原音重现：

A: Good morning, Chris Gardner, good to see you again. (My)Pleasure. I’ve been sitting out there for the last half-hour trying to come up with a story that would explain my being here dressed like this. And I wanted to come 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.
早，我是Chris Gardner，很荣幸再见面。我在外面坐了半个多小时，一直想编出个理由，向你们解释我这身打扮出现的原因，同时表现出你们所欣赏的优点，比如诚实、勤奋、团队精神等等。结果我却什么都想不出来。事实是，因为我没能付清停车罚单，我被拘留了。
B: Parking tickets?
停车罚单？
A: And I ran all the way here from the Polk station, the police station.
我是从警差局，警察局一路跑来。
