    Alexandra: Hi, Robbie.

    Robbie: Hi, Alexandra. Come on in. Do you want something cold to drink?

    Alexandra: I'd love some cola, please.

    Robbie: Cola coming up. I really appreciate you coming over to help with my math. My final exam is next Tuesday.

    Alexandra: You're so good in all your other subjects. I just can't understand why you have so many problems with math.

    Grandpa: Hi, Alexandra.

    Alexandra: Hi, Mr. Stewart.

    Grandpa: I thought that was Nat Baker who rang the front doorbell. Don't let me interrupt you.

    Robbie: No problem, Grandpa. We're just having some cola before getting to tough stuff-math.

    Alexandra: He'll do anything to avoid getting down to math lessons, Mr.Stewart.

    Grandpa: I was the same way.

    Robbie: Really, Grandpa?

    Grandpa: Really. I didn't like math, I wasn't good at it, and I didn't like studying it.

    Robbie: But you had to be good at math. You graduated from engineering school.

    Grandpa: I was. But not in high school. For some reason, I couldn't get a handle on it. Then, in college. I became good at it.

    Alexandra: Then there's hope for Robbie.

    Robbie: I can't wait. You think I can just skip it now and get to it at college?

    Alexandra: You'll never get to college to find out, Robbie, if you skip it now.

    Grandpa: That must be Nat.

    Alexandra: Sit down, Robbie. Let's get to work.

    Grandpa: I'd like you to meet my friend Nat Baker. This is Alexandra Pappas, and this is my grandson Robbie, whom I think you've met once twice before.

    Alexandra: Nice to meet you, Mr. Baker.

    Robbie: Hi, Mr.Baker. We met before.

    Nat: Where?

    Robbie: In town. At the hardware store.

    Nat: I remember now. Right. Hi. Hello, Alexandra.

    Grandpa: Don't let us keep you from your math tutoring, Robbie. I know you want to get to it.

    Robbie: Stay...stay.

    Alexandra: I told you. He'll use any excuse to avoid math.

    Nat: Did you read the story in the IT, Malcolm?

    Grandpa: I did.

    Nat: It's a serious matter for a lot of us. A serious matter.

    Grandpa: It is. Come on out to the patio. We'll talk about it out there.

    Nat: Thanks. Nice to meet you...again.

    Alexandra: What's the problem?

    Robbie: Come on? You'll hear about it.
