Later that afternoon. The Stewart family and Harry and Michelle are sitting around the table. They are ready to have their Thanksgiving Day dinner.
Philip:	OK, everybody. I want to welcome Harry and his daughter Michelle to Thanksgiving with us.
Harry:	Thank you, Dr. Stewart.
Philip:	Call me Philip.
Harry:	OK.
Philip:	But first, I think we should take a moment and remember the meaning of Thanksgiving.
Harry:	Philip, I took Michelle to a school play about the first Thanksgiving.
Philip:	Well, why don't you tell us about that, Michelle?
Michelle:	Thanksgiving was about the Pilgrims, the first settlers in America. They shared the first harvest with the Indians and gave thanks.
Philip:	All right. Then in that spirit let's each of us give thanks. Each in his own way. Who wants to begin?
Grandpa:	I will. I give thanks for being here with my family and for being well, so I can enjoy you all.
Robbie:	All right! We love you, Grandpa.
Susan:	I'd like to give thanks for a healthy year, a good job, and for meeting Harry and Michelle.
Harry:	We'd like to give thanks for meeting Susan and the Stewart family.
Michelle:	I love you, Daddy.
Susan:	[speaking softly to Harry] Thanks, Harry. That was very kind of you.
Robbie:	I'd like to give thanks for Grandpa coming to live with us. And I'd also like to thank my math teacher for giving me a passing grade. And [with hope] call me, Alexandra.
Ellen:	Oh, Robbie!
Grandpa:	She'll call.
Richard:	You go first, Marilyn.
Marilyn:	I'm thinking. You go first.
Richard:	Well, you all know I'm working on my photo album. It's not finished yet. [He looks at Marilyn.] And I'd like to thank Marilyn for being so patient.
Marilyn:	Thanks, Richard. I should thank you for encouraging me to keep working on my fashion designs. I'm lucky to have a husband with an artistic eye.
Ellen:	Oh, we have a lot to be thankful for. For the food on this table. Just like the Pilgrims.
Philip:	I'll go along with that, Ellen.
Ellen:	Well, help me serve, Robbie. [They begin to serve the dinner.]
Later, after dinner.
Harry:	It was a wonderful meal, Mrs. Stewart. Thank you.
Richard:	And now to see the end of the football game.
Philip:	Exactly. [He gets up.]
Ellen:	Where are you going, Philip?
Philip:	Remember, the Michigan football game? And Michigan needs a touchdown.
Ellen:	Did you forget something?
Robbie:	Dad, your famous apple pie.
Philip:	Just let me see the score, Ellen.
Marilyn:	Go ahead, Philip. We should all take a little break before dessert. [Philip and Richard go into the living room. The other members of the family take the dishes from the table. Then the doorbell rings.]
Ellen:	Oh, who could that be? Oh, it must be Alexandra. I invited her to come by for dessert.
Robbie:	You did? [Ellen and Robbie go to the front door.]
Grandpa:	I like Ellen. [Alexandra enters.]
Robbie:	You know everyone, Alexandra.
Ellen:	No, she doesn't know Harry Bennett and his daughter Michelle.
Alexandra:	Nice to meet you.
Harry & Michelle:	Hi.
Marilyn & Susan:	Hello, Alexandra.
Alexandra:	Hi, Marilyn. Hi, Susan. Happy Thanksgiving.
Ellen:	And Alexandra brought us a pumpkin pie.
Robbie:	Please sit down, Alexandra. [calling] Dad, Richard—Alexandra's here. [Richard and Philip come into the kitchen.]
Richard:	Michigan needs a touchdown. Three minutes to play. Hi, Alexandra. Welcome.
Philip:	Hello, Alexandra. Yes, Michigan needs a touchdown. One tiny little touchdown, with just three minutes to play.
Alexandra:	You want Michigan to win.
Philip:	How'd you guess?
Ellen:	And Alexandra brought us a pumpkin pie. [Philip walks to the oven. He turns around with a strange look on his face.]
Ellen:	What happened?
Philip:	We forgot to turn the oven on.
Ellen:	We did? Philip, why don't you go watch the last three minutes of the game. I will serve coffee and pumpkin pie.
Philip:	[He leaves.] OK. I'll be back in a few minutes.
Ellen:	Robbie, would you bring the dessert plates. And, Marilyn, would you pour coffee, please.
Marilyn:	Sure, Ellen.
Grandpa:	How was your Thanksgiving dinner, Alexandra.
Alexandra:	Just wonderful, Mr. Stewart. The Molinas are a large family. I love being with them.
Robbie:	I'm glad you came by, Alexandra.
Alexandra:	I am, too.
Philip:	[He shouts from the living room.] Touchdown! Touchdown! Touchdown!
Grandpa:	Great Thanksgiving. Lots to be thankful for. Michigan scored a touchdown. Alexandra came by. And nobody misses Philip's famous apple pie.
Ellen:	Oh, Grandpa!
