[edit] Plot Outline
Blanche's fourteen-year-old grandson David comes to Miami. Staying up all night every night, partying with a rough crowd, he brings a whole new meaning to the term "generation gap". Because he's staying at the house, Dorothy has to share a room with Sophia while studying for her French final.

- The title of this episode alludes to the 1981 film On Golden Pond.
[edit] Memorable Quotes
- Blanche: I don't believe in hitting children.
Sophia: Personally, I like to lay into a kid with a melon baller.
(later)
David: What am I supposed to do for the next two weeks--just sit around and listen to your arteries harden?
Blanche: You stop that!
Dorothy: You know something? I am having a real problem with your attitude.
David: Oh really? Well, you can all just kiss my attitude!
(Sophia slaps him in the face; he turns and walks out)
Sophia: You wouldn't let me get the melon baller, so I improvised.
Blanche: Is that all you Italians know how to do, scream and hit?
Sophia: No, we also know how to make love and sing opera!
- Dorothy: I do not snore.
Sophia: Please, I'll bet less disgusting noises come out of Ernest Borgnine!
(later)
Dorothy: Ma, I do not snore.
Sophia: Please, I had to turn you away from the windows so you wouldn't inhale the drapes!
- Rose: This is like "The Long Day's Journey Into Light".
Dorothy: Night, Rose.
Rose: (heading to her room) Night, Dorothy.
- Sophia: Are you kidding? They invented chores in Sicily! Crossing the street without getting pregnant was a chore in Sicily.
- Dorothy: How am I supposed to study for my French final with a fourteen-year-old in the house? It's hard enough with an eighty-year old.
Sophia: Are you referring to me?
Dorothy: Of course not, Ma. I'm referring to Cary Grant. He's living in the broom closet.
