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. |
