Maw Maw! Hurry up!
It's time for the yard movie.
Who's the pygmy?
What's it doing in my seat?
Maw Maw, this is your great-granddaughter, Hope.
Who the heck are you?
Yeah, I think Maw Maw's confused again.
Maw Maw, what's the last thing you remember?
That dopey looking kid went out to get bubblegum ice cream.
Wow. She's forgotten, like, the last three years.
Get out the instruments,
she needs a memory reset.
One, two, three...
**Jimmy brought home a serial killer *
**And he nailed her before he knew *
**They locked her up without a key, but in her guilty belly *
**a darling baby grew*
**Jimmy was a struggling single father *
**Till he found a girl to help him cope *
**That's your great-grandson Jimmy *
**And his wife Sabrina *
**And...their daughter...
Monkey?
Maybe some specifics would jog her memory.
Maw Maw, remember how...
**Hope got stuck in Virginia's shed *
**You Jenga-ed her out or she'd be dead *
**We went to Vegas with Virginia's cousin *
**Burt was Jewish and then he wasn't*
**Pitched our inventions to Andrew Dice Clay *
**Jimmy married Frank, although he's not gay *
**We met Jimmy's almost family,*
**a bunch of racists*
**We caught a squirrel who was a rapist *
**We busted you out of a nursing home *
**They fought a bear, we danced with some *
**Bought a used time machine *
**- Fought a giant candy war - Trained a pig*
**Sold pigurines*
**And so, so, so much more...*
Maw Maw, do you remember it now?
Are you still confused?
Nope. That's...
**Barney, Frank, the odd one's Shelley *
**Dancin' Dan*
**I know I'm Maw Maw*
**My granddaughter, Virginia *
**Her husband Burt,*
**my great-grandson Jimmy *
**His wife Sabrina*
**And... their daughter...*
I want to say...
Edgar.
Hope!
I hope your name is Edgar, too--
that would be hilarious.
Burt!
You got to come with me. I saw him again.
That guy who looks like white Morgan Freeman?
No. deja vu Man!
Damn, I always miss him.
What are they talking about? deja vu Man.
He's mom's imaginary friend.
He's not imaginary. He's real.
He shows up every few years.
The first time,
I was waiting for Paw Paw to pick me up from school.
I just thought he was a pervert,
but then when I saw he didn't have a mustache,
I assumed I was being discovered
by an undercover modeling talent scout.
He always shows up when I'm at my least photogenic.
The last time before today was about a year ago.
We got to get there quick.
I followed him to the barbershop
and he doesn't have a lot of hair.
Someone gonna spin, or what?
There he is.
Let me see.
You see him?
No. The Hair-monizers are in the way.
They look like they sound great.
Hey! Cookie Man is in there, too!
Which one?
The guy by the window getting a shave.
But... the guy by the window getting a shave, that's deja vu Man!
Then deja vu Man is also Cookie Man!
Okay, fine, I'll bite--
who's Cookie Man? Dad's imaginary friend.
Cookie Man started coming around years ago
when Jimmy was little.
He would show up at the park
and share his cookies with us.
He was always asking about Jimmy.
He's a very smart baby.
I think he gets from me.
Are you drinking breast milk? Yeah. You want some?
Uh, no, I'm gonna pass.
Well, that's an interesting mask.
Uh, what's he supposed to be?
We asked him what he wanted to dress up as for Halloween--
he said, "Jimmy."
It's the only word he knows.
Isn't that right, boy? Jimmy.
Want some more cookies?
Jimmy.
How old are you?
Jimmy.
What's your name?
Cookie!
Hey! He learned a new word!
Told you he was smart.
He even showed up last month
when I was in the park with Hope.
You know, there's a lot of strangers
who hand treats to kids in this town,
but your cookies are by far the best.
Burt, please, I'm not a stranger.
I'm Cookie Man.
I'm really sorry, Burt.
I always thought you made up Cookie Man
just to cover for spoiling Jimmy's dinner.
I'm sorry, too. I sometimes wondered if deja vu Man
was just another one of your crazy conspiracy theories,
like UFOs or Bigfoot
or that Delaware doesn't actually exist.
Name one person that's ever been to Delaware.
Did you say that deja vu-slash-Cookie Man
was the one in front getting a shave?
Yeah. Why? 'Cause that's also Super Curious Guy!
