Last sermon from "Stand Up Guys"

Uh, Hirsch was a good friend.
I remember one time, uh,
we robbed this liquor store.
And, he ran over a dog.
He cried for two days over that dog.
Anyway, he will be missed...
by so many of us that God left behind.
He was a witness to our lives.
Not many of those left.
So there's one less person on this earth
who knows our name,
who remembers our childhood.
Who shared in each moment as it passed.
You know, they say, we die twice.
Once, when the breath leaves our body,
and once...
when the last person we know
says our name.
And then...
Hirsch's life will be forgotten,
like all the other poor...
fucks that ever had the glory of livin'.

From "Stand Up Guys", a 2012 American film starring Al Pacino and Christopher Walken.
