Polly Bergen: Grandma

Quotes 

• Carson Phillips : I wrote you a story, Grandma.

  Grandma : Oh, let's see. "Once upon a time there was a boy." Why! It could use a little development, but-but it's a great beginning.

• Grandma : He used to be such a happy boy. He used to write me stories. I remember the first story he ever wrote me. "Once upon a time there was a boy," and that became "Once upon a time there was a boy who wanted to fly," and it just got better and better over time. Now, I never did find out whether the boy got to fly.

• Carson Phillips : [talks emotionally]  Sometimes I just don't get it. Life. I mean, why do some of us have to work so hard for things we believe in and others don't? I mean, why do some of us care so much? Why are some of us selfish by nature and some of us are selfish to survive?

  Grandma : [knits]  Dear, I'm making this for my grandson.

  Carson Phillips : [whimpers]  What is it?

  Grandma : [hesitates]  A scarf-blanket.

  [is stirred and laughs] 

• Grandma : You remind me of my grandson.

  Carson Phillips : I do? Why is that?

  Grandma : You're sad-looking.

• Grandma : Sometimes someone's personal raincloud can be deadly.
