Philip: One of my patients has a high fever, and I have to go to the hospital. I'm sorry, Robbie. I guess I ruined your day.
Robbie: You didn't ruin my day, Dad. I understand. I really do.

Ellen: Why are you back so early?
Grandpa: Philip had to go back to the hospital.
Robbie: He had an emergency.
Ellen: Oh, that's too bad, Robbie. Did it spoil your fun?
Robbie: No, Mom. We had a great time.
Ellen: Well, did you do any fishing?
Robbie: Yeah, we caught lots of them. Look! They had a special on frozen fish down at the supermarket.
Ellen: Oh, you really had a bad day.
