After their monthly visit with Grampa, the Simpson family drops him off at the Springfield Retirement Castle. Grampa, sarcastically thanks the family for taking him to the liquor store, but the family pays him no attention, and as they drive away, they are relieved that their visit with Grampa is over. On the car ride home, Bart, Lisa and Homer discuss what Grampa smells like, when Marge interrupts their conversation, telling them that they should pay more respect to the elderly. She mentions to Homer that they too will be old someday. Homer panics at the thought, and asks Bart and Lisa if they will put him in a home like he did to Grampa. When they act is if they answer is yes, Homer wonders aloud about what he can do to avoid being put in a home as well. Marge suggests that they should set a good example for the kids, and that their next visit with Grampa should actually be fun for him. As the family struggles to come up with a fun idea for Grampa's visit, they pass by a billboard ad for a wilderness experience called: Discount Lion Safari. Excited about the ad, they all agree that, next month they take Grampa to Discount Lion Safari.

ADD QUOTES-
Grampa: Out of my way, I got a date with an angel.
Jasper: You don't know how right you are, Abe.
Grampa: What?
Jasper: I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but Bea passed away last night.
Grampa: Oh no.
Jasper: It was her ticker. The doctor said her left ventricle burst.
Grampa: No, Jasper. They may say she died from a burst ventricle, but I know she died of a broken heart. -
Bea: So, um, (Clears throat) tell me about yourself.
Grampa: Uh, widower, one son, one working kidney. And you?
Bea: Widowed, bad hip and liver disorder. -
(Homer at a Krusty Burger drive thru.)
Homer: A double cheeseburger, onion rings, large strawberry shake, and, for God's sakes, hurry! -
Grampa: Oh, Lisa, what makes you think you deserve all that money?
Lisa: I don't deserve it, Grampa. No one here does. The people who deserve it are on the streets, and they're in the slums. They're little children who need more library books and families who can't make ends meet. Of course, if you really wanted to, you could buy me a pony.
Grampa: You're right!
Lisa: I'll name her Princess, and I'll ride her every day! -

Grampa: I miss Bea.
(Bea's ghost appears in the seat next to Grampa.)

(Grampa mourns Bea alone in his room.)
Lionel Hutz: It was a beautiful service, wasn't it, Mr. Simpson?
Grampa: (Yells) Who the hell are you?
Lionel Hutz: Lionel Hutz, attorney-at-law! I'm the executor of Beatrice Simmons' estate. Mr. Simpson, Bea was a wealthy woman and, surprise, surprise, she left everything to you.
Grampa: Really?
Lionel Hutz: There is one catch. You must spend one night in…a haunted house!
Grampa: (Gasps)
Lionel Hutz: (Chuckles) Just kidding, just kidding. -
(At Bea's funeral.)
Homer: I can't tell you how sorry I am, Dad.
Grampa: (Sarcastically) Is someone talking to me? I didn't hear anything.
Homer: Oh no! Dad's lost his hearing! -
Grampa: Eh, what are you, uh, doing tonight?
Bea: Sitting alone in my room.
Grampa: (Disappointed) Oh, well, if you've got plans already-- -
Bart: Ya know, Grampa kinda smells like that trunk in the garage where the bottom's all wet.
Lisa: Nuh-uh. He smells more like a photo lab.
Homer: Stop it, both of you! Grampa smells like a regular old man, which is more like a hallway in a hospital.
Marge: Homer, that's terrible! We should be teaching the children to treasure the elderly. You know, we'll be old someday.
Homer: (Gasps) My God, you're right, Marge! You kids won't put me in a home like I did to my dad, would ya?
Bart: Well…
Homer: (Screams) Marge, what do we do!? -
(At the casino)
Grampa: Put it all on 41. (To Homer) I've got a feeling about that number.
Roulette Operator: The wheel only goes to 36, sir.
Grampa: Okay, put it all on 36! (To Homer) I've got a feeling about that number.

NOTES (6)
ADD NOTES-
Audrey Meadows is best known as Alice Kramden on the Honeymooners that aired in the 1950s with Jackie Gleason.
-
This is the only episode in Season Two where Hank Azaria is given a starring credit. It was added because he voices so many characters on the show, they wanted to make sure the fans knew they weren't leaving people out on purpose. Azaria wasn't officially hired as a star of the show until Season Three.
-
The entire idea behind Bea's name came from a simple name mix-up that's only hinted to in the script. It was chosen as Simmons so it would be close to Abe's name, and that her name only began with a B while his had an A.
-
This is the only episode of The Simpsons where the voice actors and the characters they play are credited simultaneously.
-
Blackboard Joke: I will not grease the monkey bars.
Couch Gag: The family rushes in, only to find Grampa sleeping on the couch. They accidentally wake him up and startle him. -
First Appearance: Professor Frink, Krusty Burger
