1. Time to get up, man.Copy !req
2. - All right, Dad.
- Come on.Copy !req
3. Should be here soon.Copy !req
4. - I think I should make a list.
- What do you mean?Copy !req
5. - For your birthday gifts?
- Yeah.Copy !req
6. You know you're only getting
a couple of things, right?Copy !req
7. Yeah, I know. Just to look at
and study so I can choose better.Copy !req
8. Okay, well, that's smart.
Yeah, make a list.Copy !req
9. Can you spell everything
you're thinking of?Copy !req
10. - I think so.
- All right. That's good.Copy !req
11. - How you doing in here, man?
- Okay.Copy !req
12. Can we go to the park today, after?Copy !req
13. No, I gotta go to Oakland.
Well, maybe, we'll see.Copy !req
14. Give me a kiss.Copy !req
15. I'll talk to you later.Copy !req
16. Excuse me.Copy !req
17. Oh, excuse me...Copy !req
18. when is somebody
gonna clean this off?Copy !req
19. And the Y?
The Y. We talked about this.Copy !req
20. It's an I in "happiness."
There's no Y in "happiness." It's an I.Copy !req
21. I'm Chris Gardner.Copy !req
22. I met my father for the first time
when I was 28 years old.Copy !req
23. And I made up my mind
as a young kid...Copy !req
24. that when I had children...Copy !req
25. my children were gonna know
who their father was.Copy !req
26. This is part of my life story.Copy !req
27. This part is called "Riding the Bus."Copy !req
28. What's that?Copy !req
29. It's a time machine, isn't it?Copy !req
30. Seems like a time machine.Copy !req
31. That seems like a time machine.
It's a time machine. Take me with you.Copy !req
32. This machine...Copy !req
33. this machine on my lap...Copy !req
34. This guy, he has a time machine.Copy !req
35. He travels in the past
with this machine and...Copy !req
36. - it is not a time machine.Copy !req
37. It's a portable
bone-density scanner.Copy !req
38. A medical device I sell for a living.Copy !req
39. Thank you for the opportunity
to discuss it with you.Copy !req
40. - I appreciate it.
- We just don't need it, Chris.Copy !req
41. It's unnecessary and expensive.Copy !req
42. - Well, maybe next...
- Thank you.Copy !req
43. It gave a slightly denser picture
than an x-ray for twice the money.Copy !req
44. - Hey.
- Hey, baby.Copy !req
45. - What happened?
- No, nothing.Copy !req
46. Look, I can't get Christopher today.Copy !req
47. Oh, no, you don't, Chris.
I'm back on at 7.Copy !req
48. I know. I have got to go to Oakland.Copy !req
49. So I gotta get Christopher home,
feed him, bathe him...Copy !req
50. get him in bed,
and be back here by 7?Copy !req
51. - Yes.
- And we got the tax-bill notice today.Copy !req
52. - What are you gonna do about that?
- Look, this is what we gotta do.Copy !req
53. You see that car? The one
with the pretty yellow shoe on it?Copy !req
54. That's mine.Copy !req
55. There's no parking near hospitals.Copy !req
56. That's what happens
when you're always in a rush.Copy !req
57. Thanks anyway. Very much.Copy !req
58. - Maybe next quarter.
- It's possible.Copy !req
59. I needed to sell at least two scanners
a month for rent and daycare.Copy !req
60. I'd have to sell one more...Copy !req
61. to pay off all of those tickets
under my windshield wiper.Copy !req
62. The problem is...Copy !req
63. I haven't sold any for a while.Copy !req
64. Since when do you not like
macaroni and cheese?Copy !req
65. Since birth?Copy !req
66. - What's that?
- What?Copy !req
67. - What is this?
- It's a gift for Christopher.Copy !req
68. - From who?
