[00:00.01]20-2 ACT II [00:08.26]Hello. Hello there. Are you ready for lunch with your grandpa? [00:16.58]Oh! Hi, Grandpa. Yes, of course, I am, but my mind isn't. [00:21.48]What's the matter, Susan? ? [00:22.80]A real dilemma. [00:24.72]Does it have anything to do with you and Harry? [00:27.56]Yes, but I don't know where to start. [00:31.62]Maybe I can help. Tell me what it is, Susan. [00:38.23]Thanks, Grandpa. Please sit down. [00:41.98]Oh! Harry has been offered a job in Los Angeles. [00:47.87]Well, this is something to think about. [00:51.04]There are so many things to consider. There's Michelle. [00:55.92]I wonder if a move would be a bad thing for her. And my job. [01:00.11]I don't know if I can get a good job in Los Angeles. [01:03.29]And what about our family? [01:07.97]Can I tell you what I think? [01:10.01]Tell me. [01:11.98]I think that you're very successful [01:15.49]and that you have a fantastic reputation in the toy industry. [01:19.60]I think you could talk to Mr. Marchetta, [01:23.48]and I think [01:24.37]he could help you find a real good job in Los Angeles. [01:28.73]He was very helpful to me, remember? [01:31.66]I suppose I could call him. [01:34.48]But I'm not so sure that I want to leave New York, [01:37.34]you, and the rest of our family. [01:39.31]Well, I'm not going to kid you, Susan. [01:41.02]You know we'd all miss you. [01:43.59]But this should be your decision. [01:46.99]It's something that only you and Harry can work out. [01:52.97]If moving to L.A. is in Harry's best interest, [01:56.28]I have to do what I can do to support him. [02:00.41]In every marriage, [02:01.88] [02:06.59]And what about Michelle? [02:09.65]Well, what do you think? [02:11.99]I think Michelle is better off staying where she is. [02:15.71]What does she think? [02:17.53]I don't know for sure. [02:19.44]Well, you'll have to ask her. [02:21.18]I think I'm going to have a talk with Mr. Marchetta [02:23.98]and get his feelings about my leaving. [02:26.26]And about helping me find a job in Los Angeles. [02:29.82]Good idea. [02:31.29]I'll call him right now. No point in delaying. [02:34.10]Thanks, Grandpa. [02:45.66]Harry, it's the perfect job for you. You'll love it. [02:50.34]It's a big decision for me, Bill. [02:52.19]And I have to discuss it with my wife. [02:54.66]I don't know if it's right for her. [02:56.12]She'll love it. It's a once-in-a-lifetime offer, Harry. [02:59.84]OK. Tell it to me again. [03:01.58]The company is Craft and Craft, [03:03.99]the biggest accounting company in the country. [03:06.56]I know the company well. It's big. [03:08.30]The biggest. [03:09.51]Yeah, yeah. The biggest. When do I have to let you know? [03:14.94]Talk it over. Think it over. Let me know by the end of the week. [03:18.79]When would we have to move? [03:20.29]As soon as possible. [03:23.11]I also have my daughter to consider. [03:25.75]I don't want to interrupt her school year. [03:28.71]Let me know by the end of the week. [03:30.52]It's a great opportunity for you, Harry. [03:32.14]Believe me. [03:33.05]I know. [03:34.06]Craft and Craft is the biggest in the country. [03:36.84]Yeah, I know. The biggest. [03:51.68]I think Michelle is asleep now. Let's talk. [04:01.64]I met with Bill York today. [04:03.15]And I talked with Mr. Marchetta. Did York make the offer? [04:06.63]Yup. He asked me if I want the job. [04:09.36]That's exciting, Harry. What was it? [04:11.61]A vice-presidency [04:12.92]with the biggest accounting company in the country-- [04:15.08]Craft and Craft. [04:17.11]Aren't you excited about that? [04:18.69]Sure I am. But there's so much more to consider. [04:23.52]I talked to Mr. Marchetta. [04:26.17]What did he say? Did you tell him about me? [04:28.10]Of course, Harry. I want what's best for you, [04:30.87]and I think I can get a good job [04:33.53]through Mr. Marchetta [04:34.65]in Los Angeles also. [04:35.33]You're kidding. [04:36.66]No, I'm not kidding. [04:38.02]I talked with him, and he understands completely. [04:40.76]He has a major toy buyer in Los Angeles, [04:42.99]and he's pretty sure that I can get a good job there. [04:45.89]Unbelievable! ! [04:47.01]But I think we should talk to Michelle about all of this. [04:50.70]You're right. We'll talk to her about it. [04:54.59]And how do you feel about taking the job in Los Angeles? [04:58.39]How should I feel? [04:59.55]It's the biggest company in the country. [05:01.33]Well, then you feel good about taking it? [05:03.90]Well ... I feel fine about it. Why shouldn't I?
