To Grandmother's House We Go Page #5

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.

He brought us presents,

so he goes to Grandma's.

We could get a ride in his truck.

But he doesn't like us.

So we better be sneaky.

We can hide behind that big dog.

We're having a very lucky day.

Go, before he sees us. Hurry.

Those FPD bandits give you

any trouble?

Are you kidding?

Shoot, they won't come near me.

Well, you have a Merry Christmas,

young fella.

You too.

This will never work.

It is gonna work.

How do you know it's gonna work?

How do you know it's not gonna work?

You're impossible.

He's making my ears hurt.

I gotta go to the bathroom.

You should've gone

before we left the house.

I didn't have to go then,

but I have to go now.

Mister!

I gotta go to the bathroom.

Where the hell did you come from?

You said the H-word.

I gotta go to the bathroom,

and this is no joke.

Right. You kids sit down right here.

I'll find you a bathroom.

In the meantime, sing a cowboy song.

It takes your mind off your problems.

This is not working.

Just hold on. I'll get you

to a bathroom as soon as I can.

Doesn't this thing go any faster?

We're here. We're here.

Just hold your horses...

...and everything else.

All these turns are not helping.

Hang on. I'll get you down.

Hurry. Hurry. Hurry.

Okay. Okay.

Just keep saying, "l can hold it."

I can hold it. I can hold it. I can hold it.

Come on, Sarah, you can hold it.

I can hold it!

You heard her! Where's your bathroom?

All the way in the back.

-Hurry. Hurry.

-I'm hurrying. I'm hurrying. I know.

-Which way?

-Back that way.

-Hurry. Hurry.

-Just hang in there. Hang in there.

-Keep going, man.

-Okay, which way now?

Back here.

-Which one?

-The one with the dress.

-I was afraid of that.

-Keep moving. I'll get the door.

-Hey, buddy.

-It's just a drop-off. Go, kid, go.

I'm going. I'm going.

Oh, sorry.

You should be.

I think I'll go now.

I told her to go before we left...

...but she never listens.

She thinks she knows everything.

No kidding.

It's true.

I feel much better. Thanks, mister.

Don't mention it. I'm sure you'd

have done the same for me.

So let me get this straight:

You packed your bags,

rode your bike around the block...

...you hopped the bus,

looked at the Princess Penny dolls...

...then snuck in the back

of my truck...

...so I'd drive you to your

great-grandma's house in Edgemont.

You forgot we put chicken legs in a hat.

Oh, right.

I'm guessing your mom

doesn't know about this.

No. We're giving her a vacation.

She ought to be going nuts now...

...wondering where the hell

you two went.

Oh, yeah, the H-word.

-I'm sorry.

-Okay.

You ready to order?

I'll have peanut butter and jelly.

Peanut butter on top,

smooth, but not crunchy...
