Легко баллотироваться в президенты

Нам нужно серьезно поговорить Дед, мы уже не можем заботиться о тебе так же хорошо, как прежде тебе нужно туда, где о тебе позаботятся должным образом у меня впереди еще куча времени ты легко можешь баллотироваться в президенты

В гостиной пожилой мужчина разговаривает с молодой парой, которая пытается объяснить ему, что больше не может заботиться о нём как прежде. Он уверенно возражает, что у него впереди ещё много времени, а затем ему предлагают баллотироваться в президенты — абсурдная шутка о возрасте, политике и поиске места, где о нём «позаботятся». Серьёзная музыка усиливает контраст между драматичным разговором и неожиданной репликой в финале. EN: In a living room, an elderly man talks with a young couple who try to explain that they can no longer care for him as well as before. He confidently argues that he still has plenty of time ahead, and they then suggest that he run for president—an absurd joke about age, politics, and finding somewhere that will “take proper care of him.” The serious music heightens the contrast between the dramatic conversation and the unexpected final line.

Grandpa, Grandpa! I think it's time that we had kind of a difficult conversation with you. You know how much we love you, right? Right. And I love you too. And we only want what's best for you. It's becoming more and more clear to us that we can't take care of you the way that you need to be taken care of. Well, you're talking like that. I'm fine. Of course you are. Be honest here. You're getting older and things happen. You get confused. You forget where you are. You fall down. You need to go someplace where they can take care of you. Where people your age go. I think it's time for you to run for USA. Do this to me! I still have a lot of good years left! Of course you do, Grandpa. But just think, you'll be with people your own age. You'll have staff that can take really good care of you. You know, they can whisper in your ear how to vote, you know? Just say hi. Hi. And you don't even have to serve out the full six-year term. I mean, in four years, you'll be 96. You could run for president.
