GRANDPA VANDERHOFF: How's Essie doing?
KOLENKHOV: Confidentially, she stinks.
GRANDPA VANDERHOFF: Oh well, as long as she's happy.
Essie isn't actually a good dancer, but she likes dancing, and dreaming of being a dancer. That's good enough for Grandpa.
Quote #5
GRANDPA VANDERHOF: [offering grace] Quiet, please, quiet! Well, sir, here we are again. We've had quite a time of it lately, but it seems that the worst of it is over. Course, the fireworks all blew up, but we can't very well blame that on you. Anyway, everything's turned out fine, as it usually does. Alice is going to marry Tony; Mr. Kirby, who's turned out to be a very good egg, sold us back our house—he'll probably forget all about big deals for a while. Nobody on our block has to move and, with the right handling, I think we can even thaw out Mrs. Kirby here. We've all got our health; as far as anything else is concerned, we still leave that up to you. Thank you. Bring it on, Rheba!
The conclusion of the film is Grandpa offering up a prayer, in which he basically says he's not going to plan anything and will leave it all up to God. You can pursue your dreams because God will take care of you. Which is a comforting thought, and works in the film, anyway.
