The traffic. The parking. I was lost.

Yeah. A left.

Don't worry about being late. It's fine.

Hello, Harry. It's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, Susan.

Make another left to Wooster.

Who is it?

Then walk two blocks to the traffic light.

What pretty flowers! Thank you.

555-9470… and it's still busy.

To the corner and then a left?

Sorry I'm late.

Oh, please come in.

Try again.

That's easy. Walk to the corner.

Yes, it is. Come up. I'm on the top floor.

Yes. Wooster Street is two blocks, and 83 is to the right, about two houses.

Excuse me. Can you help me?

Oh, I'd like you to meet my sister-in-law Marilyn.

Excuse the mess. I just moved here.

Hot dog? Only seventy-five cents.

Then make a left turn.

555-9470… and it's busy…

Pleased to meet you.

Sure, what do you want?

Thank you, thank you!

No. Thank you. I have a dinner date.

Thank you.

Excuse me, ma'am. I'm looking for 83 Wooster Street.

Where is 83 Wooster Street?

Harry Bennett. Is this Susan?

Marilyn Stewart, this is Harry Bennett.

You're welcome.

Well, that's done. Shall we go?

I know the owner very well.

Bye, Marilyn. Hope to see you again.

After you.

Any friend of Miss Stewart's is welcome at Somsak's.

I'd like to call home and leave the number with the baby-sitter.

Follow me, please.

Ah! Miss Stewart! Welcome!

I'm ready. See you later, Marilyn.

Fine, thank you.

This is my friend Harry Bennett.

Do you know the phone number of the restaurant?

I eat there a lot.

May I use the phone?

I do, too. I come here often.

Are we too late for our dinner reservation?

Fine, Somsak. And you?

Me, too. Have fun!

How are you?

No, the restaurant will hold our table.

I want to leave the phone number of the restaurant…

Can I speak to Betty?

Nice to meet you, Harry.

Hi, Betty. I'll be at five five five… seventeen twenty.

Thanks.

Have a nice evening.

Hi, Michelle. It's Daddy.

Pleased to meet you.

Very nice to meet you.

Five five five… one seven two oh. Hello?

Sure. The number is… five five five… seventeen twenty.

I like it here.

OK. Thanks. See you later.

I'll take care of everything.

Rose-petal salad?

Harry, would you like to see a menu?

Your company's accounting firm.

May I bring you a salad?

I love numbers.

What is it?

What would you like to eat?

Terrific!

She's nine years old.

I'm the vice-president of new toy development.

Well, I…

Well! Nice restaurant.

That's true. Harry Bennett, certified public accountant.

Thank you, Somsak.

Here we are.

I hope you're hungry.

What? Oh, yes. Starving. Well, I…

Yes, I'd like a glass of ginger ale with ice.

I have a daughter.

A special place for special people.

Do you have a dry white wine?

How about a California chablis?

What do you recommend today?

I know you 're a CPA.

What do you do at Universe Toy Company?

Harry, what would you like?

Oh yes.

I'll have the mee krob also.

Why not?

Would you like something to drink?

No, it's Ok.

I know. How old is she?

Yes.

Special for new friends.

I recommend rose-petal salad.

Crispy fried noodles. I love them.

I'd like the mee krob.

Chablis is fine.

And so…

We'll make another.

Rose-petal salad.

That's a nice age. What's her name?

The baby-sitter called.

I hope your daughter is all right. Good-bye.

And there's a phone call for you, Mr. Bennett.

Excuse me, Susan.

Please don't worry.

No, no. Please, go ahead.

Thank you.

His daughter is sick.

He's a good father.

What's the matter?

I think she has a stomachache.

My daughter isn't feeling well.

Good-bye.

I don't know. The baby-sitter says she has a stomachache, and she's crying.

I'll have to go home. Will you forgive me?

And you didn't have a chance to eat.

So… what do you think of him?

Do you have a picture of her?

What's wrong?

He's very nice.

Michelle.

Oh no! Is it serious?

She's very pretty.

Please forgive me, Susan, but…

Let me take you home first.

I'll phone you.

I hope nothing is wrong.

But I think he was nervous tonight.

I'll get the rest of the dinner.

What happened?

It's our first date.

Oh, it's OK.

Of course. I'm so sorry for Michelle.

I have to leave. I feel terrible, but…

Excuse me.

The food is delicious.

Oh, not at all. We're still eating.

It's a bonsai tree for your new apartment.

Do you think it's…

To apologize for leaving so early, I brought you a little gift.

I hope so.

It was only a tummy ache.

Hi, Marilyn. I hope it's not too late.

It's good that you went back.

Mmm, this is delicious!

Your downstairs neighbor let me in.

I'm going to excuse myself.

And how is your daughter?

Did you go home?

As a matter of fact… I am hungry.

This food is delicious.

I agree. Aren't you hungry?

Yes, I think it's important for me to be there since her mother died.

He didn't get a thing to eat.

Please, come in. Join us.

It was his first date in two years.

It's our meal from the restaurant.

You ordered enough for three or four people, but I'm not complaining.

Enjoy!

I did, but everything is OK, so I decided to come back.

Who is that?

Will you see him again?

No. You won't believe it, Marilyn!

There's lots of food left.

I believe it. Even without looking.

How…?

Hi!

Oh, she's fine.

Yes?

I like that.

She's going to a fashion show here in the city tomorrow.

Good night, Susan.

Good night, Susan.

Please do.

You two must be close.

Are you all right?

I do… yes, but I have Michelle…

Ooh, speaking of keeping busy-I have an early start tomorrow, and the baby-sitter has to get home.

Wonderful. I'll call you, and we'll go out to dinner.

We are.

Is there anyone else in your life?

It's midnight.

It was for a good reason.

What?

Where did the time go?

I think we're going to be good friends.

Good night, Harry.

Me, too, Harry. Harry?

Sorry.

Thank you, Susan. I had a nice evening.

You know something?

The whole Stewart family is close.

and with time…

I promise I won't leave early.

No, not yet. What about you?

She is sleeping here so she won't have to travel from Riverdale in the morning.

I'd like to meet your daughter someday.

And then, two years ago, my wife died.

Oh, I date occasionally, but my work keeps me busy.

You miss her.

Of course.

Good night, Harry. It was nice meeting you.

Good night, Marilyn.

Good night, Harry, Have a safe trip home.

Does that mean that I can see you again?

I never liked that umbrella stand.

I have a lot of work to do to get ready for tomorrow.

Bye, Marilyn.
