Sheryl : So what happened with Stan Grossman?
Richard : He's in Scottsdale.
Sheryl : Why didn't he call?
Richard : Will you let me worry about this, please?
Sheryl : Dwayne, can you check on
Frank? Tell him it's dinnertime. Olive! Dinnertime!
Olive : Coming!
Frank : What? Dinner? What, you don't talk anymore? Why not? You can talk. You
just choose not to? Is that Nietzsche? You don't speak because of Friedrich
Nietzsche. Far out.
Sheryl : Frank, you can sit here next to Dwayne. Here's the salad, and I'm
gonna run and get Sprite for everyone. Olive, come on! Dinnertime!
Olive : Okay.
Frank : So who do you hang out with? No one? What about your family?
Richard : Frank! Hey!
Frank : Richard.
Richard : Good to... see you. Let me get Olive. Olive? Dad?
Sheryl : You guys, go on and start.
Grandpa : Let's go!
Olive : We're coming.
Sheryl : Frank, some Sprite?
Frank : Yes.
Sheryl : And I want everyone to have at least a little salad.
Frank : Thanks, Sheryl.
Sheryl : Honey.
Frank : So, Sheryl, I couldn't help noticing Dwayne has stopped speaking.
Sheryl : Oh, yeah, he's taken a vow of
silence.
Frank : You've taken a vow of silence?
Sheryl : Yeah. He's gonna join the Air Force Academy, become a test pilot and
he's taken a vow of silence until he reaches that goal.
Frank : You're kidding?
Olive : Hi, Uncle Frank.
Frank : Oh, hey, Olive. Wow, you're gettin' big. Almost like a real person.
Olive : What happened to your arms?
Sheryl : Olive.
Frank : That's all right. I had a little accident. I'm okay.
Richard : How's the, uh, routine coming, honey?
Olive : It's good.
Richard : Yeah? When are you gonna show it to us?
Olive : I don't know. It's up to Grandpa.
Grandpa : A couple of days. Still needs work. What's that? Chicken? Every
night it's the fuckin' chicken! Holy God Almighty! Is it possible just once-
Richard : Dad!
Grandpa : We could get something to eat for dinner around here that's not the
goddamn fucking chicken?
Richard : Hey, Dad!
Grandpa : I'm just sayin'-
Richard : Dad!
Grandpa : Christ.
Richard : When you ever want to start cooking your own food, you're more than
welcome.
Grandpa : At Sunset Manor, you know-
Richard : If you like Sunset Manor, you shouldn't have got yourself kicked out. Right?
Grandpa : For God's sakes.
