Family Album USA -- Episode 01, ACT II

 

AL is looking for Richard's house. She ask a police how to get Linden Street in Riverdale. The police tell her to take the No.1 train.

Ellen is working in the store. One of her customers is keep trying clothes, one after another. She want to buy a sweater, but the first one is too bright a color for her. The second is too small. Then, Ellen looks for her an green sweater of size ten. She tries it on and it looks terrific. The customer notices that Ellen is keep looking at the watch. Ellen tell that she is waiting for her husband, who should have come fifteen minutes ago. The customer comforts her to take it easy. It's reasonable for him to be late, because of the heavy traffic. 

Richard arrives at Ellen's store at ten after six. All the customers have left at that time. Richard tells Ellen that he is late because he left his bag of file on the ferry, which contains all his whole day's work. He went back to for it but the ferry was gone. Hearing this, Ellen thinks they should try to call Staten Island Ferry lost-and-found office. First, she calls the telephone number searching service, to ask for the number of Staten Island Ferry lost-and-found office: 555-0808. Then, she calls the lost-and-found office but got nothing. At last, they go home disappointly.
