To Grandmother's House We Go Page #4

Synopsis: Delivery firm truck driver Eddie Popko, a dreamy wannabee-cowboy, always flirts with convenience store clerk Rhonda Thompson, but his enthusiasm seems curbed when he meets her meanly hostile twin daughters Julie and Sarah, aged five. When the bratty pair hear mother wine all she wants for Christmas is a holiday without the handfuls, they decide to oblige by sneaking off to great grandma Mimi. Unable to find her or the right bus, they end up sneaking into Eddie's truck. He takes to babysitting during his round remarkably well, but when he delivers them home, he's knocked unconscious by senior robbers couple, dumb Harvey and mean Shirley, who stole the content of his firm's trucks, in this case Christmas parcels. Discovering the lottery tickets he bought and gave the brats to keep give access to a 1.3 million TV lottery finale, he decides to lead the search with Rhonda, police detective Gremp being incompetent, and even raises a 'borrowed' ransom.

Wait! Wait, Sarah. Wait!

Wait, Sarah.

Wait, Sarah. Wait.

Maybe next time you'll listen.

So come on, Julie.

We're not allowed to cross the street.

That's why I said:

We're cruising to Grandma's.

I hate going uphill.

-Keep pedaling. Don't give up.

-Oh, no.

-Are we there yet?

-I don't think so.

That's our next-door neighbor.

Hi, Mr. Johnson.

We're back where we started.

This is not working.

That is very lucky.

Let's go.

Don't let the driver see you.

Go in the back door.

-Try to look really small.

-I am really small.

Girls?

Sarah?

Julie?

Girls, if you're playing hide-and-go-seek,

I give up.

Please be somewhere.

-Stop 'N' Grab.

-You're gonna kill me.

I can't find the girls.

I looked everywhere for them.

You're gonna kill me.

I'm not gonna kill you.

I'm sure they're just outside playing.

Look, I'll be home as soon as I can.

Let's just stay calm.

Okay.

Everybody out!

Right now! We're closed.

Get out. Come on. Come on, let's go.

Let's go. Come on, little boy, let's go.

-What did we do?

-Come on.

Come on, I've got a crisis. Out. Now.

-Hey, I said, get out.

-I'm still looking.

-Come on.

-It's a 24-hour store.

-You're not supposed to close.

-Not today. Come on.

And now, for today's weather report.

It's going to be partly cloudy today,

with a high of 65. Or maybe not.

No snow flurries today.

-Back to you, Bill.

-My name isn't Bill.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Just practicing.

You never know when they

may need a new weather girl.

Does this bus go to Grandma's house?

I don't know. Where does Grandma live?

She lives in Edgemont.

That's three hours away.

This bus just goes downtown...

...then it goes uptown,

then back downtown.

-Get the idea?

-We're on the wrong bus.

Hope you get to Grandma's.

Merry Christmas, girls.

Merry Christmas, lady.

A very Merry Christmas, lady.

I beat you again.

-You got a problem.

-No, you got a problem.

-No, you got a problem.

-No, you got a problem.

-No, you got a problem.

-No, you got a problem.

-You are getting on my nerves.

-You are getting on my nerves.

-Don't start that again.

-You started it.

They packed their bags. They took

their money. Why would they run away?

We better call the police.

Yeah, you're right.

Hey, did you just drop a chicken bone

in my case?

There's still some meat on there.

Well, okay.

Merry Christmas.

Hey, it's Princess Penny!

We gotta go in there.

We gotta go to Grandma's.

But it's Princess Penny.

I know, but we gotta go.

But it's Princess Penny.

It was Princess Penny.

-Come on, Sarah.

-Give it up, Julie.

-Oh, I miss those things.

-You don't know how lucky you are.

-That's the man who killed Frosty.

-Come with me.
