| [00:00.32] | Rock-a-bye, baby, on the tree top, |
| [00:07.46] | When the wind blows, |
| [00:10.05] | The cradle will rock. |
| [00:13.80] | When the bough breaks, |
| [00:17.04] | The cradle will fall, |
| [00:21.14] | And down will come baby, |
| [00:25.72] | Cradle and all." |
| [00:40.74] | Hi, Marilyn, |
| [00:42.75] | What are you doing? |
| [00:46.43] | Just sketching. |
| [00:53.51] | I've been thinking a lot about our responsibilities |
| [00:56.13] | in the past few weeks. |
| [00:57.49] | I never stop thinking about them. |
| [01:00.86] | I've been wrestling |
| [01:02.08] | with the question of whether I go back to work or not. |
| [01:04.62] | I see. |
| [01:05.42] | And I'm torn. |
| [01:06.31] | I really want to go back to work, |
| [01:09.19] | use my talents, |
| [01:10.50] | and pursue my career in fashion design |
| [01:12.46] | like we always thought I would. |
| [01:13.53] | But now ... |
| [01:15.30] | I want to be with Max as a full-time mother, |
| [01:18.81] | especially when he's a baby. |
| [01:21.81] | I really understand, Marilyn. |
| [01:23.26] | But you never have to worry about Max. |
| [01:25.81] | There's Mother and Grandpa ... |
| [01:27.38] | and I can always arrange my photo schedule |
| [01:29.38] | around your schedule, |
| [01:30.36] | if that will help. |
| [01:33.85] | It's not the same, Richard. |
| [01:38.64] | Have you discussed going back to work with your boss? |
| [01:41.95] | Rita Mae called yesterday. |
| [01:43.96] | Ah! That's what's got you thinking, isn't it? |
| [01:47.93] | She wants to know |
| [01:48.71] | when I think I'll be returning to the boutique. |
| [01:51.11] | And you said ... ? |
| [01:53.13] | I said I'd give her an answer in a few days ... |
| [01:56.80] | that I wasn't sure. |
| [01:59.07] | I'm sure Rita Mae will understand |
| [02:01.35] | and wait until you're ready to go back to work. |
| [02:04.27] | Well, maybe she will, and maybe she won't. |
| [02:06.23] | Who knows? |
| [02:08.62] | If I don't accept her offer, |
| [02:10.82] | maybe she'll find someone else in the meantime, |
| [02:12.78] | and when I'm ready to go back, |
| [02:14.00] | there won't be a job for me. |
| [02:15.53] | That's something to consider. |
| [02:17.65] | You've got yourself to think about, too. |
| [02:20.04] | But I am thinking about myself. |
| [02:21.72] | Don't you see? |
| [02:22.68] | What do you mean? |
| [02:24.81] | It's not just the job. |
| [02:27.08] | It's also my career as Max's mother. |
| [02:35.58] | That's the way I look at it. |
| [02:37.87] | I have two career opportunities at the same time. |
| [02:41.36] | My career as a fashion designer |
| [02:42.77] | and my career as a mother. |
| [02:44.82] | I never really thought about being a mother as a career. |
| [02:51.43] | I guess you do have two career opportunities |
| [02:54.41] | and a decision to make. |
| [02:58.19] | I hear Max. |
| [02:59.62] | I'll go to him. |
| [03:00.32] | No, that's OK. |
| [03:01.64] | I'll do it. |
