| [00:02.44] | A Place of Our Own |
| [00:04.90] | ACT I |
| [00:11.66] | Ellen, I'd like your opinion. |
| [00:14.80] | About what? |
| [00:17.00] | Well, Richard and I feel that with a baby coming |
| [00:23.01] | we need to have our own place to live. |
| [00:30.26] | Oh. |
| [00:31.47] | Well, what do you think about Richard and me |
| [00:32.97] | looking for a small house or an apartment |
| [00:35.72] | at this point in our lives? |
| [00:39.55] | We love having you here, |
| [00:41.62] | and there is room, |
| [00:42.71] | and ... and when the baby comes, |
| [00:45.49] | the baby can stay in your room for a while. |
| [00:49.68] | Richard feels we need to find a small house. |
| [00:57.33] | I remember when I was pregnant with Richard. |
| [01:02.25] | Philip and I were living with Grandma and Grandpa. |
| [01:04.00] | Philip was a young doctor, |
| [01:05.10] | and he kept talking about having a house of our own. |
| [01:09.87] | It's natural. |
| [01:11.47] | What did you do? |
| [01:13.76] | We looked at a lot of houses. |
| [01:16.96] | Did you find one? |
| [01:18.63] | Oh, not at first. |
| [01:19.51] | We couldn't afford it. |
| [01:21.20] | Grandpa wanted to lend us the money to buy one, |
| [01:26.02] | but Philip is too independent. |
| [01:28.12] | He didn't want to borrow any money. |
| [01:31.66] | Sounds like Richard. |
| [01:33.40] | They're all alike. |
| [01:35.11] | Richard is a real Stewart. |
| [01:39.02] | He's independent, |
| [01:39.92] | and sometimes just stubborn. |
| [01:46.03] | When did you buy a house? |
| [01:48.58] | After Richard was born. |
| [01:51.79] | I was teaching music, |
| [01:52.74] | and Philip was opening his first medical office. |
| [01:57.65] | Where was the house? |
| [01:58.84] | Right here in Riverdale. |
| [02:00.83] | Of course, it was a small house, |
| [02:04.99] | but just right for us. |
| [02:08.61] | It's funny. History repeats itself. |
| [02:11.05] | Now Richard and I are having a baby, |
| [02:12.66] | and we probably won't be able to |
| [02:14.22] | afford a house right away, either. |
| [02:16.90] | Why don't you look at some houses, Marilyn? |
| [02:20.89] | Good idea. \u597D\u4E3B\u610F\u3002 |
| [02:23.05] | Look in the real-estate section of Sunday's Times. |
| [02:26.99] | You'll learn a lot. |
| [02:28.36] | Maybe we should |
| [02:30.12] | speak to a real-estate agent about a house. |
| [02:33.06] | And a bank about a mortgage. |
| [02:35.90] | I'll talk to Richard about it. |
| [02:38.13] | I think it's a good idea, Ellen. |
| [02:39.49] | We can learn a lot by asking. |
| [02:42.74] | And if I can be of any help, |
| [02:44.99] | let me know. |
| [02:45.96] | As a matter of fact, |
| [02:46.99] | my friend Virginia Martinelli is a real-estate agent. |
| [02:49.97] | Good. |
| [02:51.17] | You won't believe this, |
| [02:52.45] | but she sold us our first house and this one. |
| [02:56.99] | Well, I'll tell Richard, |
| [02:57.71] | and we'll go to see her. |
| [03:06.21] | Do you think the skirt length is right, Ellen? |
| [03:10.52] | Do you think it's too long? |
| [03:14.02] | I think the skirt is just right. |
| [03:16.83] | Are you planning to attach a train to it? |
| [03:19.35] | No. No train. Just the dress. |
| [03:23.19] | But I am going to make a headpiece of lace. |
| [03:27.27] | That dress is gorgeous. |
| [03:30.30] | Thanks, Ellen. |
| [03:32.29] | And thanks for the advice about the house. |
| [03:35.64] | I'll talk to Richard about it |
| [03:38.09] | the minute he comes home. |
| [03:38.86] | And remember, |
| [03:40.52] | we love having you here. |
| [03:43.43] | There's no need to rush. |
| [03:48.45] |
