Well, once I learned about Wellington, I stopped looking. 194 00:11:49,460 --> 00:11:53,340 Maybe you better look again. I mean, California has some fine public 195 00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:57,780 and you've never lived 3 ,000 miles away from your family in the snow. 196 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,060 Right, but it's about time I stopped being a provincial sun freak. 197 00:12:02,820 --> 00:12:06,900 Dad, do you realize how beautiful New England is? You're gonna love it when 198 00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:07,900 come visit me. 199 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,180 I, uh, I don't think that we'll be visiting you in New England. 200 00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:16,070 Then I'll send you lots of postcards. 201 00:12:17,730 --> 00:12:19,630 I'm afraid you won't be seeing it either. 202 00:12:20,310 --> 00:12:22,230 Are you saying you don't approve of Wellington? 203 00:12:22,510 --> 00:12:27,810 Oh, no, no. I approve of it, all right. It's just that... I'm afraid I can't let 204 00:12:27,810 --> 00:12:28,810 you go there. 205 00:12:28,990 --> 00:12:30,690 Daddy, how can you say such a thing? 206 00:12:31,930 --> 00:12:37,330 I'd give anything in the world not to have to say it. It's just that... It has 207 00:12:37,330 --> 00:12:38,510 nothing to do with Wellington. 208 00:12:38,850 --> 00:12:40,210 It has nothing to do with you. 209 00:12:42,050 --> 00:12:43,110 It's all my fault. 210 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:44,520 Your fault. 211 00:12:46,220 --> 00:12:48,000 I don't have the money to send you there. 212 00:12:50,260 --> 00:12:51,980 You don't have the money for me. 213 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,000 Well, then how come you have it for everybody else? 214 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,100 Couldn't we get financial aid from the government? 215 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,630 Well... We may be too poor to send Elizabeth to Wellington, but we're too 216 00:13:13,630 --> 00:13:14,630 to accept subsidies. 217 00:13:15,010 --> 00:13:18,490 That's why they call it middle class. You get squeezed from all directions. 218 00:13:19,470 --> 00:13:21,410 Couldn't Elizabeth get a student loan? 219 00:13:21,670 --> 00:13:25,670 What? Do you know what kind of a debt would be hanging on her? About $40 ,000? 220 00:13:26,170 --> 00:13:29,790 That's a little double -digit exaggeration, isn't it? No, it isn't. I 221 00:13:29,790 --> 00:13:35,270 not just tuition. It's room and board and books and the student health plan. 222 00:13:35,270 --> 00:13:38,510 to mention the flight out, the flight back, and all those... 223 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,280 Cross -country phone calls. 224 00:13:40,580 --> 00:13:42,000 Elizabeth could write letters. 225 00:13:42,540 --> 00:13:43,540 Today, 226 00:13:43,780 --> 00:13:46,940 you trade money this size for stamps this size. 227 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,180 No, no, she'll just have to go to a California state college like her 228 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:52,640 She's going to hate that. 229 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,320 Yeah, well, that's too bad. There's nothing else we can do. 230 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,760 I should have started a savings account for Elizabeth when she was first born. 231 00:14:00,740 --> 00:14:03,480 Trouble is, when she was first born, I had nothing to start it with. 232 00:14:04,100 --> 00:14:06,460 She had that old Bradford family habit. 233 00:14:07,050 --> 00:14:08,050 Needing groceries. 234 00:14:11,710 --> 00:14:13,350 Did you read this last page? 235 00:14:13,890 --> 00:14:18,470 No. I was struck deaf, blind, and dumb from the prices on the other page. 236 00:14:19,010 --> 00:14:20,010 Well, read it. 237 00:14:20,590 --> 00:14:21,870 Right here. Where? 238 00:14:23,310 --> 00:14:27,450 The Sarah Wellington Dance Scholarship. 239 00:14:27,710 --> 00:14:32,230 It's four years full tuition. And if you could get the Sarah Wellington 240 00:14:32,230 --> 00:14:35,580 Scholarship... Well, then that means that Wellington would cost the same 241 00:14:35,580 --> 00:14:39,020 as we're paying for Mary, Joanie, and Susan. We could actually swing it, 242 00:14:39,020 --> 00:14:40,800 Elizabeth. Do you think I could qualify? 