Sue:[overexcited] She’s gonna walk in here and thinkthat nobody’s here! I don’t know what’s she gonna dowhen she sees the balloons! And we’re hidden! And she’s surprised!
Guest 1: That’s how a surprise party works.
Sue: Oh, I know how they work!
Grandpa: That’s the idea. I thought I’d take her tothe park. Tell her we’re coming here for pizza. Now,you should all park far away so she doesn’t see thecars and get suspicious. Sue, what are writing?
[Sue writes furiously on a notepad]
Sue: All of it! Everything that you’re saying!Everything that’s happening!
[Guest 2 takes the notepad from Sue and shows it.]
Guest 2: It’s scribbles. It’s nothing. You act like itsthe first time you’ve ever thrown a surprise party.
Grandpa: Leave her alone. Sue, I love that you’reexcited about this. I am too. I just show it differently.
Guest 1: Oh, my friend owns a bakery. I can swing bytonight and pick up a cake.
[Sue rocks back and forth, out of breath]
Sue: I’m sorry. I feel like I’m gonna pass out. Couldsomeone get me something to eat? Some solid food. I’m so freakin’–
[Guest 2 gives her a bag of Ruffles chips]
Guest 2: Excited, excited…yes, we know.
Guest 3: I can’t wait to see her face tomorrow.
Sue: Oh, my Go-o-o-o-o-od! I forgot about her face!! That’s the best part!!
Grandpa: We still have a lot to cover. So let’s talk about–
Sue: Oh, boy. My hands are paralyzed![Can’t open thebag of chips, Guest 2 opens the bag for her]
Grandpa: I thought we could do—I can do somejuggling from back when I was an army clown. I stillhave the nose someplace.
Sue: CLOWN![crams chips in her mouth]
Guest 1: Sue, get a hold of yourself!
Sue: I’m sorry, but I didn’t know this was happening!
Guest 2: Why don’t you go outside and get some air?
Sue: I’m sorry, you know what would make me calm down?A practice surprise. We can all figure out where we’re gonna hide.
Grandpa: Good idea. I don’t want to screw this up. So,everybody hide somewhere.
[The guests get up and hide behind the couch]
Grandpa: Ok, I bring her in. I say “Ok, Annie. We’re home.” And then you say—
All except Sue: Surprise!
