Will Geer: The Grandfather

Quotes 

• The Grandfather : It's a pretty useful thing. Lightning always hits the highest spot, whether it's a tree or on a house. Runs down the pole, here along the eaves, down here, and hits the ground and explodes, just as harmless as a kitten.

  Esther Walton : Well it looks like it'd bring the lightning right down to our bedroom.

  The Grandfather : Wow! Be just like old times, wouldn't it hon?

• Esther Walton : The ladies of the Rockfish Historical Society are on the march!

  The Grandfather : Isn't that a withering thought?

• The Grandfather : I remember something else, too. Out there in the porch, you sort of reached up your arms you gave me a little peck.

  Esther Walton : You kissed me.

  The Grandfather : Oh, so I did.
