Oh come along, Robbie. You must do your homework. Now come over here.
You can’t tell me what to do! You’re not my father!!!
Well no, I’m not your father. I know that. Of course I’m not your father. But your father’s…not here…at the moment…Is he?
My father's coming back.
Good. I’m glad he’s coming back…
I’m waiting for him.
Yes. But while he’s away - I’m here. Because I think your mother wants me to be here. And…I hope…that you like me to be here too. No-one can take your father’s place. But I can try to help you and your mother. To help you in the house - and to help you to be a bit happier, sometimes.
But you don’t belong here, do you?
Well, as you know, I come from a very long way away. But perhaps I can try to belong here…just a little bit. Perhaps I can be your friend.
Not if you make me do my homework…
