NANCY:That's it Klara.We hope you like it.

[00:15.41]KLARA:Wonderful.Thank you.I love what you've done.

[00:19.70]KLARA:Now there are a few things I've been thinking about.

[00:23.50]Some of my original ideas were not quite right.

[00:27.89]For instance,the library as a gentlemen's club?

[00:32.38]I don't like that anymore.And the hallway 1 furniture will have to change.

[00:37.15]The guest room,the maids'rooms,Antonio's dressing 2 room...

[00:52.34]KLARA:And this color scheme 3 strikes me as a little dull.

[01:04.15]Antonio's suggestion is to paint this...

[01:08.83]Now I know that today alone I have handed you two months'of work.

[01:29.62]But I do so want to stay on our original schedule.

[01:33.50]Could you come back in a few weeks?

[01:37.30]YVONNE:No problem! NANCY:No problem!

[01:43.08]RICHARD:Let me get this straight.The comopany is selling vitamins 4.

[01:57.98]JOE:Right.

[01:59.18]RICHARD:And vitamins come from a natural source 5.

[02:01.58]JOE:No.Some vitamins do.These do not.But the label 6 says they're natural.

[02:06.38]RICHARD:This sounds familiar.Didn't we have a case like it a couple of years ago?

[02:10.49]JOE:The bottled water comopany.

[02:12.38]RICHARD:Yeah.They were bottling tap water and calling it mineral water.

[02:16.68]JOE:It's the same company.

[02:18.46]RICHARD:What?We won that case.

[02:21.14]JOE:They're in a new business.Vitamins.

[02:23.83]RICHARD:No,no,no.Let's pursue 7 this one and put an end to it.

[02:28.13]Companies that do this should not be in business.

[02:30.72]JOE:OK.That's it.Time to do home.

[02:35.11]RICHARD:Joe,one more thing. JOE:Yes?

[02:37.90]RICHARD:Nancy and I have talked about it a lot and I am going to run for office.

[02:45.60]I won't announce it for a while,but I wanted you to know.

[02:49.80]JOE:I appreciate that,Richard.Good luck.

[02:54.41]RICHARD:Don't forget to tell Marie. JOE:Right.

[02:57.79]RICHARD:Are you surprised?

[02:59.78]JOE:No.But it won't be easy Richard.

[03:02.57]I always say that leaders are born

[03:05.26]but elected officials are very carefully manufactured 8.

[03:09.55]RICHARD:Hmm.I know. JOE:Let me know if there's anything I can do.

[03:13.03]RICHARD:Thanks,Joe.Manufactured,huh? JOE:Nothing personal.

[03:27.14]NANCY:Hey you.You left laundry 9 in the dryer 10.

[03:47.45]You're supposed to do the whole load yourself start to finish.

[03:51.53]BETH:I forgot.I'm sorry.

[03:54.72]NANCY:So,what do you think of Dad's plans?

[04:01.82]BETH:It's cool I guess.If he wants to do it.Why now?

[04:08.02]NANCY:Well,it happens when you make a name for yourself.

[04:12.10]BETH:But he was just doing his job,right?

[04:15.10]NANCY:Pretty funny,huh?He was doing it so well,he's on the news.

[04:19.01]BETH:Will we be no the news?

[04:20.69]NANCY:Yes,I think so at some point.

[04:25.18]And some people may ask you a lot of questions.

[04:29.38]You have to decide for yourself whether to answer them.

[04:32.57]But you can always come to us and talk about it.You know that,right?

[04:38.95]BETH:Yeah.I just hope they don't get totally invasive.

[04:43.56]NANCY:We'll keep things as normal as possible for ourselves.

[04:47.35]At least here at home.Speaking of which,I am going to the pool tomorrow morning.

[04:53.64]Do you want to go swimming with me?

[04:55.22]BETH:Yes!Oh.What time?

[04:58.70]NANCY:Early,early,early.Oh,come on.It'll be fun.

[05:03.29]We can be in the water by 7:30 in the morning.

[05:05.76]BETH:Mom,you're crazy.

[05:07.85]NANCY:Don't make me go all by myself.

[05:10.51]BETH:Leave at ten and then I'll go with you. Ten!

[05:13.10]Eight o'clock. Nine.

[05:14.78]NANCY:Eight-thirty.Final offer.And breakfast at the Tasty Diner afterwards.

[05:20.38]BETH:Deal. NANCY:Good.Sleep tight
