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 | 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. |
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. |
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. |

Philip | I want to spend more time with Robbie. |

Grandpa | Robbie's right. |
Philip | Yes,but you did, and we've got our lunch. Let's build a fire and cook it! Come on ,Albert, you can help us! |

Grandpa | He's a lucky boy.Well, what do you say we get back to our fishing? |
Philip | That's great idea. Uh-oh. It's probably the hospital. I have to get to a phone. It probably means we can't stay. |
Robbie | That's OK. |
Philip | One of my patients has a high fever, and I have to go to the hospital. I'm sorry, Robbie. I guess I ruined your day. |
