Grandpa和Robbie在看电视直播的感恩节游行。Robbie还在为错过了Alexandra的电话而闷闷不乐。Susan的电话使他空欢喜了一下，他的冷淡使Susan惊疑。Philip走进来了，他让大家尝一下Ellen做的火鸡填料。

Grandpa: I love parades. The Thanksgiving Day parade is always such great fun. Look at that Superman balloon! Wowee! Just floating along high above Central Park West. Don't you just love it? Oh, and the bands and the music. John Philip Sousa. I love his music. Da dada da da dada da da da da da da dada. Oh, look at that float, Robbie. Look at those funny-looking clowns.

Robbie: It's for kids.

Grandpa: Maybe so, but parades always make me feel like a kid. Remember when you and your dad and I went to the Thanksgiving Day parade? You were four or five years old, I think.

Robbie: Hello, hello…Oh, hi, Susan. How are you?…Here's Mom.

Ellen: Hello, Susan. Yes, he missed a phone call from Alexandra. Yes, I know, but he'll get over it. Good. Then you'll be here about five? Oh, fine. I look forward to seeing you and Harry and Michelle. Drive carefully. Good-bye.

3. Maybe so, but parades always make me feel like a kid.
