Episode 5 The Right Magic ACT I钓鱼秘诀 第一幕

[ In the Stewarts' house early Saturday morning. Grandpa is making breakfast as Robbie enters. ]

Robbie: Hi, Grandpa.

Grandpa: Hi, Robbie.

Robbie: Can I help?

Grandpa: Yes, indeed. Hand me two eggs from the refrigerator, and I'll make you two fried eggs.

Robbie: How about some bacon?

Grandpa: I made enough for an army. You going to the baseball game today?  It's a perfect day for it --a little cloudy but nice and warm.

Robbie: Dad and I were planning to go to the game, but he has to work today, and my friends don't want to go.  It's not an important game, anyway.

Grandpa: Do you have any other plans for the day?

Robbie: I'll work on my computer. I have a new math program, and I want to learn how to use it.

Grandpa: Maybe you can teach me how to work on a computer someday.

Robbie: Anytime. It's really easy, but, like anything, you need to work at it, Grandpa.

[ They begin to eat breakfast. ]

Robbie: [eating ] This bacon is great. I love crispy bacon.

Grandpa: Oh, what are you doing tomorrow?

Robbie: Nothing much.

Grandpa: Well, maybe your dad and I could take you fishing with us.

Robbie: I'd like that, but ...

Grandpa: But what?

Robbie: But Dad is always so busy.

Grandpa: Well, can you come fishing with me tomorrow?

Robbie: Sure, I can.

[ Later that morning. Philip is eating breakfast quickly. He is speaking with Grandpa. ]

Grandpa: Robbie says you can't take him to the game today.

Philip: I really feel bad about it, but they need me at the hospital today, in the children's ward.

Grandpa: I understand.

Philip: Maybe we can spend some time together next weekend.

Grandpa: Definitely. We should. You and Robbie and me. Remember our first fishing trip?

Philip: I sure do.... Well, I've got to run, Dad. See you later. [ He leaves. ]

[ On the patio later that day. Grandpa is looking at some fishing gear, things he will need for catching fish. Philip enters. ]

Philip: Going fishing?

Grandpa: I'm thinking about it.... So, how's work?

Philip: Oh, the usual problems.

Grandpa: You're working pretty hard these days.

Philip: I guess I am.

Grandpa: When did you last go fishing with Robbie?

Philip: I remember exactly.  It was on his birthday, June second, two years ago. [ He laughs. ] We didn't catch anything.

Grandpa: Remember our fishing trips?

Philip: Yes. I loved them.

Grandpa: Remember catching your first fish?

Philip: How can I forget? I fell out of the boat! We had some good times together.

Grandpa: Yes, we did. Maybe we should do it again.

Philip: How about tomorrow?

Grandpa: Don't you have to work?

Philip: My paper work will wait.

Grandpa: Oh, Robbie will be thrilled. I am, too, Son.

Philip: I want to spend more time with Robbie.

Philip: Tomorrow. It'll be like old times for you and me. And Robbie will love it.

Philip: Well, what's the weather going to be like?

Grandpa: Radio says sunny and mild.

Philip: Well, I'll tell Robbie. And thanks, Dad.

Grandpa: Don't thank me. I'm just being a grandfather.
