• [Susie places Jackie's picture over one of a dead woman] 

  Susie Myerson : Hi, sorry. I'll just be a minute here. Just to say a few words about Jackie Dellapietra, who's over there, across the hall in the empty loser room. But, well, I just... I can't talk about him to an empty room. That's not how it should go. It's not how he should be remembered. Or not remembered, because apparently no-one remembered, because nobody showed up. Except four people. Four people to send you off! Where the fuck was everyone? A man dies, you show up at his funeral, right? This was Jackie! I mean, he never hurt anyone. He lived his life, he did nice things, he fixed up my shitty apartment... He put up curtains, he painted, he made stew, built whatever the fuck it was he built for the fucking Monsignor over there. Apparently, no-one gave a shit. No-one noticed.

  [She starts to choke up] 

  Susie Myerson : Fuck, I lived with the guy and I didn't notice. We slept very close. I mean, I knew personal things about the guy, you know. He snores. Certain foods didn't agree with him. I kept the windows open on those nights. I knew his laundry day. I knew when he cut his hair. Shit like that, but I never knew him. I never knew... he fought in the war! I never knew... he got a medal for bravery! I mean, they don't just hand those out. You gotta get shot, or save somebody, or blow up a fucking tank. A medal is a big deal! He collected Bazooka Joe comics. He kept the little ticket stubs to the opera. He had a baseball signed by Babe Ruth. Can you fucking believe that? Jackie met Babe Ruth! I mean, he kept it in a shoebox like an asshole, but he had it. I mean, this guy lived a life and I never knew any of this. Just a minute ago, I found out I was his friend.
