That night. Robbie is sitting in the living room of his home. Philip enters.
|
Philip: |
Hi, Son. Is everything all right ? |
|
Robbie: |
Hi, Dad. Everything’s fine. I was just waiting for you to get home so we could talk. |
|
Philip: |
Anything special you want to talk about ? |
|
Robbie: |
There is, Dad. |
|
Philip: |
I’m listening. |
|
Robbie: |
Well, I know you and Mom have given up a lot to save money for my college tuition. |
|
Philip: |
We want you to go to college, Robbie. |
|
Robbie: |
I know. I do. |
|
Philip: |
But ? |
|
Robbie: |
Well, I’ve thought a lot about which college, and one of them is Columbia. |
|
Philip: |
Columbia? Why Columbia? |
|
Robbie: |
First, they have an excellent School of Journalism. |
|
Philip: |
They do. And your friends are planning to go to Columbia? |
|
Robbie: |
That’s only part of it. It’s complicated. I’ll try to explain. Mike and I had a hamburger this afternoon, and we talked. |
|
Philip: |
Yes? |
|
Robbie: |
Well, we talked about a lot of things. He applied to Columbia, and his interview was very successful. He thinks he’ll be accepted, and he really wants to go there. |
|
Philip: |
Dean Rafer called me today. He told me he was very impressed with you. |
|
Robbie: |
He’s a nice man. He was very kind. |
|
Philip: |
He told me you had some doubts about wanting to go to Michigan. |
|
Robbie: |
Yes, I do. I’m just not sure about what I want to do. |
|
Philip: |
That’s OK. |
|
Robbie: |
You understand ? |
|
Philip: |
Let me tell you something, Robbie. Something that might be surprising to you. |
|
Robbie: |
What ? Tell me. |
|
Philip: |
Well, Grandpa wanted me to study engineering, like him. Well, I wasn’t clear about my future, but I knew engineering was not for me. |
|
Robbie: |
What did you tell Grandpa? |
|
Philip: |
The truth. |
|
Robbie: |
Then you’re not upset about my not wanting to go into medicine? |
|
Philip: |
I’m not upset at all. I’m just happy that we’re able to talk about it. |
|
Robbie: |
I am too, Dad. |
|
Philip: |
I suppose you want to apply to Columbia. |
|
Robbie: |
Yes, but I also want to apply to several other colleges. |
|
Philip: |
I thought you wanted to go to Columbia. |
|
Robbie: |
Well, I might want to go to Columbia. But I might not. I just want to be able to make my own decision. |
|
Philip: |
You’re a real Stewart! |
|
Robbie: |
And if I think about it long enough, you never know … |
|
Philip: |
Never know what? |
|
Robbie: |
If I make my own decision, I might choose Michigan. |
|
Philip: |
Robbie, you’re something! You know, when I was your age, I said exactly the same thing to Grandpa. [They smile.] |
