Robbie: I'll get it. Hello.
Alexandra: Hello. Does Richard Stewart live here?
Robbie: Yes, he's my brother. I'm Robbie...Robbie Stewart.

Susan: Hi. Welcome.
Richard: I'm so glad you found the bag and took the time and trouble to return it.
Alexandra: Oh, it was no trouble. I just took the wrong train.
Ellen: Would you like something to eat?
Alexandra: Thank you, no. I'm late for dinner at my house. I really have to go.
Richard: Would you like to call home?
Alexandra: I'd appreciate that.
Ellen: Please, use the phone.
Alexandra: Thanks. Excuse me.

Alexandra: Thank you. I can only stay a few minutes.
Ellen: Have some iced tea.
Alexandra: Thanks, Mrs. Stewart.
Robbie: Please sit down, Alexandra.
Philip: So, you're an exchange student. Where do you go to school?
Alexandra: At the Bronx High School of Science.
Philip: Oh, that's a very good school. What are your favorite subjects?
Alexandra: Biology and Mathematics. Richard tells me you're a doctor.
Philip: Yes, a pediatrician. And what does your father do?
Alexandra: He's a lawyer, in Thessaloniki.
Robbie: Would you like some pasta? I made it myself. It might be a little cold.
Alexandra: Thanks, no. I do have to go. It was nice meeting you all.
Marilyn: Well, maybe you'll come for lunch some Sunday, so we can really thank you for bringing Richard's bag back.
Alexandra: Maybe.
Ellen: You're welcome anytime.
Philip: Good-bye.
Richard: Can I drive you home?
Alexandra: No, thanks. The train is just up the street. It won't take me long at all.
Richard: Well, you really saved the day for me, Alexandra.
Alexandra: Bye.
Richard: Bye-bye.
Ellen: Good night.
Philip: She's a smart young lady, and very nice.
Robbie: Very! Hey, she forgot her bag!
Ellen: I guess we'll be seeing Alexandra again. Right, Robbie?
