| 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. |
