00:00:15:09 00:00:16:50 <i>Narrator:</i>   One. Emma<br/>
00:00:17:66 00:00:20:12 <i>Emma:</i>   My parents have a bottled
water business.<br/>
00:00:20:51 00:00:21:14 <i>Woman:</i>   A what?<br/>
00:00:21:74 00:00:23:28 <i>Emma:</i>   A bottled water business.
00:00:23:67 00:00:26:70 You know, they sell all different kinds of bottled water
.<br/>
00:00:27:40 00:00:28:24 <i>Woman:</i>   Oh, really?<br/>
00:00:28:60 00:00:29:03 <i>Emma:</i>   Yeah.<br/>
00:00:29:40 00:00:31:17 <i>Woman:</i>   Well, that sounds intere
sting.<br/>
00:00:31:69 00:00:35:37 <i>Emma:</i>   Yeah, so they want me to
get involved in that, too.
00:00:35:96 00:00:36:75 Be part of it.
00:00:37:23 00:00:43:15 Like my mom wants me to learn more about bottled water a
nd everything, but I'm not really into it.
00:00:43:77 00:00:45:13 I guess I could learn.
00:00:45:84 00:00:49:00 Mom says she'll teach me all about it when I finish coll
ege.
00:00:49:56 00:00:50:80 She really wants me to . . .<br/><br/>
00:00:53:99 00:00:55:50 <i>Narrator:</i>   Two. Robert<br/>
00:00:56:76 00:00:58:15 <i>Robert:</i>   I'm in medical school.
00:00:58:57 00:01:00:10 This is my third year.
00:01:00:54 00:01:03:73 It's good, but it's pretty difficult, you know.<br/>
00:01:04:03 00:01:04:52 <i>Man:</i>   Uh-huh.<br/>
00:01:04:88 00:01:06:25 <i>Robert:</i>   There's a lot to do.
00:01:06:60 00:01:08:06 I never seem to have much time.<br/>
00:01:08:91 00:01:09:54 <i>Man:</i>   Sure.<br/>
00:01:09:91 00:01:16:86 <i>Robert:</i>   And this year I have to
work long hours at the hospital, so I don't really have much time for anything
else.
00:01:17:35 00:01:21:65 My parents are always complaining because they don't see
me very much.
00:01:22:02 00:01:29:46 I mean, I go home every day, so that's OK, but they want
me to call them every day from work.<br/><br/>
00:01:32:75 00:01:34:30 <i>Narrator:</i>   Three. Jim<br/>
00:01:35:51 00:01:39:21 <i>Jim:</i>   I really have to do some t
hinking about what I'm going to do with my life.<br/>
00:01:39:53 00:01:40:07 <i>Man:</i>   Yeah.<br/>
00:01:40:50 00:01:44:77 <i>Jim:</i>   You see, I want to go out
and see the world before I'm too old.
00:01:45:20 00:01:47:37 I've never really been anywhere.<br/>
00:01:48:64 00:01:48:13 <i>Man:</i>   Uh-huh.
00:01:48:58 00:01:50:43 What do your parents think about that?
00:01:50:82 00:01:53:25 I mean, don't they want you to get your degree first?&lt
;br/>
00:01:53:55 00:01:55:09 <i>Jim:</i>   No, they're OK with it.
00:01:55:58 00:01:58:24 They pretty much let me make my own decisions.
00:01:58:54 00:02:05:98 The only thing they worry about is that maybe they won't
have grandchildren, you know, that I'll never get married and have kids.
00:02:06:74 00:02:10:98 So, one day they want me to get married and start a fami
ly.<br/><br/>
00:02:14:15 00:02:15:92 <i>Narrator:</i>   Four. Justin<br/>
00:02:17:00 00:02:19:15 <i>Justin:</i>   I think I'm going to mo
ve to New York.<br/>

00:02:19:99 00:02:20:60 <i>Man:</i>   Uh-huh.


00:02:21:17 00:02:23:22 Your grandparents live there, right?<br/>
00:02:23:50 00:02:24:05 <i>Justin:</i>   Yeah.
00:02:24:57 00:02:27:03 I'd like to be closer to my grandparents.
00:02:27:41 00:02:31:75 They're getting older, you know, and I want to live a bi
t nearer.<br/>
00:02:32:18 00:02:33:09 <i>Man:</i>   That's nice.<br/>
00:02:33:72 00:02:38:69 <i>Justin:</i>   Yeah, I'd like to be li
ke an hour's drive from their house or something.
00:02:39:29 00:02:50:18 Uh, I mean, I told my grandma I was thinking of coming t
o New York, and she said, "Oh great. There are some great apartments around here
!"
00:02:50:81 00:02:56:86 And I said, "Grandma, I didn't mean I was going to be yo
ur neighbor!"
00:02:57:55 00:03:02:78 But, actually, I think they'd really like me to move to
their neighborhood.
