Simon : It is a lovely park, isn't it?
Mr. Bigelow : So tell me, Simon, how did you wind up here - a restaurant anager in Boston?
Simon : Ah! Well, that's a bit of a puzzle to me, as well.

Simon : Oh yes, I passed all kinds of exams.
Mr. Bigelow : I was never any good at taking tests. I barely got through elementary school.
Mr. Bigelow : High school was worse. And it was years before I went to college. And I didn't do very well there either, I'm afraid.
Simon : Oh, I did well, but there was something missing.
Simon : At the end of the day, I wanted experience that was...
Mr. Bigelow : Hands-on.
Simon : Exactly.
Mr. Bigelow : Find out the way it works in the real world.
Simon : Yes.
Mr. Bigelow : So you got a job!
Simon : No. I went back to business school for management studies.
Mr. Bigelow : More tests!
