[00:01.44]Hi, big guy.
[00:06.59]That must be Rita Mae.
[00:08.80]She sure got here quickly.
[00:10.07]That's a good sign.
[00:11.08]She must like you and your work, Marilyn.
[00:12.98]I think she's just anxious to see Max.
[00:14.72]She loves children.
[00:25.55]Hi, Marilyn.
[00:28.97]Welcome.
[00:31.15]It's so nice of you to come.
[00:32.60]Oh, I just wanted to see your baby, Max.
[00:36.20]Hello, Rita Mae.
[00:37.49]I haven't seen you since the hospital.
[00:38.82]I'm Ellen Stewart, Marilyn's mother-in-law.
[00:41.52]We met at the hospital.
[00:42.77]Hello.
[00:43.13]How are you?
[00:43.85]I remember.
[00:44.41]How are you?
[00:45.00]Oh, and there is Max!
[00:48.26]Oh! My, how he's grown!
[00:54.50]A little present for Max.
[00:56.46]Oh, it's beautiful, Rita Mae!
[01:01.13]You shouldn't have.
[01:01.85]It's nothing.
[01:02.55]It's just a little present for Max.
[01:03.83]Can I get you some coffee or tea or a cold drink, Rita Mae?
[01:06.64]Oh, nothing, thank you.
[01:08.81]Well, I will leave you two to talk.
[01:12.44]Come on, you big guy.
[01:14.03]Yes, come on.
[01:16.11]That's it.
[01:16.66]It's nice seeing you.
[01:18.20]Let me know if you need anything.
[01:19.76]Thanks, Ellen.
[01:25.41]OK, Marilyn.
[01:26.76]You sounded like you've made a decision
[01:28.64]when you called me.
[01:29.91]I'm all ears.
[01:30.65]I have made a decision, Rita Mae.
[01:32.30]I've decided to stay at home and be a full-time mother.
[01:35.96]I'm disappointed, but I respect your decision.
[01:39.14]If I had a child as cute as Max, ,
[01:41.01]I might do the same thing.
[01:42.50]But I haven't finished telling you
[01:44.50]the other half of my decision.
[01:45.32]The other half?
[01:47.99]Yes.
[01:48.34]I think I can stay at home
[01:49.91]and take care of Max and continue my career.
[01:53.23]Sounds interesting.
[01:55.15]Let me hear it.
[01:57.39]Do you remember
[01:58.01]our talks about custom-designed dresses for the boutique?
[02:00.66]I sure do.
[02:02.45]Why can't I design dresses for you here at home? ?
[02:06.69]And make them here.
[02:08.33]Have the fittings here, too.
[02:10.29]And I could do the selling and the pricing at the boutique.
[02:13.05]Exactly.
[02:14.31]Oh! !
[02:15.52]What kind of dresses would you design?
[02:18.65]I've thought about that for some time.
[02:21.74]Yes?
[02:24.26]Wedding dresses.
[02:28.05]Brilliant idea!
[02:29.23]There's a big market today in wedding dresses.
[02:32.04]That's what I thought.
[02:33.07]I like the idea very much.
[02:35.10]And if it's successful,
[02:36.43]we can expand to all kinds of dresses.
[02:38.90]That's what I thought.
[02:41.27]As a matter of fact,
[02:42.78]I have a customer for your first wedding dress.
[02:45.57]My niece is getting married,
[02:47.00]and I've been trying to find just the right thing for her.
[02:50.11]Marilyn, you're going to design my niece's dress. Marilyn,
[02:53.42]That'll be our first one, ,
[02:54.72]and then we'll use it to sell others.
[02:57.82]Do you really mean it?
[02:58.72]I really mean it.
[03:00.18]It's a simple idea, and it will work.
[03:03.32]You can certainly design dresses.
[03:05.05]I know that.
[03:06.01]And there's no reason why you can't do it from your home.
[03:09.39]I'm so excited!
[03:10.78]I can't wait to tell Richard!
[03:13.47]If I had a baby like Max,
[03:15.51]I'd want to stay home and be near him all the time, too.
[03:19.00]You're making the right decision
[03:20.50]for Max and for yourself too, Marilyn.
[03:23.58]It all sounds so easy.
[03:25.47]Now the hard work begins.
[03:28.50]Would you like
[03:28.91]to see some of my designs that I've been working on?
[03:30.92]I'd love to.
[03:32.77]Ooh! Oh, that's wonderful!
[03:38.63]Ooh ...
