| In the Stewarts' living room the next evening. The family and Harry and Michelle are watching Marilyn unwrap the baby gifts. | |
| Marilyn: | Thanks, Michelle. |
| Michelle: | I hope you like it. |
| Marilyn: | Isn't this baby outfit adorable? With his name on it"Max". Thanks so much, Harry and Michelle. |
| Richard: | We really appreciate it. |
| Harry: | I'm glad you like it. Michelle picked it out. |
| Michelle: | Yes. I told Daddy to pick blue ones. Blue is for boys, and pink is for girls. |
| Grandpa: | And Max is some boy. |
| Richard: | He's a real Stewart. |
| Grandpa: | Right! |
| Ellen: | That was so thoughtful of you, Michelle. Especially to pick it out in blue. |
| Susan: | Would you like to see baby Max, Michelle? |
| Harry: | Could she? Could we? |
| Michelle: | Could I? |
| Marilyn: | Take them upstairs, Susan. Harry and Michelle can watch Max sleeping. |
| Susan: | Let's go. |
| Harry: | Come on, Michelle. Before Max wakes up. |
| Marilyn: | Will you please take this upstairs, Susan? [She hands her a baby gift.] |
| Susan: | Uh-huh. |
| Marilyn: | Thank you. [Susan, Harry, and Michelle go upstairs.] |
| Philip: | Michelle is very grown up for a ten-year-old, huh? |
| Ellen: | She's smart and sensitive for her age. |
| Grandpa: | Growing up without a mother is difficult. You mature quickly. |
| Ellen: | Susan's like a mother to Michelle. They have a good relationship. Do you think Susan and Harry will get married? |
| Robbie: | Yeah. You can count on it. [They all laugh.] |
| Philip: | I think so. Yes. They get along so well. |
| Grandpa: | I like him. He's good for Susan. |
| Ellen: | He's a little quiet. |
| Richard: | It's hard to do anything but listen in this family. |
| Ellen: | How can anybody get a word in around here? |
| Marilyn: | You're right, Ellen. |
| Philip: | Oh, really? |
| Richard: | It's the way it should be. The Stewarts are the Stewarts! |
| Grandpa: | They always were, and they always will be. |
| Richard: | Right! |
| Grandpa: | They've always got an opinion. Always got something to say. |
| Marilyn: | And now there's Max Stewart, and if he talks as loudly as he cries, we're all in for trouble. |
| Robbie: | He's quiet now. |
| Marilyn: | Mmm-hmm. That's because he's sleeping. |
| In Marilyn and Richard's room. Susan, Harry, and Michelle are watching Max as he sleeps. | |
| Harry: | He's really cute. |
| Susan: | It's not necessary to whisper, Harry. A baby gets used to voices. |
| Harry: | I remember now. We always whispered when Michelle was born. |
| Michelle: | And I didn't sleep well. Daddy told me. I never slept. And when I did, I woke up when I heard someone speak. |
| Susan: | I bet you were cute. |
| Harry: | She sure was. |
| Michelle: | Not as cute as Max. He's like a little doll. [The baby starts to cry.] |
| Michelle: | Oh, good. Now I can help diaper him. |
| Susan: | Let's get Marilyn. What do you do when he cries like that? |
| Harry: | You pick him up. [He and Susan laugh.] |
| Susan: | He's so little ... so new. Let's call Marilyn. |
| Marilyn: | [entering] Time for a feeding and time for a diapering. [She puts the baby in his crib and looks at him. ] You're a real Stewart. |
