Western Style Food Versus Chinese Style Food

Chris Gardner：Chris Gardner，how are you? Good morning. Chris Gardner, Chris Gardner.

Good see you again. Chris Gardner. Pleasure.

I've been sitting there for last half-hour trying to come up with a story that would explain my being here dressed like this.

And I wanted to come up with a story that would demonstrate qualities that I'm sure you all admire here, like earnestness or diligence. Team-playing, something.

And I couldn't think of anything. So the truth is...I was arrested for failure to pay parking tickets.

Jay Twistle：parking tickets？

Chris Gardner：And I ran all the way here from the Polk Station, the police station.

Mr. Frohm：What were you doing before you were arrested?

Chris Gardner：I was painting my apartment.

Mr. Frohm：Is it dry now?

Chris Gardner：I hope so.

Mr. Frohm：Jay says you're pretty determined.

Jay Twistle：He's been waiting outside the front of the building with some 40-pound gizmo for over a month.

Mr. Frohm：He said you're smart.

Mr. Frohm：Have you already started learning on your own?

Jay Twistle：I don't know. One too many, apparently.

Mr. Frohm：Was he ever dressed like this?

Jay Twistle：No. No. Jacket and tie.

Mr. Frohm：First. in your class in school? High school?

Chris Gardner：Yes, sir.

Mr. Frohm：How many in the class?

Chris Gardner：Twelve. It was a small town.

Mr. Frohm：I'll say.

Chris Gardner：But I was also first in my radar class in the Navy, and that was a class of 20.

Chris Gardner：Can I say something? ..I'm the type of person if you ask me a question, and I don't know the answer I'm gonna tell you that I don't know. But I bet you what. I know how to find the answer, and I will find the answer. Is that fair enough?

Mr. Frohm：Chris, What would you say if a guy...
