House. Day. A car drives up. A jaunty-looking old man gets out and hugs Sharon. He looks like Anthony Hopkins in that movie about Picasso. Ozzy then camera-talks about how Sharon was estranged for twenty years from her father and one day Ozzy told her it was bullshit and made Sharon call him. Ozzy jokes that it was the worst thing he ever did because now they're never off the phone.
Gramps talks about how one day someone came to visit that he didn't expect. It was Sharon. And her first words, Sharon offers, were, "You motherfucking piece of shit." Gramps agrees, amused. He seems to have the same sense of humor as Sharon. Sharon then goes on about how the kids thought he was Tony Curtis and they asked, "Why is Tony Curtis calling you a whore?" Okay, but really, how many little kids have had to ask why Tony Curtis was calling their mom a whore over the years? Especially in the rural Vegas area. Tons. Gramps has this male "friend" with him, and so I'm guessing he's gay. I could be wrong, but that's the vibe I'm getting. (And maybe that's where Jack gets the love of the older boys.) Gramps sings a Yiddish song which makes the dogs yip and embarrasses the hell out of Sharon. They hug. Quick Montage of Gramps with various family members as Ozzy voice-overs about how great it is that though they didn't talk for twenty years, now they're talking. Wisely and correctly, he says that family feuds are just not fucking worth it. True dat.
Ozzy puts ear drops in Gramps's ear. (Gramps is called Don, I'm getting from the captions. Don isn't a grandpa name, so I'll call him Gramps.) Ozzy keeps pouring and rubbing and yelling, "Can you feel that in your eardrum, Don?" Finally he finishes and asks, "Do you want a burrito, Don?"
