Maggie's mom = Kate (Grandma)
Maggie's dad = Ed (Grandpa)
e Top of the morning to you.
j Hi Ed, Kate. Ed!! Ed, what are you doing here?
e Got your key out from under the mat; first place a burglar would look, by the way.
k I tried to use the micro wave, but I blew something up.
j Maggie!! Your folks have favoured us with another one of their surprise visits!
e For once the head shrinker knows what he's talking about.
k If you'd tell me where the fire extinguisher is, I'd be happy to cook breakfast.
ma Daddy, what are you doing here?
k Margaret, we did not come all this way to see you; we came to see our grandchildren.
e Carol! Ben! Front and centre!! Michael!
j Wake me when they're gone.
ma Jason, that's not polite.
ca Grandma, Grandpa, hi!
mi Ah come on, it's Saturday morning, for crying out loud!
ma Ah Mike, your grandparents are here.
k Oh, your grandfather's the same way, until he's had his morning sit-down.
e Kate, I don't think anyone's gonna be interested in that. Anyway, I know you're dying to
know why we're here.
j And for how long.
e The other day, we went over our will with our lawyer...
ma Mom, Daddy, are you sick?
e Well, you know, your mother's always been a little ify. Well, other than that we're in perfect
health. Well, what we've decided to do is give our grandkids their bequests now.
k The point is, why wait until we're dead to enjoy ourselves.
e Here. Here, and Michael, here.
b It's cash.
mi Wow! A whole lot of cash.
c Five thousand Dollars.
e And you can spend it any way you want.
Ben and Mike: Oh, thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Ben and Mike: Thank you! Thank you!
ma Let your grandfather go; he can't breathe.
e Kate, I told you this would be more fun than going to Ireland.
ma Oh, Daddy, hold on here; before we get carried away...
c We can't accept it.
mi I'll take it!!
b I'll take it!!
j This is no way to act.
mi Dad, we'll split it with you.
b Yeah.
e No you won't! This money belongs to Carol.
ma Daddy, none of us want your money.
mi Mom! Mom! What are you doing?
k Let go of the money, Maggie! Let go of the money!
e Listen to your mother!!! Nobody move!! Margaret, this is our money, it was our decision to
give it to the grandchildren, and this doesn't involve you at all!
mi Enough said!
ma But Daddy, I thought you were saving you money to go to Ireland.
e Oh, I can get crocked on Stout anywhere.
k He has.
e Right, Kids, here it is; and you can spend it as you will.
Mike and Ben: Thanks!
ma Don't touch that money! Jason, help me out here.
j OK, alright! I'll tell you exactly what we should do, is just sit down, together as a family and
talk this out.
e Oh sure and then you charge them five thousand Dollars for the session. No siree bob.
ma Daddy I will not sit still and watch my kids squander your life-savings.
b What does squander mean?
c It means spending you money on whatever you want, whether you need it or not.
e Kate, can you believe this?
k Yes, she's always been a sour child.
e It's a dark day when your only daughter won't honour your last will in testament.
ma Oh...
e I guess when I used to fix your bicycle I couldn't have done much of a job.
ma Oh Daddy...
e Just when I used to get off work early so that I could come to your ballet recitals, that
wasn't enough.
ma Oh, please, I...I...
e And when I took that second job to put you through a highly academic high-school.
ma OK. Ok, the kids can keep the money.
mi Alright!
b Yes!
mi Yes! Benny, so how are you gonna spend yours?
b I don't know but that squander thing sounds pretty good to me.
mi Carol, you better get down to the bank; I mean by hanging out here, you've already blown
like sixteen Cents in interest.
c I don't like this.
j Ed, I gotta hand it to you; I have never seen a parent use guilt the way you do.
e Yep. I gotta admit, I'm good.
j I mean, Mike and Carol are over eighteen, but I just can't let my thirteen year old son walk
out of this house, Ed, with five thousand Dollars in his pocket.
e Ha ha ha, you're too late.
j Ben! Ben! Ben!
g Wow! And you can spend it any way you want?
b Yeah. And I got four thousand more in my shoes.
g Wow! Hey, I thought you looked collar.
b Here's Stinky. Keep the change.
st Ben, no-one's ever sent a cab for me before.
b This is only the beginning, Stink man, only the beginning.
Salesman: So, you really like this baby, huh?
mi Well, it looks a little beat-up.
sa Beat up? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. This machine has been completely reconditioned by my
own skilled technicians. It's a steal at fifteen hundred.
mi Well, actually, I can spend a little bit more than that.
sa Thank God, for fifteen hundred, all you get bupkiss, right? Now, for forty seven hundred, I
can put you behind the wheel of this little cherry here.
mi Oh, boy, this is more like it.
sa Oh, did I say forty seven hundred? I meant fifty seven.
sa 2 Get out! And this time I mean, stay out!!
Fred: Can't a gentleman browse any more?
sa 2 Mr. Dognuts are for customers, pop! You had no intention of buying a car.
f Not with that attitude, I don't.
mi Fred! Fred, how you doing?
sa2 You know this bum?
mi Oh yeah! Fred's been washing my wind shields at stop-lights for years. Fred, how you
been?
f Just dandy. Thank you very much for the inquiry. Can I offer you a doughnut?
sa Paul, call the cops!
f Perhaps another time.
sa OK, I said forty seven hundred, and that was a mistake, but it was my mistake, so...
mi Excuse me. Fred, you need a lift home?
f Oh, that's very kind, but I have transportation.
sa Forty five hundred, but I don't make a Nickel on it.
mi Excuse me.
sa Hey, what about the deal here?
mi Don't worry, I'll be back.
sa I'll be back, that's what they all say. Days like this, I almost wish I'd stayed a congress
man.
sa 2 You and me both.
j Ah now, I don't understand Mrs Sullivan you just... You let Stinky just get into a cab without
asking him where he was going. Yes I did let Ben out the door with five thousand Dollars
without asking where he was going, but that... Technically. Alright, well if you hear from them
just let us know the name of the country they're buying.
ma This is all your fault, you know.
j My fault! Why?
ma Well, I couldn't stop them; I was crippled with guilt.
j Look, I never even intended to let Ben out the door.
ma Oh, so you're ducking all responsibility?
j Oh, OK! OK! I shouldn't have been distracted by your father playing you like a bass fiddle.
And...err...now listen, if you'd try to think of the meaning behing my words here, instead of
the words themselves, because... You! Ed! This is all your fault!
e I beg your pardon.
j Well because of you my thirteen year old son is God-knows-where, doing God-knows-what
with more money than he ever imagined.
e Yeah, and aint it grand. Aha! Got over your guilt and ready to go out and hit the mall, huh?
c Grandpa, the thought of spending this money, makes me very sad.
e Sad?
c Because it forces me to realise there'll be a time when you're not around. Look, if you love
me you'll just take the money back.
e Sure honey.
c Thank you.
e But let's not tell your grandmother. This would break her heart.
c What?
e Oh, she's been waiting for this since the day you were born. The day that she bought you
that blanket that she knitted.
c Mr Blanky?
e The very same.
