[Escalante is eating in the Delgado family's restaurant, speaking with them about Ana's decision to drop out of Garfield High] Jaime Escalante:
She'll just get fat, waste her life away in your restaurant. You have to understand - she's a top student. Mr. Delgado:
I started washing dishes for a nickel an hour. Now I own this place. Did *I* waste *my* life? Jaime Escalante:
I washed dishes, too, when I first came to this country. Mr. Delgado:
Good! Why don't you put on an apron and give us a hand? Jaime Escalante:
...Ana could go to college, come back, and teach you how to run this place. Mr. Delgado:
[He tears up the tab for Jaime's dinner]
Professor Escalante, I don't want your money. And I don't need your business. Jaime Escalante:
[He reaches into his wallet, dropping the money on the table anyway]
