In the Stewarts' house one morning, Ellen and Marilyn are preparing breakfast in the kitchen.
Ellen:	[She takes the tea kettle off the stove.] Marilyn, you want coffee or tea?
Marilyn:	Coffee, please.
Ellen:	I am so excited! At this time tomorrow morning, Grandpa will be sitting in the kitchen with us.
Marilyn:	When does he arrive?
Ellen:	At six o'clock this evening.
Marilyn:	By plane?
Ellen:	No, by train.
Marilyn:	Are we picking him up at the station?
Ellen:	Not Grandpa. He doesn't want anybody picking him up. He likes to be independent.
Marilyn:	Huh.
Ellen:	Oh, let's go upstairs and prepare Grandpa's room.
Marilyn:	Great! Let's do it! [Ellen and Marilyn get up to leave. Richard and Robbie enter the kitchen.]
Richard:	Good morning, Mom.
Robbie:	Morning.
Ellen:	Well, hi, fellas.
Richard:	Hello.
Marilyn:	Hi, honey.
Richard & Robbie:	Morning, Marilyn.
Marilyn:	We're going upstairs to set up Grandpa's room. There's coffee ready. [Ellen and Marilyn go upstairs. Richard and Robbie begin to make breakfast.]
Robbie:	I'm really excited about seeing Grandpa.
Richard:	Me, too. [to Robbie] Milk, please.
Robbie:	He's so funny. He always makes me laugh. I hope Grandpa's going to like living with us.
Richard:	I think he will. It just takes time to feel comfortable in a new place.
Robbie:	Won't he miss being in Florida?
Richard:	Well, he will. But I think he'll like being here with the family.
Robbie:	Are you sure about that? It's crazy here most of the time.
Richard:	But it's fun.
Robbie:	That's for sure.
Richard:	You know, maybe I'll put together some photos of Grandpa as a "welcome" present.
Robbie:	That's a neat idea. What can I do? [He thinks.] I've got it! I have a picture of Grandpa and Dad and me in my wallet. It's from the Fathers and Sons' Breakfast at my junior high school graduation. [He takes out his wallet and shows the picture to Richard.]
Richard:	[He looks at the picture.] Oh, I remember this picture.
Robbie:	I'd really like to pick up Grandpa at the railroad station.
Richard:	Railroad stations or airports—Grandpa always tells he'll get here by himself.
Robbie:	He's something!
Upstairs in the Stewarts' home. Ellen and Marilyn are preparing Grandpa's room.
Marilyn:	[She points to the trunk.] Is this all Grandpa's stuff?
Ellen:	That's it. But I'm sure he has a few bags with him on the train.
Marilyn:	What's inside?
Ellen:	I don't know. It's locked.
Philip:	[He enters.] Hi.
Ellen:	Oh, hi, darling.
Marilyn:	Morning, Philip.
Philip:	I want to put some of my good hangers in Grandpa's closet. You know I'm very excited about his arrival.
Ellen:	We are, too. Susan called early this morning. She's unhappy because she's had to go to Chicago on a business trip and can't leave till tonight. She wants to be here for Grandpa.
Philip:	Well, Grandpa will be disappointed, too. He loves Susan. She always reminds him of Grandma. Well, how's everything here?
Marilyn:	Fine. We were just wondering about this trunk.
Ellen:	It's locked.
Philip:	Oh. [He takes a key from his pocket.] I have the key. Grandpa sent it to me. [He tries to put the key into the lock of the trunk.]