- Cynthia from work.Copy !req
69. It's for adults. Chris can't use it.
She didn't know.Copy !req
70. What are you supposed
to do with it?Copy !req
71. Make every side the same colour.Copy !req
72. Did you pay the taxes?Copy !req
73. No, I'm gonna
have to file an extension.Copy !req
74. - You already filed an extension.
- Yeah, well, I gotta file another one.Copy !req
75. That's... It's $650.
I'll have it in the next month.Copy !req
76. That means interest, right?Copy !req
77. - And a penalty?
- Yeah, a little bit.Copy !req
78. Look, why don't you let me do this?
All right, just relax. Okay?Copy !req
79. - Come here. Calm down.
- I have to go back to work.Copy !req
80. Let's get ready for bed.
Hey, put your plate in the sink.Copy !req
81. A few days ago I was presented
with a report I'd asked for...Copy !req
82. a comprehensive audit, if you will,
of our economic condition.Copy !req
83. You won't like it. I didn't like it.Copy !req
84. But we have to face the truth...Copy !req
85. and then go to work
to turn things around.Copy !req
86. And make no mistake about it,
we can turn them around.Copy !req
87. The federal budget is out of control.Copy !req
88. And we face runaway deficits
of almost $80 billion...Copy !req
89. for this budget year
that ends September 30th.Copy !req
90. That deficit is larger than
the entire federal budget in 1957.Copy !req
91. And so is the almost $80 billion...Copy !req
92. we will pay in interest
this year on the national debt.Copy !req
93. Twenty years ago, in 1960...Copy !req
94. our federal government payroll
was less than $13 billion.Copy !req
95. Today it is 75 billion.Copy !req
96. During these 20 years, our population
has only increased by 23.3 percent...Copy !req
97. Man, I got two questions for you:Copy !req
98. What do you do?
And how do you do it?Copy !req
99. - I'm a stockbroker.
- Stockbroker. Oh, goodness.Copy !req
100. Had to go to college
to be a stockbroker, huh?Copy !req
101. You don't have to. Have to be good
with numbers and good with people.Copy !req
102. - That's it.
- Hey, you take care.Copy !req
103. I'll let you hang on to my car
for the weekend.Copy !req
104. - But I need it back for Monday.
- Feed the meter.Copy !req
105. I still remember that moment.Copy !req
106. They all looked
so damn happy to me.Copy !req
107. Why couldn't I look like that?Copy !req
108. I'm gonna try to get home by 6.Copy !req
109. I'm gonna stop by a brokerage firm
after work.Copy !req
110. - For what?
- I wanna see about a job there.Copy !req
111. Yeah? What job?Copy !req
112. You know, when l...Copy !req
113. When I was a kid, I could go through
a math book in a week.Copy !req
114. So I'm gonna go see about
what job they got down there.Copy !req
115. What job?Copy !req
116. Stockbroker.Copy !req
117. - Stockbroker?
- Yeah.Copy !req
118. Not an astronaut?Copy !req
119. Don't talk to me like that, Linda.Copy !req
120. I'm gonna go down and see about this,
and I'm gonna do it during the day.Copy !req
121. You should probably
do your sales calls.Copy !req
122. I don't need you to tell me
about my sales calls, Linda.Copy !req
123. I got three of them
before the damn office is even open.Copy !req
124. Do you remember
that rent is due next week?Copy !req
125. Probably not.Copy !req
126. We're already two months behind.Copy !req
127. Next week we'll owe three months.Copy !req
128. I've been pulling double shifts
for four months now, Chris.Copy !req
129. Just sell what's in your contract.
Get us out of that business.Copy !req
130. Linda, that is what I am trying to do.Copy !req
131. This is what I'm trying to do
for my family...Copy !req
132. for you and for Christopher.Copy !req
133. What's the matter with you?Copy !req
134. Linda.Copy !req
135. Linda.Copy !req
136. This part of my life
is called "Being Stupid."Copy !req
137. Can I ask you a favour, miss?Copy !req
138. Do you mind if I leave this here
with you just for five minutes?Copy !req
139. I have a meeting in there
and I don't wanna carry that...Copy !req
140. looking smalltime.Copy !req
141. Here is a dollar and I'll give you
more money when I come back out.Copy !req
142. Okay? It's not valuable.
You can't sell it anywhere.Copy !req
143. I can't even sell it, and it's my job.
All right? Be right back.Copy !req
144. - Chris? Tim Brophy, Resources.
