That scene always makes me laugh. Finding out she quit the up and coming tech and computer business in 1984 California to go back to waitressing. She would have been a multi millionaire by the late 90s had she stayed.
shareAt the time, her decision would seem like a good one, with the whole Atari giant coming crashing down in the tech world. Atari may have been invested in videogames though they marketed their products as computers instead of toys, like the upcoming Nintendo would do to help build back up the industry.

In a nut shell the job fell through and she was offered the waitressing job with the promise to be put on management training courses
Also, why did she turn the engine off at Ali's house? She knows the engine won't start without push starting it.
