Val, we should say something, too
.
Would you do it? I'm not good at stuff like this. Would you? I'm not
very good at this kind of thing Yeah. Okay


, I can do it
. Well, let me tell you.
Hirsch was a good friend. Hirsch was a good friend
.
I remember one time, we robbed this liquor store, and he ran over a dog.
He cried
for two days over that dog.
for two days.
Anyway, he will be missed by so many of us that got left behind
.
He was a witness to our lives. He was a witness to our lives
.
Not many of those left. Not many of those left
.
So there's one less person on this Earth who knows our name, who remembers our childhood, who shared in each moment as it passed
. The person who shared every snippet with us.
You know, they say we die twice
,
once when the breath leaves our body, and once when the last person we know says our name
. Sometimes, and one more time, the last time someone we knew called us by name.
And then, Hirsch's life will be forgotten,
like
all the other poor fucks that ever had the glory of living.
Like all the other poor fucks that ever had the glory of living.
Amen.
Amen

Amen. Amen Amen.
Amen

What
?

What
?

Nothing. That was really good.
It

was good?
Okay?

The best I ever heard.
You

think so? You think so
?

Really good, Val. Really good, Val.
Fuck

you
.
