Honey, relax, your grandma
has our address.
Well, she should've
been here by now.
I should have listened
to Uncle Ned.
He said this trip
would be too much for her.
Oh, come on, you said yourself
your Uncle Ned's a nerd.
But she's coming
all the way from Ohio.
It's a safe trip now.
We signed a peace treaty
with the Mohawks.
You're right.
I'll relax.
I think I hear her.
I'll check.
[HUMS]
If that's your grandma,
she's got a good arm.
I just wish she'd let us
pick her up at the airport.
She wouldn't even tell us
what flight she was on.
Is she always that independent?
Always.
She once b*at up a Boy Scout
for trying to help her
across the street.
Hi, guys, Bye, guys.
See you later, okay?
Wait. Where are you going?
To a movie.
Without checking with me?
Or with me?
Shouldn't you stay until
Kate's grandmother arrives?
I have to check with her too?
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Finally.
[CLEARS THROAT]
Oh, it's only you.
I'm sorry. It's the best
I can do on such short notice.
Here are the papers to sign.
Oh, thanks, bud.
I'm sorry, Dexter.
It's just that I thought
you were my grandmother.
Kate's expecting her
grandmother, and she's nervous.
Because Uncle Ned wants to put
her in an old folks' home.
He doesn't want to put
her in an old folks' home.
He wants her
to move in with him.
She tends to forget things
and get in a little trouble.
Sounds like Alfonso.
Maybe Uncle Ned
could have him instead.
You know, it's hard to picture
Grandma needing anyone's help.
This is a woman
who can take a tractor apart
and put it back together again.
My kind of woman.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
I got it.
Hey, Mr. Fay.
Oh, it's our next-door neighbor.
I may have something
that belongs to you.
She kept hugging my wife
and calling her Kate.
Grandma?
Grandma! Ho-ho!
We'd have kept her,
but we have one of our own.
Oh, let's sit down.
You must be tired.
Why? I took a plane,
I didn't walk.
You must be Edward.
[CHUCKLES]
Somehow I thought
you'd marry someone
a little taller.
[KATE LAUGHS]
No. No, this is our friend,
Dexter Stuffins.
Hi, I'm so pleased to meet you.
If I have trouble with
my tractor, I'll call you.
Okay.
Bye, Dex.
Oh, don't tell me.
No. No, I'm not Edward
either. I'm Rick.
Oh. My, my,
you're big for your age.
How old are you?
I'm .
Eh, don't worry.
You have time to grow.
Uh, this is Edward.
Oh...
[CHUCKLING]
See anything you like?
Ooh!
[LAUGHS]
Looks and a sense of humor.
[GIGGLES]
I'd keep my eye on him.
[LAUGHS]
Uh, why don't we sit down?
Can I get you a cold drink?
No, I just had a beer next door.
Grandma, I'll take
your bag upstairs, all right?
And then I'll go
to the movies, right?
Wrong.
So, Grandma Mildred,
it's your first visit
to New York.
Oh, yes. I can't wait
to see the Big Apple.
Let's have lunch tomorrow
in Central Park.
Oh, Edward and I have
to work all weekend.
Why don't we take you next week?
That's okay.
I'll go by myself.
Uh, Grandma, I don't think
that's a good idea.
Now, you don't have to worry.
I go a lot of places by myself.
Grandma, in New York,
policemen don't
go by themselves.
We'll go anywhere
you want next week.
There's all kinds
of things to show you,
the Statue of Liberty,
Metropolitan Museum,
art galleries...
Grant's Tomb,
Greenwich Village,
Staten Island Ferry.
You name it.
Heh, well, you know what
I've always wanted to see?
What's that?
Those cute little cable cars
that go up and down the hills!
[♪♪♪]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
All right, let me guess.
It's Alfonso.
You're wearing a green--
No, no, no, red sweater,
and you're carrying
a basketball.
Wow!
How'd you do that?
Heh, I looked out the window.
Good trick.
Get your sneakers.
We're going to the park
to play b-ball.
All right-- Oh, I can't.
I've gotta stay here.
Arlene Dennison said
she might come by
and sh**t a few hoops.
Man, I'd love to go
one-on-one with her.
But I can't.
My parents ordered me
to stay home
with Kate's grandma.
You're kidding.
What are you gonna do,
watch her take her nap?
Nothing that exciting,
I'm sure.
Can't you call your folks and
tell them something's come up?
Forget it.
You don't know what it's like
to deal with people
who won't listen to reason.
