[00:00.01] 24-1 Parting Friends ACT I
[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.
