Episode Quotes
Harry Jackson: My grandson lives in California. Seems like an awfully long way off sometimes. Wanna see his picture?
Boy: Sure. He's your grandson? Boy, he's old! (Harry glares) Uh, I mean, you don't look that old.
Harry Jackson: Well, I'll let you in on a little secret. I don't feel that old either.
