[00:00.01]20-1 Quality Time ACT I [00:03.84]Where's Mom? [00:05.25]She went to a school-board meeting. [00:08.22]I don't know how she does it. [00:09.41]She sure keeps busy. [00:11.22]It's important to her. [00:13.85]There are lots of places to go, [00:15.56]lots of things to do. [00:17.87]She can't sit around and do nothing. [00:20.46]Philip works late. [00:22.53]I guess you're right. [00:24.69]I wish I had her energy. [00:27.92]Anybody home? [00:29.04]We're in here, Dad. [00:32.11]Oh. Hi, gang. [00:34.39]Hello, Philip. [00:35.33]How was your day? [00:37.26]My day was just fine. [00:39.75]So was my night. [00:41.15]It's almost ten o'clock. [00:42.74]Mmm. I'm starving. [00:45.10]Um ... where's Mom? [00:47.08]She went to a school-board meeting. [00:48.85]There's a note for you on the refrigerator. [00:51.89]Oh? [01:28.78]Did you have dinner, Robbie? [01:29.81]Yeah. [01:30.63]Mike and I had a hamburger at the diner. [01:32.52]I came home a little while ago. [01:35.09]You've been working late [01:36.09]almost every night this week, Dad. [01:37.71]Aren't you exhausted? [01:40.30]I don't have time to be exhausted. [01:42.77]You and Mom haven't had dinner together with us [01:44.90]in almost a full week. [01:46.66]Yeah, [01:47.85]I feel bad [01:48.50]about us not having dinner with the family, [01:49.89]but our schedules are so different. [01:52.75]Either I'm at the hospital doing paperwork, [01:54.56]or Mom is at a committee meeting. [01:57.09]I frankly don't know what to do about it. [02:01.33]I'm worried about you and Mom. [02:03.65]You really have been working too hard. [02:06.36]Well, [02:07.20]I think I've had enough of that sandwich. [02:08.99]You didn't finish it. [02:14.06]It's not good to eat before going to bed. [02:17.97]A cookie can't hurt, though. [02:19.43]Well, [02:21.89]I'm heading off for bed [02:22.84]and a good night's sleep. [02:25.56]Well, good night. [02:26.96]Good night, Son. [02:30.24]Good night, Dad. [02:30.76]I'm going to bed. [02:32.10]Good night, Philip. [02:34.41]Haven't you finished balancing that checkbook? [02:36.43]I found another mistake. [02:39.36]I'll be off to bed myself in a minute. [02:41.59]OK. Good night. [02:51.69]I'm really concerned about them, [02:53.00]Grandpa. [02:54.38]Concerned about whom? [02:56.02]About Mom and Dad. [02:58.02]They hardly ever see each other. [03:00.39]Dad often works late, [03:02.08]and Mom has all these committees she's on. [03:04.69]What do you propose to do about it? [03:07.21]You have that look in your eye. [03:09.58]I don't know, [03:10.95]but there must be a way [03:12.34]of getting them to spend more time together. [03:14.92]Quality time.
