[00:00.01]20-3 ACT III [00:08.30]I love my school. I have so many good friends there now. [00:11.78]I wouldn't miss a day even if I were really sick. [00:15.13]Come and sit down for a minute, Michelle. [00:20.53]I'd like to talk to you about something. [00:23.58]Something important. [00:25.94]What's wrong, Susan? [00:27.33]Oh, there's nothing wrong, Michelle. [00:29.15]But your daddy and I are talking about something [00:31.05]that I'd like your opinion about. [00:33.59]I know. I heard you talking about it [00:36.76]the other night when I was trying on my new clothes. [00:39.59]It's about moving to Los Angeles. [00:42.87]You're right. How do you feel about it? [00:47.17]Well, I really wouldn't want to move, but ... [00:52.28]But? [00:54.32]But if you and Daddy wanted to, [00:56.37]I guess you know what's best for the family and for me. [01:00.36]That's very considerate of you, Michelle. [01:02.39]But what about your friends? [01:04.21]I'd miss them a lot, [01:06.19]but I know what it feels like to miss someone. [01:09.51]Honey, we don't have to move [01:12.41]if you're not going to be happy about it. [01:14.19]Does Daddy want to move? [01:16.06]I think so. He's going to tell us tonight about the job offer. [01:25.68]Well, how was everybody's day today? [01:29.76]Michelle was chosen to do [01:31.51]the school poster for the play this year. [01:33.61]Congratulations, Michelle! That's something! [01:37.00]And how was your day, Susan? [01:39.28]I see you're in a good mood. [01:41.38]Why don't you tell us about your day. [01:44.65]I met with Bill York. [01:47.44]It's OK to talk about it, Harry. [01:49.47]Michelle knows all about it. [01:51.47]Really? [01:52.83]Really, Harry. [01:54.61]Michelle and I have all kinds of feelings [01:56.60]about leaving New York, the family, and friends. [01:59.83]But if you think you should take the job, we're behind you. [02:04.99]What about Michelle's school? [02:06.40]We'll move after the school term. [02:09.15]What about her new friends? [02:10.93]I'll make new friends wherever we are as long as we're together. [02:17.07]We're a family, Harry. [02:18.89]Whatever you think is right for you is right for us. [02:23.12]I am so touched. The two of you are really something. [02:28.69]We love you, Daddy. [02:30.79]And I love you. [02:32.80]OK. Now, tell us about your talk with Mr. York. [02:37.41]Did you take the job? [02:38.28]Nope. [02:39.27]What? [02:40.68]No? You didn't take it? [02:42.83]No, I did not take the job. [02:45.75]But, Daddy, I thought ... [02:47.25]Harry, you didn't turn it down because of me ... [02:48.88]Or me? [02:50.15]No, no. I turned it down because of me. [02:53.56]How's that? [02:54.42]Well, I began to think about you and about Michelle, [02:59.16]and then I asked myself, [03:00.48]do I really want to work for the biggest company in the country? [03:04.46]And? [03:05.82]And I don't. [03:07.16]I went into business for myself [03:08.55]because I like being my own boss. [03:11.92]I run my own company. I'm a big fish in a little pond. [03:15.96]I'm not really sure I want to be a little fish in a big pond. [03:18.36]Oh, Daddy, does that mean we don't have to move? [03:22.21]That's right, sweetheart. [03:24.34]Are you sure? [03:26.51]I couldn't be more sure, Susan. [03:29.94]I'm glad if you are, Harry. [03:32.02]And besides, [03:33.31]how could I live in Los Angeles [03:35.43]when all my favorite people live here? [03:38.07]Your favorite people? [03:39.69]Who's that? [03:41.37]The Stewart family, of course.