Rick, I live
with my Uncle Dexter.
Right. Right.
But even with him, you have
to sometimes lay down the law.
Come on, you've never
laid down the law with Dexter.
Sure, I did. That's why
I got grounded for nine weeks.
Well, bye.
See you.
By the way, say hello
to Arlene for me.
No way.
[SIGHS]
Where were you, Grandma?
Oh, heh, I was out gardening.
I cut down all those old bushes
out there by the pine trees.
Well, that's not our property.
Then I'll send them a bill.
It's a beautiful day.
Why aren't you outside?
You've seen one beautiful day,
you've seen them all, right?
Besides, I love hanging
around my house.
Oh, heh. Got stuck
babysitting me, huh?
No, come on, I'm not stuck.
You wanna watch television,
walk in the garden,
play cards?
Think I could stand
all the excitement?
What would you like to do?
I'd like you to go outside
and play with your friends.
Just because I have
a couple of gray hairs
doesn't mean I need a keeper.
Well, yeah, but...
Oh, you'd think
I'd get used to people
telling me what I can
and can't do, but I don't.
Boy, I know what you mean.
I can't even go to a movie
unless it's PG...
and I've done my homework...
and it's not on a school night.
Yeah, I have to listen to a lot
of rules and regulations too.
From Uncle Ned, huh?
Oh, it's hard being old.
One day you're changing
your kid's diaper,
and the next day
he's puffing on a pipe
and telling you
how to run your life.
You want a soda?
Yeah.
Wouldn't it be great
if we could
do whatever we wanted
whenever we wanted?
Like go to a movie.
Or a circus.
Yeah. Or a rock concert.
Yeah.
Or a male strip club.
I'm only teasing, heh-heh.
Sort of.
Grandma, what would
you do right now
if you could do
anything in the world?
If I wasn't stuck with you?
Right.
Well, all my life
I've dreamed
of going to New York
and seeing the Rockettes
at Radio City.
You're kidding.
No.
I've always thought that would
be the height of glamour.
You know, when I was young,
I used to sneak out
into the barn at night
and do high kicks
in my underwear.
I'll bet the cows loved that.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, but cows love everything.
Listen, Grandma, why don't
you and I go see the Rockettes?
What?
Come on, we'll go right now.
You sure you wouldn't be bored?
Me, bored by chorus girls
in skimpy outfits?
I'll suffer through it.
What are we waiting for?
All right!
Oh, wait a minute.
We should leave a note
for the warden.
What should I say?
Tell the truth.
Say we're mad as [BLEEP]
and we ain't
taking it anymore.
[♪♪♪]
I don't know
how you can defend Uncle Ned.
I'm not defending him,
but what's the harm
in him making a few calls?
A few? He was on the phone
throughout the day,
every minutes.
He's trying to get you
to talk Mildred
into coming to live with him.
Shh!
[WHISPERS]
I think it's nice of him.
It isn't easy, having
an older person living with you.
Well, not at first,
but I've gotten used to you.
[IMITATING OLD MAN]
By cracky, mwah!
That's a knee-slapper.
Mwah-ha-ha!
Shh. She'll hear you.
[IN REGULAR VOICE]
I don't think
she hears that well.
What?
Rick took her into the city
to see the Rockettes.
They went in alone?
Honey, will you stop worrying?
Rick's a big boy.
What could happen?
In New York?
You want a list?
Oh. Hi, Dad, Hi, Kate.
Oh.
See? Nothing to worry about.
Boy, did we have
a good time. Heh-heh.
Grandma Mildred, guys,
she had the time of her life.
Rick, this person
who had the time of her life,
is she anywhere around?
Maybe you'd better sit down.
What?
Maybe I'd better sit down.
Rick, where's Grandma?
I'm not sure.
What's that
supposed to mean?
Well, I kind of...
lost her.
[♪♪♪]
[♪♪♪]
You lost her?
How do you lose
a grandmother?
I don't know, Dad. I just did.
It's not like she's a wallet
or a set of keys!
We'd better call the police.
I already did, Kate.
They took a description
and told me to go home.
I'll call the manager
at the music hall.
I did that too.
He took a description
and told me to go home.
Well, I've gotta do something.
Honey, sit down.
That's a start.
You lost her?!
We were waiting in line
outside the music hall,
and first thing I knew,
she was gone.
You shouldn't have let her
out of your sight!
I didn't take my eyes off her,
not once.
It's all my fault.
I should've listened
to Uncle Ned.
