Episode 5, The Right Magic.
As this act begins, Philip is very busy.
Too busy to spend time with Robbie.
Dad and I were planning to go to the game, but he has to work today.
So Grandpa has an idea.
Maybe your dad and I could take you fishing with us.
But Robbie knows Phillip probably can't go.
But dad is always so busy.
So Grandpa talks to Phillip.
You're working pretty hard these days.
I guess I am.
What does Philip decide to do?
Hi, Grandpa.
Hi, Robbie.
Can I help?
Yes, indeed.
Hand me two eggs from the refrigerator, and I'll make you two fried eggs.
How about some bacon?
Well, I've 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.
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.
Do you have any other plans for the day?
Well, I'll work on my computer.
I have a new math program, and I want to learn how to use it.
Maybe you can teach me how to work on a computer someday.
Anytime.
It's really easy, but like anything, you need to work at it, Grandpa.
This bacon is great.
I love crispy bacon.
Oh, what are you doing tomorrow?
Nothing much.
Well, maybe, uh...
Your dad and I could take you fishing with us.
I'd like that, but... But what?
But Dad is always so busy.
Well, can you come fishing with me tomorrow?
Sure I can.
Robbie says you can't take him to the game today.
I really feel bad about it, but they need me at the hospital today in the children's ward.
I understand.
Maybe we can spend some time together next weekend.
Definitely.
We should.
You and Robbie and me.
Remember our first fishing trip?
I sure do.
Well, I've got to run, Dad.
See you later.
Oh, you're fishing?
I'm thinking about it.
Oh, how's work?
Oh, the usual problems.
You're working pretty hard these days.
I guess I am.
When did you last go fishing with Robbie?
Oh, I remember exactly.
It was on his birthday, June 2nd, two years ago.
We didn't catch anything.
Remember our fishing trips?
Yes.
I loved them.
Remember catching your first fish?
How could I forget?
I fell out of the boat.
We had some good times together.
Yes, we did.
Maybe we should do it again.
How about tomorrow?
Don't you have to work?
My paperwork will wait.
Robbie will be thrilled.
I am too, son.
We'll spend more time with Robbie.
Tomorrow.
It'll be like old times for you and me.
And Robbie will love it.
Well, what's the weather going to be like?
Radio says, sunny and mild.
Oh.
Well, I'll tell Robbie.
And, uh, thanks, Dad.
Don't thank me.
I'm just being a grandfather.
Radio says sunny and mild.
What's the weather going to be like in the USA today?
In New York City, home of the Statue of Liberty and all those skyscrapers and the surrounding area.
It'll be sunny and mild.
A little cloudy, but nice and warm.
What a beautiful day to do some fishing.
Down in the southeast today, the weather will be gorgeous.
In Miami, Florida, a popular vacation spot, it's gonna be sunny and hot, hot, hot.
It's 90 degrees Fahrenheit.
That's 32 degrees Celsius now.
A perfect day for the beach.
Not so in St.
Louis, Missouri, the gateway to the West.
It's cool and windy.
We expect rain there and throughout the Midwest this afternoon.
So get out your umbrella.
And in the Rocky Mountains, it's freezing.
It's 32 degrees Fahrenheit, that's zero degrees Celsius, outside Denver, Colorado.
There's two feet of snow already, and it's gonna snow some more.
It's a perfect place for skiing.
Out on the West Coast in Los Angeles California, home of Hollywood movie stars and fast cars.
It's sunny and warm.
It'll be a beautiful day for a drive up the coast.
And that's the weather in the USA Today.
Coming up in act two, Grandpa, Phillip, and Robbie go fishing.
I just saw a big one.
A young boy named Albert is fishing too, but he's alone.
Grandpa teaches Robbie his fisherman's magic.
Fish, fish, send me a fish.
And Robbie gets lucky.
I got one!
But later, there's trouble.
Help!
This is really neat.
When do we eat?
First, we have to catch some fish.
In order to catch fish, we have to do this.
Here we go. then drop it into the water.
All of this comes before eating.
Okay?
How do you know so much about fishing?
Grandpa taught me.
We spent a lot of time fishing together.
Now, the important thing is to get the hook close to the fish, all right?
Like this.
I think I see some fish right under us, Dad.
Oh, not a chance.
I just saw a big one.
Hi, there.
Hi.
What's your name?
Albert.
Are you all alone?
Yes, sir.
How old are you, Albert?
I'm 10.
Where's your father?
He's up there at the lodge.
Does he know you're here?
Yes, sir.
OK, Robbie.
Maybe you should watch him.
The water's pretty deep here.
I'll watch him, Dad.
What time is it?
It's almost lunchtime.
There's no fish yet.
I can go up to the lodge for some hot dogs and drinks.
No way.
