Alastair: How is your mother feeling these days?
George: Much better, thanks. She'll be back home in a few days.
Alastair: That's wonderful. When will you be back at your job?
George: I think I'll need a week to take care of her and do some cleaning.
Alastair: Why don't you hire someone to do it? You'll be able to work and also have more free time.
George: I prefer to do it myself.
Alastair: You're a kind and thoughtful man. I admire you very much.
George: I'm just a regular son.
Alastair inquires about George's mother and suggests hiring someone to take care of her, but George insists on doing it by himself.
