In the Stewarts' home. Ellen Stewart is preparing dinner in the kitchen as her son Robbie comes home from school.

Robbie:Hi, Mom.

Ellen:Hi, Robbie. You're home from school early.

Robbie:Yeah, they're getting the assembly hall ready for the graduation ceremony, so we all got to go home early. Too noisy to study.

Ellen:Well, now that you're here, you can help me with dinner. I need those potatoes peeled and sliced.

Robbie:Mom, give me a break. Alexandra's coming over to help me study for my math final.

Ellen:Well, in that case,you can wash the dishes and clean up after dinner.

Robbie:Can I invite Alexandra to stay for dinner?

Ellen:Of course.

Robbie:Thanks, Mom.

Ellen:You and Alexandra have become good friends, haven't you?

Robbie:Yes. I like her. She's a terrific person. I'm going to miss her when she goes back to Greece.

Ellen:Would you like to give her a little farewell party?

Robbie:Mom, that would be terrific! Maybe we could make it a surprise.

Ellen:Oh, I don't know. Surprise parties don't always work out.

Robbie:Well, we could tell her it's a graduation party for me. When Alexandra arrives, we'll surprise her.

Ellen:Well, I suppose that might work.

Robbie:I'd like to give her a nice going-away present.

Ellen:Fine.

Robbie:There's only one problem.

Ellen:What's that?

Robble:I'm broke.I should have saved some money.

Ellen:I'm sure Alexandra would be happy with something simple, Robbie.

Robbie:I know. But , well, I'd like to give her something nice to remember me by. Maybe I could borrow some money from you and Dad.

Ellen:It's all right with me if it's all right with your dad.

Robbie:Thanks, Mom. I'll talk to him. Is he still in his office?

Ellen:I think so.

Robbie:Thanks, Mom. [he starts to leave.]

Ellen:[She kisses him.] Robbie! Good luch!

In Dr. Stewart's office at the hospital. Philip is looking at a patient's chart as the nurse, Molly Baker, enters.

Molly:Here are the X-rays you wanted, Dr. Stewart.

Philip:Oh. Thank you, Molly. Now, let me check them.

Molly:What do you think?

Philip:I don't see any breaks or fractures. Well, well. Thank you, Molly.

Molly:Good. Thank you. [She leaves.]

A little later. There is a knock at Dr. Stewart's door. Robbie enters.

Philip:Come in! Hi, Son.

Robbie:Hi, Dad. Am I interrupting you?

Philip:No, no, no, no. What's up?

Robbie:Can we talk?

Philip:Sure.

Robbie:I need some help.

Philip:Well, that's what fathers are for.

Robbie:Well, before I go to college, I have the whole summer…

Philip:Yes…

Robbie:And I'm planning to get a job for the summer.

Philip:And what sort of job?

Robbie:I applied for a job as a lifeguard at the community pool.

Philip:Sounds pretty good.

Robbie:Yes. I'll be earning pretty good money if I get it. But right now, I'm kind of short of cash.

Philip:[He laughs.] Who isn't?

Robbie:And my friend Alexandra is going back to Greece…

Philip:Nice girl. We'll all miss her.

Robbie:Mom says we can give her a going-away surprise party.

Philip:Good idea.

Robbie:And I'd like to get her a nice gift…

Philip:What'd you have in mind?

Robbie:Well, a wristwatch, so she'll think of me when she looks at the time. Nothing flashy or expensive. Something simple----but a good one.

PhiliP:Sounds fine, Robbie.

Robbie:Well, I saw a nice watch. But I'll need a loan. If you could lend me the money, I could pay you back out of my lifeguard salary.

Philip:Well. I guess your mother and I can manage it. When do you need the money?

Robbie:Would tomorrow be OK?

Philip:You've got it.

Robbie:Thanks, Dad.

Philip:My pleasure, Son. Oh, and, Robbie…

Robbie:Yes?

Philip:You'll probably want the family car so you can drive her home after the party.

Robbie:Could I?

Philip:If you drive carefully.

Robbie:I will. Thanks, Dad.

Philip:My pleasure.

Robbie:You're OK, Dad.

Philip:[He pats him on the shoulder.] You're not so bad yourself,Son.
