Scenes with Grandma Carlinda 8

[Napoleon enters the living room with zits on his forehead as Kip and Carlinda gasp at him]

What?

CGrandma Carlinda

Holy crap! What happened to your forehead?!

Kip hucked some chicken skin at me, and it gave me a butt load of zits. He's always disrespecting me 'cause he's jealous of my sweet body. [squashes a fly on his chest, killing it]

CGrandma Carlinda

[disgusted] Napoleon, your face is making me sick. Go into the bathroom and pop those things.

I already tried. They're not ready yet. [tries popping one on his forehead] See?

CGrandma Carlinda

You're not doing it right. Get over here. [smacks Kip in the back of his head]

Jeez!

[Napoleon sits down and Carlinda starts trying to pop the zits]

CGrandma Carlinda

[in unison] Hold still. Hold still!

[in unison] Ow, ow! Stop! It kills! Dang it!

CGrandma Carlinda

Well, the roots are too deep. They're digging into the skull.

I told you they weren't ready.

Try stabbing it with a blade.

CGrandma Carlinda

Good idea, Kipper. [takes out her knife as Kip uses a lighter, flaming the blade]

[runs out of the house in his underwear and bear slippers] You guys are idiots!

[Napoleon lays on a wooden table chugging a whole bottle of root beer]

[using a stethoscope to hear the rumbling and gurgling sounds in Napoleon's stomach] The root beer has reached the cabbage. I think we're a go.

Initiating pepper cloud. [sprays a pepper cloud on Napoleon's face]

Any last words, Napoleon?

Pedro, if I die, have a hawk sprinkle on my ashes in Bear Lake.

As you wish.

Snee-furp in 3, 2, and 1.

[Napoleon groans and grunts as his stomach rumbles and passes wind, launching himself into the sky]

CGrandma Carlinda

[coming out of the house] Have you boys seen my cabbage? Oh, there it is! [takes a bite of the cabbage] What you idiots looking at? [looks up, seeing Napoleon about to fall on her]

[falling from the sky] Get out of the way! Get out of the way! [lands on her, breaking the picnic table]

CGrandma Carlinda

[grunting] Get off of me! [coughs] Oh.

[gets up] Sorry I didn't explode, guys. I totally forgot to yawn.

Are you okay, Grandma?

CGrandma Carlinda

No, I'm not okay! Your dingbat brother just broke my transition lenses!

Boy, you really done it now. A good pair of photo-grays will set you back $28. And that's without the croakies!

$28?! I'll never have that kind of money!

Now, Carlinda, I keep telling you, these nephews of mine need to get a job! [Carlinda annoyingly smacks him in the back of his head] Ow!

CGrandma Carlinda

Don't tell me how to raise my boys! Napoleon, you're getting a job to pay for these.

What about Kip?

CGrandma Carlinda

Kip's too frail for today's modern workplace. Besides, he's gonna be my eyes. I can't see a thing.

[Her POV shows her vision all blurry]

Why can't I be your eyes?

Because I'm way better describing stuff. Like how I always say, a baby's hand looks like a starfish.

Whoa. That is dead-on accurate, Kipper.

[putting on his racing suit] Check it out, Napoleon. It's aerodynamic and snug in all the right places.

[disgusted] Gross! You look like a garbage bag full of chicken wings.

I also got science on my side. This bracelet has a magnet in it. I bought it from a SkyMall catalog I found at the site of a plane crash.

CGrandma Carlinda

You can wear all the magic crap you want. This is my race, Rico! That's why I'm in the Preston Garden of Fame.

Yeah, next to Preston's first monogamist couple.

CGrandma Carlinda

And the astronaut whose car broke down here.

Wow. That got that up quick.

NDNapkin Dispenser

Tell her!

You can't talk, I'm awake.

NDNapkin Dispenser

You're daydreaming. Now snap out of it and tell her!

Grandma, I can't take it anymore! Rico and I cheated! You should've won that race!

CGrandma Carlinda

What are you saying?

I'm saying, Rico and I cheated. You should've won that race!

CGrandma Carlinda

I knew I wasn't an old lady. To the Garden of Fame!

How are we gonna get there? You gave your car to the Lord.

CGrandma Carlinda

I know something faster than a car.

Oh, man, I wouldn't want to be whoever she's mad at.

CGrandma Carlinda

[fiercely] Rico!

[gasps; nervously] Now, Carlinda, I can explain.

CGrandma Carlinda

Get your head in here.

[sadly obliges] Yes, ma'am. [puts his head under her arm]

CGrandma Carlinda

I believe you have something to tell my fans. [lowers down the microphone to him]

[talks into the microphone; to the crowd] After giving it much thought, I've decided I can no longer go on with this charade. I cheated in the Bed Race.

[The townspeople gasp in complete shock]

MOMayor Odell

Rico, give back your key to the city.

[Rico takes out his keychain from his pocket and struggles to get the city key out and sadly hands it over]

Carlinda, if there's any way I can ever make up for my despicable, yet clever behavior…

CGrandma Carlinda

You can help me un-donate me car. Kip, you got my bolt cutters?

You know it, G.

CGrandma Carlinda

To the convent!

[They drive off in Rico's van as the sun sets]

All right, what's the plan?

Okay, I'll distract Jesus and you guys steal the car.

[unsure] I'm not comfortable stealing from Señor Jesus.

Sorry, Pedro. You're up your pretty little neck in this.

Oy.

[Rico's van parks in front of a family's house dining room window]

CGrandma Carlinda

Rico, what are you doing?! I wanna watch TV!

When you live in a van, the whole world is your personal television set.

CGrandma Carlinda

I do love my trashy family dramas.

Well, enjoy the latest episode of "329 Oneida Street." [turns on the radio for background music as the family eat dinner at the table from inside the house] Okay, let me get you caught up. Last week, that girl there, she crashed her daddy's Miata into a Cheesecake Factory.

That's not good.

And the mama thinks her husband's cheating on her, but he's just being secretive 'cause he's planning her birthday party. Oh, also, he's cheating on her.

CGrandma Carlinda

[as the father sees them and gets up from the table, walking to the front door] This is my kind of show.

FFather

[angrily exits the house and walks to the van] Hey! You in the van!

Uh-oh. Uh, I'll be back after this short break.

FFather

I told you to take your peeping eyes elsewhere! [mistakenly grabs Kip by the shirt collar, pulls him out of the van, and starts beating him up]

[getting beaten up as Carlinda watches while cringing] My blouse! Ouch! Jeez!

Hey, Uncle Rico, it still smells kinda poison-y in the house. Would it be okay if we stay one more night?

[smiles in agreement] Okay, Napoleon. Last week, the father got arrested for beating up a Peeping Tom, who in a hilarious twist turned out to be Kip!

That daughter's pretty hot.

CGrandma Carlinda

Not for long if she keeps eating meatloaf like that!

Rude.
