In Susan and Harry's apartment in Soho, a neighborhood in Manhattan. Susan and Harry are looking at Michelle as she models her new clothes. |
Michelle: |
I really like this one Susan. Do you? |
Susan: |
Turn around, Michelle. Let me see the back of it. [Michelle turns around.] I like it a lot. It fits well. It doesn't need any alterations. We must've bought the right size. |
Harry: |
I like the color. She looks good in blue. |
Michelle: |
I like blue, too, Daddy. |
Susan: |
Try on the shirt and blouse outfit. Michellethe one that Daddy wanted you to wear. |
Michelle: |
OK. [She leaves the room.] |
Harry: |
Michelle has been a different kid since we've been married. She's never been happier. |
Susan: |
And I've never been happier, Harry. [She kisses him.] I love her very much. She's been a joy. |
Harry: |
We're very lucky, the three of us ... and becoming part of the Stewart family, too. |
Susan: |
We couldn't ask for anything more, could we? |
Harry: |
Well ... |
Susan: |
Well ... ? Could we ask for anything more? |
Harry: |
Well ... we ... |
Michelle: |
[She enters the room in her new skirt and blouse.] How do you like it, Daddy? |
Harry: |
It's my favorite outfit. |
Susan: |
It's good for every day. It will be good for school, Michelle. |
Michelle: |
I like it, too. I always like skirts that go like this. [She twirls around to show how the skirt moves.] Do you want to see the winter jacket on me, Susan? |
Susan: |
Yes, I do. Change back into your jeans, and put on the new winter jacket we bought today. |
Michelle: |
OK. [She leaves the room.] |
Susan: |
[to Harry] What did you mean by "well ... ?" You had something on your mind when I said we couldn't ask for anything more. |
Michelle: |
[She enters.] Is everything all right? |
Harry: |
Everything is fine, Michelle. |
Susan: |
Let's take a look at the winter jacket. Come on over here, honey. |
Michelle: |
It's kind of warm. |
Susan: |
It is. That's why we bought it for you. This will be a perfect jacket for the wintertime when it's very cold out. But it's kind of small also. We must've bought the wrong size. |
Harry: |
Looks like we should've bought a bigger one. I guess we'll have to exchange it, too. I'm sure the store has others. |
Michelle: |
I look silly! It is too small! |
Susan: |
You're growing so fast, Michelle. |
Michelle: |
Can I take it off? I'm hot! |
Susan: |
Sure. Put it back in your room, and we'll hang everything up later. [Michelle leaves the room.] |
Susan: |
[to Harry] Well, are you going to tell me what's on your mind, Harry? |
Harry: |
I have been offered a job with a major accounting company in Los Angeles. [repeating] I have been offered a job with a major accounting company in Los Angeles. |
Susan: |
Los Angeles? That's a big decision. |
Harry: |
I know. It will also affect you and your job, if we decide to go. |
Susan: |
Wow! It sure will. But first tell me about the job, Harry. If it's a good one, then we'll make it work for us. |
Harry: |
I have a client in the garment business, on Seventh Avenue. I do his taxes every year. He has a big sales office in Los Angeles, and the company in Los Angeles that does his major accounting work is looking for an executive. And he recommended me. |
Susan: |
That's wonderful, Harry. |
Harry: |
Yes, but it would mean that we'd have to move to L.A. |
Susan: |
What about the salary? |
Harry: |
The real discussion comes tomorrow. Susan, I don't plan to make any decisions until I have a chance to talk with you about it. |
Susan: |
I understand, Harry. |
Harry: |
And I don't have to make a quick decision. They know that I'm married and that I have a family. |
Susan: |
Well, there's a lot of think about. If it's a good job, then I've got to do some thinking about my career opportunities in Los Angeles. |
Michelle: |
[She enters again.] Is everything OK? |
Susan: |
Yes, honey. |
