晚上，Philip从医院回来。Robbie表达了对父亲的敬慕。Philip决定改动工作日程，再带Robbie去钓鱼。Grandpa却“功成身退”，要让他们父子两个单独去玩一次。

Philip: Hi, Pop. Hi, Son.
Robbie: Hello, Dad.
Philip: What a day!
Grandpa: How about a cup of coffee, Son?
Philip: I'd love a cup of coffee.
Robbie: How was the patient?
Philip: She'll be fine.
Robbie: Was it serious?
Philip: No.
Robbie: Until today, I was never really interested in medicine.
Philip: Well, it's hard work.
Robbie: Now I know.
Philip: I had a good time today, Robbie.
Robbie: Me, too.
Philip: Why don't we do it again?
Robbie: Can we? When?
Philip: How about next Saturday?
Robbie: Won't you be busy?
Philip: I'm changing my schedule. Well, do we have a date?
Robbie: We sure do, Dad. Grandpa, can you come?
Grandpa: I have other plans, Robbie. But I think you two can have a good time together without me.
Philip: No, Dad, certainly not without the right magic.
