Thank you all for coming out in honor of Aunt Ginger. "GG" as I called her. You now, when the guy at the funeral place handed me her ashes, I thought, what the hell do I do with these? Put 'em in a vase on my mantle? Or scatter them at the park or the lake? Then I thought, no, I know where she was happiest. On this corner, her corner, where she turned tricks in her 20s and 30s.
And 60s!
She did magic tricks?
No, no, no, son. "Turning tricks" is a euphemism for prostitution. In her day, your great aunt was a legendary pole smoker. Could unlock her jaw like a Burmese python.
We are at her funeral. You know, some think Gallaghers don't have a work ethic, but Ginger worked this corner rain, sleet, snow, her old knees hitting that hard pavement again and again. Bertie Giddelman is the only one that's outlasted her. Look, you all knew Ginger, so I ain't gonna sugarcoat it. She was a mean old bitch. But even a mean old bitch deserves a send off. Here, here. So this is us, Ginger, sending you off, right where you belong. [Pours ashes out in gutter] It's touching. I'm tearing up. Okay, kids, let's go.
Patrick. So Ginger had a will that we didn't know about, and you just had it sitting in a drawer?
Yep.
And even though she hated your guts, she left our house to you?
It was never your house.
It's weird, you know, how she signed the will only a year ago, you know, her being an invalid and all.
Signed and notarized.
I don't remember you coming by with a lawyer.
I gotta get back to my family.
Six kids with nowhere else to go.
Why don't we talk about this when the sting of losing Ginger has worn off, hmm? Tomorrow, maybe?
You want to tell them or should I?
