Granddad: ...No, I never was good at shopping - I can't stand it. Woman: Oh I love it. It's all I do. It gets me out and about, it's good exercise... Granddad: Well, if you wouldn't mind, maybe you could do my grocery shopping for me...I mean...I'd be happy to pay - Woman: Oh you poor man. Why didn't you tell me you didn't have any food? Please, keep what's in my bag. Granddad: No, I don't think you - Woman: I insist. I know colored folks have a hard time. Better this than Welfare, or robbing a liquor store. Granddad: - understand. Woman: I'll bring you more food next week! Keep hope alive!
