These Are Their Stories

When I was your age, I'd get angry all the time… you know?  Kids thought it was funny, so they'd steal my things and push me around.  I was kind of small.  So I'd get angry and… and hit somebody.  Teachers would get mad.  You know, they never saw what the other kids did.  Everybody thought I was… terrible, even Smurf.  I guess maybe I was pretty awful.  The only person that was nice to me was my sister.  Your dad was the second.  And then your mom.  I promised them I was gonna take care of you and I'm gonna do that, okay?

🐻 Today the final season of The Bear comes out. This is my tribute to Michael and to Jon Bernthal for portraying so beautiful this tragic character. While I've always had some mixed feelings about The Bear overall, Gary has become one of my favorite episodes of all time.
