[ In Susan's office a few days later. Susan calls Sam, her assistant, into her office. ]
Susan: [ She speaks into the intercom. ] Sam, would you come in, please?
Sam: [ He walks into Susan's office. He is carrying a pad and pen. ] You sound like something's bothering you, Susan. The sketches for the cover of the new doll book?
Susan: That's not it. Please sit down.
Sam: Sure. [ He sits down. ]
Susan: I need your advice on a personal matter, but it's not about me.
Sam: You need my advice on a personal matter, and it's not about you. OK.
Susan: It's about my grandfather.
Sam: What's the problem?
Susan: It won't sound like a big deal, but it is. I had dinner with him Saturday, and he's very unhappy about not working.
Sam: I thought he was retired and pleased to be living with the family.
Susan: He is, but there's so much energy and talent in the man, and he doesn't get to use it.
Sam: But what can I do? What kind of advice are you looking for?
Susan: Simply this. John Marchetta runs this company.
Sam: He founded this company.
Susan: Right. John Marchetta gave me my start here six years ago, when I first graduated from college. He gave me the chance to use my talents and made me feel more confident.
Sam: Right. Maybe he can do the same thing for your grandfather.
Susan: Or at least give him some advice.
Sam: Right. Then I've solved your problem. [ He laughs. ]
Susan: [ Laughing ] I can always depend on you, Sam.
Sam: I'm glad to help. Shall I call Mr. Marchetta for you?
Susan: No, no. I'll do that. Thanks. [ She picks up the phone to call Mr. Marchetta. ]
[ In John Marchetta's office later that day. ]
Marchetta: Now, how's the Stewart family?
Susan: Fine, thank you, Mr. Marchetta. Except for my grandfather.
Marchetta: What's wrong, Susan? What's wrong with him?
Susan: He needs to work. In fact, that is the reason why I'm here to see you. I know you're building a new factory, and I thought ... maybe ... my grandfather is so experienced in the construction trade, he could be so valuable.
Marchetta: Tell him to come and see me at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. I have an idea that may solve the problem for him and help a lot of other people.
Susan: Really, Mr. Marchetta? Can I tell him that?
Marchetta: Sure can. Ten o'clock in the morning. Here.
Susan: Oh, thank you!