- Yes. How are you?Copy !req
145. - Follow me.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
146. Let me see if I can find you
an application for our internship.Copy !req
147. I'm afraid that's all we can do for you.
See, this is a satellite office.Copy !req
148. Jay Twistle in the main office,
he oversees Witter Resources.Copy !req
149. I mean, I'm... You know,
I'm just this office.Copy !req
150. As you can see, we got a hell of lot
of applications here, so...Copy !req
151. Normally I have a résumé sheet,
but I can't seem to find it anywhere.Copy !req
152. - We...
- Thank you very much.Copy !req
153. I need to go.Copy !req
154. I'll bring this back.Copy !req
155. - Thank you.
- Okay.Copy !req
156. Trusting a hippie girl with my scanner.
Why did I do that?Copy !req
157. Excuse me. Excuse me.Copy !req
158. Like I said, this part of my life
is called "Being Stupid."Copy !req
159. Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't move!
Don't move! Stay...!Copy !req
160. Stop! Stop!Copy !req
161. Don't move!
Stop this...! Stop the train!Copy !req
162. Stop! Stop!Copy !req
163. The programme took just 20 people
every six months.Copy !req
164. One got the job.Copy !req
165. There were three blank lines after
"high school" to list more education.Copy !req
166. I didn't need that many lines.Copy !req
167. Try and sleep. It's late.Copy !req
168. It's a puzzle measuring just 3 inches
by 3 inches on each side...Copy !req
169. made up of multiple colours
that you twist and turn...Copy !req
170. and try to get
to a solid colour on each side.Copy !req
171. This little cube
is the gift sensation of 1981.Copy !req
172. Don't expect to solve it easily.Copy !req
173. Although we did encounter
one math professor at USF...Copy !req
174. who took just 30 minutes on his.Copy !req
175. This is as far as I've gotten
on mine.Copy !req
176. As you can see,
I still have a long way to go.Copy !req
177. This is Jim Finnerty reporting
for KJSF in Richmond.Copy !req
178. Hey, wake up.Copy !req
179. Eat.Copy !req
180. - Bye, Mom.
- Bye, baby.Copy !req
181. - Come back without that, please.
- Oh, yeah, I'm going to.Copy !req
182. So go ahead, say goodbye to it,
because I'm coming back without it.Copy !req
183. Goodbye and good riddance.Copy !req
184. You ain't had to add
the "good riddance" part.Copy !req
185. Bye, Mom.Copy !req
186. Bye.Copy !req
187. It's written as P-P-Y, but it's
supposed to be an I in "happiness."Copy !req
188. - Is it an adjective?
- No, actually it's a noun.Copy !req
189. But it's not spelled right.Copy !req
190. - Is "fuck" spelled right?
- Yeah, that's spelled right.Copy !req
191. But that's not part of the motto,
so you're not supposed to learn that.Copy !req
192. That's an adult word to show anger
and other things.Copy !req
193. - But just don't use that one, okay?
- Okay.Copy !req
194. What's that say
on the back of your bag?Copy !req
195. My nickname.Copy !req
196. We pick nicknames.Copy !req
197. - Oh, yeah? What's it say?
- "Hot Rod."Copy !req
198. - Did you have a nickname?
- Yep.Copy !req
199. - What?
- "Ten-Gallon Head."Copy !req
200. - What's that?
- I grew up in Louisiana, near Texas.Copy !req
201. Everybody wears cowboy hats.
And a ten-gallon's a big hat.Copy !req
202. I was smart back then,
so they called me Ten-Gallon Head.Copy !req
203. - Hoss wears that hat.
