[Mr. Prevert is watching Alasdair and Ben playing Atari Pac-Man]

Mr. Prevert:
Oh! Video games, video games! That's all you kids do nowadays. Sitting in front of that stupid screen!

Ben:
It's not true Dad. Sometimes we go to the arcade.

Mr. Prevert:
You know what your trouble is?

Alasdair:
Our trouble is you can't break 100,000.

Mr. Prevert:
Oh no. Your trouble is you've got no ambition.

Ben:
You have no idea what it's like being a kid today!

Alasdair:
Yeah, I mean the pressures are enormous.

Ben:
In your day, it was easy. You had a choice of being a doctor, lawyer.

Alasdair:
Yeah, now there's space exploration, computer science, hi-tech.

Ben:
Recreology, oceanography.

Mr. Prevert:
Yeah well, you know I never really did think of it in exactly that way. I guess it is scary.

Alasdair:
Oh it sure is.

Mr. Prevert:
Well I mean there's so many choices, there's so many new fields opening up.

Alasdair:
Yeah.

Mr. Prevert:
By the way, are you two guys got any idea in what direction in what you're leaning profession wise?

Ben:
I think I'd like to be a doctor.

Alasdair:
I think I've decided to be a lawyer.
