with that old fart
to go out with me.
She's got issues, man.
This calls for action.
About time.
If she wants a player,
she's gonna get one.
I'm gonna play her
like a two-bit fiddle.
A what?
By next week,
she'll be mine.
She won't even know
what hit her.
Spoken like
a true player.
A player.
Ha!
I'll show her a player.
Oh, Joe, you came!
Oh!
For a beautiful lady.
Oh, thank you.
Aww.
Just wonderful.
Who knew that there
was a winery
an hour outside of the city?
I thought you had to go
to Napa to get good wine.
You do, but if you want
extraordinarily average wine,
you come here.
Thanks for inviting me.
I'm sorry Amanda
couldn't come.
enough wine for her,
didn't I?
Oh, and don't think
I didn't see all those
candles in the trunk.
Planning a big night,
are we?
Actually,
we're having some issues.
What's wrong?
Oh, damn it!
- What?
- We're out of gas.
Oh, no.
And... that's that.
Oh, God, now what
are we gonna do?
Um, Edna?
I have something
I have to tell you.
Let me freshen
your glass first.
Edna, I don't know
how to say this,
but...
I'm not as young
as I used to be.
Really, Joe?
You look pretty
spry to me.
No... no.
I mean,
I'm an older man now
than I used to be,
and sometimes
things don't work
like they used to.
Well, Joe, I don't...
I don't understand
what you're trying to say.
Edna, I have to
know something.
Are you trying to
seduce me?
Why, yes, Joe.
I am.
Well, that's just grand.
But I have to
tell you,
it might be hard
for me to satisfy you
if you've raised your
expectations.
Well, Joe...
why don't you let me
worry about
what's going to be hard
and what's going to be
raised, hmm?
stranded for three hours
waiting for
roadside assistance,
this is the place to do it.
Thank you.
One down, four to go.
Whoops... ahh!
I'm sorry.
Are you okay?
Are you okay?
I'll be out in just
a moment, Joe.
Oh, Joe?
What do you think?
Wow.
How do you feel?
Me?
Oh, I feel fine.
I admit, I'm a little
nervous, but I...
Um, Joe?
Yeah?
Did I drop something?
It's alive!
It's alive!
Oh, it's a miracle!
Hallelujah!
Praise the Lord!
Quick.
Quick, before it's gone!
How's your toe?
Oh, I think I'll live.
This frigid temperature is
keeping the swelling down.
Hey, maybe if the dashboard
catches on fire,
it'll heat
things up in here.
Are you cold?
I can barely
feel my fingers.
Come here.
Ooh, that feels good.
You call for a jump?
Oh, sorry, bro.
It looks like somebody
already got jumped,huh?
Yeah, uh... no.
We... we ran
out of gas.
Are you sure?
It says right here
that you need a jump.
Nope, gas.
I didn't bring my gas can,
so I'll have to tow you.
Gonna take about a second
to hook you up, all right?
What?
Oh, my.
I don't have
any protection.
Protection?
Protection from what?
You know, birth control.
I don't think
that'll be an issue.
Oh, you're on
the pill?
Good thinking.
It's like that little battery
bunny, it's still going.
Oh, David, stop!
That tickles.
Stop, that tickles.
Oh, oh, oh.
Ooh, oh, oh,
ooh, ooh.
Edna, Edna, where...
where... where...
Edna, where are you...
Where...
Edna, look out,
look out.
You're getting close!
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, God!
Oh, God!
- Oh, God!
- Oh, God!
- Oh, God!
- Oh, God!
Wow.
Bring her right this way,
hold the elevator.
Oh, Edna, I'm sorry.
So sorry.
I'm an awful man.
Oh, no,
you're a wonderful man.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be
lying here like this.
Joe, what happened
to Edna?
Uh...
Grandpa, I got your message,
are you all right?
What's going on?
It's not me, it's Edna.
She's fine, just a little
shortness of breath.
Nothing serious.
What happened?
What happened?
I'll tell you
what happened.
That angel of a woman
slipped me a Mickey.
Have you ever heard
of a black-market drug
called Viagra?
Oh, please, tell me you...
see? - No, please, just stop.
I couldn't have
stopped if I tried.
I kept going
and going
and going and going.
Actually, I think
Whoo-ee, those pills
are sick!
They're what?
David,
you may not know it,
but your grandfather
is a sex machine.
A real "chick maggot".
Mag... magnet.
Grandpa, chick magnet.
more sense, wouldn't it?
David, have you ever heard
something called a...
- She put her mouth on... - Oh,
yeah, no, no, I know what it is.
Your grandmother sure as hell
never did that to me.
My goodness, I felt
like a damn Popsicle.
She even took her
dentures out.
And after that,
we did the wild thing.
The what?
It was just like
riding a bike.
Well, not just
like riding a bike.
David, I don't know if
I ever told you this,
but your grandmother
is the only woman
I ever had
sexual relations with.
And after last night,
I realized,
bless her soul,
she didn't have
a clue in the bedroom.
But that Edna, she's a real
professional.
Whoo-ee!
All right, Grandpa,
enough, all right?
What's with Edna?
Oh, she's fine.
Her... her daughter's with
her in her room there,
talking with
the retirement-home director.
That's her daughter?
what caused all this?
Oh, I don't
think he'd do that.
He what?!
What kind of dirty old men do
you let into that place?
Or maybe he would.
I assure you
that we only have
the highest of standards...
As soon as she's ready,
I want my mother out of that
brothel you're running
and on a plane to my home
where I can take care
of her myself.
- Sweetie...
- Do you understand?
Let's not overreact here.
Mother, enough!
Discussion over!
And in the meantime,
you make sure
that lecherous,
disgusting old man
stays the hell away
from my mother!
Just let me explain.
This kind of thing doesn't
happen at our facility.
Don't go, please.
I'm sorry, Joe.
She's my daughter.
If she wants me to move,
I have to go.
But I love you, Edna.
Whoa there, Joe.
Let's not move
too quickly here.
But last night...
I'll always, always
remember last night
and I will cherish it
forever.
But, y'know, people our age,
we... we have to live every
second to the fullest.
It doesn't make any
sense for either one of us
to be tied down to
just one person.
Trust me.
You don't know it yet,
but you're like
a wild stallion
and you must run free.
Oh, I'm so sorry,
Grandpa.
I feel like I just met her
and it's over already.
She was such
a sweet woman.
Just being with her,
I wasn't so lonely.
And even when
I wasn't with her,
knowing I was gonna see
her again soon,
knowing somebody
somebody cared for me,
made it easier
to get through the day.
I can't do this again,
David.
I can't take the pain.
It hurts too much, and it
doesn't get any easier.
I know it's hard
right now.
But don't worry, Grandpa.
There's another companion
out there for you.
