Like Father, Like Son

(The living room. Friday night. A table and two chairs at front centre. Grandfather and Father, seated at the table, are playing chess.)

Grandfather: And... I win!

(Son enters room.)

Father: Not again! Oh look, here comes my boy. How are you, son?

Son: (nervously approaching the table) Erm… Dad, can we talk?

Father: Sure! You know you can always turn to your dad for a chat.

Son: OK. Here it is. I’ve decided not to go to university. I want to focus on my band and have a career in music when I leave school.

Father: (raising his voice in surprise) You can’t be serious! What about your future career as a lawyer?!

Son: I knew you’d say that. You just assume I want to be a lawyer, but that’s only because you are a lawyer.

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.

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…
