ACT I 


Robbie, this new Walkman is absolutely wonderful. Robbie µ  
Richard and Marilyn bought it for me for my birthday. RichardMariilyn͸ҵ 
They're so thoughtful. ܵ 
You are very lucky, Robbie, to have such a nice family. Robbie  ӵһܰļҡ 
Is something wrong, Alexandra? Alexandra  
No, nothing. û ûʲᡣ 
Yes, there is.   
I can tell. ܾ쵽 
What's the matter? ׷ʲ 
Come on, you can tell me. ˵ ҡ 
What's up? ʲ 
I don't know. Ҳ˵ 
Something's wrong. е㲻Ծ 
OK, let's talk. ð Ǿ̸̸ 
I received a letter from my parents this morning. յĸһ š 
Did they write some bad news? дʲỵϢ 
No. ûС 
Well, then why are you so sad?   Ϊʲ紴ѹ 
I miss them.  
I miss them very much. ҷǳǡ 
I'm sorry, Alexandra. Ϊ ѹ Alexaandra 
But I understand. ⡣ 
The Molinas treat me so nicely, Molinaһ˶Һܺ 
and I love being with your family so much ... ҲϲǼһ  
but when I received the letter ǵյǷ 
with photographs of my family, I cried. ͬƬʱ  ˡ 
I cried because I miss them all. ҿ Ϊ ǡ 
You really miss your family, don't you? ǳ ļ  
Yes. I know I must seem silly. ǵ ֪ҿ ܿЦ 
It's not like I have nobody.  û׽ ˡ 
I like the Molinas very much, ҺϲMolinaһ 
and they're so kind to me. Ƕá 
Hey, why don't we go out  Ǻβȥ 
for a cheeseburger and french fries? һʿ  
That'll cheer you up.  泩Щ 
That'll cheer you up.  泩Щ 
And you can use my Walkman. ҵ 
That's a good idea. ⡣ 
But if we go out, ǳȥ 
please don't complain ɱϱԹ 
about your math teacher or your math homework. ѧʦ㵵 ѧҵ 
I want to have fun. Ҫֵ 
So do I. Ҳ롣 
I have to turn off the lights, ҵùص 
or else my father will get really angry. ҪȻ ҰְֻẺ  
He says I never turn them out when I leave. ˵뿪ʱӲ ơ 
If they come home and they're on ... Ҫǻ  
Do you hear something? ʲ 
Yes. ǵ 
What was that? ʲ 
It sounded like a dog barking. 񹷽С 
It sounded like a dog barking right here.   С 
Yeah. ԡ 
A dog!  
A springer spaniel! һ ɹ 
Come on in!  
Make yourself at home. Ҫ 
Oh, you poor little thing. С 
Come here.  
Come on.  
Poor baby. С 
Where did you come from?   
Her name's Gemma, Gemma 
and she belongs to Mr. and Mrs. Levinson. Levinson򸾼ҵ  
There's a phone number -- е绰 
five five five ... eight four four eight. 555 8448 
Robbie, maybe you should call them Robbie ҲӦ Ǵ绰 
and tell the Levinsons we have their cute little spaniel. Levinson ɰСȮ  
I've always wanted a springer spaniel. һֱҪһ   
She's so cute.  ɰ 
The number you are calling -- 555-8448 -- ĵ绰5555 8448 
is no longer in service. ǿպš 
The number's no longer in service. ǿպš 
Oh, you poor, poor baby.  С  
You've lost your family. ޼ҿɹˡ 
We'll find them. ǻҵǵ 
Don't worry, Alexandra.  Alexandraa 


Alexandra and I are such good friends. 
We listen to music together 
and go places together 
and talk about things. 
Like today, Alexandra was so unhappy 
and I didn't understand why at first. 
I received a letter from my parents this morning. 
Did they write some bad news? 
No. 
Well, then why are you so sad? 
Then I realized that Alexandra was lonely. 
She was so lonely without her family. 
You really miss your family, don't you? 
Yes. I know I must seem silly. 
It's not like I have nobody. 
I like the Molinas very much 
and they are so kind to me. 
She seemed so sad. 
I had to cheer her up. 
I got an idea. 
We always have such a good time 
when we go out together. 
Hey, why don't we go out for a cheeseburger 
and french fries? 
That will cheer you up. 
But then Gemma showed up. 
A dog. 
I think Alexandra felt better. 
She wasn't the only one who missed her family. 
Gemma did too. 
Gemma looked so lonely. 
With such a sad face, 
and Alexandra understood. 
Oh, you poor, poor baby. 
You've lost your family. 
Don't worry, Alexandra. 
We'll find them.
