[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.
