Father:What’s wrong with being a lawyer? Lawyers help people and are respected by others.
Son:Yes, but I’m not interested in law. I want to work in a studio, not a court.
Grandfather:(looking at Father) Calm down. OK?
Father:(ignoring Grandfather’s words) Stop daydreaming! Playing in a band is not a job.
Son:Of course it is! The music industry is developing fast now. Making music is a job.
Grandfather:(stepping between Father and Son and raising his voice) Hey! I told you to calm down, both of you!
Father:But I told him to study something useful at university!
Grandfather:(laughing) Easy, son! I remember when you were his age, you said that you wanted to be a professional football player.
Father:And you wanted me to be an engineer!
Grandfather:I just wanted you to be happy, and an engineer -- a happy engineer.

Grandfather:I just wanted you to be happy, and an engineer -- a happy engineer.
Father:But in the end, you just advised me to think carefully.
Grandfather:Yes, and you have found the career that suits your talents. I’m so proud of you.
Your son is proud of you, too.
Son:Of course I am, but I have different talents.
Grandfather:(turning to Son) Why don’t you also take my advice and think carefully before jumping in with both feet?
Son:Well, I could try...
Grandfather:If you go to university and play music at the same time, you will have two options for your future. And I’m sure playing in a band will help you make lots of new
friends at university.
Father:Yes, lots of new lawyer friends!
Son:(with a sigh) Dad ...
