0:01:14 > 0:01:16It makes me feel like singing.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19But don't worry, I won't. God spare you.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Oh! Look at this room.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Hold on, I'll be right back.

0:01:27 > 0:01:28I know. You all tuned in

0:01:28 > 0:01:31to see my granddaughter, Francine, and her friends

0:01:31 > 0:01:35but first I want to talk to you about getting old.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Getting old, kids, is wonderful.

0:01:38 > 0:01:43There are a few little annoyances, the knees don't work so well.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47When I was your age I could jump over this table.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51Now, if I drop a cookie it stays on the floor.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Big deal. The dog'll it eat it.

0:01:53 > 0:01:58My ears aren't so good. I don't hear half the things people say to me

0:01:58 > 0:02:01and the other half, you want to know? I just ignore.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Why? Because I've heard most of it before.

0:02:04 > 0:02:08I'm fat. I'm broke. Why isn't there anything good on TV?

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Please! You are alive! Stop complaining!

0:02:12 > 0:02:15Then there's are all the aches and pains.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Some days this pinkie, it hurts.

0:02:18 > 0:02:22Other days it's my tongue! Go figure.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25But there are great things too.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28First of all, it's cheaper to ride the bus. Yeah!

0:02:28 > 0:02:31And any time can be nap time

0:02:31 > 0:02:33especially if somebody is boring you to tears.

0:02:33 > 0:02:38You know the best part? You still make new friends.

0:02:38 > 0:02:43Anyhow, I want to share with you the story of my new friend.

0:02:43 > 0:02:47You are never going to guess who it is so I'm just going to tell you.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Are you ready? My new friend is... What?

0:02:50 > 0:02:53We're out of time already?

0:02:53 > 0:02:55I was talking too much?

0:02:55 > 0:02:59OK, fine. Children darlings, it is time for the show.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03You'll watch, you'll enjoy. Goodbye for now. Yeah. Bye, bye.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Will someone please tell me what was the rush?

0:03:05 > 0:03:08At this age, I only have two speeds. Slow and stop.

0:03:08 > 0:03:12It's public television. Why don't we stop and smell the roses?

0:03:12 > 0:03:14Has anyone got a rose?

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Grandpa Dave's Memory Album.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22He's coming!

0:03:24 > 0:03:25He's coming!

0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Who's coming? - Grandpa Dave and guess what?

0:03:28 > 0:03:30He's staying in my room.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33And guess what else? You get to set up the cot.

0:03:36 > 0:03:39Hmm. No, move it over there.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43- Why don't you move it? - Mom says I'll pinch my fingers.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46I wonder how long Grandpa will be staying with us?

0:03:46 > 0:03:50I don't know. Mom said he was coming in to see the doctor.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53Erm. No, move it back.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54Oh!

0:03:54 > 0:03:58Mom! Arthur's being mean to Grandpa.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59Hnnn!

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Well, hello everybody.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08Holy moly, let me look at you two.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11Arthur, you must be about two inches taller.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14I don't think so. It's only been two months since we saw you.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19This town sure has changed since I was a boy.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22Nice ride you kids have here. Is it new?

0:04:22 > 0:04:26No. You rode in it this summer for Aunt Lucy's wedding. Remember?

0:04:26 > 0:04:28We did just get it cleaned, though.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Oh! That must be it.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Heh-heh! It's so good to see you two little rascals.

0:04:33 > 0:04:38Later on, if you're good, I'll make you my special country stew.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51# Let's all count to one

0:04:51 > 0:04:53# Let's all count to one

0:04:53 > 0:04:56# Let's all count to one. #

0:05:02 > 0:05:04Ready? Go!

0:05:04 > 0:05:07One hundred, ninety nine, ninety eight, ninety seven,

0:05:07 > 0:05:10ninety six, ninety five, ninety four...

0:05:14 > 0:05:16He'll never find me here.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Where is he?- Beats me.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38- What's he doing? - He's talking to Mom.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41- It's probably a trick. - I don't care, I'm hungry.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45Home free! Yes, I win! Woo-hoo!

0:05:47 > 0:05:51- I'm hungry too.- Where have you two been? Off playing?

0:05:51 > 0:05:56Well, yeah. We were playing hide and seek with you.

0:05:56 > 0:06:01Oh, were you? I'm sorry, I must have got distracted, Archie.

0:06:01 > 0:06:03Wait. That's not right.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Arnold? It's Arnold, right?

0:06:05 > 0:06:10- Oh, dear.- That's OK, Dad. It's Arthur.

0:06:10 > 0:06:14I'm taking Grandpa to his doctor's appointment, Dad's in the garage.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17We'll be back in an hour and then we'll have a family talk.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22How could he forget my name?

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Well, Arthur isn't a very memorable name.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Actually, I think you look more like an Arnold.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31- This is all your fault. - How is it my fault?

0:06:31 > 0:06:35You've been playing with him too much. He's probably exhausted.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40The reason I want to talk to everyone

0:06:40 > 0:06:42is because I got some news today.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46See, I've had problems remembering things lately.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50Just last week I got lost walking around my own farm.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52You did?

0:06:52 > 0:06:56Afraid so. The doctor told me my memory is starting to go.

