Reporter: Did you have a job in South Africa?
Rocky:My first real job, my first professional job, was after l graduated from
college. I went to library school and I graduated from library school, so I

library school. So that was the beginning of my career.

Mother: Well, thank you, Bob. Oh, they're lovely. Uhoh. I hear something in
the kitchen. If you'll excuse me, . . .
Bob: Sure.
Father: Well, come on over and have a seat.
Bob: Thanks.
Father:So, what do you plan to do when you graduate, Bob? I'm not sure yet.
I'm really interested in the theater.
Father: Oh, but you don't want to be an actor.
There's no future in it. Have you thought about law or medicine? I keep
telling Helen that she should go into law.
Bob: Law. Yes, l've been thinking about law, too, actually. I think I may try
to get into law school.