- Hoss?Copy !req
204. Hoss Cartwright on Bonanza.Copy !req
205. - How do you know Bonanza?
- We watch it at Mrs. Chu's.Copy !req
206. - You watch Bonanza at daycare?
- Yeah.Copy !req
207. When? When do you watch it?Copy !req
208. - After snack? After your nap?
- After Love Boat.Copy !req
209. I made my list for my birthday.Copy !req
210. - Yeah, what'd you put on there?
- A basketball or an ant farm.Copy !req
211. - He says he's been watching TV.
- Oh, little TV for history.Copy !req
212. - Love Boat?
- For history. Navy.Copy !req
213. That's not the Navy.Copy !req
214. I mean, he could
watch television at home.Copy !req
215. We're paying you $150 a month.
If he's gonna be sitting around...Copy !req
216. watching TV all day,
we're taking him out of here.Copy !req
217. Go pay more at other daycare
if you don't like Navy TV.Copy !req
218. You late pay anyway.
You complain. I complain.Copy !req
219. Can you at least put the dog upstairs
in your room or something?Copy !req
220. Bye.Copy !req
221. I was waiting for
Witter Resource head Jay Twistle...Copy !req
222. whose name sounded so delightful,
like he'd give me a job and a hug.Copy !req
223. I just had to show him I was good
with numbers and good with people.Copy !req
224. - Morning, Mr. Twistle.
- Good morning.Copy !req
225. - Mr. Twistle, Chris Gardner.
- Hi.Copy !req
226. I wanted to drop this off personally
and make your acquaintance.Copy !req
227. I thought I'd catch you on the way in.
I'd love the opportunity to discuss...Copy !req
228. what may seem like weaknesses
on my application.Copy !req
229. We'll start with this, and we'll call you
if we wanna sit down.Copy !req
230. - Yes, sir. You have a great day.
- You too.Copy !req
231. Hey, yeah, how you doing?Copy !req
232. This is Chris Gardner calling
for Dr. Delsey.Copy !req
233. Yeah, I'm running a little late
for a sales call.Copy !req
234. I was wondering if...
Yeah, Osteo National.Copy !req
235. Right. We can still...? Half an hour?Copy !req
236. Yes. Beautiful. Beautiful.
Thank you, thank you.Copy !req
237. Hey! Hey!Copy !req
238. Hey!Copy !req
239. This part of my life...Copy !req
240. - Wait!
this part here...Copy !req
241. it's called "Running."Copy !req
242. Hey! Hey!Copy !req
243. Wait!Copy !req
244. Hey! Wait!Copy !req
245. That was my stolen machine.Copy !req
246. Unless she was with
a guy who sold them too.Copy !req
247. Which was unlikely...Copy !req
248. because I was the only one
selling them in the Bay Area.Copy !req
249. I spent our entire life savings
on these things.Copy !req
250. It was such
a revolutionary machine.Copy !req
251. - Can you feel it, baby?
- Oh, yeah.Copy !req
252. You got me doing all the work.Copy !req
253. What I didn't know
is that doctors and hospitals...Copy !req
254. would consider them
unnecessary luxuries.Copy !req
255. I even asked the landlord
to take a picture.Copy !req
256. So if I lost one, it was like losing
a month's groceries.Copy !req
257. Hey, hey! Wait! Wait!Copy !req
258. Hey, get back here!Copy !req
259. Hey, man, l...Copy !req
260. - Who's he?
- He's that guy...Copy !req
261. - Did you forget?
- Forget what?Copy !req
262. You're not supposed
to have any of those.Copy !req
263. - Yeah, I know.
- You have two now.Copy !req
264. Hey.Copy !req
265. Hey, Mom.Copy !req
266. One, two, three!Copy !req
267. - That's a basketball!
