Jeremy and his family arrive at an assisted living facility in Atlanta to visit his Grandpa Vinny; the Wilson family is shocked by who and what they find at the facility.

- Ooh, baby, what is this place?

- This look like some
bull... up in here.

- Ah, there's... everywhere.

- Is that a rat?
- Wha?

- Oh, oh! My chin, baby.

- I'm sorry.
- Damn.

- Where are we?

- Is this how y'all treat
Grandpa?

- Okay, this is your
grandfather's nice home.

- Mm-hmm, now we know what
to do when you guys get old.

- I'll...
- SANDRA: Mm-hmm.



- We gonna drop
y'all right here.

- Boy, I wish you would
try to drop me somewhere.

- Calm down, Dad,
don't be so hostile.

- I got scared for a second.

- I mean, Mom, Dad, how much
are y'all paying for this place?

- Are we paying for this place?

Well, let's not focus on that,

let's focus on the beauty
of that drive, right?

- That was a long...
- Hey!

I'm the only one that
say "ass" in this house.

- That's right.

- Yeah, that was
a long-ass ride.

- It was a long-ass drive.

- Excuse me, gotta
go to the bathroom.



- Baby, there was
one by the door.

I think you should
go try to find it.

- Say what?

- Are you sure?
- Are y'all tripping?

- What?

- This place looks haunted.

- It is not haunted.

- Didn't a whole bunch
of old people die here?

- That's why there's a graveyard
across the street.

Mm.

- Go... go.

Go, go, go, help your
sister find a bathroom!

Get out of here, go! - Okay.

But if I don't come back,

just bury me in that graveyard
with the old people.

- Yeah, with your phone,
I'm sure.

- Yeah, but get a great shot
for the Gram

so I can at least get
some followers when I'm dead.

Come on.

- Uh, b-b-baby, it does look
a little rundown in here.

- Rundown? This... is tore up.

- Yeah, and you said your
grandfather lives here?

- Yeah.

- How?

When was the last time
you came to visit him?

- When my grandmother died.

- It's been that long?
- Mm-hmm.

- VINNY: Uh!
- Ah!

- That be two years,
six months, four hours,

and three days.

Hook me, son. [laughs]

Hook me, Leah.

- I... I'll pass.

- Where them little
naughty-head bastards at?

- Grandpa, are you
talking about my children?

- Yeah, them little rugrats.

- Hey, don't talk
about my kids like that.

- [laughs] Shit, you the one
call them that...

- Honey, do you?

- Well, nah, no,
no, I said... no, not that.

- [laughs]

- You know I love them.

- Well, where are they?

- They went to the bathroom.

- Oh, I'll be damned.

- Why you say that?
- Uh, never mind.

- Did you find it?

- Yeah, but there's
no running water.

- And a bucket where
the toilet used to be.

There is no way...
- JEREMY: What?

- Grandpa, what is going on?

And where is everybody?

- Well, you ain't gonna believe
this..., but check it out.

The health department... take a
look... closed this place down,

and I'm the only
one living here.

- What?

- Yeah.

- Whoa, wait, Pop,

- Yes, sir.

- Ah, no, I'm calling
the police, man.

That's elderly abuse.

- No, no, no,
I might get arrested.

- But it's true.

- Grandpa Vinny...

lot of people died here.

This is literally a place
where old people go to die.

Do I need Botox?
A little wrinkle...

was seven of us here, right?

Then one person died, and
then another person died,

then another pers... that was
3 people died in 20 minutes.

Just bam, bam, bam
dead, just like that.

Then the health department
brought their ass in here

for some reason and
shut the place down.

Now, the old lady who was
working, before she died,

she sold the place.

And here we are.

- Who is we?

- Well, uh, me and my plants.

- What?

- Yeah, well, don't tell nobody,

but I grow weed in the backyard

behind the dumpster.

I got a... - Grandpa,

- Boy, that ain't illegal.

I got a license

- You do not have a
license to grow weed, man.

- Yes, I do have a license, boy.

Show what I'm talking about.

I got it from... I got it
from a one-eyed rapper.

We was in business together.

- That's Fetty Wap, mm-hmm.
- Fetty Wap.

- No, no, his name was Wink.

- I don't care what his name
is, man, that's illegal.

- Not here in Colorado.

- Wait, wait, wait,
ain't we in Georgia?

- Minor details.

- Grandpa, are you trying
to go to jail or what?

- Boy, if I go to jail,

- Uh, you know that
is the death of me.

- Well, then stop it.

- I won't say another word.
- Thank you.

- Well, I don't know why you're
worried.

There's no reception out here.

- Wait, what?
- Yep.

- No, what about the Wi-Fi?

- Nope.

- What the hell?
- Oh, I wish you would!

I wish you would! - Oh!

- [screaming]

Baby, I'm
dirty, I'm dirty, I'm dirty.

- I'm sorry.

- Why the hell these...
Keep asking for waffles?

They're making me hungry.
All this weed I done smoked.

- Grandpa, it's Wi-Fi.

- Why the... do I care?

- Grandpa!

- Oh, oh, you talking
about the internets.

- Yes. What literally all people
have in this day and age.

- [chuckles] Well, you know,
back in my day,

what we had...
- Yeah, yeah, we know,

we know, two cans and string.

