Ray Quote #32

Quote from Ray in I Wish I Were Gus

Ray: Hi, I'm Ray. I'm here to talk about Gus Patrone.
Robert: [honks]
Ray: Thank you. I did a little research first. Lots of people don't know Gus was actually born Gustafavio Bei... Bei... [chh]... Beiperceilu. He was born January 23, 1902. That would make him, what? Aquarius. [chuckles] Okay. He was 10 pounds 6 ounces. Wow! That's big. Ladies, am I right? Later, Gus bought Carpet World over in Manhasset. I remember, it was open 10-6 Sundays. Yeah. In 1992, Gus was forced to retire after a bad break with his prostate. All right, I can't take this anymore. This is crazy. Listen, you know what I remember about Gus? How much he cared about family. Yeah, he didn't let the little things become big things because he knew what was most important in life: family. People who love you no matter how stupid you're acting. You know, 'cause one day we're all gonna be Gus here. Is that what you want? You wanna get lowered into the ground with all the grudges and the petty little things that don't matter at all? Gus didn't let that happen to him. That's why we're all here today. That's it. That's all. [to the casket] Sorry about the yelling.