243 00:14:41,140 --> 00:14:44,540 You've got the grade. All you have to do is get 700s on your college boards, and 244 00:14:44,540 --> 00:14:45,539 that's a piece of cake. 245 00:14:45,540 --> 00:14:46,379 Mm -mm. 246 00:14:46,380 --> 00:14:48,560 Not when I took them. It was a piece of torture. 247 00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:54,220 Nancy, if you really want to help out in this conversation, go back to sleep. 248 00:14:57,940 --> 00:15:00,360 We'll get the 700s. I'll help you every way I can. 249 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,520 Oh, you don't have the time. I'll make the time. 250 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,220 This scholarship is the only way that we can make Wellington work for you. And 251 00:15:12,220 --> 00:15:13,220 that's what we want, Elizabeth. 252 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,520 We really do. 253 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,740 I know that now, Daddy. 254 00:15:17,060 --> 00:15:18,320 I'm sorry I yelled. 255 00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:22,840 Forget it. I seem to recall I hold a few house records for yelling around here 256 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:23,840 myself. 257 00:15:25,740 --> 00:15:29,340 Now that you're friends again, Daddy, you'd be a lot more helpful if you'd 258 00:15:29,340 --> 00:15:30,340 kiss her goodnight. 259 00:15:30,670 --> 00:15:32,250 All right. It's done. It's done. 260 00:15:32,750 --> 00:15:33,810 Good night, Daddy. 261 00:15:35,330 --> 00:15:36,330 Good night. 262 00:15:36,410 --> 00:15:37,410 Good night. 263 00:15:37,490 --> 00:15:39,170 Okay, Coach, where do we start? 264 00:15:39,710 --> 00:15:41,590 How are you on verbal analogies? 265 00:15:42,070 --> 00:15:45,990 A little shaky, but I'll be better when you tell me what they are. 266 00:15:46,330 --> 00:15:49,550 They're word sets that relate to each other in the same way. 267 00:15:50,030 --> 00:15:53,510 For example, what's the relationship between acorn and oak? 268 00:15:54,130 --> 00:15:58,370 Acorns grow into oaks. Do wheel and car have the same relationship as acorn and 269 00:15:58,370 --> 00:16:02,460 oak? You can't plant a wheel and grow a car. That's good thinking, so it's not a 270 00:16:02,460 --> 00:16:03,459 verbal analogy. 271 00:16:03,460 --> 00:16:07,220 But it sure would solve the transportation problem. Please, no 272 00:16:07,220 --> 00:16:10,580 college boards take their questions in your future deadly serious. 273 00:16:11,220 --> 00:16:12,380 And the next analogy. 274 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,260 Nibble is to bite as itch is to scratch. 275 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:17,800 Think about it. 276 00:16:18,380 --> 00:16:21,200 Nibble is to bite as itch is to hurt. 277 00:16:22,540 --> 00:16:23,980 I'm hurting, I'm hurting. 278 00:16:25,020 --> 00:16:26,020 Wrong. 279 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,020 Okay, then it's 25. 280 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,000 Still wrong. 281 00:16:31,100 --> 00:16:32,900 26. You're putting me on. 282 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:34,760 Elizabeth, look. 283 00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:41,960 The differences increase each time, all right? So the next number is 19 plus 7, 284 00:16:42,060 --> 00:16:43,940 26. You say so. 285 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,520 It doesn't matter what I say. Look, I've already passed this test. You've got to 286 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:52,700 know. Okay, okay. But, you know, math is to Elizabeth like clear as the mud. 287 00:16:56,170 --> 00:16:58,190 I mean, this is a dance scholarship, right? 288 00:16:58,710 --> 00:17:02,650 Sure, it's a dance scholarship, but I've been so busy with verbal analogies and 289 00:17:02,650 --> 00:17:06,069 mathematical sequences that I've forgotten which foot is left and which 290 00:17:06,069 --> 00:17:09,710 right. Oh, no, Elizabeth, come on. You're going to blow it. I mean, you'll 291 00:17:09,710 --> 00:17:12,589 qualify for that scholarship unless you have a knockout dance audition. 292 00:17:13,530 --> 00:17:15,410 Okay, so I'll start rehearsing. Yeah? 293 00:17:16,210 --> 00:17:17,210 Rehearsing what? 294 00:17:17,790 --> 00:17:21,530 I could do that one I did for the junior class frolics. No, you won't.
