I didn’t realize this scene was because the grandmother was covering her mouth due to her lack of dentures at 2am. She apparently wasn’t expecting her grandson and wasn’t ready.

Leo is also a bit of a hippie and presents a pumpkin to his girl friend who promptly dumps him.

Will the generational rift be mended? Only smoking a joint could answer that, it’s all stage acting but it was a pretty funny scene. Plenty of drama and humor in this movie. Salt Lake Acting Company succeeds in making you think.
