[Jaime is eating at the Delgado family's restaurant, speaking with them about Ana's decision to drop out of Garfield High]
Jaime Escalante: She'll just be a fat winch, waste her life away in your restaurant. You have to understand - she's 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] Tip, for Ana. By the way, I notice you put hot chillies in your dip to sell extra beer - don't you?
