At the Stewarts' home in Riverdale that evening. Philip is on the phone with one of his patients. |
Philip: |
And give her a teaspoon of the medicine after every meal. Don't worry. She'll be fine. You're welcome. Goodbye. |
Ellen: |
[She enters.] How are you? |
Philip: |
I'm tired and hungry. |
Ellen: |
Well, Marilyn and Richard called. They'll be here soon, and then we'll eat. |
Philip: |
All right. Is ... is Susan coming? |
Ellen: |
Well, she'll be here later. She has to work late tonight. |
Philip: |
And what's Robbie cooking for dinner? |
Ellen: |
It's a surprise. |
Philip: |
I hope it's pasta. |

Oh, I forgot dessert. |
Philip: |
Robbie! |
Ellen: |
Don't worry. We've got lots of ice cream. [She goes to the refrigerator.] |
Richard: |
Oh, I'd love some ice cream. |
Ellen: |
Well, there's chocolate and coffee and a little vanilla. |
Robbie: |
I'll have vanilla. Is that all right with everyone? |

I'll have chocolate. |
Marilyn: |
Me, too. |
Richard: |
Uh, one scoop of coffee and one scoop of chocolate for me. |
Ellen: |
Robbie, will you help me serve? [Robbie gets up to help. Richard brings the ice cream dishes to Ellen.] |
Richard: |
I keep thinking about that bag of film. Eight rolls. A whole day's work. And good stuff, too. |
Ellen: |
Don't worry, Richard. Someone will find it. [The doorbell rings.] |
Robbie: |
I'll get it. [He opens the door. Alexandra is standing there. She is holding Richard's bag of film.] Hello. |
Alexandra: |
Hello. Does Richard Stewart live here? |
Robbie: |
Yes, he's my brother. I'm Robbie. ... Robbie Stewart. |
Alexandra: |
I'm Alexandra Pappas. How do you do? Your brother left his bag of film on the ferryboat. I found it. |
Robbie: |
I'm really glad to see you. I mean ... my brother'll be really glad to see you! |
Ellen: |
[calling] Robbie! Who is it? |
Robbie: |
It's Richard's film! I mean, Alexandra Pappas. [to Alexandra] Come in, please. |
Richard: |
Alexandra! |
Alexandra: |
Hello, Richard. I found your bag! |
Richard: |
Oh, thank you! Thank you! Um ... Alexandra, let me introduce you. This is my wife Marilyn. |
Alexandra: |
Richard showed me your photo. How do you do? |
Marilyn: |
Oh yes. Richard told us all about you. It's nice to meet you. |
Richard: |
And this is my mother, Ellen Stewart. |
Alexandra: |
How do you do? |
Richard: |
And my father, Dr. Philip Stewart. |
Philip: |
Nice to meet you, Alexandra. |
Richard: |
And ... ah ... you met Robbie. |
Alexandra: |
Yes. And you must be Susan. Hi. |
Susan: |
Hi. Welcome. |
Richard: |
I'm so glad you found the bag and took the time and trouble to return it. |
Alexandra: |
Oh, it was no trouble. I just took the wrong train. |
Ellen: |
Would you like something to eat? |
Alexandra: |
Thank you, no. I'm late for dinner at my house. I really have to go. |
Richard: |
Would you like to call home? |
Alexandra: |
I'd appreciate that. |
Ellen: |
Please, use the phone. |
Alexandra: |
Thanks. Excuse me. |

Thank you. I can only stay a few minutes. |
Ellen: |
Have some iced tea. |
Alexandra: |
Thanks, Mrs. Stewart. |

Yes, a pediatrician. And what does your father do? |
Alexandra: |
He's a lawyer, in Thessaloniki. |

Would you like some pasta? I made it myself. It might be a little cold. |
Alexandra: |
Thanks, no. I do have to go. It was nice meeting you all. |

You're welcome anytime. [She and Richard walk with Alexandra to the front door.] |

Good-bye. |
Richard: |
Can I drive you home? |

Well, you really saved the day for me, Alexandra. |
Alexandra: |
Bye. |
