Head Full of Honey

My doctor, Dr. Edwards,

Told me everything I know

about Grandpa's illness.

Grandpa has Alzheimer's.

People with Alzheimer's

forget a lot of stuff.

I forget to do my homework,

or brush my teeth,

I mean,

- but with my grandpa, - it's different.

- Pretty much everything. - He forgets

- To put him in a home, - My parents want

But that's just gonna

make things worse.

On a trip to Venice

to make him better.

So, I'm taking him.

- He remembers loads. - About Venice,

- It's been like 100 years. - Even though

- Went on their honeymoon there. - Since he and Grandma

Hi, Mom. Hi, Dad.

- Having a great time. - Me and Grandpa are

And I brought my inhaler,

so don't freak out.

On the train, actually,

We're having breakfast

right now.

- Wanna say something? - Grandpa, do you

- -Mom and Dad. - -Who to?

Hello?

We're having a great time.

No one's there.

Poop on them.

Yeah. Poop on them.

See you tomorrow.

Or maybe the day after.

- -Love you. - -Bye!

Bye!

Where are you going?

To the john.

Okay.

- (INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENTS. - OVER PA)

Oh, shit! Grandpa!

Grandpa!

My Grandpa Amadeus and me.

That's us.

I think I get why Grandpa

is the way he is.

Whole life thinking about.

Mom and Dad spend their

what might happen

to the new house, to me,

at work,

and over the past.

Or going over

what's going on right now.

But sometimes it's just

best to focus on

when Grandma died.

It all started.

Margaret was certainly

women in our little community.

One of the most glamorous.

Do you think they're

going to burn her?

Who?

Your grandma, silly.

Are you mad? No way.

Okay, then she'll just

get eaten up by worms.

My grandma's in a coffin.

They can chew through coffins.

Sharp little worm teeth.

Yeah.

Can we change the subject?

Did you make new friends?

What's England like?

Not really.

Did you meet the queen?

Yes, I did.

She said to say hi.

A huge hole in our hearts.

Margaret's passing

leaves us all with.

But as long as a person

lives in our memories,

She is never forgotten.

She's never forgotten.

- Amadeus will now. - Say a few words.

Thank you.

My Maggie

was just wonderful.

She had the biggest heart

and breasts.

Big, beautiful breasts.

At my stupid joy, jokes.

She always laughed.

Right up to the end.

What bees make milk?

Boobies.

And I always ate that

apple pie of hers.

You know, the one with

and the squirty cream.

The cinnamon crust.

She hadn't made that in years.

I know that.

Actually,

I was never crazy

about that pie.

But I always ate it

when she made it.

Are just creatures.

Because people.

Creatures of habit.

Something different.

I would've loved.

Fruit cake, perhaps?

No, no, no.

I don't like fruit cake.

Pecan pie, maybe?

- Or, what are they called... - You know, uh...

Cream puffs.

They make the best cream puffs

down at...

The intersection there...

It's a new house...

Where the...

They thingamajigged

the house...

They squeezed it in...

I don't...

Oh, stuff it up your ass.

They...

Stuff it up your ass.

But I'd love a slice

of that pie now.

My darling Elizabeth.

Elizabeth?

It's his mother.

Nick,

you'll find a woman

one day I hope

your mother was for me.

That's as wonderful as.

What am I gonna

do without you?

Arrivederci, my love.

Arrivederci.

Arrivederci.

Grandma.

After the funeral,

and live with us in England.

If he wanted to come.

Dad asked Grandpa.

But Grandpa didn't want to.

He said he couldn't leave.

Grandma all alone.

- So, we went back to England. - Without Grandpa.

But three months later,

Grandpa called

he couldn't remember the way

to the cemetery anymore.

And told Dad that.

Tildy!

My little principessa!

I'll take that.

I've seen this guy before.

Come on in.

Here. Have a seat right here.

Okay. Okay.

- -Would you like a cookie? - -Sure.

Did you take the bus?

- In England now, remember? - No, Grandpa, we live

Oh, I know that!

I know that.

Um, Grandpa...

Mmm-hmm?

- Milk in your bookshelves? - Why do you have

- In the dishwasher. - No more room

Margaret! Maggie!

Your son is here!

Dad.

Mom's... Mom's not here.

I know that.

Of course.

It's habit.

You looking for something?

Where's Roberta?

- -Your housekeeper. - -Roberta?

I fired her.

You fired her?

Why'd you do that?

She was stealing from me.

What did she take?

Your sister's jewelry.

Dad, I don't have a sister.

- Wanted one, didn't you? - But you always
