| [00:01.41] | Hi. I'm Malcolm Stewart. |
| [00:04.23] | John Marchetta. |
| [00:05.58] | Sit down, sit down. |
| [00:09.20] | Susan has told me a great deal about you. |
| [00:11.96] | She says you're quite a man. |
| [00:13.79] | She says |
| [00:14.31] | a lot of wonderful things about you too, Mr. Stewart. |
| [00:17.97] | That's always nice to hear, Mr. Marchetta. |
| [00:20.45] | Call me John. |
| [00:21.49] | May I call you Malcolm? |
| [00:24.05] | Let's talk business. |
| [00:25.92] | That's music to my ears. |
| [00:27.91] | I understand |
| [00:28.62] | you used to be in the construction business. |
| [00:30.86] | Yup. Forty-three years. |
| [00:33.93] | Here's a brief description |
| [00:35.68] | of forty-three years of on-the-job training. |
| [00:42.11] | That is some history! |
| [00:44.84] | You're a valuable asset, Malcolm. |
| [00:46.83] | Very valuable. |
| [00:48.66] | Thank you. |
| [00:50.81] | Yup. Forty-three years. |
| [00:54.61] | Half that time in my own construction company. |
| [00:57.08] | Big jobs--factories, shopping malls. |
| [01:00.88] | That kind of thing. |
| [01:02.74] | Then you retired. |
| [01:04.20] | Yes. |
| [01:05.86] | After my wife died, |
| [01:07.83] | and I felt I should spend more time |
| [01:09.74] | with my children and grandchildren. |
| [01:12.89] | I lived in Florida, |
| [01:14.39] | and they lived in New York. |
| [01:15.99] | I understand. |
| [01:16.80] | My dautghter Cami lives in New York. |
| [01:19.14] | I like being near her. |
| [01:21.91] | When I came here, |
| [01:22.94] | I planned to take a few months off. |
| [01:25.99] | Relax with the family and then look for some work. |
| [01:30.31] | Put my experience on the line ... |
| [01:33.12] | but, unfortunately, |
| [01:34.53] | there isn't any work for a retired person my age. |
| [01:37.80] | Sometimes there is, |
| [01:38.56] | and sometimes there isn't. |
| [01:40.82] | Well, I'm involved with an organization, |
| [01:42.90] | and we're trying to resolve that problem. |
| [01:46.32] | What's that? |
| [01:47.66] | TOPS. |
| [01:49.08] | T-O-P-S--means Talented Older People's Society. |
| [01:55.23] | I'd like to be a member. |
| [01:57.12] | How much are the dues? |
| [01:58.35] | There are no dues. |
| [02:00.99] | The organization serves major companies in this city. |
| [02:04.34] | Why? |
| [02:05.87] | Because our members are men and women like you. |
| [02:08.24] | Experienced, talented, retired. |
| [02:12.39] | But our members want to go out there |
| [02:14.33] | and use their talents. |
| [02:15.73] | They want to work. |
| [02:18.29] | That is fantastic, John! |
| [02:20.37] | I've got an idea for you, Malcolm. |
| [02:24.29] | Just fill out this form for me. |
| [02:25.77] | It'll only take a few minutes. |
| [02:27.38] | Sit right here, |
| [02:28.36] | and do it while I talk to my secretary. |
| [02:30.37] | When I get back, we'll talk about my new factory. |
| [02:33.97] | My company is a member of TOPS. |
| [02:35.61] | So I try hard to find opportunities for people like you. |
| [02:39.39] | Malcolm. |
| [02:40.73] | And when I see an opportunity, |
| [02:42.10] | I can act on it. |
| [02:44.13] | Well, I can use your brainpower on the job right now. |
| [02:50.21] | Have you got time this morning |
| [02:51.26] | to go over to the construction site with me? |
| [02:53.82] | I'd like to have you meet my foreman-- |
| [02:55.76] | get some background on the job. |
| [02:57.76] | I've got plenty of time. |
| [03:00.01] | I'll be right back. |
| [03:01.51] | We'll go over to the job site together. |
| [03:21.19] | Malcolm, you worked on the Spaceport project? |
| [03:25.49] | My company was the contractor. |
| [03:28.64] | I built the theater there |
| [03:30.88] | with my own two hands, practically. |
| [03:32.71] | I understand. |
| [03:33.61] | Well, |
| [03:33.98] | I'm glad to see you two guys getting along so well |
| [03:37.04] | because, Danny, |
| [03:38.40] | Malcolm is on the TOPS team. |
| [03:39.53] | He's going to be working with you for a while. |
| [03:42.06] | His experience will be valuable to both of us. |
| [03:45.03] | Welcome aboard, Malcolm! |
| [03:46.78] | I'm going back to my office. |
| [03:48.22] | Give me a call later, Malcolm. |
| [03:49.64] | I'll tell you the time and date of the next TOPS meeting. |
| [03:52.71] | I'd like you to meet the group. |
| [03:53.92] | I will, John. |
| [03:55.10] | And again--thanks. |
| [03:56.87] | No ... thank you. |
| [03:59.15] | And thank Susan. |
| [04:03.30] | He's quite a man. |
| [04:04.94] | A real inspiration for me. |
| [04:08.29][04:07.02] | OK, Danny. |
| [04:10.45] | I know you didn't expect to have me around, |
| [04:10.97] | but I think I can be of some help to you. |
| [04:13.58] | Let me tell you something, Malcolm. |
| [04:15.00] | With your background and experience, |
| [04:16.20] | I can learn something |
| [04:17.45] | ... and I do need some advice on a difficult problem. |
| [04:19.65] | Let me show you this. |
| [04:24.65] | I don't want to give you a final opinion |
| [04:28.36] | without studying these building plans more carefully. |
| [04:32.01] | But a simple solution might be |
| [04:35.65] | to move the air-conditioning units |
| [04:37.50] | instead of redesigning the entire system. |
| [04:40.50] | It might be simpler and less expensive . |
| [04:44.78] | You just earned your weight in gold, Malcolm. |
| [04:47.86] | Welcome aboard! |
| [04:52.76] | It all happened so quickly! |
| [04:54.79] | I can't believe it! |
| [04:56.53] | I'm glad Mr. Marchetta was so helpful. |
| [04:58.94] | He was more than helpful. |
| [05:00.36] | He actually took me to meet his foreman. |
| [05:03.70] | I'm thrilled for you, Grandpa. |
| [05:06.32] | I don't know how to thank you, Susan. |
| [05:09.42] | You're a wonderful granddaughter. |
| [05:11.74] | It's good to see you so happy. |
| [05:13.76] | I'll be at the construction site tomorrow. |
| [05:16.32] | What are you doing tomorrow night? |
| [05:17.85] | I'm not doing anything. |
| [05:18.80] | Why? |
| [05:20.24] | How about a date with your grandfather? |
| [05:22.18] | I owe you a good steak dinner. |
| [05:25.17] | I'll accept. |
| [05:26.80] | Tomorrow night. |
| [05:27.73] | You and me. Dinner. |
| [05:29.50] | What time? |
| [05:31.07] | I'll pick you up here at seven . |
| [05:32.96] | Is that OK? |
| [05:34.26] | I can't wait! |
| [05:35.46] | And you can tell me |
| [05:36.31] | all about your first full day back on the job. |
| [05:39.32] | It's a deal! |
