Michelle: I love my school. I have so many good friends there now. I wouldn't miss a day even if I were really sick.

    Susan: Come and sit down for a minute, Michelle. I'd like to talk to you about something. Something important.

    Michelle: What's wrong, Susan?

    Susan: Oh, there's nothing wrong, Michelle. But your dady and I are talking about something that I'd like your opinion about.

    Michelle: I know. I heard you talking about it the other night when I was trying on my new clothes. It's about moving to Los Angeles.

    Susan: You're right. How do you feel about it?

    Michelle: Well, I really wouldn't want to move, but……

    Susan: But?

    Michelle: But if you and Daddy wanted to, I guess you know what's best for the family and for me.

    Susan: That's very considerate of you, Michelle. But what about your friends?

    Michelle: I'd miss them a lot, but I know what it feels like to miss someone.

    Susan: Honey, we don't have to move if you're no going to be happy about it.

    Michelle: Does Daddy want to move?

    Susan: I think so. He's going to tell us tonight about the job offer.

    Harry: Well, how was everybody's day today?

    Susan: Michelle was chosen to do the school poster for the play this year.

    Harry: Congratulations, Michelle! That's something! And how was your day, Susan?

    Susan: I see you're in a good mood. Why don't you tell us about your day.

    Harry: I met with Bill York.

    Susan: It's OK to talk about it, Harry. Michelle knows all about it.

    Harry: Really?

    Susan: Really, Harry. Michelle and I have all kinds of feelings about leaving New York, the family, and friends. But is you think you should take the job, we're behind you.

    Harry: What about Michelle's school?

    Susan: We'll move after the school term.

    Harry: What about her new friends?

    Michelle: I'll make new friends wherever we are as lon as we're together.

    Susan: We're a family, Harry. Whatever you think is right for you is right for us.

    Harry: I am so touched. The two of you are really something.

    Michelle: We love you, Daddy.

    Harry: And I love you.

    Susan: OK. Now, tell us about your talk with Mr. York. Did you take the job?

    Harry: Nope.

    Michelle: What?

    Susan: No? You didn't take it?

    Harry: No, I did not take the job.

    Michelle: But, Daddy, I thought……

    Susan: Harry, you didn't turn it down because of me……

    Michelle: Or me?

    Harry: No, no. I turned it down because of me.

    Susan: How's that?

    Harry: Well, I began to think about you and about Michelle, and then I asked myself, do I really want to work for the biggest company in the country?

    Susan: And?

    Harry: And I don't. I went into business for myself because I like being my own boss. I run my own company. I'm a big fish in a little pond. I'm not really sure I want to be a little fish in a big pond.

    Michelle: Oh, Daddy, does that mean we don't have to move?

    Harry: That's right, sweetheart.

    Susan: Are you sure?

    Harry: I couldn't be more sure, Susan.

    Susan: I'm glad if you are, Harry.

    Harry: And besides, how could I live in Los Angeles when all my favorite people live here?

    Susan: Your favorite people?

    Michelle: Who's that?

    Harry: The Stewart family, of course.
