| [00:14.20] | Hi, Mom. |
| [00:15.61] | Hi, Robbie. |
| [00:16.24] | You're home from school early. |
| [00:17.58] | Yeah, they're getting the assembly hall |
| [00:19.18] | ready for the graduation ceremony, |
| [00:20.98] | so we all got to go home early. |
| [00:22.69] | Too noisy to study. |
| [00:24.14] | Well, now that you're here, |
| [00:25.24] | you can help me with dinner. |
| [00:26.32] | I need those potatoes peeled and sliced. |
| [00:30.70] | Mom, give me a break. |
| [00:32.54] | Alexandra's coming over to help me |
| [00:34.21] | study for my math final. |
| [00:36.24] | Well, in that case, |
| [00:38.26] | you can wash the dishes and clean up after dinner. |
| [00:43.48] | Can I invite Alexandra to stay for dinner? |
| [00:45.77] | Of course. |
| [00:47.34] | Thanks, Mom. |
| [00:52.14] | You and Alexandra |
| [00:52.99] | have become good friends, haven't you? |
| [00:55.23] | Yes. I like her. |
| [00:56.72] | She's a terrific person. |
| [01:01.26] | I'm going to miss her |
| [01:01.93] | when she goes back to Greece. |
| [01:05.31] | Would you like to give her a little farewell party? |
| [01:09.42] | Mom, that would be terrific! |
| [01:11.88] | Maybe we could make it a surprise. |
| [01:14.34] | Oh, I don't know. |
| [01:15.49] | Surprise parties don't always work out. |
| [01:19.07] | Well, we could tell her |
| [01:20.94] | it's a graduation party for me. |
| [01:23.18] | When Alexandra arrives, |
| [01:24.90] | we'll surprise her. |
| [01:27.30] | Well, I suppose that might work. |
| [01:29.72] | I'd like to give her a nice going-away present. |
| [01:32.67] | Fine. |
| [01:33.97] | There's only one problem. |
| [01:36.74] | What's that? |
| [01:39.79] | I'm broke. |
| [01:41.08] | I should have saved some money. |
| [01:43.10] | I'm sure Alexandra |
| [01:44.15] | would be happy with something simple, Robbie. |
| [01:46.63] | I know. |
| [01:48.27] | But, well, |
| [01:49.53] | I'd like to give her something nice |
| [01:51.06] | to remember me by. |
| [01:53.83] | Maybe I could borrow some money from you and Dad. |
| [01:58.18] | It's all right with me |
| [01:59.09] | if it's all right with your dad. |
| [02:01.21] | Thanks, Mom. |
| [02:01.79] | I'll talk to him. |
| [02:03.24] | Is he still in his office? |
| [02:04.42] | I think so. |
| [02:06.17] | Thanks, Mom. |
| [02:12.31] | Robbie! Good luck! Robbie! |
| [02:32.62] | Here are the X-rays you wanted, Dr. Stewart. |
| [02:34.07] | Oh. Thank you, Molly. |
| [02:36.91] | Now, let me check them. |
| [02:50.38] | What do you think? |
| [02:52.29] | I don't see any breaks or fractures. |
| [02:55.47] | Well, well. Thank you, Molly. |
| [02:59.50] | Thank you. |
| [03:15.36] | Come in! |
| [03:17.66] | Hi, Son. |
| [03:18.33] | Hi, Dad. Am I interrupting you? |
| [03:21.53] | No, no, no, no. |
| [03:23.39] | What's up? |
| [03:24.11] | Can we talk? |
| [03:25.91] | Sure. |
| [03:27.53] | I need some help. |
| [03:30.63] | Well, that's what fathers are for. |
| [03:32.89] | Well, before I go to college, |
| [03:36.44] | I have the whole summer ... |
| [03:37.02] | Yes ... |
| [03:37.54] | And I'm planning to get a job for the summer. |
| [03:40.91] | And what sort of job? |
| [03:42.68] | I applied for a job as a lifeguard at the community pool. |
| [03:46.98] | Sounds pretty good. |
| [03:48.37] | Yes. I'll be earning pretty good money if I get it. |
| [03:51.57] | But right now, I'm kind of short of cash. |
| [03:56.25] | Who isn't? |
| [03:57.56] | And my friend Alexandra is going back to Greece ... |
| [04:01.27] | Nice girl. |
| [04:03.31] | We'll all miss her. |
| [04:04.41] | Mom says we can give her a going-away surprise party. |
| [04:07.95] | Good idea. |
| [04:09.39] | And I'd like to get her a nice gift ... |
| [04:13.26] | What'd you have in mind? |
| [04:14.93] | Well, a wristwatch, |
| [04:17.46] | so she'll think of me when she looks at the time. |
| [04:20.93] | Nothing flashy or expensive. |
| [04:23.33] | Something simple--but a good one. |
| [04:26.82] | Sounds fine, Robbie. |
| [04:28.70] | Well, I saw a nice watch. |
| [04:31.27] | But I'll need a loan. |
| [04:33.13] | If you could lend me the money, |
| [04:34.32] | I could pay you back out of my lifeguard salary. |
| [04:38.25] | Well, I guess your mother and I can manage it. |
| [04:45.10] | When do you need the money? |
| [04:46.98] | Would tomorrow be OK? |
| [04:50.80] | You've got it. |
| [04:52.99] | Thanks, Dad. |
| [04:54.84] | My pleasure, Son. |
| [04:57.28] | Oh, and, Robbie ... |
| [04:59.44] | Yes? |
| [05:00.81] | You'll probably want the family car |
| [05:03.15] | so you can drive her home after the party. |
| [05:06.38] | Could I? |
| [05:12.83] | If you drive carefully. |
| [05:15.19] | I will. Thanks, Dad. |
| [05:17.25] | My pleasure. |
| [05:19.80] | You're OK, Dad. |
| [05:23.36] | You're not so bad yourself, Son. |
