“We've had to grow up so fast, Fred. And it's not fair. Not in the least. Back then we had each other, but now I'm alone. How am I supposed to go on? How am I supposed to rebuild my life? I can't do this without you.”

By now tears were streaking down George's face.

“You we're my best friend, Fred. My brother, my partner in crime. How I am gonna live without you? Who's going to help me run the shop? I can't do it alone. It was our dream, Fred. How can I ever find some to replace you? I can't. I can't ever replace you.”
