Unclaimed baggage only part

Grace: I cannot believe what I'm seeing. You made breakfast?
Ben: Well, I made something out of eggs. We'll see how it goes.
Grace: I'm sure it's delicious. You're up early. What, are you scrapbooking?
Ben: You know me. Pack rat.
Grace: Oh, by the way, your dad called. Apparently, Cal is begging to stay up at the lake with him an extra day. Next treatment's not till the weekend.
Ben: How many times did Cal want to go up there but was too sick? I'm fine with that if you are.
Grace: Well... means we'll have the house to ourselves while Olive's at school and Ally's having her nap.
Ben: I am definitely fine with that. ( Chuckles )
Ben: Hey, you look... ready to face the day. Olive: Caffeination.
Ben: Oh, I like your... overalls.
Grace: Romper.
Ben: What's the difference? Romper, got it. So, what are you doing after school? Olive:Grandpa's giving me driving lessons. Grace: Actually, we need to reschedule that. Grandpa's gonna stay at the lake with Cal an extra day.
Olive: Seriously? I could do it. I-I need Grandpa's car. That's the one I've been practicing on.
Ben: Now you can practice on ours. It'll be good, right?
( Sighs )
Olive: Never mind. It's fine.
Ben: What did I do?
Grace: Absolutely nothing. Olive just has a hard time with change, and she's had a lot of it lately.
Ben: Like suddenly having a dad back in the picture, and one who doesn't know what a romper is.
Grace: You are doing fine. Just give it time. You'll learn to speak Olive.
Ben: Is it mostly this?
( Scoffs ) ( Chuckles )
Grace: Yeah, it's... it's mostly that.
