Are we picking him up at the station?

That's for sure.

Hello.

No, by train.

Great! Let's do it!

But it's fun.

Hi, honey.

Won't he miss being in Florida?

By plane?

We are going upstairs to set up Grandpa's room.

It's crazy here most of the time.

Good morning, Mom.

But I think he'll like being here with the family.

Well, hi, fellas.

It just takes time to feel comfortable in a new place.

Not Grandpa. He doesn't want anybody picking him up. He likes to be independent.

Morning, Marilyn.

When does he arrive?

At six o'clock this evening.

There's coffee ready.

Huh.

I think he will.

You know, maybe I'll put together some photos of Grandpa as a "welcome" present.

Are you sure about that?

I am so excited!

Well, he will.

He's so funny. He always makes me laugh.

At this time tomorrow morning, Grandpa will be sitting in the kitchen with us.

Marilyn, you want coffee or tea?

I'm really excited about seeing Grandpa.

Oh, let's go upstairs and prepare Grandpa's room.

I hope Grandpa's going to like living with us.

Coffee, please.

Morning.

Me, too. Milk, please.

Well, Grandpa will be disappointed, too.

I don't know. It's locked.

Oh, I remember this picture.

What's inside?

I'd really like to pick up Grandpa at the railroad station.

I have a picture of Grandpa and Dad and me in my wallet.

I want to put some of my good hangers in Grandpa's closet.

She wants to be here for Grandpa.

He's something!

You know I'm very excited about his arrival.

She always reminds him of Grandma.

I've got it!

Oh, hi, darling.

That's a neat idea. What can I do?

It's from the Fathers and Sons' Breakfast at my junior high school graduation.

Hi.

Well, how's everything here?

That's it.

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.

Fine. We were just wondering about this trunk.

Railroad stations or airports -- Grandpa always tells us he'll get here by himself.

We are, too.

Is this all Grandpa's stuff?

Morning, Philip.

But I'm sure he has a few bags with him on the train.

He loves Susan.

A man next to me was smoking, and smoke really bothers me.

Oh. I have the key. Grandpa sent it to me.

My house is only a few miles from Spaceport.

Oh, let me help you with this.

Do you want to sit by the window?

No, no. I just changed my seat.

No, no, no. I like the aisle seat better.

Oh yes, yes. My husband's there now.

Small world. I'm from Titusville, too.

Titusville. It's near Orlando.

Please, you sit by the window.

Do you still live there?

Oh, thank you.

No. I sold the house and the furniture, put a few personal things in an old trunk, and shipped it to my children in New York.

I am, too. But didn't you just get on?

Do you live in New York?

No, it's not taken.

It's locked.

Really? What part?

Pleased to meet you.

No, no. I'm from Florida.

Where are you from in Florida?

My name is Stewart… Malcolm Stewart.

Do you still live there?

Excuse me. Is this seat taken?

Oh, thank you.

I'm Elsa Tobin. How do you do?

He couldn't take time off to come to New York with me.

I know that area.

My husband and I live near Spaceport.

What do you do?

He started with them almost forty years ago.

Are you married?

Do you have family in New York?

I was in the smoking section.

Excuse me, ma'am. Ticket, please.

It's OK, lady. Take your time.

I'm sure it's in your purse, Mrs. Tobin.

I'm sorry. Really, I'm sorry.

Oh, here it is.

My wife died four years ago.

We like to go to the theater together.

I have a ticket, I know.

And here are your keys.

A construction company. Roads, bridges, big stuff.

No, no. But I do have very close friends in New York City.

That's my destination.

But I just sold it and retired.

Oh, congratulations! That's nice.

She was a wonderful woman. A real friend.

What does John do?

一家营造公司.修路,桥,都是大工程.

Well, forty-seven, to be exact.

John and I celebrate our fortieth anniversary next month.

I just retired. Had my own company.

He's an aerospace engineer and works for Orlando Aircraft Corporation.

Thank you.

We were married almost fifty years.

Would you kindly hold these keys, please?

Lots of wonderful memories.

And have a good stay in the Big Apple.

Dr. Philip Stewart, in Riverdale.

but it's too early to know for sure.

I tried to teach my kids the importance of independence,

Are you going to live with them?

You said you have family in New York.

Well, here we are.

Your son?

We're in the phone book.

I'm pretty independent.

I understand. But tell me. Why did you stop working?

Yes, indeed.

You must be excited.

Well… they want me to,

but I'm not sure I want to be alone.

Amtrak is happy to announce our arrival in New York City.

The train will be stopping in five minutes.

That's right. And have a good time in New York.

Permanently?

It was so nice meeting you, Mr. Stewart.

And nice meeting you, too, Mrs. Tobin.

A son and his wife and their three children -- my grandchildren.

I didn't want to be alone anymore!

Some people don't mind being alone. I do.

Please look us up.

Please check to be sure you have your belongings.

I can't wait, to see them!

Yes.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Thank you.

I retired because… I wanted to be with my family.

I started traveling twenty-four hours ago.

I'm not so young anymore.

I can't wait to see her.

Oh, I'm sorry Susan isn't here.

Good idea.

I miss her very much.

From me and Marilyn.

After a good night's sleep, I'll enjoy breakfast even more.

Richard, these are terrific pictures.

And this one's from me.

I looked all over the house to find it.

Ellen and I'll take you to your room.

Let's give him our presents -- now.

Presents -- for me?

Well, come on, Dad.

Don't you want something to eat?

That's a great idea, Grandpa!

Robbie, we'll go fishing soon, and we'll take your dad with us.

She called to say the plane was delayed.

And don't be so independent.

You're very lucky to have a caring family.

I'd better unpack.

This one really brings back memories.

I'm ready, Grandpa. You name the day.

No, thanks.

You know airports.

Philip needs a day off.

She feels bad, too, Grandpa.

When can we go fishing?

I sure do. It was fun.

You remember that day, Robbie?

She looks just like Grandma at that age.

I have the key, but it doesn't work.

Oh, you look so beautiful, Susan. My granddaughter.

I'm sure glad you're here, Grandpa.

I think you're going to be very happy here with us.

I sent the wrong key.

Lots of interesting information about our family.

I researched it for over a year.

Why, I didn't know that your grandfather was born in Germany.

Good night, Grandpa.

It's our family tree.

I don't feel alone anymore.

Pleasant dreams.

Oh, Grandpa, I'm so happy to see you!

A gift from me.

Like I always said, you look just like Grandma.

I think you'll enjoy it.

Grandpa! Grandpa!

Philip, do you have the key to the trunk?

Fabulous!

Thank you so much.

Oh, Grandpa! How exciting!

I have something for you. I made it myself.

I know you will.
