JED
What are you doing out here on the truck, Grannie?
GRANNIE
Waiting for Jethro to pack up our stuff. Jed, we've got to move
out of this big old mansion.
JED
What's gotten into you Grannie? I thought you were finally getting
used to not having to get up until three in the morning to get to work.
GRANNIE
I was. And that's the trouble. I feel like this lifestyle we have here
is making us all soft. Take Jethro, for example. He used to eat five
times the food he eats now. The boy's practically skin and bones!
JED
Grannie! That's a lie! The boy weighs 280! Now get your wrinkled,
old butt off the truck and get back in here and get lunch started.
GRANNIE
Jed, if you don't get Jethro out here and -
JED
Grannie, the boy's off double naught spying or some such.
GRANNIE
If Jethro's not here, go get Ellie May. Us women folk will leave
even if you men folk stay!
JED LEANS OVER AN LET'S THE AIR OUT OF THE TRUCK TIRES.
GRANNIE
Jed, you sorry ex-pioneer type! I'm drawing my dough out of the bank
and taking the next bird back home.
JED THROWS A ROPE AROUND GRANNIE'S NECK AND YANKS HER OFF THE TRUCK. GRANIE FALLS ON HER HEAD ON THE SIDEWALK.
JED
Now, Grannie don't make me mad! Get in there and cook!
