Nurse: [answers phone] Simpson.
Grampa: Hot diggity! I don't care if it's bad news!
Lisa: Oh, Grampa! You're not busy, are you?
Grampa: Well, you're really asking two questions there. The first
one takes me back to 1934. Admiral Byrd had just reached the
pole, only hours ahead of the Three Stooges ...
[later]
... and I guess he won the argument, but I walked away with
the turnips. The following morning, I resigned my commission
in the Coast Guard. The next thing I heard, there was civil
war in Spain ...
[much later]
... and, that's everything that happened in my life right up
to the time I got this phone call.
Lisa: Uh huh. So, anything else you want to talk about?
Grampa: I'm afraid I'd just be repeating myself, honey. Uh, anyway,
other people need to use the phone. [holds up receiver]
Jasper: Uh, uh. I've already talked to her twenty damn minutes.
