Farewell to Great Pop-Pop transcript

[Wireless Telephone Ringing]

Connor: "I'll get it."

Connor picks up the wireless telephone.

Connor (on the wireless telephone): "Hello?"

Lynn Loud Sr. (on the other wireless telephone): "Why hello there, Connor and Felicia, it's your Grandpa Lyndon, is your grandmother there?"

Connor (on the wireless telephone): "No, Grandpa Lyndon, Grandma Rita's gone out to work at the dental care center and we're about to leave for school, can we take a message, please?"

Lynn Loud Sr. (on the other wireless telephone): "Just tell your grandmother that your Great Pop-Pop doesn't have much longer left to live."

Connor and Felicia's hearts sink right into their chests, just as they stand there, not able to speak, their mouths gape wide open, while they're only in 6th grade, they weren't unpeculiar with somebody or something passing away and they know that their Great Pop-Pop's time might come, but they're not expecting it real soon.

Lynn Loud Sr. (on the other wireless telephone): "Connor? Felicia? are you still there?"

Connor (on the wireless telephone): "Uh.....yeah......Grandpa....Lyndon....we're....right....here."

Lynn Loud Sr. (on the other wireless telephone): "Did you get the message about your Great Pop-Pop?"

Connor (on the wireless telephone): "Yes, Grandpa Lyndon, we'll make sure to give the message to Grandma Rita when she gets back from work."

Lynn and Francisco walk right into the living room carrying Connor and Felicia's lunch bags. .

Connor (on the wireless telephone): "Well, we gotta go to school, bye, Grandpa Lyndon."

Connor hangs up the wireless telephone.

Lynn: "Connor, Felicia,"

Francisco: "who was that on the telephone?"

Connor: "That was Grandpa Lyndon, Mom and Dad,"

Felicia: "Great Pop-Pop's not doing too well,"

Connor: "and he might be on the verge of-[Sobbing In Fear] I can't even say it."

Felicia: [Sobbing In Fear Along With Connor] "I know that, Connor, I know that."

Lynn: "We understand that your Great Pop-Pop's super special to you,"

Francisco: "we'll tell you what,"

Lynn: "we'll speak to your grandmother,"

Francisco: "and right after school,"

Lynn: "we'll see to going and paying your Great Pop-Pop a visit,"

Francisco: "but of course, both of our cars are in the shop right after your mother got that flat tire yesterday,"

Lynn: "and mine having to go in for an oil change,"

Francisco: "so we'll need to take a taxi cab,"

Lynn: "but we'll see what we can do,"

Francisco: "now you 2 run along on your way to the bus stop,"

Lynn: "the school bus will be here shortly."

Connor: "Okay, Mom and Dad,"

Felicia: "thanks a bunch."

Connor and Felicia walk right outta the apartment and on their way to the bus stop and get right on the school bus and it drives around on the way to the Great Lakes City Middle School building.

The Great Lakes City Middle School outdoor lunchroom
Wilbur: "Are you alright, Connor and Felicia?"

Lila: "you look distracted than usual."

Connor: "No, Wilbur and Lila,"

Felicia: "it's our Great Pop-Pop,"

Connor: "he's in the hospital,"

Felicia: [Whispering] "we think he might be-"

Edwin: "Don't worry about it, Connor and Felicia,"

April: "he's in the hospital, right?"

Brian: "we're pretty sure he'll be just fine."

Felix: "Wasn't it super thrilling how the Action Troopers defeated the giant mud monster?"

Connor: "Oh yeah,"

Felicia: "it was super thrilling."

Just then, Connor and Felicia notices the taxi cab in the drive way.

Francisco: "Come on, Connor and Felicia,"

Lynn: "let's go!"

Connor: "Okay, Mom and Dad,"

Felicia: "we're coming right over there!"

Connor and Felicia approach the back doors of the taxi cab and they open them and put on their seat belts.

Connor: "So,"

Felicia: "where are we going?"

Francisco: "We're picking up your grandmother from the dental care center,"

Lynn: "and heading right up to the hospital where your Great Pop-Pop's being stationed,"

Francisco: "we received another telephone call from your grandmother this afternoon,"

Lynn: "and he doesn't have much time left to live,"

Francisco: "it'll be super good if he's still alive when we get there,"

Lynn: "neither 1 of our cars were prepared to be picked up from the mechanics,"

Francisco: "so we greed to take a taxi cab there so you can see your Great Pop-Pop and tell him goodbye."

