Mother and Son1984

Arthur Beare:
Well, there's nothing definate yet. But, there's a slight possibly that I might be getting a new job.

Maggie Beare:
I thought you already had a job?

Arthur Beare:
This is another job.

Maggie Beare:
Two jobs, Arthur? Is that fair? Some poor people don't even have one job these days.

Arthur Beare:
I have to leave the job that I've got now.

Maggie Beare:
Is that wise with jobs so scarce? Your father never left a job, Arthur. He was reliable. He had the same job for forty eight years, and he never had one day off. Except, when he went to the war, of course. But that was different.

Arthur Beare:
This is different.

Maggie Beare:
You're not going to the war. It's over, surely?

Arthur Beare:
I might be going to work in Canberra.

Maggie Beare:
In Canberra?

Arthur Beare:
Yes mum.

Maggie Beare:
Well, well, well. I knew they had the government, but I didn't know anybody worked there.
