Mr. Prevert, Ben and others in “Ambition”

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

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

BBen

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

You know what your trouble is?

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

Oh no. Your trouble is you've got no ambition.

BBen

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

Yeah, I mean the pressures are enormous.

BBen

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

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

BBen

Recreology, oceanography.

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

Oh it sure is.

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

Yeah.

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

BBen

I think I'd like to be a doctor.

I think I've decided to be a lawyer.