The taxi cab stops right by the Varney-Rickles Memorial Bowling Alley and Larry sits right next to Julia in the other front seat.

Larry: "Thanks a bunch for taking good care of everything while I'm gone out, Carl!"

Carl: "No problem, Larry, good luck with everything!"

Larry closes the right front door and puts on his seat belt and they drive around on their way to Fisher-Reynolds Memorial Hospital.

Julia: "Okay, Bonnie, spell the word acrobat."

Bonnie: "A-C-R-O-B-A-T, acrobat."

Julia: "Correct, Bonnie, now spell the word alligator."

Bonnie: "A-L-L-I-G-A-T-O-R, alligator."

Julia: "Good, Bonnie, very good."

The taxi cab stops right by Fisher-Reynolds Memorial Hospital.

Taxi Cab Driver: "Okay, we're here."

Larry: "Thanks a bunch, kind sir."

The Anderson family members (with Brian) and Bonnie and Brian's cousin, Katie who's also visiting get right outta the taxi cab.

Bonnie's now a bit nervous due to being near hospitals at this time.

Katie: "Bonnie, what's the matter with you?"

Bonnie: "Well, Katie, it's just that I don't like hospitals that much, that's all."

Katie: "Don't worry about it, Bonnie, I'm pretty sure a nice smiling face from Grandpa Nathan will cheer you up a bit, it always does."

Inside Fisher-Reynolds Memorial Hospital
The Anderson family members (with Brian) and Katie walk right up to the receptionist's desk.

Julia: "We're here to pay my father in law a visit."

Receptionist: "He's upstairs in room 325, take the elevator to the 3rd floor and it'll be the 7th room on your right down the hallway."

Julia: "Thanks a bunch, ma'am."

The Anderson family members (with Brian) and Katie go right inside the elevator and go right up to the 3rd floor on their way to Grandpa Nathan's hospital room, but when they go right in there, they see Grandma Sadie hunched right over the hospital bed where Grandpa Nathan's lying right down in uncontrollable tear drops, she's real upset that she never even heard the entire family come right in there.

Larry: "Mom, Dad, we're all here."

Larry walks right up to Grandma Sadie who's suprised by her son's presence.

Grandma Sadie: "Larry, this isn't easy for me to tell you this, but your father's gone for good right now."

Bonnie, Brian, Larry, Julia and Katie look right at Grandpa Nathan's death bed.

Bonnie's now freaked out right after seeing her deceased grandfather right before her eyes.

Bonnie: [Close To Crying And Weeping] "No, it can't be happening, it can't."

Bonnie runs away right out in the hallway still sobbing her eyes out.

Julia: "Bonnie, wait, come back here!"

Julia races right outta Grandpa Jack's hospital room to catch up with her 5 year old daughter who just ran right into a cart that had ice cold water on it to be delivered to another hospital room in the entire building.

Bonnie's now soaked with ice cold water.

Julia: "Bonnie, are you alright?"

Nurse Erickson races right over to see what just happened.

Nurse Erickson: "What just happened here?"

Julia: "Oh thank goodness you're here, my 1st born daughter, a bit freaked out over the passing of her own grandfather, had a bit of an accident here."

Nurse Rosenthal: "Well let's get your daughter checked out then."

The nurses get the cart outta Bonnie's way and they check to see if she's still responsive.

Later on, Bonnie's now on her feet and they're now in the examining room where she's being checked out, but she's not injured after all.

Bonnie and Julia (with Brian) catch up with Larry, Katie and Grandma Sadie who are planning funeral arrangements.

Larry: "What just happened to Bonnie, Julia?"

Julia: "She's not injured, Larry, she just freaked out over the passing of her grandfather and just had a bit of an accident there."

The Anderson family members (with Brian) and Katie walk right outta the hospital building and drive around in the taxi cab back home to the A famiy's house.

Back home at the Anderson family's house/the dining room
Julia opens up cans of veggie noodle soup and microwaves them for their dinner meal while Brian's having strained carrots as usual, but none of them (especially not when Bonnie's depressed like this) are in the mood to eat almost anything in particular.

