[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.