We're here to catch our lunch.
To catch fish, you need the right magic.
That's right.
I forgot.
The right magic.
Do it for Robbie, Dad.
You remember?
Sure.
Well, first, you have to turn your hat around like this.
Then you close your eyes. and say the magic words, fish, fish, send me a fish.
Fish, fish, send me a fish.
I got one.
See, it works.
It's a big one.
Well, it'll always work for me, too.
Grandpa, get the net, please.
Dad, you got one, too.
You bet I have.
Easy, Phillip.
Easy.
Sorry, Dad.
Well, one more and I've got a pair of boots.
You didn't say the magic words.
Bobby's right.
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.
I want to stay here and fish.
All right.
But be careful.
Is it finished yet?
I think so.
I hope you like your fish well done.
Burned, you mean.
Hey, I'm a doctor, not a chef.
Help!
Help!
I can't swim!
Dad, Grandpa, he fell in.
He's not breathing, Philip.
Robbie, run to the car.
Bring a blanket and my medical bag.
Yes, Dad.
Now, come on, son.
Come on, son.
Come on.
Breathe, Albert.
First.
Now, first, you have to turn your hat around like this.
Then.
Then you close your eyes and say the magic words.
Last.
I got one.
First, then last.
What happened first?
What happened then?
What happened last?
First, then, last.
Let's try that again, this time with other parts of Act Two.
First they arrived at the lake.
Next, Grandpa used the right magic.
After that, Robbie caught a fish.
Later on, they cooked.
They burned the fish.
Finally, Albert fell in the water.
First, next, after that, later on, finally.
What happened first?
What happened next?
What happened after that?
What happened later on?
And finally First, next, after that, later on, finally.
In the final act, Philip, Robbie and Grandpa try to help Albert.
I want my daddy.
We'll take it to him.
Later, Grandpa makes a suggestion.
What do you say we get back to our fishing?
But Philip gets a call from work.
I have to get to a phone.
And the fishing trip ends early.
How will Robbie feel?
Here's the bag.
Will you be okay, Dad?
I hope so.
That.
Oh, that's it.
That's it.
That.
There.
Ah.
Oh, he's going to be all right.
Wrap him in the baguette.
That's it.
That's it.
It's all right.
It's all right, Albert.
You're going to be OK.
I want my daddy.
We'll take it to him.
Easy now.
Easy does it.
That's it.
Your dad is quite a guy.
I know, Grandpa.
How is he, Phillip?
He's asleep.
He's going to be fine.
How can I thank all of you?
Thank my son, Robbie.
He pulled him out of the water.
I'm very grateful, Robbie.
Dad saved him, not me.
I'm so thankful to all of you.
So long.
He's a lucky boy.
Well, what do you say we get back to our fishing?
That's a great idea.
Uh-oh.
It's probably the hospital.
I have to get to a phone.
It probably means we can't stay.
That's OK.
One of my patients has a high fever.
I have to go to the hospital.
I'm sorry, Robbie.
I guess I ruined your day.
You didn't ruin my day, Dad.
I understand.
I really do.
Oh, why are you back so early?
Oh, Phillip had to go back to the hospital.
He had an emergency.
Oh, that's too bad, Robbie.
Did it spoil your fun?
No, Mom.
We had a great time.
Well, did you do any fishing?
Yeah, we caught lots of them.
Look.
They had a special on frozen fish down at the supermarket.
Oh, you really had a bad day.
We had a good day.
Robbie pulled a boy out of the water.
And Dad saved his life.
He's a terrific doctor, Mom.
I know.
Oh, hi, Pop.
Hi, son.
Hello, Dad.
What a day.
How about a cup of coffee, son?
I'd love a cup of coffee.
How is the patient?
She'll be fine.
Was it serious?
No.
Until today, I was never really interested in medicine.
Well, it's hard work.
Now I know.
I had a good time today, Robbie.
Me too.
Why don't we do it again?
Can we?
When?
How about next Saturday?
Won't you be busy?
I'm changing my schedule.
Well, do we have a date?
We sure do, Dad.
Grandpa, can you come?
I have other plans, Robbie.
But I think you two can have a good time together without me.
No, Dad.
Certainly not without the right magic.
Maybe we can spend some time together next weekend.
Maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe we can spend some time together.
Maybe we can stay at home.
Maybe get away.
Oh, yeah.
Because I really like to be it again another day.
Maybe we can go bowling and golf would be fun to play.
Maybe we can play baseball or go fishing on a summer, fishing on a summer day.
What do you say we get back to our fishing?
What do you say we keep on fishing till the day is through?
Why don't we do it again?
Why don't we do it?
Why don't we do it?
Why don't we do it again?
Why don't we find the time?
Hey, what do you say?
Another day.
