I'm not gonna ask your forgiveness,because you bunch didn't do shit for me. So let's just call it a draw. I know you some think you hate my guts,and truth be told,I never liked any of you much either. But,we're all Gallaghers. My only advice is to stop worrying so damn much.

You're supposed to ask people on their deathbed if they wished they'd worked more or spent more time with their family. Me? Hell,I wish I'd partied more.

Nobody ever said our neighborhood was the Garden of Eden,but it's a been a good home to us,to me and you kids. I'm proud of all of you,because every single one of you reminds me a little bit of me.

Lip,you're smart as a whip. You just can't seem to get outta your own way. Eh,you'll figure it out.

Ian—industrious,incredible work ethic. Not a clue where you got that from. Touch of mental illness from your mother. Only way I can understand how you ended up marrying a Milkovich.

Carl and Carla...ha. I never could figure you two out. Can't believe you betrayed the family and became cops. I'm hoping you're already on the take.

Debbie,you remind me of your mother,not in a good way. good luck in life. You're gonna need it.

Liam,you're the apple of my eye. You handsome devil. Everybody says you look just like me.

Oh,Kev,Veronica,you're overrated as friends. Always sticking your noses in my family's business where they don't belong.  You're moving. I say good riddance.

And me,Frank Gallagher—father,teacher,mentor. Captain of our little ship. People say you can't drink your troubles away. I say you're just don't drinkin' enough. Ah..I guess that's it. Not much left to say,really. Except...times precious.  Don't fuckin' waste it. Have a good time. I sure as hell did.
