[00:00.23] Full of Surprises
[00:04.56] ACT I
[00:14.67] The mailman just dropped some mail in our box, Grandpa.
[00:17.61] Probably a lot of advertising and bills.
[00:21.28] Why don't you write to me, Robbie,
[00:22.84] so I can get some interesting mail?
[00:46.17] You were right, Grandpa.
[00:48.15] Advertising, bills, bills, advertising.
[00:53.82] Yes. It's just like I said, Robbie.
[00:56.68] Nothing interesting.
[00:58.26] You won't believe it, Grandpa,
[01:00.45] but there's a letter here addressed to you,
[01:02.65] Mr. Malcolm Stewart, and it looks like a personal letter.
[01:05.36] Oh, it must be a bill.
[01:06.90] I don't think so.
[01:08.34] The return name and address is
[01:10.01] Pete Waters, RFD Number 1, Chesterton.
[01:13.56] You're joking. Pete Waters?
[01:17.31] Pete Waters, RFD Number 1, Chesterton.
[01:20.92] You know him?
[01:22.08] Do I know Pete Waters?
[01:24.74] You bet I do!
[01:26.63] He was my roommate in college.
[01:33.89] He visited with Grandma and me in Florida
[01:36.04] about five years ago.
[01:44.68] What does he say?
[01:45.93] Is he OK?
[01:47.97] Yeah, he's fine.
[01:52.49] Just fine.
[01:53.11] He's writing to invite me
[01:53.91] to spend a weekend with him at his farm.
[01:57.31] He's planning a get-together
[01:58.66] with two or three other college friends.
[02:01.57] A kind of a fifty-year anniversary reunion.
[02:06.41] Sounds like fun.
[02:08.55] Fifty years? Wow!
[02:10.78] It sounds like fun to me, too, Robbie.
[02:13.70] What kind of farm does he have?
[02:15.91] I've never been there, Robbie,
[02:18.03] but he has chickens and cows and all.
[02:22.23] That means fresh eggs and fresh milk.
[02:25.15] Does he have a family?
[02:27.22] No, he doesn't, Robbie.
[02:29.17] He never married.
[02:30.89] He's not as lucky as I am
[02:32.92] to have a family and grandchildren.
[02:37.05] I'm a lucky man.
[02:38.91] How come he never got married?
[02:41.39] That's a good question, Robbie.
[02:43.46] A very good question.
[02:45.83] He never married because
[02:47.94] the girl he was in love with in college married someone else.
[02:51.39] As simple as that.
[02:53.27] He never got over it.
[02:55.32] He must have loved her very much.
[02:57.23] Yes. Very much.
[03:00.45] Lillian Winters.
[03:02.25] She was in our class.
[03:03.91] And what happened?
[03:05.46] She was in love with Donald McGrath,
[03:07.95] the quarterback on our football team.
[03:10.43] Football players are always popular with the ladies.
[03:14.28] She liked Pete, and they went to dances together.
[03:18.24] But her heart was with Donald.
[03:20.82] Did he ever get over it?
[03:23.17] No, he never did.
[03:23.56] Where is she today?
[03:26.73] I don't know.
[03:29.07] Maybe Lillian will be at the reunion.
[03:31.46] You think so?
[03:32.92] Pete's full of surprises.
[03:34.85] I wish I could go there with you, Grandpa.
[03:37.26] What do you think the surprise will be?
[03:40.44] With Pete, you never know, Robbie.
[03:43.33] Won't it be exciting to see all your college friends there again?
[03:47.39] It is already.
[03:49.89] I'm kind of excited about going now.
[03:54.79] Next weekend ...
[03:56.55] sleep over Friday and Saturday night
[03:59.69] and come back Sunday.
[04:02.53] I can't wait!
[04:06.37] Don't you think you ought to call Pete
[04:07.89] and tell him you're coming?
[04:09.38] You're reading my mind, Robbie.