Come on, guys,
let's look at the bright side.
Remember the time
I lost my hamster?
Grandma isn't hiding
under the house.
Dad, that's not what I meant.
What I mean is, we're gonna
find her, heh...eventually.
[GROANS]
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
Yeah, hello.
Oh, uh... Hi, Uncle Ned.
Hi. Heh.
Your Grandma Mildred?
Well, she's, uh...
She's, uh... She's, uh...
She's having
a wonderful time.
Gosh, it's hard
keeping up with her.
What?
He said to turn on
The Phil Manning Show.
It's Grandma Mildred!
KATE: I can't believe it!
Oh, thank God
she's all right.
And I used to sneak
into the barn at night
and do high kicks
in my underwear.
Oh, no.
Uh, Uncle Ned,
we'll call you right back.
So, uh, what exactly
are you doing here?
Well, you silly man. Ha!
You picked me out
of the audience.
Don't you remember?
Ha! I mean...
I mean, here in New York.
Oh. Well, I'm visiting
my granddaughter
and her new family.
And looking for fellas. Heh!
Are you married, Phil?
Uh, well, uh, yes, I am,
but, you know, that
doesn't have to stop us.
Oh!
Oh!
[CHUCKLES]
Phil, I'm an old-fashioned girl.
[AUDIENCE APPLAUDING]
Guys, she's great!
You know, I usually cut this off
for the next guest,
but why don't we
consult the audience?
Now, what do you say?
Should I interview Mildred...
or Don Johnson?
AUDIENCE [CHANTING]:
Mildred! Mildred! Mildred!
Ha-ha! Okay, sorry, Don.
I guess you're just
not big enough.
Information? Yes.
Manhattan, please.
Do you have the number of
The Phil Manning Show?
So, uh, how has it been,
visiting your granddaughter?
Oh, great.
She's changed so much.
Ah, she's just
all grown-up, huh?
She doesn't stutter anymore.
I have never stuttered.
I mean, she doesn't know
what she's t-t-t-- Saying.
Did I tell you I used to go
with Ronnie Reagan?
You mean, you know
President Reagan?
Oh, we went to
grammar school together.
Ooh, he was a wild one.
Ooh-hoo-hoo!
I always thought he'd wind up
in the medical profession...
always wanting
to play doctor, heh!
Um... We'll be right back
after a word from our sponsors.
Just hold her there.
We'll come right down and
get her. Thank you. Come on.
Yeah, we'd better
get there before Nancy.
She's not here!
I can't believe they'd just
let her wander off like that.
Excuse me.
Are you the producer?
I should be. I've been on
the show for three years.
Well, maybe you can help us.
If I can't help, no one can.
You know that
little old lady on the show?
That was my idea.
I spotted her in the audience.
Oh, thank goodness.
Someone here
knows what's going on.
That's me. Nothing happens here
that I don't know about.
You know where she is?
Who?
The little old lady.
Hey, I got
more important things to do.
I got a show to run.
Where's my sandwich?
I'm starving.
Uh, coming right up,
Mr. Manning.
EDWARD:
Maybe Phil Manning can help.
He seems like such a nice man.
Uh, Mr. Manning, um,
maybe you could help us.
We're looking for--
Who let these people in here?
No, you don't understand.
Hey, guard! Guard!
That lady you were--
Some people!
Bring me a sandwich,
will you? Come on.
Hi, Rick.
Oh, Amy. Uh, hi. Heh.
Amy, these are my parents.
Hi.
Hi.
Did you find your grandmother?
Not yet.
Oh, you must be worried sick.
I hope you're not
too mad at Rick.
It was as much
my fault as his.
Pardon?
Well, it happened
when Rick was writing
down my phone number.
Your phone number?
And my address.
Anyway, when we looked up,
she was gone.
Didn't take your eyes
off her, huh?
For a second. She has
a very, very short address.
Well, I have
to get back to work.
If I see her,
I'll let you know. Bye.
See you.
She seems very nice.
Yeah, she is.
Too bad you won't be allowed
out of your room
for the next two months.
Oh, no.
Uncle Ned is right.
I tried to avoid facing it,
but after today,
I don't see any other way.
What are you talking about?
Grandma Mildred needs somebody
to take care of her full-time.
You want to put Grandma
in an old folks' home?
[♪♪♪]
Dad, Michelangelo was
still painting at the age of .
They didn't
put him in a home.
What about Don Ameche,
George Burns?
Okay, I think
you made your point.
