00:00I consider myself very, very lucky to have gotten to spend the time that I did with my grandmother over these past few years.
00:12And there's some consolation in knowing that I should never really be gone.
00:18And 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 lived
00:28by 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 knows.
01:07Talk about inappropriate.
01:08And you were worried about me.
01:15My name is Drew Quartermain, and I am here to honor my mother, Monica.
01:21Allow me to fact-check.
01:28Your name is Drew Quartermain.
01:31You are in no way related to Monica.
01:36And you are in no way invited to this ghetto.
01:39I have every right to be here, Joseph.
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, Trace?
01:56What are you doing?
01:57I am escorting you out.
01:59You can stop, Trace.
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.
03:26таких.
03:28I don't know.
03:36I don't know.
03:38I don't know.
03:48I don't know if I can do it.
03:49so when i
03:59when i first met monica she was already engaged to my brother alan
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
04:26she was beneath us she wasn't good enough to marry into the quarter main family much less
04:35carried a quarter main heir but somehow she bamboozled my father my mother and my brother
04:44and it was up to me to make sure that all their eyes were open
04:49but 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
05:32i 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 she would do anything for the quarter mains
05:57she took care of us
05:58when we lost both my parents and my brother
06:04she's the one that kept their memories alive
06:09it did so much to me
06:15i'm so sorry i never told her maybe i did
06:20i probably
06:22phrased it like an insult
06:25knowing that was our love language
06:33it was how we knew we cared
06:38i never for a moment thought
06:44that i would have to live my life
06:52without her
06:54but i was wrong
06:56again
06:57i 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
07:43is yours
07:44alan
07:47gave it
07:47to you
07:49and as long as i'm alive
07:54i promise you
07:57it'll stay that way
08:10well 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 there was a time
08:43when monica
08:45she loved me like 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 that's not supposed to count for anything
09:09like that just gets erased
09:12like 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
09:26they're angry
09:26the role you played
09:29in what happened
09:30between michael and willow
09:31yeah i'm angry too
09:33but the point is
09:34that shouldn't even matter
09:37what do you mean
09:38we shouldn't matter
09:38what because we're all angry
09:39like are 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 in the end
09:49because
09:49because family
09:51comes first
09:53not always
09:54it didn't happen today
09:56no it didn't
09:58which 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
10:14and i never will be
10:17my heart goes out to all of you
10:22i thought it was
10:23a beautiful ceremony

12:31i'm just saying
12:32he showed up at the church

13:05she tossed me out of the kitchen twice already
13:07oh yeah
13:08she knows that i'm
13:09i'm good with a serving tray
13:10you uh
13:11you look like it might be a dropper
13:13how 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
13:38if the vibe or the math is off
13:40no that's true
13:40i'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
13:51it's true what they say about the quartermans
13:53they stick together
13:54even if they quite literally
13:55try to kill each other sometimes
13:57they always show up when it really matters
13:59yeah hey
14:00even the ones who uh
14:01don'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
14:27i 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
14:38that's all we can do
14:39yeah
14:40speaking of showing up
14:42tracy's speech
14:43that was incredible
14:44it was perfect
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
15:26that 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
15:49that 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 we're close ones
16:14and not even the almighty quarterman
16:17can take that away from you
16:18right
16:19but michael is the golden boy
16:22always has been
16:23i just i 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
16:33right
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
16:43and telling the police that michael was the one who shot me
16:46was because i wanted to protect monica
16:48but now that she's gone
16:50forget 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 you 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
17:29is 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 sam 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
17:55it's just weird you know
17:56like to refer to her in the past tense
17:59like 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
18:08not showing up
18:10putting the whole
18:11drew investigation on the back burner for a minute

24:45no no
24:45not a lot of people can say they have
24:47no
24:47and a rarefied few play it like you
24:51honestly
24:53your performance at the nurse's ball was
24:55unbelievable
24:57and the talent
24:59and
24:59passion

