An old house with a neat lawn. The front door of the house opens and an old man steps out. An old man is wearing khaki pants, a coat, and a billed hat , as he relaxingly closes the door to his house.
He is walking on the street and looks to his left. He sees an electronics store where a customer is helping out another man who is getting an item for his son; his son is very exciting, eager to get his hands on the device.
The man arrives at old fashioned coffee shop. He lethargically opens the door. The waiter behind the counter says to the old man “good morning Bob” the old man replies “good morning”. “black coffee like always?”. “Yes, thank you”. The waiter then asks him “Are you sure you don’t want to try our new espresso?” The old man grunts. The old man takes out some crumpled old dollars and places them on the counter. The waiter puts the daily newspaper on the counter in exchange. The old man takes the seat of his choosing. The waiter puts a napkin on the table. He grabs the daily newspaper, and opens it up. In the corner of the of his eye he sees two kids playing their video game. He waves the page in front of him to reestablish his vision.
The old man gently moves the chess piece across the table. His counterpart then places the opposite colored piece across the table. The old men have a casual conversation about their recent lives. The old man, continuing his conversation, is about to move another piece when a kid knocks over the table. The old man is looks confused. The little boy casually reacts “ohh” and continues running and plays with his friends. The old man’s friend asks the old man if he wants to start over. The old man begins to put on his jacket “no my son is coming over with his kid. I haven’t met the boy yet”. He walks away with his hands in his pockets.
The old man is sitting on the couch when the doorbell rings. Father walks in and greets the old man. Father is about to introduce his son, but he is playing his videogame: “Ey i told you to put that away in the car, say hello to grandpa Bob”. “Hello”. They pause for a second. Father says “I brought some food”, they all transition to the dinner table where they take out the boxes of food.
As the dad sets up dinner, the kid resumes playing his video game. The old man seems a little concerned. He looks around his house to remind himself of his purity.
They finish up eating as the old man and father talk. Father excuses the kid. once he leaves, the old man questions why he raising his kid that way. The father is a bit skeptical, but concludes “Things aren’t the same as they use to be”. The old man seems to be irritated, and looks back down at his food.
One day, the old man is reading on his chair, when he hears the little kid scream in anger. The old man walks in and the boy is screaming at the game. The old man does not understand why the boy is mad. The boy continues to scream. The old man yells at him to quiet down, and he breaks the game. The kid begins to cry in confusion. the old man tells the kid to relax, but the kid ignores him, and screams louder. Father walks in “what is going on?”. The old man tries to explain himself, but the kid, much louder and abrupt, is also telling his dad what had happened. The dad goes over and picks up the broken game. Father is appalled by the old man, and tells his son “Jessie, I’ll buy you a new one, lets go” . .. “You can’t do this dad, you need to understand that you cant”. The old man is very confused, and doesn’t understand what he did wrong, as his family walks out the door.