Bonnie: [Between Sobs And Weeps] "It's just not fair, 1st my Great Uncle Edgar left me, then my pet goldfish, Tippy and now Grandpa Nathan, why did he need to pass away?"

Larry: "Well, Bonnie, just like your Great Uncle Edgar, your Grandpa Nathan's in the skies of heaven looking right down on all of us as well, but I agree with you, why did he need to pass away?"

Bonnie: [Stops Crying And Weeping] "Can I be excused, please?"

Larry and Julia nod their heads silently in agreement.

Bonnie goes right into her bedroom now in her pajama clothes and sits right on her bed looking at photographs of her times with Grandma Sadie and Grandpa Nathan and she also looks at the birthday and Christmas cards and gifts she got from them over the past years.

Bonnie lies right down on her bed face down in silent tear drops without making 1 single sound.

Buzz: "Oh wow, I didn't realize that Bonnie's grandfather was super special to her in the past years."

Mr. Potato Head: "I sure hope this doesn't take too long."

The very next morning, Bonnie and Larry are looking right at the photo album that contained photographs of Grandma Sadie and Grandpa Jack from the past years.

[Wireless Telephone Ringing Again]

Larry answers the wireless telephone.

Larry (on the wireless telephone): "Hello? Mom?"

Grandma Sadie (on the other wireless telephone): "Larry, good thing you answered my telephone call, so when's the funeral service? do you want an open or closed casket ceremony?"

Larry (on the wireless telephone): "Saturday afternoon, Mom, and I don't know if I want it open or not."

Bonnie walks right into the kitchen to get a nice paper cup of ice cold pink raspberry lemonade.

Bonnie: "I sure hope I don't need to see Grandpa Nathan's deceased body again, that was terrifying."

Larry (on the wireless telephone): "Closed casket, please."

Back at Varney-Rickles-Stiers Memorial Elementary School/Bernice Johnson's classroom
Felix: "So, Bonnie,"

Kathy: "how's your grandfather doing?"

Bonnie sits right down at her seat right next to Mason, Felix and Kathy.

Bonnie (holding back her tear drops): [Whispering] "He passed away right before we even made it to visit him in the hospital."

Mason: "Oh wow, we're terribly sorry about that."

Bonnie: "Thanks a bunch, you guys."

Bernice agrees to let Bonnie take the following fun thrilled join the stars math quiz on Friday morning and lets her do her spelling test in the afternoon.

Bonnie: "I don't think you need to do that, Ms. Johnson."

Bernice: "Of course I do, you need to heal your emotions, I lost my Uncle Sherman last year, so I know how it really feels, you just hang in there, they'll get much better in the nick of time."

Bonnie: [Thinking] "At least I don't get to see his deceased body again."

Later that evening, everybody's now asleep in their separate bedrooms.

The very next morning at the breakfast table......

Julia: "Bonnie, did you sleep alright?"

Bonnie nods her head silently in agreement.

Larry: "Well we better get a move on 'cause they want us at the cathedral at 9:30 AM."

The Anderson family members (including Brian) finish their breakfast meals and put on their fancy outfits to get themselves prepared and head right out the door and drive around on their way to Stanton-Unkrich Cathedral.

Stanton-Unkrich Cathedral/Grandpa Nathan's closed casket funeral service
Reverend Albertson: "And now, Nathan's true family members would like to say a few words about his memories."

Grandma Sadie walks right up to the podium.

Grandma Sadie: "Nathan and I were like 2 little peas in a pod, we got super close together as always, I'll never forget about him."

Later on, Grandpa Nathan's closed casket's being buried at Cygan-Ermey-Guillaume Memorial Cemetery.

Bonnie: "Goodbye, Grandpa Nathan, I'll never forget about you."

Back home at the Anderson family's house
Bonnie: "Goodbye, Grandpa Nathan, you'll always be in our hearts and minds."

Bonnie walks right over to the living room where Larry and Julia are watching something on television.

Julia: "Bonnie, are you feeling so much better right now?"

Bunnie: "Yes, Mommy, Daddy's absolutely right, Grandpa Nathan's up in the skies of heaven watching over all of us just like Great Uncle Edgar is."

Larry: "Well, Bonnie, I'm so relieved you and I are feeling so much better right now."

Bonnie: "So am I, Daddy, and I'll always miss him more than anything, but I'll never forget about him."
