Isabelle pays frequent visits to her Yiddish-speaking Bubbe (grandmother), Ida, who lives in an Orthodox Jewish neighborhood on the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

At first Isabelle is dismissive of Sam, believing that the small business he owns, a street corner pickle stand, is too working class to provide the life she wants.

A disgusted Isabelle rejects him and races to her grandmother's apartment, finding it empty with Ida sleeping on the couch.

The two finally are united and Ida, waking and having feigned senile dementia to keep Sam from leaving, laughs gleefully that her plan has succeeded.
