Marilyn: I'm so glad everyone is asleep. I thought Max would be crying, and everybody would be a wake.
     Richard: What did I tell you? Nothing to worry about.
     Susan: I'm sure everything is fine. My mother knows all there is to know about taking care of babies, I assure you.
     Harry: Let's put some of this stuff away and then take off. We've got a forty-minute drive into the city.
     Ellen: Welcome home-and I do mean welcome home.
     Richard: Something wrong?
     Ellen: Oh, nothing's wrong, Richard. Believe me, Max is fine. But his teeth hurt, and he just can't get to sleep, poor dear.
     Susan: Neither can you.
     Marilyn: Oh, I feel so bad.
     Ellen: Oh, I'm fine. How was your weekend?
     Harry: We had a great time, Mom.
     Richard: It was wonderful. The weather couldn't have been better.
     Ellen: It was nice here, too.
     Marilyn: Did you get a chance to get outside at all?
     Ellen: Oh, yes. Grandpa helped me yesterday afternoon. I went to the supermarket to get a few things, and I stayed out an extra half hour. The village was filled people-the weather was so nice.
     Richard: Harry's a professional camper, Mom. He knows all there is to know, and he made the weekend very easy for us to enjoy.
     Harry: Come on. You all helped.
     Susan: You were wonderful, Harry!
     Marilyn: Why don't you go to your room, Mom, and get some sleep.
     Ellen: Oh, I'm fine. Tell me more about your weekend. Did you do anything special?
     Susan: Lots of special country things. We picked flowers.
     Marilyn: And we brought some home for you. It was so nice to be out in the country.
     Ellen: They smell wonderful.
     Marilyn: Everything smelled so special. It would have been great if we had been able to bottle the smells.
     Harry: It would be a great business if you could do that.
     Ellen: Oh!
     Marilyn: Uh, we're home now, Ellen. We'll take care of it.
     Richard: I'll take care of it. Let's see if it works.
     Ellen: What's that?
     Richard: A little we'd better head home. It's getting late, and we have a bit of a drive.
     Harry: Well, all your things are inside. There's your sleeping bag.
     Marilyn: Oh, thanks, Harry.
     Harry: Say good-bye to Richard. We'll call you all tomorrow night.
     Marilyn: Good-bye.
     Susan: Bye, Mom.
     Ellen: Bye-bye.
     Marilyn: Bye.
     Ellen: I'm so tired I think I'm overtired. I don't know if I can get to sleep.
     Ellen: Max has stopped crying.
     Marilyn: Yes. It works!
     Richard: It works!
     Ellen: What works?
     Richard: This.
     Ellen: Oh. Oh, where did you get that? It sounds so nice. I think I'm falling asleep.
     Richard: Like Max did.
     Richard: Good night.
     Marilyn: Good night. Sounds of the country. The soothing sounds of the country.
