| At a lake in upstate New York the next morning. Grandpa, Philip, and Robbie are preparing to fish. | |
| Robbie: | This is really neat! When do we eat? |
| Philip: | First, we have to catch some fish. In order to catch fish, you have to do this. [He prepares the fishing line.] Here we go. That's it. Then drop it into the water. All of this comes before eating. OK? |
| Robbie: | How do you know so much about fishing? |
| Philip: | Grandpa taught me. We spent a lot of time fishing together. Now, the important thing is to get the hook close to the fish. All right? Like this. [He puts his fishing line into the water.] |
| Robbie: | I think I see some fish right under us, Dad. |
| Philip: | Oh, not a chance! |
| Robbie: | I just saw a big one! [A young boy arrives with a fishing rod.] |
| Grandpa: | Hi, there. |
| Albert: | Hi. |
| Grandpa: | What's your name? |
| Albert: | Albert. |
| Grandpa: | Are you all alone? |
| Albert: | Yes, sir. |
| Grandpa: | How old are you, Albert? |
| Albert: | I'm ten. |
| Philip: | Where's your father? |
| Albert: | He's up there at the lodge. |
| Philip: | Does he know you're here? |
| Albert: | Yes, sir. |
| Philip: | OK, Robbie, maybe you should watch him. The water's pretty deep here. |
| Robbie: | I'll watch him, Dad. |
| A little while later. They are still fishing. | |
| Robbie: | What time is it? |
| Grandpa: | It's almost lunchtime, and no fish yet. |
| Robbie: | I can go up to the lodge for some hot dogs and drinks. |
| Philip: | No way! We're here to catch our lunch. |
| Grandpa: | To catch fish, you need the right magic. |
| Philip: | That's right. I forgot! The right magic. Do it for Robbie, Dad. |
| Grandpa: | You remember? |
| Philip: | Sure. Come on. |
| Grandpa: | Well, first, you have to turn your hat around like this. Then you close your eyes and say the magic words. Fish, fish, send me a fish. |
| Robbie: | [He closes his eyes.] Fish, fish, send me a fish. ... I got one! |
| Grandpa: | See, it works. |
| Robbie: | It's a big one! |
| Philip: | Well, it always worked for me, too. |
| Robbie: | Grandpa, get the net, please! [Grandpa gets the net, and Robbie finally catches the fish.] |
| Robbie: | Dad, you got one, too! |
| Philip: | You bet I have! [Philip brings up a boot from the water.] |
| Grandpa: | Easy, Philip, easy. |
| Robbie: | Sorry, Dad. |
| Philip: | Well, one more and I've got a pair of boots. |
| Robbie: | You didn't say the magic words. |
| Grandpa: | Robbie's right. |
| Philip: | Yes, but you did, and we've got our lunch. Let's build a fire and cook it! Come on, Albert, you can help us! |
| Albert: | I want to stay here and fish. |
| Grandpa: | All right, but be careful. |
| A little later. Grandpa, Philip, and Robbie are around their campfire. | |
| Robbie: | Is it finished yet? |
| Philip: | I think so. I hope you like your fish well done. |
| Grandpa: | Burned, you mean. |
| Philip: | Hey, I'm a doctor, not a chef. [They hear Albert calling from the lake.] |
| Albert: | Help! Help! I can't swim! |
| Robbie: | Dad! Grandpa! He fell in! [Robbie and Philip rush to save Albert. They pull him from the water and place him on the dock.] |
| Philip: | Easy does it, Robbie. That a boy. That's it. |
| Grandpa: | He's not breathing, Philip! |
| Philip: | Robbie, run to the car! Bring a blanket and my medical bag. |
| Robbie: | Yes, Dad. [Philip slowly breathes into the boy's mouth.] |
| Philip: | Now, come on , son. Come on, son. |
| Grandpa: | Breathe, Albert! |
