Album 21：A Big Fish in a Little Pond - ACT3_走遍美国

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.
