Elly: I brought some of your favorite grub, Dad. I'm gonna make shepherd's pie, chicken and biscuits, bread pudding and trifle! And despite your grouchiness, we're going to have fun. I brought you some good movies, April's term papers, Michael's new book, recent family photographs and herbs from my garden. I've brought you the newspaper, some music, some chocolate... and - you're smiling! Wow! I see a smile! Jim: Yes... you've brought me that too.