- Let me ask you something, son.

What one of these kids you
don't give a damn about?

- It's you.

- Yeah, my son.

- 'Cause I'll kill
his ass for ya.

[laughs]
- JEREMY: Alright, y'all stop.

- You better tell him.
- Hold on, hold on,

hold on, Grandpa.

Look, we need to get back to
the subject at hand, okay?

- I'll be damned, did she
just say the subject at hand?

Boy, you two-handed people
make my ass sick.

That's me giving you the finger.

- Grandpa, look, man,
nobody's supposed to leave you

here alone,
I'm calling the police.

I want the owner arrested.
- No, the hell you don't!

- Yes, I do.

- [chuckles] Grandson,
do you love me?

What the hell take you so long?

- I had to think about
it, yeah, I love you, man.

- Okay, well, then
don't do that.

- Why not?

- Let's just say if you
love me, you wouldn't do it.

- No, I'm calling them
because I love you.

- What your dad trying to
do is turn me into the man!

- Man, what are
you talking about?

- No, Grandpa, listen.

He's right, okay?

- Then don't let
his ass do that.

- No, okay, we need to
call the authorities.

- Well, I'll be damned.

Did she just say "authorities"?

- Yes, she did.

- Okay, what black woman
married to a black man

in this day and time uses
the word "authority"?

- I guess this one.

Hurt your hand
again, didn't you?

Squats, baby. - [giggles]

- Buns of steel.

- Mom and Dad, gross!

- No, no, Grandpa, I'm calling...
- No, no, no!

- Why not?

- Okay, you want
the owner arrested?

- Yes.
- The real damn owner?

- Yes, man.
- Yes!

- You want his ass locked up?
- Yes.

- Yes, you shouldn't be
here alone like this, man.

This is wrong.

- Well, damn it, that's me.

- What?

- I'm the owner.

- What?
- Yeah!

- No, no, you did what?

- I got a hook hand,
but your ass can't hear.

- No, man, I can hear, I'm just
trying to make sure

I heard what I thought I heard.

- I bought the place.

- How?

- With money, dumbass!

- Grandpa, how did you buy it?

- Well, okay, you know
that stuff they call money?

That you use to
exchange stuff with?

If you have a girl over,
you leave like maybe 100,

then you say,
"That's way too much,"

so you take 50
back... and then you says,

"My wife and hand sanitizer
in the other room,

and get your ass up
before my wife get here."

- Please don't talk like
that in front of my kids.

- Are you really
saying this to me?

- I can't believe your ass.

Are you really asking
me what "bought" is?

- Babe, you better get him
before I bust him

in the head. - Don't do it.

Don't do it, babe, don't do it.
You got it, you got it.

- Just one hook, but
I can hear you,...!

- Grandpa, I was
not asking you that.

- Okay, then what
was you asking me?

- Grandpa, you know
what I'm saying.

- Tell your daddy
I bought the place.

- Dad! He bought the place!

- Boy, I know what he's
saying, don't play with me!

What are you talking about?

- Again, I bought it.

- With what money?

- Uuuuuh...

let's see, uh...

ah...

well, what would have
been your inheritance.

- Ain't this some...?

- Honey, honey, honey,
it's okay, it's okay.

- No, no, that money was
supposed to be for the kids.

- It's okay, it's okay, it's
okay, baby, it's okay.

- Wait, that money was
supposed to be for us?

- Oh! Oh, hell...
- Sshh, ssh, sssh.

- PHILIP: Oh, check it.

- Boy!

You couldn't wait for your
old grandmomma to die.

She was an old, amazing...

- Grandpa!

- No, man, she couldn't
...a blimp.

- BOTH: [laughs]

- JEREMY: Grandpa!

- Grandpa, please, I asked you
to stop talking about stuff

like that in front of my kids.

- I'm talking about
riding on the blimp.

They saw your grandmomma
with her big ass.

Her big ol' ass.

Nice ass.

Hook that ass.

- Get your Granddaddy.

- Stop talking about my
grandmother like that.

- No, go on and say it.

You glad your grandmomma dead.

- That is not true.
I loved Grandma.

- No, you didn't.
- Yes, I did.

- Well, here's a shocker.

Newsflash.

She left me the money to
give to your... ass daddy.

And I bought the place.

- Why would you do that?

- Because.
- What?

- Because you're a spoiled brat.

- Grandpa.

- Boy, the only reason you
brought your ass to Colorado

was to get money.

- We're in Georgia.

- Again.

- Didn't I tell you
about them punk-ass maps?

Stop listening to white people.

The Earth is flat!

- Oh my gosh.

- He clearly did
not go to school.

- Look, what you saying about
me not loving Grandma

is not true.

- Boy, everybody know
you up there struggling.

- Yeah, that may be so, but...

- Word is you out there shaking
that ass for a piece of change.

- So that's why he
was doing them squats.

- Hey, hey, hey.
- Wow.

- I came here...

- To get money.

- No, I came here...

- Look, I don't care why we
come here, where is the Wi-Fi?

I'm getting itchy.

- She... she kinda getting... she
kinda getting depressed

over this. - Shhhh-uh!

- Ah, ah!

in his hand, heaven help you.