- Hey, hey. What do you mean?Copy !req
268. You don't know that
that's a basketball.Copy !req
269. This could be an ant farm. This could
be a microscope or anything.Copy !req
270. - No, it's not.
- There, there.Copy !req
271. All right, come on.
Open him up. Open him up.Copy !req
272. - That paper's a little heavy, huh?
- Yeah, but I got it.Copy !req
273. You should've seen me
out there today.Copy !req
274. Somebody stole a scanner.
I had to run the old girl down...Copy !req
275. Whatever.Copy !req
276. - What?
- Whatever, Chris.Copy !req
277. What the hell
you got attitude about?Copy !req
278. - "Whatever" what?
- Every day's got some damn story.Copy !req
279. Hey, Roy. Roy!Copy !req
280. Can you beat your little rug
when nobody's out here?Copy !req
281. There's dust and shit all over.Copy !req
282. - I'm trying to keep a clean house.
- Hey, wait a second.Copy !req
283. Look, Linda, relax.Copy !req
284. We're gonna come out of this.
Everything is gonna be fine, all right?Copy !req
285. You said that before,
when I got pregnant. "It'll be fine."Copy !req
286. - So you don't trust me now?
- Whatever. I don't care.Copy !req
287. - Taxi!
- Mr. Twistle.Copy !req
288. - Yeah, hi.
- Hi. Chris Gardner.Copy !req
289. Yeah, hi. Listen.
What can I do for you?Copy !req
290. I submitted an application for the
intern programme about a month ago...Copy !req
291. and I would just love
to sit with you briefly...Copy !req
292. Listen, I'm going
to Noe Valley, Chris.Copy !req
293. - Take care of yourself.
- Mr. Twistle.Copy !req
294. Actually, I'm on my way
to Noe Valley also.Copy !req
295. How about we share a ride?Copy !req
296. - All right, get in.
- All right.Copy !req
297. So when I was in the Navy,
I worked for a doctor...Copy !req
298. who loved to play golf,
hours every day...Copy !req
299. and I would actually
perform medical procedures...Copy !req
300. when he'd leave me in the office.Copy !req
301. So I'm used to being in a position
where I have to make decisions and...Copy !req
302. Mr. Twistle, listen.
This is a very important...Copy !req
303. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
This thing's impossible.Copy !req
304. - I can do it.
- No, you can't. No one can.Copy !req
305. - That's bullshit.
- No, I'm pretty sure I can do it.Copy !req
306. - No, you can't.
- Let me see it.Copy !req
307. Give it here.Copy !req
308. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow,
you really messed it up.Copy !req
309. Sorry.Copy !req
310. It looks like it works around a swivel,
so the centre pieces never move.Copy !req
311. So if it's yellow in the centre,
that's the yellow side.Copy !req
312. If it's red in the centre,
that's the red side.Copy !req
313. - Okay.
- So... You can slow down.Copy !req
314. Listen, we can drive around all day.
I don't believe you can do this.Copy !req
315. - Yeah, I can.
- No, you can't.Copy !req
316. - Yes, I can.
- No, you can't.Copy !req
317. I'm telling you, no one can.Copy !req
318. See? That's all I ever do.Copy !req
319. You almost have this side.Copy !req
320. Holy cow.Copy !req
321. - You almost had that one.
- I'm gonna get it.Copy !req
322. Look at that.Copy !req
323. You're almost there.Copy !req
324. - 1710.
- This is me.Copy !req
325. Good job.Copy !req
326. - Goodbye.
- Yeah. I'll see you soon.Copy !req
327. Where are you going, sir?Copy !req
328. Excuse me, sir.
Where are you going, please?Copy !req
329. Two... A couple of blocks.Copy !req
330. - Just flip around.
- Okay.Copy !req
331. Hey! Stop it! Hey!Copy !req
332. - Where are you going? Come here!
- No!Copy !req
333. - No, no, no!
- You asshole, give me my money!Copy !req
334. - Give me my money.
