The leprechaun union?… I got delivery… What is this? Hey baby, surpise… I have a plan, I have written you letters. Letters that will be coming to you all sorts of ways. Now, you must do what I say, okay?… [This Christmas…] …I hereby free you… [He gave her a gift] ..she needs to get a little crazy. So go out and celebrate tonight… [of a life without him]… Make sure my baby has a good time.. I want you to take her fishing… I don’t worry about you remembering me, Life had changed as I knew it. And now it’s changed again, luv. [Academy Award winner, Hillary Swank, Gerard Butler….] …I feel like Gerry’s guiding me. Do you think that’s silly?
