A few minutes later. Robbie returns with Philip's medical bag. Philip is trying to save the boy's life. |
Robbie: |
Here's the bag. Will he be OK, Dad? |
Philip: |
I hope so. [to Albert] That's it. That's the way. That's it. There. Oh, it's going to be all right. That's it. [to Grandpa] Wrap him in the blanket, Dad! [to Albert] That's it. That's it. It's all right, Albert. You're going to be OK. |
Albert: |
I want my daddy! |
Philip: |
We'll take you to him. Easy now. Easy does it. That's it. |
Outside the lodge a little later. |
Grandpa: |
Your dad is quite a guy. |
Robbie: |
I know, Grandpa. [Philip comes out of the lodge. Albert's father is with him.] |
Grandpa: |
How is he, Philip? |
Philip: |
He's asleep. He's going to be fine. |
Father: |
How can I thank all of you? |
Philip: |
Thank my son Robbie. He pulled him out of the water. |
Father: |
I'm very grateful, Robbie. |
Robbie: |
Dad saved him, not me. |
Father: |
I'm so thankful to all of you. [He shakes their hands and leaves.] |
Philip: |
So long. |
Grandpa: |
He's a lucky boy. Well, what do you say we get back to our fishing? |
Philip: |
That's a great idea. [His beeper sounds.] Uh-oh. It's probably the hospital. I have to get to a phone. It probably means we can't stay. |
Robbie: |
That's OK. [Philip goes into the lodge to telephone the hospital. A few minutes later, he returns.] |
Philip: |
One of my patients has a high fever, and I have to go to the hospital. I'm sorry, Robbie. I guess I ruined your day. |
Robbie: |
You didn't ruin my day, Dad. I understand. I really do. |
In the Stewarts' kitchen later that day. Ellen is cooking. Grandpa and Robbie enter. |
Ellen: |
Why are you back so early? |
Grandpa: |
Philip had to go back to the hospital. |
Robbie: |
He had an emergency. |
Ellen: |
Oh, that's too bad, Robbie. Did it spoil your fun? |
Robbie: |
No, Mom. We had a great time. |
Ellen: |
Well, did you do any fishing? |
Robbie: |
Yeah, we caught lots of them. Look! [He empties a bag onto the table.] They had a special on frozen fish down at the supermarket. |
Ellen: |
[She lifts the bag.] Oh, you really had a bad day. |
Grandpa: |
We had a good day. Robbie pulled a boy out of the water. |
Robbie: |
And Dad saved his life. He's a terrific doctor, Mom. |
Ellen: |
I know. |
In the Stewarts' kitchen that night. Grandpa and Robbie are doing the dishes. |
Philip: |
[He enters.] Hi, Pop. Hi, Son. |
Robbie: |
Hello, Dad. |
Philip: |
What a day! |
Grandpa: |
How about a cup of coffee, Son! |
Philip: |
I'd love a cup of coffee. |
Robbie: |
How was the patient? |
Philip: |
She'll be fine. |
Robbie: |
Was it serious? |
Philip: |
No. |
Robbie: |
Until today, I was never really interested in medicine. |
Philip: |
Well, it's hard work. |
Robbie: |
Now I know. |
Philip: |
[He pats Robbie on the back.] I had a good time today, Robbie. |
Robbie: |
Me, too. |
Philip: |
Why don't we do it again? |
Robbie: |
Can we? When? |
Philip: |
How about next Saturday? |
Robbie: |
Won't you be busy? |
Philip: |
I'm changing my schedule. Well, do we have a date? |
Robbie: |
We sure do, Dad. Grandpa, can you come? |
Grandpa: |
I have other plans, Robbie. But I think you two can have a good time together without me. |
Philip: |
No, Dad, and certainly not without the right magic. |