- Please stop.Copy !req
335. - Please, please, please!
- Son of a bitch.Copy !req
336. Please! He should've paid you!Copy !req
337. - Come here!
- I'm sorry.Copy !req
338. - I'm so sorry.
- I'll kick your ass!Copy !req
339. - I'm sorry!
- Idiot.Copy !req
340. I'll get you!Copy !req
341. I'm going to kill you!
I'm going to kill you!Copy !req
342. Hey!Copy !req
343. Stop it, you son of a bitch!Copy !req
344. Stop him!Copy !req
345. Stop him!Copy !req
346. The doors are closing.Copy !req
347. Please stand clear of the doors.Copy !req
348. No! No! No!Copy !req
349. No!Copy !req
350. - Hello?
- Hey, yeah.Copy !req
351. Sorry I couldn't
make it home on time.Copy !req
352. - Chris, I missed my shift.
- Yeah, I know. I'm sorry about that.Copy !req
353. Look, I'm on my way right now.
Are you all right with Christopher?Copy !req
354. I'm leaving. Chris, I'm leaving.Copy !req
355. - What?
- Did you hear what I said?Copy !req
356. I have my things together,
and I'm taking our son...Copy !req
357. and we're gonna leave now.Copy !req
358. I'm gonna put the phone down.Copy !req
359. - Linda, wait a minute. Hold it, hold...
- I'm going to leave. We are leaving.Copy !req
360. It was right then that I started
thinking about Thomas Jefferson...Copy !req
361. the Declaration of Independence...Copy !req
362. and the part about our right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.Copy !req
363. And I remember thinking:Copy !req
364. How did he know
to put the "pursuit" part in there?Copy !req
365. That maybe happiness is something
that we can only pursue.Copy !req
366. And maybe we can actually
never have it...Copy !req
367. no matter what.Copy !req
368. How did he know that?Copy !req
369. Linda. Linda.Copy !req
370. - Hello?
- Chris.Copy !req
371. - Who is this?
- Jay Twistle.Copy !req

418. - You are so weak.
- No. I am not happy anymore.Copy !req
419. - I'm just not happy!
- Then go get happy, Linda!Copy !req
420. Just go get happy.Copy !req
421. But Christopher's living with me.Copy !req
422. - Stop!
- Did you hear what I said?Copy !req
423. Christopher's living with me!Copy !req
424. Hey. Come on, let's go.Copy !req
425. - How you doing, Mrs. Chu?
- Hi.Copy !req

444. The hell am I supposed

445. I got painters coming in.Copy !req
446. - All right, look. I need more time.

447. All right, I'll paint it myself.Copy !req

465. All right.
Can I have my phone call, please?Copy !req
466. - Hello.
- Hey.Copy !req
467. What do you want?Copy !req
468. You gotta get Christopher

469. Just keep him for the night and I'm...
And... Just one night.Copy !req
470. What happened?Copy !req
471. I'll pick him up
from daycare tomorrow.Copy !req
472. I'm gonna go right...
You can just...Copy !req
473. You can drop him off
and I'll pick him up.Copy !req
474. - No.
- Come on, Linda.Copy !req
475. - Why you doing that?
- No, I wanna take him to the park.Copy !req
476. To Golden Gate

477. - How is he?
