Susan: Hi, Michelle. Hello, Harry. It's nice to see you again.

    Michelle: Hello.

    Harry: Hi, Susan. We have both been excited about seeing you and having lunch with you today. Michelle picked these flowers out for you.

    Michelle: Daddy, can we go soon?

    Harry: We're going to go to lunch in a few minutes, honey.

    Michelle: But I'm thirsty.

    Harry: OK. You go out and get a drink of water at the fountain.

    Susan: The fountain is over there, Michelle. Near the Exit sign.

    Michelle: Thank you.

    Harry: Michelle is a little shy.

    Susan: I used to be that way when I was her age. Harry, if Michelle doesn't want to go, we don't have to.

    Harry: She'll be fine. Remember, I haven't dated anyone else since her mother died. This is a little difficult for her. Are you ready to go?

    Susan: Yes. But could you wait one minute? I have a call to make. Would you excuse me?

    Susan: Sam, get Mr. Levine a Toytown Stores on the telephone for me, please.

    Sam: Right. Hello. Susan Stewart calling Mr. Levine, Susan Stewart. I find myself in an barrassing situation. I made another lunch date for today and forgot to enter it in my appointment book. Can you and I meet for drinks tomorrow? I'd really appreciate it…… Yes……Thank you……Tomorrow at five o'clock at the Biltrnore. I'll see you then.

    thank you, Mr.Levine.

    Waiter: Welcome to the South Street Restaurant, folks. What'll it be?

    Harry: What do you recommend?

    Waiter: Well, the crab salad's always a big hit.

    Harry: Susan, would you like the crab salad?

    Susan: I'd love the crab salad.

    Harry: Michelle, would you like to try the crab salad, too?

    Michelle: OK, Daddy.

    Harry: We'll have three crab salads and a pitcher of lemonade.

    Waiter: Help yourself to celery and carrots and other vegetables.

    Harry: We used to catch crabs.

    Susan: Where was that?

    Harry: We had a summer house on Fire island. Do you remember, Michelle?

    Michelle: Sure. You and Mommy used to take me on the ferryboat.

    Harry: Sometimes, at night, we would go down to the beach and catch crabs, remember?

    Michelle: With a piece of meat on a string!

    Harry: Right. Well, I think I'm going to go get us all some vegetables.

    Waiter: There you go.

    Susan: Thank you.

    Waiter: And some ice-cold lemonade.

    Susan: Thank you.

    Waiter: Enjoy it.

    Susan: Michelle, can I help you with the lemonade?

    Michelle: No, thank you, I'll wait for my father.

    Susan: Michelle, can we have a talk?

    Michelle: Sure.

    Susan: I know you miss your mother.

    Michelle: You do? Susan: Yes. And I'm not trying to take her place.

    Michelle: Then why are you and Daddy spending so much time together?

    Susan: Because we like each other. And right now, he needs a friend.

    Michelle: I'm his friend.

    Susan: I know you are.

    Michelle: Sometimes he's very sad.

    Susan: And so are you, I think.

    Michelle: Sometimes.

    Susan: I'd like to be your friend, too. Will you let me be your friend, Michelle?

    Harry: So, what were you two talking about?

    Michelle: Just girl talk, daddy. It's too hard to explain.

    Harry: You're probably right. Well, let's get started.
