A Place of Our Own |
[00:04.43] |
ACT II |
[00:18.48] |
I remember your parents' first house very well. |
[00:22.23] |
It was on Spring Avenue, near the park. |
[00:25.16] |
I grew up in that house. |
[00:26.60] |
Yes, and you were such a cute baby. |
[00:28.85] |
I've seen pictures of him. |
[00:30.87] |
He had blond hair. |
[00:32.94] |
I've been friendly with the Stewart family |
[00:34.45] |
for a long time, |
[00:35.16] |
so it's my pleasure |
[00:36.29] |
to help you find a house now. |
[00:37.65] |
Well, we're not sure we can afford one. |
[00:39.92] |
But we'd like to find out |
[00:41.22] |
about the possibilities. |
[00:42.21] |
That's a good idea. |
[00:44.22] |
I love your house on Linden Street. |
[00:47.16] |
I sold your father that house seventeen years ago. |
[00:50.12] |
Really? |
[00:50.68] |
Yes, Mom was pregnant with Robbie then, |
[00:52.75] |
and they needed the extra room. |
[00:54.34] |
I hear you're expecting a baby, Mrs. Stewart. |
[00:56.72] |
Mmm-hmm. |
[00:57.32] |
So we will be needing more room. |
[00:59.59] |
Oh, so you don't need something immediately? |
[01:01.18] |
No. But in five or six months ... |
[01:03.70] |
And time passes so quickly. |
[01:05.71] |
Yes, it does. |
[01:07.69] |
Well, when you called, |
[01:08.60] |
you gave me enough information |
[01:10.03] |
about your salaries and your savings. |
[01:12.01] |
So I have a good idea about your financial situation. |
[01:15.07] |
Let me show you some pictures of houses. |
[01:17.35] |
With two bedrooms? |
[01:19.19] |
Yes, I think I can show you some. |
[01:21.19] |
Of course, they won't be in Riverdale. |
[01:23.29] |
The cost of housing's too high for you here. |
[01:26.90] |
I haven't thought about living anywhere else. |
[01:29.87] |
We've always lived in this area. |
[01:32.14] |
Where should we look for a house, Mrs. Martinelli? |
[01:34.48] |
Well, we have an office in Mount Kisco. |
[01:36.40] |
It's a lovely area, |
[01:37.57] |
and it's only about an hour's drive from here. |
[01:40.00] |
Here. |
[01:40.86] |
I have a book with photos of some homes in that area. |
[01:45.41] |
Now, let's see. Here. |
[01:51.21] |
This is a lovely two-bedroom house in your price range. |
[01:55.86] |
It's pretty, |
[01:59.02] |
but I prefer a two-story home. |
[02:01.06] |
I do, too. |
[02:02.28] |
I don't care for a ranch type. |
[02:04.00] |
OK. |
[02:07.84] |
Oh, this is a wonderful house. |
[02:10.34] |
I know it well. |
[02:11.28] |
I sold it to the present owners. |
[02:12.96] |
It looks wonderful. |
[02:14.68] |
This is a two-bedroom, two-bath house. |
[02:16.80] |
It has a full basement, |
[02:18.39] |
and it is on a half-acre lot. |
[02:20.72] |
You can probably afford this one. |
[02:23.63] |
I like this house. |
[02:24.52] |
So do I. |
[02:25.84] |
And the price is right. |
[02:27.69] |
Would you like to go see it? |
[02:28.70] |
Yes. We're planning |
[02:29.86] |
to talk to someone at the bank next week. |
[02:32.25] |
Perhaps we could see the house this weekend. |
[02:34.66] |
If someone doesn't buy it before then, |
[02:36.10] |
But let's keep looking. |
[02:40.41] |
Just to get an idea of some other possibilities. |
[02:42.43] |
This is very helpful, Mrs. Martinelli. |
[02:47.13] |
Here. |
[02:48.01] |
This is a wonderful example of Spanish-style architecture. |
[02:51.49] |
Oh, |
[02:52.40] |
I love the roof tiles on a Spanish-style house. |
[02:55.67] |
It looks like the houses in Hollywood. |
[02:58.78] |
It's interesting. |
[03:00.04] |
A house like this in Riverdale costs double the price. |
[03:12.83] |
Oh my! |
[03:15.62] |
Here's a real buy. |
[03:18.64] |
It's a bargain. |
[03:19.44] |
This house just came on the market. |
[03:22.14] |
It's quite lovely. |
[03:23.06] |
Is it a two-bedroom house? |
[03:24.82] |
No. It has three bedrooms and three baths. |
[03:27.71] |
I know the house. |
[03:29.05] |
It has a brand new kitchen. |
[03:30.47] |
And a living room with a twelve-foot ceiling. |
[03:33.82] |
And there's a two-car garage. |
[03:35.91] |
Then why don't we go look at this house, too? |
[03:37.70] |
It's a good investment. |
[03:40.03] |
Thank you, Mrs. Martinelli. |
[03:41.17] |
Thanks so much. |
[03:42.28] |
My pleasure. |
[03:44.05] |
Give my best to your parents. |
[03:45.97] |
Your father's a wonderful doctor, Richard. |
[03:48.42] |
He took care of my daughter |
[03:50.87] |
when she was a child. |
[03:53.04] |
He's the best pediatrician in Westchester. |
[03:53.41] |
Thanks, Mrs. Martinelli. |
[03:54.25] |
I'll give them your regards. |
[03:55.45] |
We really appreciate your advice. |
[03:57.98] |
I do think you should go see the houses |
[03:59.81] |
and talk to the bank. |
[04:01.28] |
Here. |
[04:01.87] |
Let me give you some information sheets about the houses. |
[04:09.58] |
They're both very good buys. |
[04:12.26] |
Well, thanks so much for your help and your time, |
[04:14.67] |
Mrs. Martinelli. |
[04:16.18] |
We've got a lot to talk about. |
[04:17.72] |
Mmm-hmm. Thanks. |
