Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Look what my dad just gave me.

Please tell me that's not your mom.

No, no. She picked out her own urn.

My dad keeps saying it's a size too small, but she squeezed into it.

No, this is stuff she left for the kids.

Can I open it?

Wow. There's a note for you.

- I can't read it. Would you? - Okay.

All right.

"Dear Phil, you've always been the most wonderful son.

And now I need you to do one last thing for me."

Oh, no. She's gonna ask me to throw her ashes in the Pope's face.

"Don't say anything to your father because he'll just resist.

But there's a woman named Annie Fitzsimmons who lives a few streets over.

We don't know her very well, but I've always admired her,

and I think she'd be perfect for your dad.

So before you go home, I want you to fix him up with her."

That is crazy.

"I know this sounds crazy, but single men are in short supply here,

and a lot of scheming harpies will swoop in before your father knows what hit him.

I love Frank, but he'll follow anything with a casserole."

I don't believe this. It's too soon!

And my dad's not a cartoon bear.

He's perfectly capable of making intelligent decisions.

Hey, guys, I made cookies.

Oh, good. I thought that was the neighbor.

Hey, kids.

Your grandma left each of you something

Cool! Rockports.

It's just the box.

Oh my God! There's a letter.

I don't know if I'm ready for this. Although, if grandma wrote it, she must have sensed I was ready.

Because you had such a bond?

You felt it, too?

Haley, why don't you tell us what yours says?

Well, it's so sweet. It's about how beautiful I am inside and... score jewelry!

Whoa! Check it out.

Look at that. Your grandma loved pocket watches.

She said they made a man look dignified.

Is this chain in case you swallow it?

No, but suddenly I'm glad it's there.

A lighter.

What does the note say?

"This is a lighter."

I don't understand.

How much clearer could she have been?

I wouldn't read too much into it.

Your grandma loved you very much. She just did a couple of bizarre things towards the end.

Here, Alex, I can help you out with that.

You are getting very sleepy.

A crappy old lighter is not a sucky gift.

Honey, honey, hey, hey.

So you're not gonna do what your mom asked?

Marry off my dad to a complete stranger on the day of her funeral?

I think not.

It was her last wish.

When my dad is ready, he gets to pick his own girlfriend.

That's the big upside to your wife dying.

Also not having to think before you speak.

Yeah.

Grandma looks so happy here.

Yeah. We were pretty hammered.

That was last 4th of July. Grandma's favorite holiday.

The Plimptons had a barbecue, and Gram and I got a little tipsy on ginger margaritas.

We came home for a catnap and slept right through the big fireworks show.

First one she ever missed.

Boy, was she mad.

I made it up to her with a little fireworks show of our own later.

Grandpa!

A couple of glow sticks and a slingshot in the backyard.

Which led to some pretty memorable lovemaking.

Not to change the subject, but I don't really get the gift Grandma left me.

Well, didn't she explain it in the note?

No. The note's four words.

You know it opens, right?

It does?

Sure. Look, it's Florida. Everything sticks together.
