[00:08.06] You're Tops
[00:17.04] ACT I
[01:07.86] Is that you, Susan?
[01:10.54] It's me, Grandpa.
[01:12.73] Am I glad to see you!
[01:14.50] And am I glad to see you!
[01:17.80] I am also glad to be here.
[01:21.35] How are things?
[01:23.35] I have been talking to a group of salesmen
[01:26.26] since ten this morning,
[01:27.82] and I'm real exhausted.
[01:31.02] Well, you look good.
[01:33.54] What's Harry doing tonight?
[01:34.73] He and Michelle
[01:35.20] are visiting relatives in New Jersey today.
[01:38.19] The rest of our family went to the movies.
[01:40.71] So it's just you and me, Susan.
[01:43.99] It's nice to be alone with you, Grandpa.
[01:46.88] We don't get to see enough of each other.
[01:48.72] Oh, I feel the same way, Susan.
[01:50.87] I miss seeing you.
[01:53.60] But to tell the truth,
[01:55.40] next time
[01:56.65] I'd like to go into the city and meet you there,
[01:58.66] instead of you coming here.
[02:01.97] You don't need to do that, Grandpa.
[02:03.65] Yeah, I do.
[02:05.69] I need to get out more.
[02:09.75] Well, I mean
[02:11.93] there's a lot to do around the house,
[02:14.00] and I love being here with the family,
[02:15.70] you know,
[02:16.43] but I'm restless.
[02:20.85] Since I retired,
[02:22.86] I've got extra time on my hands.
[02:25.82] I understand, Grandpa.
[02:29.11] I think you do.
[02:31.26] Frankly,
[02:32.95] I'd like to use my brain a little more.
[02:36.28] Grandpa,
[02:37.54] you have so much energy and so many years of experience.
[02:42.10] There are probably a lot of places for you to work
[02:45.23] Particularly in the construction field.
[02:48.25] But at my age,
[02:50.29] I'm not looking for a full-time job.
[02:52.92] I'm retired.
[02:56.05] But I'm bored.
[02:57.39] Well, there must be something.
[03:03.03] Maybe I can help.
[03:07.34] Let's go into the kitchen,
[03:09.31] and maybe you can help me set the table.
[03:12.74] Sounds good to me.
[03:14.18] What are we having?
[03:15.31] I prepared lamb chops,
[03:17.51] mashed potatoes, and a tossed green salad to begin with.
[03:20.77] Grandpa, you are a terrific guy!
[03:34.11] You're still thinking about something to do, aren't you?
[03:36.78] A job of some kind.
[03:38.18] That's right.
[03:40.13] I've been thinking about it for weeks now.
[03:44.34] There must be some way to put my mind to good use.
[03:49.33] We'll find a solution.
[03:50.86] A positive solution
[03:52.36] to your finding a way to use that wonderful mind of yours.
