Back in the Future, Day 128

On the telephone:

Vincent (to Nathaniel): Nate? Are you reading me?

Nathaniel (to Vincent): Uncle Vincent? Is that you?

Vincent (to Nathaniel): It is... I wish I was calling you with better news, kiddo, but... I don't know how to tell you this, but I just got a call from your aunt Mary. Your grandfather is dead.

Nathaniel (to Vincent): Oh. ...I, uh, I know he wasn't doing real well, so it's not a huge surprise.

Vincent (to Nathaniel): I wish I could say this face to face. Mary said he disappeared a few days ago. They thought he had a fit of dementia, but they found his body. From the decomposition, they think he's been dead for a more than a few months.

Nathaniel (to Vincent): More than a few months? I... What? I don't understand.

Vincent (to Nathaniel): We're looking into it. Just... Be careful, alright?

Nathaniel: Shit… (to Vincent) Yeah... I will. You too. Thanks for letting me know.
