MeandMarj: Stop coughing and go to bed!

Grandmother: Stop coughing and go to bed!
Alison: I am going to bed, but I don't think that will stop my coughing. I bought some NyQuil.
Grandmother: Well, good.
Alison: Ugh, it tastes awful!
Grandmother: Well, there's nothing I can do about that. Ask the doctor to whip something up that tastes good, and make millions!

MeandMarj: Your thing was blinking!

Grandmother: That thing was blinking and all the lights were going off - I didn't know what to do!
Alison: I'm sure its fine. Do you want me to teach you how to use it?
Grandmother: What for? What good would that do?

MeandMarj: I miss all my critters!

Grandmother: I miss all my critters!
Alison: Hahaha, really?
Grandmother: Yes! Don't you? I miss pussy cat.
Alison: Cat?
Grandmother: I mean the rabbit, Beatrice.

MeandMarj: John Paul Jones is dreamy!

Grandmother: Isn't John Paul Jones handsome?

Grandmother: I don't know.
Alison: What about your friend, Alma Swam? Didn't she live there?
Grandmother: Oh, Alma Swam. That's a good story how we met...we were living in Paris and went to Amsterdam to the flower auction...
Grandmother continues: ...and they were sitting right behind us and realized we were Americans and we started talking. Later that night we went to the restaurant that everyone is supposed to go to when you are in Amsterdam and in they walked. It was meant to be! We became fast friends and visited them in Ochos Rios.
Alison: Wait, where were they?
Grandmother: Jamaica.
