| [00:00.35] | A Place of Our Own |
| [00:04.43] | ACT II |
| [00:18.48] | I remember your parents' first house very well. |
| [00:22.23] | It was on Spring Avenue, near the park. |
| [00:25.16] | I grew up in that house. |
| [00:26.60] | Yes, and you were such a cute baby. |
| [00:28.85] | I've seen pictures of him. |
| [00:30.87] | He had blond hair. |
| [00:32.94] | I've been friendly with the Stewart family |
| [00:34.45] | for a long time, |
| [00:35.16] | so it's my pleasure |
| [00:36.29] | to help you find a house now. |
| [00:37.65] | Well, we're not sure we can afford one. |
| [00:39.92] | But we'd like to find out |
| [00:41.22] | about the possibilities. |
| [00:42.21] | That's a good idea. |
| [00:44.22] | I love your house on Linden Street. |
| [00:47.16] | I sold your father that house seventeen years ago. |
| [00:50.12] | Really? |
| [00:50.68] | Yes, Mom was pregnant with Robbie then, |
| [00:52.75] | and they needed the extra room. |
| [00:54.34] | I hear you're expecting a baby, Mrs. Stewart. |
| [00:56.72] | Mmm-hmm. |
| [00:57.32] | So we will be needing more room. |
| [00:59.59] | Oh, so you don't need something immediately? |
| [01:01.18] | No. But in five or six months ... |
| [01:03.70] | And time passes so quickly. |
| [01:05.71] | Yes, it does. |
| [01:07.69] | Well, when you called, |
| [01:08.60] | you gave me enough information |
| [01:10.03] | about your salaries and your savings. |
| [01:12.01] | So I have a good idea about your financial situation. |
| [01:15.07] | Let me show you some pictures of houses. |
| [01:17.35] | With two bedrooms? |
| [01:19.19] | Yes, I think I can show you some. |
| [01:21.19] | Of course, they won't be in Riverdale. |
| [01:23.29] | The cost of housing's too high for you here. |
| [01:26.90] | I haven't thought about living anywhere else. |
| [01:29.87] | We've always lived in this area. |
| [01:32.14] | Where should we look for a house, Mrs. Martinelli? |
| [01:34.48] | Well, we have an office in Mount Kisco. |
| [01:36.40] | It's a lovely area, |
| [01:37.57] | and it's only about an hour's drive from here. |
| [01:40.00] | Here. |
| [01:40.86] | I have a book with photos of some homes in that area. |
| [01:45.41] | Now, let's see. Here. |
| [01:51.21] | This is a lovely two-bedroom house in your price range. |
| [01:55.86] | It's pretty, |
| [01:59.02] | but I prefer a two-story home. |
| [02:01.06] | I do, too. |
| [02:02.28] | I don't care for a ranch type. |
| [02:04.00] | OK. |
| [02:07.84] | Oh, this is a wonderful house. |
| [02:10.34] | I know it well. |
| [02:11.28] | I sold it to the present owners. |
| [02:12.96] | It looks wonderful. |
| [02:14.68] | This is a two-bedroom, two-bath house. |
| [02:16.80] | It has a full basement, |
| [02:18.39] | and it is on a half-acre lot. |
| [02:20.72] | You can probably afford this one. |
| [02:23.63] | I like this house. |
| [02:24.52] | So do I. |
| [02:25.84] | And the price is right. |
| [02:27.69] | Would you like to go see it? |
| [02:28.70] | Yes. We're planning |
| [02:29.86] | to talk to someone at the bank next week. |
| [02:32.25] | Perhaps we could see the house this weekend. |
| [02:34.66] | If someone doesn't buy it before then, |
| [02:36.10] | But let's keep looking. |
| [02:40.41] | Just to get an idea of some other possibilities. |
| [02:42.43] | This is very helpful, Mrs. Martinelli. |
| [02:47.13] | Here. |
| [02:48.01] | This is a wonderful example of Spanish-style architecture. |
| [02:51.49] | Oh, |
| [02:52.40] | I love the roof tiles on a Spanish-style house. |
| [02:55.67] | It looks like the houses in Hollywood. |
| [02:58.78] | It's interesting. |
| [03:00.04] | A house like this in Riverdale costs double the price. |
| [03:12.83] | Oh my! |
| [03:15.62] | Here's a real buy. |
| [03:18.64] | It's a bargain. |
| [03:19.44] | This house just came on the market. |
| [03:22.14] | It's quite lovely. |
| [03:23.06] | Is it a two-bedroom house? |
| [03:24.82] | No. It has three bedrooms and three baths. |
| [03:27.71] | I know the house. |
| [03:29.05] | It has a brand new kitchen. |
| [03:30.47] | And a living room with a twelve-foot ceiling. |
| [03:33.82] | And there's a two-car garage. |
| [03:35.91] | Then why don't we go look at this house, too? |
| [03:37.70] | It's a good investment. |
| [03:40.03] | Thank you, Mrs. Martinelli. |
| [03:41.17] | Thanks so much. |
| [03:42.28] | My pleasure. |
| [03:44.05] | Give my best to your parents. |
| [03:45.97] | Your father's a wonderful doctor, Richard. |
| [03:48.42] | He took care of my daughter |
| [03:50.87] | when she was a child. |
| [03:53.04] | He's the best pediatrician in Westchester. |
| [03:53.41] | Thanks, Mrs. Martinelli. |
| [03:54.25] | I'll give them your regards. |
| [03:55.45] | We really appreciate your advice. |
| [03:57.98] | I do think you should go see the houses |
| [03:59.81] | and talk to the bank. |
| [04:01.28] | Here. |
| [04:01.87] | Let me give you some information sheets about the houses. |
| [04:09.58] | They're both very good buys. |
| [04:12.26] | Well, thanks so much for your help and your time, |
| [04:14.67] | Mrs. Martinelli. |
| [04:16.18] | We've got a lot to talk about. |
| [04:17.72] | Mmm-hmm. Thanks. |
