| [00:08.93] | I had an interview today, too. |
| [00:10.43] | I had a great interview |
| [00:11.78] | with Admissions at Columbia University. |
| [00:14.23] | Really? |
| [00:15.16] | What did they say? |
| [00:16.41] | Will you get into the school? |
| [00:17.85] | Well, they didn't say anything for sure. |
| [00:19.88] | But I figure that with my grades and with my personality, |
| [00:23.68] | I'll have no problem. |
| [00:25.48] | Columbia's a terrific school. |
| [00:27.79] | What are you going to do? |
| [00:29.12] | Do? I don't know. |
| [00:31.47] | I also applied to NYU. |
| [00:34.21] | You sound excited about Columbia. |
| [00:36.52] | What's your problem, Mike? |
| [00:38.43] | Indecision. Indecision. |
| [00:41.05] | It's not easy, |
| [00:41.86] | and this is an important decision we have to make. |
| [00:44.21] | What about you? |
| [00:45.46] | How was your interview with Michigan? |
| [00:47.36] | The interview was fine. |
| [00:48.97] | It's a great college. |
| [00:50.90] | It is. |
| [00:52.17] | My father would like me to go there. |
| [00:54.11] | He and my Grandpa both went there. |
| [00:56.57] | Great medical school, too. |
| [00:58.25] | I know. |
| [01:00.26] | You can follow in your father's footsteps. |
| [01:02.41] | Ah! I'd like to follow in my own footsteps, Mike. |
| [01:06.49] | What do you want to study? |
| [01:08.26] | I've been thinking. |
| [01:09.97] | I think I want to study journalism |
| [01:12.29] | to be a reporter--a newspaperman. |
| [01:14.58] | You do a pretty good job on the Riverdale High School paper. |
| [01:17.87] | And I've been thinking about it a lot lately. |
| [01:20.34] | Have you discussed it with your parents? |
| [01:22.40] | No. But I have to. |
| [01:25.42] | OK. Let's talk. |
| [01:37.24] | Hi, Son. Is everything all right? |
| [01:41.93] | Hi, Dad. Everything's fine. |
| [01:44.89] | I was just waiting for you to get home |
| [01:46.64] | so we could talk. |
| [01:47.71] | Anything special you want to talk about? |
| [01:50.52] | There is, Dad. |
| [01:53.19] | I'm listening. |
| [01:55.29] | Well, I know you and Mom have given up a lot |
| [01:59.49] | to save money for my college tuition. |
| [02:02.73] | We want you to go to college, Robbie. |
| [02:04.31] | I know. I do. |
| [02:06.80] | But? |
| [02:08.79] | Well, I've thought a lot about which college, |
| [02:13.38] | and one of them is Columbia. |
| [02:16.21] | Columbia? Why Columbia? |
| [02:20.51] | First, they have an excellent School of Journalism. |
| [02:25.69] | They do. |
| [02:27.91] | And your friends are planning to go to Columbia? |
| [02:32.18] | That's only part of it. |
| [02:34.44] | It's complicated. |
| [02:38.04] | I'll try to explain. |
| [02:40.14] | Mike and I had a hamburger this afternoon, and we talked. |
| [02:43.79] | Yes? |
| [02:45.53] | Well, we talked about a lot of things. |
| [02:48.44] | He applied to Columbia, |
| [02:49.78] | and his interview was very successful. |
| [02:51.86] | He thinks he'll be accepted, |
| [02:53.23] | and he really wants to go there. |
| [02:56.76] | Dean Rafer called me today. |
| [03:00.04] | He told me he was very impressed with you. |
| [03:04.06] | He's a nice man. |
| [03:05.39] | He was very kind. |
| [03:07.92] | He told me |
| [03:09.85] | you had some doubts about wanting to go to Michigan. |
| [03:13.62] | Yes. I do. |
| [03:15.95] | I'm just not sure about what I want to do. |
| [03:20.09] | That's OK. |
| [03:23.14] | You understand? |
| [03:25.38] | Let me tell you something, Robbie. |
| [03:28.11] | Something that might be surprising to you. |
| [03:34.88] | What? Tell me. |
| [03:39.48] | Well, Grandpa wanted me to study engineering, like him. |
| [03:46.60] | Well, I wasn't clear about my future, |
| [03:49.49] | but I knew engineering was not for me. |
| [03:55.91] | What did you tell Grandpa? |
| [03:59.25] | The truth. |
| [04:02.84] | Then you're not upset |
| [04:04.23] | about my not wanting to go into medicine? |
| [04:08.30] | I'm not upset at all. |
| [04:10.72] | I'm just happy that we're able to talk about it. |
| [04:14.97] | I am too, Dad. |
| [04:18.26] | I suppose you want to apply to Columbia. |
| [04:22.58] | Yes, but I also want to apply to several other colleges. |
| [04:28.82] | I thought you wanted to go to Columbia. |
| [04:30.57] | Well, I might want to go to Columbia. |
| [04:32.95] | But I might not. |
| [04:35.30] | I just want to be able to make my own decision. |
| [04:39.60] | You're a real Stewart! |
| [04:42.74] | And if I think about it long enough, you never know ... |
| [04:47.13] | Never know what? |
| [04:48.65] | If I make my own decision, |
| [04:51.85] | I might choose Michigan. |
| [04:57.05] | Robbie, you're something! |
| [04:59.18] | You know, when I was your age, |
| [05:02.73] | I said exactly the same thing to Grandpa. |
