| [00:47.16] | Hello there, Robbie. |
| [00:49.44] | What are you doing up this late? |
| [00:51.50] | Reading. |
| [00:52.66] | Reading? |
| [00:53.62] | At this hour? |
| [00:54.70] | Ah, come on, Robbie. |
| [00:55.64] | What are you doing up this late? |
| [00:57.80] | Things on my mind. |
| [01:01.37] | Do you care to talk about them? |
| [01:05.01] | Sure, |
| [01:05.42] | if you don't mind listening. |
| [01:07.90] | Robbie, Robbie, remember me? |
| [01:10.72] | I'm your mother. |
| [01:12.50] | If you have something you want to talk about, |
| [01:14.76] | I'm always prepared to listen. |
| [01:17.89] | You haven't been around much lately. |
| [01:21.93] | So that's it. |
| [01:24.35] | OK, let's talk. |
| [01:25.98] | You and Dad are like ships that pass in the night. |
| [01:29.52] | Dad works hard, and he works late. |
| [01:32.27] | You work hard on all your committees, |
| [01:34.03] | and you work late. |
| [01:35.60] | I thought you were proud of the work I do. |
| [01:37.78] | I am, Mom. |
| [01:39.10] | Real proud. |
| [01:40.98] | You are one fantastic mom, |
| [01:42.81] | but ... but I've been noticing |
| [01:47.45] | how little quality time |
| [01:49.04] | you spend with Dad and me ... and the family. |
| [01:57.62] | It's a real problem, Robbie. |
| [01:59.97] | I know it. |
| [02:04.50] | I'm concerned. |
| [02:07.02] | There must be a way |
| [02:08.38] | that Dad and you can spend more time together. |
| [02:12.74] | Well, we always talk about |
| [02:13.73] | taking a vacation together--with the family. |
| [02:18.22] | I think you ought to |
| [02:19.29] | take a vacation away from the family--alone. |
| [02:22.93] | Kind of a second honeymoon. |
| [02:26.22] | It would be wonderful, |
| [02:27.28] | but our schedules won't allow it. |
| [02:29.91] | I think I have an idea. |
| [02:32.91] | You do? |
| [02:33.60] | Yup. |
| [02:34.65] | I think I have an idea |
| [02:36.22] | that will bring Dad and you |
| [02:37.51] | together in a more scheduled way. |
| [02:40.99] | What is it? |
| [02:42.65] | Well, |
| [02:43.17] | you know how Dad is always talking about |
| [02:44.45] | the kids in the ward |
| [02:45.98] | and how important it is for them to be paid attention to? |
| [02:48.82] | Yes. |
| [02:50.13] | Well ... |
| [02:50.65] | and how hard it is |
| [02:51.56] | because the doctors and nurses are so busy? |
| [02:53.81] | Yes. |
| [02:56.14] | Well, how would it be if you took some time |
| [02:58.80] | to work with Dad towards solving that problem? |
| [03:02.62] | I don't get it. |
| [03:03.83] | Like setting up a regular weekly reading program. |
| [03:07.99] | You and Dad. |
| [03:09.34] | You and Dr. Philip Stewart-- |
| [03:11.24] | going to the children's ward once or twice a week |
| [03:14.06] | and reading to them. |
| [03:17.03] | Not bad. |
| [03:18.65] | Not a bad idea, Robbie. |
| [03:20.71] | As a matter of fact, |
| [03:21.86] | it fits right in with something I'm working on right now |
| [03:23.88] | with the school-board committee. |
| [03:25.82] | What's that? |
| [03:27.86] | I've been trying |
| [03:28.79] | to work out a program |
| [03:30.62] | in the public school |
| [03:31.83] | that will bring parents and teachers together once a week |
| [03:35.87] | to read to the students--their own children, really. |
| [03:39.38] | By doing that, it will encourage reading. |
| [03:42.14] | So it might fit in with a program |
| [03:43.59] | for reading to the kids in the hospital. |
| [03:46.98] | You're right. |
| [03:48.27] | We'll do it! |
| [03:49.54] | I'm going to talk to Daddy about it right now. |
| [03:51.81] | But Dad was so exhausted when he came home from work. |
| [03:55.39] | Why don't you talk to him about it tomorrow? |
| [03:58.24] | You are a very smart young man, Robbie. |
| [04:01.69] | I think I'll wait until tomorrow. |
| [04:04.68] | You won't forget, will you? |
| [04:06.22] | Believe me, I won't. |
| [04:07.99] | It is a great idea, |
| [04:09.79] | and I promise you I won't forget. |
| [04:12.39] | Thanks, Mom. |
| [04:13.83] | Thank you, Robbie. |