0:06:56 > 0:07:01Maybe you need to tie a string around your finger. I'll get some ribbon.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03This isn't like normal forgetting, honey.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Everyone forgets things when they get to be my age

0:07:06 > 0:07:08but some folks get a disease

0:07:08 > 0:07:10that makes it harder for them to remember.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14- It's not my fault, is it? - Of course not.

0:07:14 > 0:07:15See.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19It's no-one's fault. It's just the way the cookie crumbles.

0:07:19 > 0:07:25But I feel fine and I'm going to be moving closer to you.

0:07:25 > 0:07:26That's the bright side.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30Grandpa will need some extra care from all of us.

0:07:30 > 0:07:32I'll take care of you, Grandpa.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37I need some photographs.

0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Photographs of what?- Anything.

0:07:40 > 0:07:45The house, vacations, me, but not too many of you.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47We already have tons of those.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Why are you gathering photos?

0:07:49 > 0:07:51I'm making a book to help Grandpa remember things.

0:07:51 > 0:07:53It's a memory book.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56What's the point? He'll just forget them anyway.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58He'll probably forget what it's even for.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02OK, mister! I'm only putting in one picture of you!

0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Ouch?- Are you all right, darling?

0:08:08 > 0:08:12Why are you standing? All the blood will rush to your feet.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Sit down.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17- How many fingers do I have?- Two.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21Actually I have ten! Last time I checked.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Anyhow. You seem OK, darling.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26A little thin. I'm going to talk to your mother.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29Hey, Arthur. You've met my grandma, Bubby, right?

0:08:29 > 0:08:31Sure. We're old friends.

0:08:31 > 0:08:36You had the pizza thing when Frankie was trying to fast for Yom Kippur.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38I still don't know why you didn't change the date.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40How hard could that have been?

0:08:40 > 0:08:44- Want to play with us?- No, thanks. I kinda want to be alone.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47What? Why do you want to be alone?

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Something is bothering you. Tell Bubby.

0:08:50 > 0:08:54I'm fine. I'm just... It's my grandpa.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56He didn't remember my name the other day

0:08:56 > 0:08:58and now it turns out he has this problem.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02Just a sec. Do you mind if we have this conversation over pastrami?

0:09:02 > 0:09:05This one's got me running around like a golden retriever.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11I'm sorry to hear that about your grandfather, Arthur.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13But what can I do about it?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Nothing.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Listen, Arthur sweetheart, people change.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21The body changes and brains change too.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25You think I can do long division know? Forget about it.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27But here's the thing.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30Your grandfather will always be your grandfather.

0:09:30 > 0:09:35He's still in there. He still loves you very, very much.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37Now, drink your water.

0:09:37 > 0:09:41Your body's 70% water so it's like drinking more you.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Does she ever stop moving? - This is nothing.

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Yesterday she alphabetised the cereal.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Do you think Bubby would come over for dinner this week?

0:09:49 > 0:09:52I'm sure she'd love to so long as you don't mind

0:09:52 > 0:09:55if she cleans your kitchen when you're not looking.

0:09:57 > 0:09:58Delicious!

0:09:58 > 0:10:04I may not be so good with names, but I still make a mean country stew.

0:10:04 > 0:10:08I don't know what country this is from but I am moving there!

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Shall we have coffee in the living room?

0:10:10 > 0:10:15Go, go. I'll do the dishes. If I don't keep moving I'll fossilise.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Where have those kids gotten to?

0:10:17 > 0:10:20I've got a batch of really old photos.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Some of these photos date back to the 1950s.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Thanks, Francine. These will be perfect.

0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Are they closed tight, tight, tight? - They are.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35OK. You can open them now.

0:10:35 > 0:10:39Holy moly. What's this?

0:10:39 > 0:10:42It's a Memory Book. We made it to help you remember things.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46See. This was at Aunt Lucy's wedding.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Don't I look great?

0:10:48 > 0:10:50You do indeed, princess.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53That's the way Elwood city used to look, remember?

0:10:53 > 0:10:57I have some trouble remembering new things

0:10:57 > 0:10:59but I sure remember old stuff like this.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03- Where did you find this picture? - From Francine's Grandma.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06I've got a million of them, just like my liver spots.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09You were talking about how the town had changed.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13- I thought you'd like to see these. - That's wonderful.

0:11:13 > 0:11:17You kids are great. I know this hasn't been easy on you.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21It's OK. Even if you do forget my name once in a while,

0:11:21 > 0:11:23I'm still your grandson.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31- Is this you?- Sure is. I was cute, huh?

0:11:31 > 0:11:34Remember that? It's the Music Box.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37Oh, yes. Of course.

0:11:37 > 0:11:41It was a vaudeville house and then it turned to movies.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Bubby's better than pictures. She's a living memory book.

0:11:44 > 0:11:50And across the street was Drenen's. 37 varieties of pickles. Remember?

0:11:50 > 0:11:54Let me get you some water. Are you turning into a camel in front of me?

0:11:54 > 0:11:56Don't worry, Bubby's got it covered.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04# Every day when you're walkin' down the street

0:12:04 > 0:12:07# And everybody that you meet

0:12:07 > 0:12:10# Has an original point of view

0:12:11 > 0:12:13- # And I say, hey!- Hey!

0:12:13 > 0:12:15- # What a wonderful kind of day.- Hey!

0:12:15 > 0:12:18# What a wonderful kind of day. #
