[00:00.01]22-1Career Choices ACT I [00:00.32]Rock-a-bye, baby, on the tree top, [00:07.46]When the wind blows, [00:10.05]The cradle will rock. [00:13.80]When the bough breaks, [00:17.04]The cradle will fall, [00:21.14]And down will come baby, [00:25.72]Cradle and all." [00:40.74]Hi, Marilyn, [00:42.75]What are you doing? [00:46.43]Just sketching. [00:53.51]I've been thinking a lot about our responsibilities [00:56.13]in the past few weeks. [00:57.49]I never stop thinking about them. [01:00.86]I've been wrestling [01:02.08]with the question of whether I go back to work or not. [01:04.62]I see. [01:05.42]And I'm torn. [01:06.31]I really want to go back to work, [01:09.19]use my talents, [01:10.50]and pursue my career in fashion design [01:12.46]like we always thought I would. [01:13.53]But now ... [01:15.30]I want to be with Max as a full-time mother, [01:18.81]especially when he's a baby. [01:21.81]I really understand, Marilyn. [01:23.26]But you never have to worry about Max. [01:25.81]There's Mother and Grandpa ... [01:27.38]and I can always arrange my photo schedule [01:29.38]around your schedule, [01:30.36]if that will help. [01:33.85]It's not the same, Richard. [01:38.64]Have you discussed going back to work with your boss? [01:41.95]Rita Mae called yesterday. [01:43.96]Ah! That's what's got you thinking, isn't it? [01:47.93]She wants to know [01:48.71]when I think I'll be returning to the boutique. [01:51.11]And you said ... ? [01:53.13]I said I'd give her an answer in a few days ... [01:56.80]that I wasn't sure. [01:59.07]I'm sure Rita Mae will understand [02:01.35]and wait until you're ready to go back to work. [02:04.27]Well, maybe she will, and maybe she won't. [02:06.23]Who knows? [02:08.62]If I don't accept her offer, [02:10.82]maybe she'll find someone else in the meantime, [02:12.78]and when I'm ready to go back, [02:14.00]there won't be a job for me. [02:15.53]That's something to consider. [02:17.65]You've got yourself to think about, too. [02:20.04]But I am thinking about myself. [02:21.72]Don't you see? [02:22.68]What do you mean? [02:24.81]It's not just the job. [02:27.08]It's also my career as Max's mother. [02:35.58]That's the way I look at it. [02:37.87]I have two career opportunities at the same time. [02:41.36]My career as a fashion designer [02:42.77]and my career as a mother. [02:44.82]I never really thought about being a mother as a career. [02:51.43]I guess you do have two career opportunities [02:54.41]and a decision to make. [02:58.19]I hear Max. [02:59.62]I'll go to him. [03:00.32]No, that's OK. [03:01.64]I'll do it.