- He's fine.Copy !req
478. All right, just... All right,
take him to the park...Copy !req
479. and bring him back, all right?Copy !req
480. All right, just bring me my son back.Copy !req
481. Okay?Copy !req
482. Linda?Copy !req
483. I'll bring him back around 6.Copy !req
484. All right, all right.Copy !req
485. Thank you.Copy !req
486. Bye.Copy !req
487. I'm okay?Copy !req
488. Excuse me. Excuse me.Copy !req
489. Yes, I did.Copy !req
490. Mr. Gardner.Copy !req
491. This way.Copy !req
492. It'll be right over there.Copy !req
493. What is the one like that one?Copy !req
494. Chris Gardner.Copy !req
495. Chris Gardner.Copy !req
496. How are you? Good morning.Copy !req
497. Chris Gardner. Chris Gardner.
Good to see you again.Copy !req
498. Chris Gardner. Pleasure.Copy !req
499. I've been sitting there
for the last half-hour...Copy !req
500. trying to come up with a story...Copy !req
501. that would explain my being here
dressed like this.Copy !req
502. And I wanted to come up with a story
that would demonstrate qualities...Copy !req
503. that I'm sure you all admire here,
like earnestness or diligence.Copy !req
504. Team-playing, something.
And I couldn't think of anything.Copy !req
505. So the truth is...Copy !req
506. I was arrested
for failure to pay parking tickets.Copy !req
507. Parking tickets?Copy !req
508. And I ran all the way here from
the Polk Station, the police station.Copy !req
509. What were you doing
before you were arrested?Copy !req
510. I was painting my apartment.Copy !req
511. Is it dry now?Copy !req
512. I hope so.Copy !req
513. Jay says you're pretty determined.Copy !req
514. He's been waiting outside
the front of the building...Copy !req
515. with some 40-pound gizmo
for over a month.Copy !req
516. - He said you're smart.
- Well, I like to think so.Copy !req
517. - And you want to learn this business?
- Yes, sir, I wanna learn.Copy !req
518. Have you already started learning
on your own?Copy !req
519. Absolutely.Copy !req
520. - Jay?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
521. How many times
have you seen Chris?Copy !req
522. I don't know.
One too many, apparently.Copy !req
523. - Was he ever dressed like this?
- No.Copy !req
524. No. Jacket and tie.Copy !req
525. First in your class in school?Copy !req
526. - High school?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
527. - How many in the class?
- Twelve.Copy !req
528. It was a small town.Copy !req
529. - I'll say.
- But I was also first in my radar class...Copy !req
530. in the Navy,
and that was a class of 20.Copy !req
531. Can I say something?Copy !req
532. I'm the type of person...Copy !req
533. if you ask me a question,
and I don't know the answer...Copy !req
534. I'm gonna tell you
that I don't know.Copy !req
535. But I bet you what.Copy !req
536. I know how to find the answer,
and I will find the answer.Copy !req
537. Is that fair enough?Copy !req
538. Chris.Copy !req
539. What would you say
if a guy walked in for an interview...Copy !req
540. without a shirt on...Copy !req
541. and I hired him?
What would you say?Copy !req
542. He must've had on
some really nice pants.Copy !req
543. Chris, I don't know how you did it
dressed as a garbage man...Copy !req
544. but you pulled it off.
- Thank you, Mr. Twistle.Copy !req
545. Hey, now you can call me Jay.
We'll talk to you soon.Copy !req
546. All right, so I'll let you know, Jay.Copy !req
547. "You'll let me know, Jay"?
What do you mean?Copy !req
548. Yeah, I'll give you a call
tomorrow sometime...Copy !req
549. What are you talking...?
You hounded me for this.Copy !req
550. - You stood here...
- Listen, there's no salary.Copy !req
551. - No.
- I was not aware of that.Copy !req
552. My circumstances
have changed some...Copy !req
553. and I need to be certain that I'll be...
- All right. Okay.Copy !req
554. Tonight.Copy !req
555. I swear I will fill your spot. I promise.Copy !req
556. If you back out, you know what
I'll look like to the partners?Copy !req
557. Yes, an ass... A-hole.Copy !req
558. Yeah, an ass A-hole, all the way.Copy !req
559. You are a piece of work.Copy !req
560. Tonight.Copy !req
561. There was no salary.Copy !req
562. Not even a reasonable promise
of a job.Copy !req
563. One intern was hired at the end
of the programme from a pool of 20.Copy !req
564. And if you weren't that guy...Copy !req
565. you couldn't even apply
the six months' training...Copy !req
566. to another brokerage.Copy !req
567. The only resource I would have
for six months...Copy !req
568. would be my six scanners,
which I could still try to sell.Copy !req
569. If I sold them all,
maybe we might get by.Copy !req
570. - I got him. I got him.
