PRESIDENT: Mr. Gardner, do you agree with Ben, or do you think that we can stimulate growth through temporary incentives? (Long pause)

CHAUNCEY GARDENER: As long as the roots are not severed, all is well. And all will be well in the garden.

PRESIDENT: In the garden?

CHAUNCEY: Yes. In the garden, growth has it seasons. First comes spring and summer, but then we have fall and winter. And then we get spring and summer again.

PRESIDENT: Spring and summer.

CHAUNCEY: Yes.

PRESIDENT: Then fall and winter.

CHAUNCEY: Yes.

BENJAMIN RAND: I think what our insightful young friend is saying is that we welcome the inevitable seasons of nature, but we're upset by the seasons of our economy.

CHAUNCEY: Yes! There will be growth in the spring!

RAND: Hmmmm.

CHAUNCEY: Hmmmm.

PRESIDENT: Well, Mr. Gardner, I must admit that is one of the most refreshing and optimistic statements I've heard in a very, very long time!
