[01:54.36]Michelle and I have all kinds of feelings [01:56.22]about leaving New York, the family, and friends. [01:59.56]But if you think you should take the job, we're behind you. [02:04.67]What about Michelle's school? [02:06.13]We'll move after the school term. [02:08.82]What about her new friends? [02:10.55]I'll make new friends wherever we are as long as we're together.

[02:42.57]No, I did not take the job. [02:45.68]But, Daddy, I thought ... [02:47.22]Harry, you didn't turn it down because of me ... [02:49.64]Or me? [02:50.41]No, no. I turned it down because of me. [02:53.21]How's that? [02:54.40]Well, I began to think about you and about Michelle, [02:59.13]and then I asked myself, [03:00.47]do I really want to work for the biggest company in the country [03:04.50]And? [03:05.81]And I don't. [03:07.23]I went into business for myself [03:08.62]because I like being my own boss. [03:11.96]I run my own company. I'm a big fish in a little pond. [03:15.91]I'm not really sure I want to be a little fish in a big pond. [03:19.45]Oh, Daddy, does that mean we don't have to move? [03:22.10]That's right, sweetheart. [03:24.25]Are you sure? [03:26.36]I couldn't be more sure, Susan. [03:29.74]I'm glad if you are, Harry. [03:31.89]And besides, [03:33.25]how could I live in Los Angeles [03:35.30]when all my favorite people live here?
