between you and your brother, your nephew, have been strained.
32:34That's putting it mildly.
32:36Don't you think you're missing the mark here?
32:38Tracy's the reason you're not in that church.
32:41She insisted you change her name.
32:43Don't you think that Tracy is the quarter main, deserves all of this fury?
32:46Well, she's going to get it.
32:48She orchestrated my exile.
32:50She turned the whole family against me.
32:52She deserves a world of pain.
32:56But Michael out-destroyed them all.
33:00And with one phone call, with one phone call, I can take them all down.
33:05Yeah, but Tracy only suffers if the quarter main legacy crumbles.
33:12She deserves a lot worse than that.
33:14And I have a feeling that someday she'll get it.
33:19You know what they say?
33:20In the end, karma catches up with all of us.
33:25Well, when it catches up with them, I'm going to have a front roast.
33:30Well, we got through it, somehow.
33:38It was a touching, emotional, beautiful day.
33:44Exactly what Monica really wanted.
33:46Everyone gathered to celebrate her, not just mourn her.
33:50To Monica, a woman who fought for this family until her last breath.
33:56And as mother said, she wasn't just one of us.
34:00Monica was the best of us.
34:02Here, here.
34:05I'll miss you, Grandma.
34:06I once...
34:28I told you...
34:38That you never lost me.
34:49I won't lose you, either.
34:50I won't lose you, either.
34:51You will always be my mom.
35:08I love you.
35:09There is a man who is interested in me, only he's about as reliable as the mother.
35:19I would say your greatest interest these days would be gossip.
35:23I would say you were wrong.
35:26I'd be very proud if you would agree to marry me.
35:28I am confident about one thing.
35:33I'm going to spend the rest of my life making you the best wife possible.
35:38I love you, Monica.
35:39I love you too much to ever leave you.
35:53There's no way in this world that I would check out without seeing you graduate, walk down the aisle, have children of your own.
36:02Mom, I want to take care of you.
36:06Do you have any idea how hard it is to live with cancer?
36:11Oh, God.
36:12I am living with it.
36:18You want to face it?
36:20Oh, let's face it together.
36:22Here, face this.
36:29I love you.
36:30I will tell you what gives me the right.
36:43This is my house, and Ellen gave it to me.
36:55I know you love me.
36:56I love you, too.
37:02I love you.
37:02Every journey has an end
37:07And that makes life so sweet
37:16You worked so hard.
37:19Now rest.
37:20Memories I'll keep of you
37:24How you made my life complete
37:32How you made my life complete
37:33I don't know.
38:03Who are you and why the hell are you trespassing?
38:17You must be Tracy Quartermain.
38:21And you are someone who's been waiting quite a while to meet you.
38:26On the next General Hospital.
38:32I've got just the thing for that.
38:34That is a turn of events.
38:35You're going to need each other to get through this.
38:38James has a right to know that his father is alive.
38:41I'm Willow Tate.
38:42You're a niece.
38:43I'm not sure they bought it.
38:44Why don't you tell me why you're really here?
38:46I'm Willow Tate.
