| [00:00.01] | Episode 09: It's Up to You ACT I |
| [00:02.39] | Who is it? |
| [00:03.46] | Dad. |
| [00:05.33] | Come on in, Dad. |
| [00:09.74] | I thought you might be hungry. |
| [00:11.84] | I brought you a chicken sandwich and a glass of milk. |
| [00:14.53] | I am hungry. |
| [00:15.57] | Thanks, Dad. |
| [00:18.51] | What time is it, anyway? |
| [00:22.55] | Ten o'clock. |
| [00:25.89] | What are you working on? |
| [00:27.43] | I'm writing a story for the high-school paper. |
| [00:31.04] | Can't you finish it tomorrow? |
| [00:32.49] | No, I have to turn it in in the morning. |
| [00:36.52] | What's it about? |
| [00:39.24] | I'm writing an article on the feelings about graduation. |
| [00:43.53] | And ... how do you feel? |
| [00:46.49] | Me? |
| [00:48.93] | A little scared. |
| [00:50.61] | And excited, too. |
| [00:54.04] | I felt the same way. |
| [00:55.75] | The scary part's leaving home and moving to college. |
| [00:58.93] | Oh, leaving home is part of growing up. |
| [01:03.95] | Well, don't work all night. |
| [01:07.18] | I don't mind. |
| [01:08.02] | I enjoy writing. |
| [01:09.92] | Well, |
| [01:10.61] | maybe you should think about becoming a writer. |
| [01:12.53] | Maybe I should. |
| [01:14.78] | You have lots of time to decide. |
| [01:17.33] | That's the worst part--making decisions. |
| [01:21.27] | You'll be OK. |
| [01:22.96] | Good night, Son. |
| [01:24.25] | Good night, Dad. |
| [01:35.26] | "Hail to the victors valiant, |
| [01:37.40] | Hail to the conquering heroes, |
| [01:39.58] | Hail, Hail to Michigan, |
| [01:41.99] | The champions of the West!" |
| [01:44.07] | Ah, good morning, Robbie. |
| [01:47.57] | Good morning, Dad. |
| [01:48.74] | How's my grandson? |
| [01:50.22] | Fine, Grandpa. Fine! |
| [01:52.28] | What's all the cheering about? |
| [01:54.03] | Did the University of Michigan win another football game? |
| [01:56.84] | Better than that. |
| [01:58.47] | Tell him, Philip. |
| [01:59.72] | I just spoke with Charley Rafer. |
| [02:02.16] | Who's Charley Rafer? |
| [02:04.18] | He's the Dean of Admissions for the University of Michigan. |
| [02:06.94] | And it turns out he's a classmate of Philip's. |
| [02:09.78] | We were both on the tennis team. |
| [02:12.13] | Great! |
| [02:13.94] | It is great. |
| [02:15.34] | He's going to be in New York tomorrow |
| [02:16.83] | to interview applicants for admission. |
| [02:19.27] | And he's agreed to fit you into his schedule. |
| [02:22.80] | But I may not want to go to Michigan. |
| [02:25.59] | It's one of the best schools in the country, Robbie. |
| [02:28.49] | I studied medicine there. |
| [02:29.78] | Your grandfather went to the Engineering School there. |
| [02:32.82] | I know that, but ... |
| [02:34.50] | You said you wanted to be a doctor like your father. |
| [02:37.26] | Not exactly. |
| [02:39.10] | You couldn't pick a finer medical school than Michigan. |
| [02:42.19] | Yes, I know that. |
| [02:44.06] | Let's meet with Charley at the university club. |
| [02:47.26] | Ten o'clock tomorrow morning. |
| [02:49.59] | It doesn't mean you're going to Michigan. |
| [02:52.70] | It doesn't mean you have to be a doctor. |
| [02:54.93] | But the interview will be good experience for you. |
| [02:58.42] | In that case, it's OK. |
| [03:01.98] | Dad, growing up means |
| [03:04.53] | making my own decisions, doesn't it? |
| [03:07.93] | You're right, Robbie. |
| [03:09.36] | But, like your Grandpa suggested, |
| [03:13.41] | have the interview. |
| [03:15.72] | And then make your own decision. |
| [03:19.82] | That sounds fine. |
| [03:21.52] | I know it's sudden, Robbie, |
| [03:22.72] | but this is an important opportunity. |
| [03:26.35] | We'll head down there first thing tomorrow morning. |
| [03:28.19] | OK? |
| [03:28.88] | Sure, Dad. |
| [03:33.16] | I want you to know something, Son. |
| [03:37.35] | I'm ... very proud of you. |
| [03:41.47] | Thanks, Dad. |
| [03:45.09] | Well, I've got an appointment at the hospital. |
| [03:47.34] | I'll see you all at dinnertime. |
| [03:49.71] | Bye, Dad. |
| [03:52.92] | Is something still wrong, Robbie? |
| [03:58.42] | I'll be OK. |
| [04:01.03] | Going away to college for the first time |
| [04:04.02] | always makes one a little nervous. |
| [04:08.95] | I guess so. |
| [04:10.76] | I'll be OK. I just need time to think. |
