3 scenes Grandma 
[after breaking the lock on Gary's bedroom door and searching it, Helen finds some sex tapes and plays one]
Helen? Oh, the door was unlocked...[sees the sex action on the television]
Grandma What channel is this?
No Gran, this is a tape.
Grandma [to Susan]
She needs a man now!
Gran, this isn't mine. I don't watch this!
Grandma [later] [to Susan again as they are leaving the room and speaking of the sex action on the television]
One of those men reminded me of your Grandpa. God bless him!
Grandma You know, when I was nineteen, Grandpa took me on a roller coaster.
Gil
Oh?
Grandma Up, down, up, down. Oh, what a ride!
Gil
What a great story.
Grandma I always wanted to go again. You know, it was just so interesting to me that a ride could make me so frightened, so scared, so sick, so excited, and so thrilled all together! Some didn't like it. They went on the merry-go-round. That just goes around. Nothing. I like the roller coaster. You get more out of it.