But there is no reason--
Please, Rick,
I'm worried enough about
how we're gonna find her.
Find who?
Grandma!
She's here!
Well, sure I'm here.
Where were you people?
I was getting worried.
Where were we?
Yeah. Did you see me
on television?
Yeah, we did.
You were very, very good.
Come on. She was terrific.
Did I have enough rouge on?
You looked beautiful.
Uh, Grandma,
why didn't you call?
Gee, I thought I did call.
No, you didn't call, Grandma.
Hm. Well, that nice
Mrs. Wallgreen
let me use the telephone.
Or was it Mrs. Greenwald?
Uh, Grandma,
I've gotta talk to you.
I've spoken to Uncle Ned.
I don't want
to talk about Ned.
He wants me to spend the rest
of my days in a porch swing
with a bunch
of old, dried-up geezers.
No, he doesn't.
He wants you to live
with him in his house.
I'm talking about his house...
and all his
old, fuddy-duddy friends.
They don't understand me
like you three.
You appreciate me.
I had more fun today
than I've had in years.
Oh, it was such fun
watching those Rockettes!
♪ I want to be a part of it ♪
♪ In old New York ♪
Whoa!
[BOTH LAUGHING]
Whoo!
Whoo.
Honey.
You have to be firm.
Uh, Grandma,
this isn't easy for me,
but I... I've given it
a lot of thought.
I've decided...
you're gonna
move in here with us.
Kate--
[TIMER BUZZES]
MILDRED: Oh!
Excuse me.
Way to be firm.
Well, I couldn't let her move in
with the fuddy-duddies.
I don't think she
wants to move in with anybody.
Us, Uncle Ned,
or the fuddy-duddies.
Rick, you don't understand.
Grandma cannot
take care of herself.
Grandma...
One second.
Whee!
[BOTH LAUGH]
What are you doing?
Oh, I'm making
your favorite dinner.
Veal parmigiana?
It will be ready in minutes.
Hey, hey.
Something smells good.
No kidding.
Stay away from the stove.
Hollandaise.
Yeah?
Go sit down over there.
Look at this.
Asparagus, new potatoes,
hollandaise, salad.
Yes.
And apple strudel
for dessert.
Now, get out of my way.
Grandma, let me ask you
a little question.
How exactly did you get home
from Rockefeller Center?
Oh, well, uh, I took a cab
to Pennsylvania Station,
the train to Long Island,
a bus to the grocery store
and another cab home.
And you did that
all on your own?
Well, don't act so surprised.
Just because my memory
isn't what it used to be, I...
I can remember the names
of all the kids
I went to school with,
and I can't remember
what I had for lunch today.
You didn't have any lunch.
Oh. See what I mean?
Just because people can't
always remember things
don't mean they can't
be independent.
I like having my own apartment
and being able to go
when I want, where I want.
But, Grandma--
I know, dear. I know.
You're just trying to help,
and so is poor Ned.
And someday I may
need looking after.
Who knows?
I may enjoy spending time
with some of those
old geezers on his porch.
But not yet. Understand?
I guess so.
Now, where do you
keep candlesticks?
Uh, in the buffet.
Oh.
Oh, sweetheart,
thank you for the offer.
It's nice to know
you'll be here when I need you.
But not until
I decide I need you.
Edward, where were you?
You're supposed to sign
the Herbert account papers.
You want 'em right away?
Yes!
I left a message.
Don't you guys check
your answering machine?
I guess we forgot.
We haven't checked it all day.
MILDRED [ON RECORDING]:
Hello. This is Mildred.
I got separated from Rick,
but I'm sure
he's going to be fine,
so I'm going to see
the Rockettes
and then The Phil Manning Show.
I'll be home about .
Toodle-oo!
Boy...
I guess we kind of
misjudged her, didn't we?
We sure did.
I guess you kind of
misjudged me too, huh?
No.
You're not serious
about grounding me?
Yes.
You lose
one little grandmother...
Oh, excuse me, folks.
Mildred, we all want
to tell you something.
Yeah, but, Edward--
No, no, wait.
Please, this is important.
You know,
all of us feel like
we've kind of
underestimated you.
No, no, no, I didn't.
Me neither.
Guys, please.
Yeah, but, Edward, the table--
Well, we'll eat in a minute,
but this is important,
and I want you to know it,
that we all know now
that you're perfectly capable
of taking care of yourself.
Thank you. Is that all?
Yes.
Do you have
a fire extinguisher?
Whoa!
