[00:00.00]Hi Nancy.
[00:42.81]Augh!!,Jamie.You look like you're having fun.
[00:46.34]I guess I am.
[00:48.30]I probably haven't done this since Beth was little.
[00:53.26]Sometimes I think we have children just so that we can play again.
[00:57.91]Definitely.I still love to jump rope.
[01:02.46]Well,I was just bringing you some of your mail.
[01:05.62]I fear our current mail carrier will never get it completely right.
[01:10.58]He's something,isn't he?He's so bad,he's almost entertaining.
[01:14.95]Almost.
[01:16.30]Jamie,did you live here when we had the neighborhood bonfires?
[01:21.45]You've been here at least as long as we have ,right?
[01:24.32]I think we've lived here longer than anyone;
[01:27.17]except the Carozzas and the Doyles.
[01:30.70]Do you remember those bonfires?They were great,weren't they?They were so big you'd feel hot,even thought it was freezing out.
[01:38.87]They're against the law now.Yes,to protect the environment.
[01:44.52]I know.But I love a big bonfire so much,I'd almost be willing to break the law.
[01:52.77]Oh come on.
[01:54.31]Got a match?Nah.I'll stick to raking them.
[01:59.88]Well,I'll leave you to it.
[02:02.51]Oh,next time it rains.
[02:04.97]wear your galoshes just in case you find a puddle you want to jump into.
[02:23.02]Yvonne. Nancy,You did it.You've come up with  a marvelous proposal.
[02:38.88]I love it.and I want to start the work right away.
[02:41.83]No,no Don't thank me.I should thank you.You did so mush work.
[02:46.69]But I want to tell you,it's not just the plans and taste.
[02:51.65]I know you will turn these humble rooms into a creative expression of my personality.
[02:57.42]For this,I thank you.
[02:59.98]You see.I feel you truly understand me.
[03:04.42]You are really the kind of designers I 've wished for all along.
[03:09.60]And I don't have to tell you how fond Antonio is of both of you.
[03:14.95]But,there are some things to discuss.
[03:20.52]Some of the furniture simply won't do.
[03:23.86]And you snuck a carpet into the design you bad girls.But we can go into that later.
[03:30.23]Today is a celebration.I so look forward to working with you.
[03:35.69]To us,and to a beautiful home.
[03:39.53]Ah,Now there's nothing left to discuss today,is there?No?Lovely.
[03:50.19]Please excuse me,but I must fly.Antonio will see you out.Till next time.Ciao.
[04:03.04]Oh Douglas.Yvonne and Nancy aren't back yet.
[04:25.40]I'm hoping that a long meeting means they were given the project.
[04:29.17]They do deserve  it.
[04:30.71]Would you like something to drink?No thanks.
[04:36.06]So,do you feel like reading a speech?
[04:39.01]A speech?Oh your speech.
[04:42.46]No,no, I don't want to read it.Speeches are made,Richard,
[04:46.82]Go ahead.Let's hear it.

[05:05.40]Is this like a sneak preview?Yep.Go ahead,Richard.We're all ears.
[05:11.95]Good morning,fellow citizens.
[05:16.92]It was once said by a prominent politocian...
[05:20.89]Has our trust in government been abused?...
[05:26.03]There matters must be dealt with.
[05:31.91]It was once thougth that poloiticians...
[05:37.37]Thank you and good day.My god ,was it that bad?
[05:46.44]It didn't really sound like you,Dad.
[05:50.09]You know what?
[05:53.15]You're using way too much of the passive voice.
[05:56.60]People won't know how dynamic you are
[05:59.16]if you don't communicate in a dynamic way.
[06:02.21]It's begun.
[06:06.58]There-make of Richard Hobart.Let me see that speech.
