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] |
