| [00:01.44] | Hi, big guy. |
| [00:06.59] | That must be Rita Mae. |
| [00:08.80] | She sure got here quickly. |
| [00:10.07] | That's a good sign. |
| [00:11.08] | She must like you and your work, Marilyn. |
| [00:12.98] | I think she's just anxious to see Max. |
| [00:14.72] | She loves children. |
| [00:25.55] | Hi, Marilyn. |
| [00:28.97] | Welcome. |
| [00:31.15] | It's so nice of you to come. |
| [00:32.60] | Oh, I just wanted to see your baby, Max. |
| [00:36.20] | Hello, Rita Mae. |
| [00:37.49] | I haven't seen you since the hospital. |
| [00:38.82] | I'm Ellen Stewart, Marilyn's mother-in-law. |
| [00:41.52] | We met at the hospital. |
| [00:42.77] | Hello. |
| [00:43.13] | How are you? |
| [00:43.85] | I remember. |
| [00:44.41] | How are you? |
| [00:45.00] | Oh, and there is Max! |
| [00:48.26] | Oh! My, how he's grown! |
| [00:54.50] | A little present for Max. |
| [00:56.46] | Oh, it's beautiful, Rita Mae! |
| [01:01.13] | You shouldn't have. |
| [01:01.85] | It's nothing. |
| [01:02.55] | It's just a little present for Max. |
| [01:03.83] | Can I get you some coffee or tea or a cold drink, Rita Mae? |
| [01:06.64] | Oh, nothing, thank you. |
| [01:08.81] | Well, I will leave you two to talk. |
| [01:12.44] | Come on, you big guy. |
| [01:14.03] | Yes, come on. |
| [01:16.11] | That's it. |
| [01:16.66] | It's nice seeing you. |
| [01:18.20] | Let me know if you need anything. |
| [01:19.76] | Thanks, Ellen. |
| [01:25.41] | OK, Marilyn. |
| [01:26.76] | You sounded like you've made a decision |
| [01:28.64] | when you called me. |
| [01:29.91] | I'm all ears. |
| [01:30.65] | I have made a decision, Rita Mae. |
| [01:32.30] | I've decided to stay at home and be a full-time mother. |
| [01:35.96] | I'm disappointed, but I respect your decision. |
| [01:39.14] | If I had a child as cute as Max, , |
| [01:41.01] | I might do the same thing. |
| [01:42.50] | But I haven't finished telling you |
| [01:44.50] | the other half of my decision. |
| [01:45.32] | The other half? |
| [01:47.99] | Yes. |
| [01:48.34] | I think I can stay at home |
| [01:49.91] | and take care of Max and continue my career. |
| [01:53.23] | Sounds interesting. |
| [01:55.15] | Let me hear it. |
| [01:57.39] | Do you remember |
| [01:58.01] | our talks about custom-designed dresses for the boutique? |
| [02:00.66] | I sure do. |
| [02:02.45] | Why can't I design dresses for you here at home? ? |
| [02:06.69] | And make them here. |
| [02:08.33] | Have the fittings here, too. |
| [02:10.29] | And I could do the selling and the pricing at the boutique. |
| [02:13.05] | Exactly. |
| [02:14.31] | Oh! ! |
| [02:15.52] | What kind of dresses would you design? |
| [02:18.65] | I've thought about that for some time. |
| [02:21.74] | Yes? |
| [02:24.26] | Wedding dresses. |
| [02:28.05] | Brilliant idea! |
| [02:29.23] | There's a big market today in wedding dresses. |
| [02:32.04] | That's what I thought. |
| [02:33.07] | I like the idea very much. |
| [02:35.10] | And if it's successful, |
| [02:36.43] | we can expand to all kinds of dresses. |
| [02:38.90] | That's what I thought. |
| [02:41.27] | As a matter of fact, |
| [02:42.78] | I have a customer for your first wedding dress. |
| [02:45.57] | My niece is getting married, |
| [02:47.00] | and I've been trying to find just the right thing for her. |
| [02:50.11] | Marilyn, you're going to design my niece's dress. Marilyn, |
| [02:53.42] | That'll be our first one, , |
| [02:54.72] | and then we'll use it to sell others. |
| [02:57.82] | Do you really mean it? |
| [02:58.72] | I really mean it. |
| [03:00.18] | It's a simple idea, and it will work. |
| [03:03.32] | You can certainly design dresses. |
| [03:05.05] | I know that. |
| [03:06.01] | And there's no reason why you can't do it from your home. |
| [03:09.39] | I'm so excited! |
| [03:10.78] | I can't wait to tell Richard! |
| [03:13.47] | If I had a baby like Max, |
| [03:15.51] | I'd want to stay home and be near him all the time, too. |
| [03:19.00] | You're making the right decision |
| [03:20.50] | for Max and for yourself too, Marilyn. |
| [03:23.58] | It all sounds so easy. |
| [03:25.47] | Now the hard work begins. |
| [03:28.50] | Would you like |
| [03:28.91] | to see some of my designs that I've been working on? |
| [03:30.92] | I'd love to. |
| [03:32.77] | Ooh! Oh, that's wonderful! |
| [03:38.63] | Ooh ... |
