Episode 09: It's Up to You ACT I |
[00:02.39] |
Who is it? |
[00:03.46] |
Dad. |
[00:05.33] |
Come on in, Dad. |
[00:09.74] |
I thought you might be hungry. |
[00:11.84] |
I brought you a chicken sandwich and a glass of milk. |
[00:14.53] |
I am hungry. |
[00:15.57] |
Thanks, Dad. |
[00:18.51] |
What time is it, anyway? |
[00:22.55] |
Ten o'clock. |
[00:25.89] |
What are you working on? |
[00:27.43] |
I'm writing a story for the high-school paper. |
[00:31.04] |
Can't you finish it tomorrow? |
[00:32.49] |
No, I have to turn it in in the morning. |
[00:36.52] |
What's it about? |
[00:39.24] |
I'm writing an article on the feelings about graduation. |
[00:43.53] |
And ... how do you feel? |
[00:46.49] |
Me? |
[00:48.93] |
A little scared. |
[00:50.61] |
And excited, too. |
[00:54.04] |
I felt the same way. |
[00:55.75] |
The scary part's leaving home and moving to college. |
[00:58.93] |
Oh, leaving home is part of growing up. |
[01:03.95] |
Well, don't work all night. |
[01:07.18] |
I don't mind. |
[01:08.02] |
I enjoy writing. |
[01:09.92] |
Well, |
[01:10.61] |
maybe you should think about becoming a writer. |
[01:12.53] |
Maybe I should. |
[01:14.78] |
You have lots of time to decide. |
[01:17.33] |
That's the worst part--making decisions. |
[01:21.27] |
You'll be OK. |
[01:22.96] |
Good night, Son. |
[01:24.25] |
Good night, Dad. |
[01:35.26] |
"Hail to the victors valiant, |
[01:37.40] |
Hail to the conquering heroes, |
[01:39.58] |
Hail, Hail to Michigan, |
[01:41.99] |
The champions of the West!" |
[01:44.07] |
Ah, good morning, Robbie. |
[01:47.57] |
Good morning, Dad. |
[01:48.74] |
How's my grandson? |
[01:50.22] |
Fine, Grandpa. Fine! |
[01:52.28] |
What's all the cheering about? |
[01:54.03] |
Did the University of Michigan win another football game? |
[01:56.84] |
Better than that. |
[01:58.47] |
Tell him, Philip. |
[01:59.72] |
I just spoke with Charley Rafer. |
[02:02.16] |
Who's Charley Rafer? |
[02:04.18] |
He's the Dean of Admissions for the University of Michigan. |
[02:06.94] |
And it turns out he's a classmate of Philip's. |
[02:09.78] |
We were both on the tennis team. |
[02:12.13] |
Great! |
[02:13.94] |
It is great. |
[02:15.34] |
He's going to be in New York tomorrow |
[02:16.83] |
to interview applicants for admission. |
[02:19.27] |
And he's agreed to fit you into his schedule. |
[02:22.80] |
But I may not want to go to Michigan. |
[02:25.59] |
It's one of the best schools in the country, Robbie. |
[02:28.49] |
I studied medicine there. |
[02:29.78] |
Your grandfather went to the Engineering School there. |
[02:32.82] |
I know that, but ... |
[02:34.50] |
You said you wanted to be a doctor like your father. |
[02:37.26] |
Not exactly. |
[02:39.10] |
You couldn't pick a finer medical school than Michigan. |
[02:42.19] |
Yes, I know that. |
[02:44.06] |
Let's meet with Charley at the university club. |
[02:47.26] |
Ten o'clock tomorrow morning. |
[02:49.59] |
It doesn't mean you're going to Michigan. |
[02:52.70] |
It doesn't mean you have to be a doctor. |
[02:54.93] |
But the interview will be good experience for you. |
[02:58.42] |
In that case, it's OK. |
[03:01.98] |
Dad, growing up means |
[03:04.53] |
making my own decisions, doesn't it? |
[03:07.93] |
You're right, Robbie. |
[03:09.36] |
But, like your Grandpa suggested, |
[03:13.41] |
have the interview. |
[03:15.72] |
And then make your own decision. |
[03:19.82] |
That sounds fine. |
[03:21.52] |
I know it's sudden, Robbie, |
[03:22.72] |
but this is an important opportunity. |
[03:26.35] |
We'll head down there first thing tomorrow morning. |
[03:28.19] |
OK? |
[03:28.88] |
Sure, Dad. |
[03:33.16] |
I want you to know something, Son. |
[03:37.35] |
I'm ... very proud of you. |
[03:41.47] |
Thanks, Dad. |
[03:45.09] |
Well, I've got an appointment at the hospital. |
[03:47.34] |
I'll see you all at dinnertime. |
[03:49.71] |
Bye, Dad. |
[03:52.92] |
Is something still wrong, Robbie? |
[03:58.42] |
I'll be OK. |
[04:01.03] |
Going away to college for the first time |
[04:04.02] |
always makes one a little nervous. |
[04:08.95] |
I guess so. |
[04:10.76] |
I'll be OK. I just need time to think. |
