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. |
