A Place of Our Own ACT I
to Richard about it 我就跟Richard商量
the minute he comes home. 他一回来。
And remember, 记住，
we love having you here. 我们喜欢你们住这儿。
There's no need to rush. 没有必要急急忙忙分开。
I remember when I was pregnant with Richard,
Philip and I were living
with Grandma and Grandpa.
Philip was a young doctor
and he kept talking about
having a house of our own.
It's natural.
I remember when Philip
and I wanted a place of our own,
like Marilyn and Richard want one now.
All people dream of a place of their own.
Some people dream of a farm house in the country.
Other people dream about owning
an apartment in the city.
Philip and I had our dreams too.
Philip wanted a ranch style house in Riverdale,
With a front door where his patients
could enter his first medical office.
I wanted to live in Riverdale too.
But I wanted a Spanish style house,
like the one I grew up in with tiles on the roof.
So, we looked in the real-estate section
of the newspaper.
We read about lots of houses for sale,
and we want to see a real-estate agent
as Marilyn and Richard are going to do.
We looked at lots and lots of houses,
but we didn't have enough money
to buy any of them.
Richard and Marilyn
don't have much money, either.
Maybe they won't be able to afford a house.
It's funny.
History repeats itself.
Richard and I are having a baby.
And we probably won't be able to
afford a house right away, either.
We couldn't afford one right away.
But we kept looking and later after Richard was born,
we bought a house here in Riverdale.
It was small and it didn't have much land,
but I loved it.
Philip and I both loved it.
Because finally we had
a place of our own.