25:25great
25:26thanks for spearheading

25:28so
25:30how's jake
25:31how's he doing with all of this
25:33oh he's um
25:35he's devastated
25:36he loved monica an awful lot
25:39but i think he felt
25:41kind 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
25:54that's right
25:55jake couldn't be here
25:57so michael and tracy just thought it was best to 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
26:11because nothing could dampen her memory in their eyes
26:14the bond she had
26:16with those grandchildren
26:17and great-grandchildren
26:19it was strong
26:20those kids will carry her memory with them
26:23forever
26:24that's where my legacy is
26:27that's where my legacy is
26:27the son of his husband
26:28was about to be able to see
26:30he's in the house
26:30he was so tall
26:32while he was like
26:33so he's in the house
26:35and he's going to die
26:36and he's going to die
26:37and he's going to die
26:37is he's going to die
26:40and i'm going to die
26:41No, hand to God, the elevator doors open, and there is Monica on top of my mother, strangling the life out of her.
27:06Or at least she's trying to.
27:07Well, Tracy is nothing if not difficult to snuff out.
27:12True.
27:13Man, this family is insane.
27:15It is.
27:16It is.
27:17But we wear it with pride.
27:19Maybe a little too much pride sometimes.
27:21No.
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, kind of, makes you feel like you were there.
27:37Yeah, she told me one recently.
27:41Never heard it before.
27:43Monica, too?
27:47Well, don't leave us in suspense.
27:50Let's hear it.
27:53Bye.
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.
28:09Have 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?
28:17We should be proud.
28:19She was so vulnerable back at the church.
28:21I've never seen her like that before.
28:22Me either.
28:23I had to do it in front of all those people.
28:26I mean, talk about rising to the occasion.
28:28Tracy always does.
28:35Hey, if I haven't told you already, you did an incredible job with all this.
28:40Oh, God.
28:42No.
28:44You know, I really wanted the celebration to be a reflection of who Monica was.
28:49Warm 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, you 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.
29:43And that's how I feel, too.
29:44You, my brilliant, beautiful wife, are a quarter main through and through.
29:57God help you.
29:58Thanks for coming.
30:06Oh, absolutely.
30:07I'm so glad you came.
30:21I wanted to pay my respects.
30:25For Monica.
30:26Well, she 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.
30:39See you later.
30:43See you later.
30:54He showed up, didn't he?
30:58Yeah, he showed up.
31:00Maybe steps.
31:01What 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.
31:19Let's go, come in.
31:21I know.
31:22Okay, okay, maybe, maybe it was a little too soon, right?
31:26Yes.
31:26Guys, I 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.
31:55Thank you for being here.
32:08Monica would have been gutted to find out that Michael was arrested, and I was just trying
32:14to 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 insists that you change her name.
32:43Don't you think that Tracy is the quarter main, deserves all of this fury?
32:47She'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 in the end?
33:22Karma 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 would want.
33:46Everyone gathered to celebrate her, not just mourn her.
33:51To Monica.
33:52A woman who fought for this family until her last breath.
33:57And as mother said, she wasn't just one of us.
34:00Monica was the best of us.
34:02Here, here.
34:05I miss you, Grandma.
34:08I once...
34:15told you...
34:37that you never lost me.
34:49I won't lose you either.
34:58You will always be my mom.
35:00I love you.
35:14There is a man who is interested in me.
35:16Only 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.
35:25I'd be very proud if you would agree to marry me.
35:30I am confident about one thing.
35:33I'm going to spend the rest of my life making you the best wife possible.
35:37I love you, Monica.
35:38I love you too much to ever leave you.
35:51There'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, Mom.
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.
36:13I miss your hand in my...
36:15I 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 Alan gave it to me.
36:55I know you love me.
36:56I love you.
36:59I love you too.
37:02I love you.
37:02I love you.
37:03Every journey has an end.
37:09And 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.
37:32How you made my life complete.
