501
...that would explain my being here
dressed like this.

502
And I wanted to come up with a story
that would demonstrate qualities...

503
...that I'm sure you all admire here,
like earnestness or diligence.

504
Team-playing, something.
And I couldn't think of anything.

505
So the truth is...

506
...I was arrested
for failure to pay parking tickets.

507
Parking tickets?

508
And I ran all the way here from
the Polk Station, the police station.

509
What were you doing
before you were arrested?

510
I was painting my apartment.

511
Is it dry now?

512
I hope so.

513
Jay says you're pretty determined.

514
He's been waiting outside
the front of the building...

515
...with some 40-pound gizmo
for over a month.

516
-He said you're smart.
-Well, I like to think so.

517
-And you want to learn this business?
-Yes, sir, I wanna learn.

518
Have you already started learning
on your own?

519
Absolutely.

520
-Jay?
-Yes, sir.

521
How many times
have you seen Chris?

522
I don't know.
One too many, apparently.

523
-Was he ever dressed like this?
-No.

524
No. Jacket and tie.

525
First in your class in school?

526
-High school?
-Yes, sir.

527
-How many in the class?
-Twelve.

528
It was a small town.

529
-I'll say.
-But I was also first in my radar class...

530
...in the Navy,
and that was a class of 20.

531
Can I say something?

532
I'm the type of person...

533
...if you ask me a question,
and I don't know the answer...

534
...I'm gonna tell you
that I don't know.

535
But I bet you what.

536
I know how to find the answer,
and I will find the answer.

537
Is that fair enough?

538
Chris.

539
What would you say
if a guy walked in for an interview...

540
...without a shirt on...

541
...and I hired him?
What would you say?

542
He must've had on
some really nice pants.

543
Chris, I don't know how you did it
dressed as a garbage man...

544
-...but you pulled it off.
-Thank you, Mr. Twistle.

545
Hey, now you can call me Jay.
We'll talk to you soon.

546
All right, so I'll let you know, Jay.

547
"You'll let me know, Jay"?
What do you mean?

548
Yeah, I'll give you a call
tomorrow sometime--

549
What are you talking--?
You hounded me for this.

550
-You stood here--
-Listen, there's no salary.
