Insert 4 CONFI HAS HIT THE JACKPORT. Grandma:Is that how you speak to your own mother these days?You have changed.The world has changed you. Father:People change all the time.Situations change people. Grandma:What situations chould that be? Father:My father has died,but nobody bothered to tell me. Grandma:Are you that desperate?You should be ashamed of yourself. Father:How do you mean?Desperate for what? Grandma:Desperate for money,insurance money! Father:What do you mean,Mother?I never said anything about money.I... Grandma:Well,you didnt have to.I am sorry to disappoint you.Your father is very much alive,alive and... Father:But Confi has just told me that he is dead. Grandma:Oh,now I get it.That evil wife of yours desperatley wants my husband to die.I am sure wherever she is,she is praying for his death. Father:{Lowering his voice in embarrassment.}I am very sorry,Mother.Its not my fault,I was misled by Confi. Mother:Of course,its always not your fault.Next time you should get your facts straight before throwing your insults at people. Father:I said Im sorry,Im sorry I was rude to you.How is he? Grandma:As if you care! Father:Of course,I care:Are you going to use that mistake against me?People make mistakes all the time. Grandma:Some people make many mistakes than others,and some mistakes are sillier than others. Father:What is this all about?It sounds like you are angry with me,very angry!And dont tell me its about the silly mistake. Grandma:I am not angry with you,I am furious with you. Father:I knew it.Whats wrong? Grandma:When last did you send us some money? There was silence. Father:So it is about money? Grandma:This is not about money,and you know it.When last did you call to ask about your fathers state of health? Father:Mother,please lets not fight.We have to unite for my fathers sake. Mother:Why should we unite now?You have abandoned us! Grandma was very furious.Deep down inside she knew that it was not at all about my father.She knew my fathers situation very well and she clearly understood it.It was fear,she was very scared.She was scared she was going to lose her childhood sweetheart,she was too scared of losing the father of her children,she was too scared of losing the the grandfather of her grandchildren and she was too of death.She never liked speaking about deaths,funerals and attending funerals.It amazed me,even the very old are afraid of death. Father:You know very well that its not true.You need to take him to the hospital.How serious is it? She sobbed before answering her son. Grandma:I dont know how to say it. Father:Please,Mother,just say it. Grandma:He refuses to go to the hospital.You know that he detests hospitals.He says people go to hospitals just to die. He is getting weaker and weaker by the day.I am worried about him.I have had enough with his endless goodbyes. Father:We need to get him to the hospital by force. Grandma:I will not do such a thing.I cant force him to do something he does not want.He is a dying man,Muriel.We should respect and honour his wishes. Father:I am coming back.I will persuade him. Grandmother:When? Father:Tommorow! It was getting late and I really needed to get home. Me:Grandpa,its getting late.I really have to go.I will come a visit you again tommorow. Grandpa:Please,dont go, Helgah.There is something I need to tell you. Me:What do you want to tell me,Grandpa.You are scaring me again. Grandpa:Dont be scared!You have been asking us about your father and mother.I think you deserve to know the truth.I am going to tell you everything there is to know. Me:No,Grandpa should just rest. Deep down inside I knew that I desperatley wanted to know.The true words were those unspoken.The spoken words were just a lie.Of course I could lie to Grandpa,but not to my own heart. Grandma and Fathers conversation was disrupted by Ms.Confis grand entry.She was dressed to the nines as if she was going to a party.Her squeaky shoes greeted Grandma on her behalf before she could do it herself. Mother:{Tears tickling down her cheeks.}Mother,I know that you will not believe me,but I really loved your husband.I really loved Grandpa.Its such a pity that he had to die. She broke down and cried. Grandma:What do you want from us?I thought you said you would never ever come here again! Mother:Stop living in the past,Mother.We have to unite and arrange Grandpas funeral.Dont you want him to have a dignified funeral?Grandpa... Grandma:Stop it, you witch!Get the hell out of here!I never ever want to see you again!You are the most evil and ruthless person I have ever met!My husband is on his deathbed and you are already spreading rumours that he is dead!Well,he is not dead.Are you here to finish him off? Mother:{Shocked}Oh,he is not dead?But I have been praying for his de...recovery! As soon Grandpa answered the call,I came out running,shouting at the top of my voice. Me:Grandma,I think he is...dead! Mother:Yes,JACKPORT!Sorry,I mean...
