Eric: Hi guys. My name's Eric Yorkie. I...I don't even know where to begin but my friend just died the last night. It was during the Homecoming dance. A, um, a bear, yeah, a fucking bear mauled her in the woods and now...she's gone. You guys saw her in my videos. Her name's Angela Weber. She was the nice, tall girl with the freckles...

Pause.

Eric: And the reason why I'm talking about her is I'm still trying to process what happened. Today's her funeral and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Weber, asked all of us, all of Angie's friends to you know, um, say something. I'm just trying to compose what to say but....the words aren't really coming to me and it's not going well. So, I thought, maybe speaking into a camera might help me think better. I don't wanna disappoint, Angie, you know?

Pause. Nervous laughter.

Eric: So, I'll start? I met Angela Weber in grade school. My parents just moved us from Texas to Forks so that was a big change. I was a shy kid so I didn't know how to talk to other kids. Here I was, eating lunch alone like a loser, and then this pretty, tall girl with these doe eyes comes over and asks if I wanna have lunch with her and her friends. I wasn't gonna pass up that opportunity, you know? I get my lunch tray and I come over to their table. That's how I met my friends, all because Angie was nice and could tell the new kid needed a friend. That's how Angie was. Just nice and took care all of us. She was the glue of the group, you know? And, um, I miss her and I really, really miss her. I'm sorry I wasn't there when you were leaving, Angie. I didn't know. I'm sorry. I didn't know...

Pause.

Eric: And on that depressing note, I know Angie is up there in Heaven, chilling with God and all the saints. Cause she was like her name, you know? An angel...but not really. She was better cause she had her flaws. She was Angie freaking Weber and she never minded being in my videos and supported me all the way. So, this is for you, Angie. I'm gonna miss you and I'm gonna keep doing my best in this Youtube thing even if it never works out. Maybe in some weird time-travel dimension jumping way, you can watch this video. And you'll see how much you are missed and how much you are loved. I love you, Angie.

Tyler: Why are we doing this?

Eric: It help me figure out what to say for the funeral. Just talk into the camera and let your mind go. We can write down the best parts and that can be your eulogy for Angie.

Tyler: Um, wouldn't the Webers mind if we post this online?

Eric: I'll ask their permission later. Right now, we're just filming.

Tyler: Okay.

Pause. Deep breath.

Tyler: How do I even start?

Eric: Um, I began talking about how I met Angela.

Tyler: Right. Okay. So, I met Angela Weber in kindergarten. We were in the same class as Mike and Jess. Mike and Angela were already friends cause their parents were and Jess and Angie met there and that's how they became friends. I was friends with Ben Chenney. Cool guy. Still a cool guy actually. Anyway, we kinda drifted a part in grade school, it happens. And I became friends with Mike cause I used to go to Little League Football. That was my dad's dream for me, to play professionally but it wasn't until middle school he accepted I suck at it and gave up. So, yeah, that's how I became friends with Mike and through him I became friends with Angie and Jess.
