Ellen: Marilyn, you want coffee or tea?
Marilyn: Coffee, please.
Ellen: I am so excited! At this time tomorrow morning, Grandpa will be sitting in the kitchen with us.
Marilyn: When does he arrive?
Ellen: At six o'clock this evening.
Marilyn: By plane?
Ellen: No, by train.
Marilyn: Are we picking him up at the station?
Ellen: Not Grandpa. He doesn't want anybody picking him up. He likes to be independent.
Marilyn: Huh.
Ellen: Oh, let's go upstairs and prepare Grandpa's room.
Marilyn: Great! Let's do it!
Richard: Good morning, Mom.
Robbie: Morning.
Ellen: Well, hi, fellas.
Richard: Hello.
Marilyn: Hi, honey.
Richard & Robbie: Morning, Marilyn.
Marilyn: We're going upstairs to set up Grandpa's room. There's coffee ready.
Robbie: I'm really excited about seeing Grandpa.
Richard: Me, too. Milk, please.
Robbie: He's so funny. He always makes me laugh. I hope Grandpa's going to like living with us.
Richard: I think he will. It just takes time to fell comfortable in a new place.
Robbie: Won't he miss being in Florida?
Richard: Will, he will. But I think he'll like being here with the family.
Robbie: Are you sure about that? It's crazy here most of the time.
Richard: But it's fun.
Robbie: That's for sure.
Richard: You know, maybe I'll put together some photos of Grandpa as a "welcome" present.
Robbie: That's a neat idea. What can I do? I've got it! I have a picture of Grandpa and Dad and me in my wallet. It's from the Fathers and Son's Breakfast at my junior high school graduation.
Richard: Oh, I remember this picture.
Robbie: I'd really like to pick up Grandpa at the railroad station.
Richard: Railroad stations or airports—Grandpa always tells us he'll get here by himself.
Robbie: He's something!
Marilyn: Is this all Grandpa's stuff?
Ellen: That's it. But I'm sure he has a few bags with him on the train.
Marilyn: What's inside?
Ellen: I don't know. It's locked.
Philip: Hi.
Ellen: Oh, hi, darling.
Marilyn: Morning, Philip.
Philip: I want to put some of my good hangers in Grandpa's closet. You know I'm very excited about his arrival.
Ellen: We are, too. Susan called early this morning. She's unhappy and can't leave till tonight. She wants to be here for Grandpa.
Philip: Well, Grandpa will be disappointed, too. He loves Susan. She always reminds him of Grandma. Well, how's everything here?
Marilyn: Fine. We were just wondering about this trunk.
Ellen: It's locked.
Philip: Oh. I have the key. Grandpa sent it to me.
