Richard: Hot dogs. I love hot dogs.
Richard: There is nothing better than a hot dog in the country.
Richard: Hot dogs and mustard.
Richard: Cooked outdoors over an open fire.
Richard: I wish I had one now.
Ellen: Do you remember when Daddy and I used to take you
Ellen: and Susan and Robbie to Jones Beach?
Richard: Oh, I sure do.
Richard: We'd wait until dark and make a fire,
Richard: and we'd cook the hot dogs.
Ellen: Oh, don't forget the mustard.
Marilyn: And, oh, does anybody want ketchup?
Marilyn: I might as well take it along.
Richard: And now to make sure we've got the hamburger patties.
Richard: I have to remember to put them in the bag
Richard: tomorrow morning before we leave.
Marilyn: I'll remind you, Richard.
Marilyn: Mom,
Marilyn: we really appreciate your taking care of Max for the weekend
Marilyn: and giving up your free time.
Ellen: I love doing it.
Ellen: Susan and Harry have a sitter for Michelle in the city,
Ellen: and I'm taking care of Max.
Ellen: It's no big deal.
Ellen: I am happy to do it for you.
Richard: I guess Max is asleep by now.
Richard: He's not crying anymore.
Ellen: Oh, poor baby. He's teething.
Marilyn: Well, he's asleep--finally.
Marilyn: I feel so bad for him.
Marilyn: It hurts so much when a baby gets his first teeth.
Ellen: He'll be fine, Marilyn.
Marilyn: Well, he wakes up several times during the night, and the pain is so bad.
Marilyn: I'm really concerned about going away for the weekend, Ellen,
Marilyn: and leaving you with the full responsibility of taking care of Max.
Marilyn: Especially with his teething. I wish he felt better.
Ellen: Please don't worry, Marilyn.
Ellen: Remember your father-in-law's a pediatrician.
Ellen: We have a live-in doctor if there's a problem I can't handle.
Richard: I agree, Marilyn.
Richard: We really don't have to be overly concerned.
Richard: I'll go upstairs and stay with him until he falls asleep again.
Marilyn: Thanks, Richard.
Marilyn: Try putting him across your lap on his stomach.
Marilyn: He likes that.
Richard: I'll try it.
Ellen: When are Susan and Harry picking you up, Marilyn?
Marilyn: They're coming by at six tomorrow morning,
Marilyn: so we can get an early start.
Ellen: That's nice.
Ellen: And you'll have a full day in the country.
Marilyn: And a full night.
Marilyn: Tomorrow night we'll be camping out in tents.
Ellen: And coming home on Sunday?
Marilyn: We'll be heading back late in the afternoon.
Ellen: You're going to have the time of your lives.
Ellen: Camping out is such great fun.
Marilyn: We'll have a great time camping out, I'm sure.
Marilyn: But I'm still a little worried about you, Ellen.
Ellen: It will be my great pleasure, Marilyn.
Ellen: Remember, it's only one night.
Richard: He's asleep.
Richard: I think he'll sleep through the night now.
Marilyn: Thanks, honey.
Marilyn: I hope he's good when we're away.
Richard: Well, so do I.
Richard: Now, to check the list of things we need for the camping trip.
Richard: We need to bring a flashlight.
Ellen: It's in the right-hand drawer, next to the bottle openers.
Richard: Do we have a bottle opener on the list, Marilyn?
Marilyn: No. No bottle opener.
Richard: Is that one of the things Susan and Harry are bringing?
Marilyn: No.
Richard: And we're bringing the ketchup, mustard, relish--all that stuff.
Richard: And cooking utensils.
Ellen: Well, here's the bottle opener, and here's the flashlight.
Marilyn: Matches.
Richard: Matches?
Marilyn: Yes, of course. For when we build our campfire.
Marilyn: I can't build a fire by rubbing two pieces of wood together.
Ellen: And don't forget your camera and film, Richard.
Richard: All packed and ready.
Richard: And let's not forget our cassette player and some tapes.
Richard: Some music tapes and some blank tapes
Richard: so that we can record our thoughts about the trip.
Ellen: Oh, that's a nice idea. An audio diary.
Richard: That's what I thought. Got it!
Richard: The cassette player and the tapes.