- He's asleep.Copy !req
571. All right.Copy !req
572. Okay, baby.Copy !req
573. I got it.Copy !req
574. I'm going to New York.Copy !req
575. My sister's boyfriend...Copy !req
576. opened a restaurant,
and they may have a job for me there.Copy !req
577. So I'm going to New York, Chris.Copy !req
578. Christopher's staying with me.Copy !req
579. I'm his mom, you know?Copy !req
580. He should be with his mom.Copy !req
581. I should have him, right?Copy !req
582. You know
you can't take care of him.Copy !req
583. What are you gonna do for money?Copy !req
584. I had an interview
at Dean Witter for an internship...Copy !req
585. and I got it.Copy !req
586. So I'm gonna stand out
in my programme.Copy !req
587. Salesman to intern's backwards.Copy !req
588. No, it's not.Copy !req
589. I gotta go.Copy !req
590. Tell him I love him, okay?Copy !req
591. And...Copy !req
592. I know you'll take care of him, Chris.Copy !req
593. I know that.Copy !req
594. - Dean Witter.
- Yes, hi.Copy !req
595. Yes, I'd like to leave a message
for Mr. Jay Twistle.Copy !req
596. - Your name?
- Yeah, my name is Chris Gardner.Copy !req
597. The message is:Copy !req
598. Thank you very much
for inviting me into the programme.Copy !req
599. I really appreciate it and I'd be
very pleased to accept your invitation.Copy !req
600. Is that all?Copy !req
601. Yes, that's it.Copy !req
602. - Okay.
- Thank you.Copy !req
603. Bye.Copy !req
604. - Be careful with that.
- What?Copy !req
605. Be care... Go ahead.Copy !req
606. - Are we there?
- Yep.Copy !req
607. - Hey, you know what today is?
- Yeah.Copy !req
608. - What?
- Saturday.Copy !req
609. - You know what Saturday is, right?
- Yeah.Copy !req
610. - What?
- Basketball.Copy !req
611. - You wanna go play some basketball?
- Okay.Copy !req
612. All right, then we're gonna go
sell a bone-density scanner.Copy !req
613. - How about that? Wanna do that?
- No.Copy !req
614. Hey, Dad. I'm going pro.Copy !req
615. I'm going pro.Copy !req
616. Okay.Copy !req
617. Yeah, I don't know, you know.Copy !req
618. You'll probably be about as good
as I was.Copy !req
619. That's kind of the way it works,
you know. I was below average.Copy !req
620. You know, so you'll probably
ultimately rank...Copy !req
621. somewhere around there,
you know, so...Copy !req
622. I really... You'll excel at
a lot of things, just not this.Copy !req
623. I don't want you shooting
this ball all day and night.Copy !req
624. - All right?
- All right.Copy !req
625. Okay.Copy !req
626. All right, go ahead.Copy !req
627. Hey.Copy !req
628. Don't ever let somebody tell you...Copy !req
629. you can't do something.Copy !req
630. Not even me.Copy !req
631. - All right?
- All right.Copy !req
632. You got a dream...Copy !req
633. you gotta protect it.Copy !req
634. People can't do something
themselves...Copy !req
635. they wanna tell you
you can't do it.Copy !req
636. If you want something,
go get it. Period.Copy !req
637. Let's go.Copy !req
638. Dad, why did we move to a motel?Copy !req
639. I told you. Because I'm getting
a better job.Copy !req
640. - You gotta trust me, all right?
- I trust you.Copy !req
641. All right, here.
Come on, come on. Keep up.Copy !req
642. Dad, when's Mom coming back?Copy !req
643. Dad, when's Mom coming back?Copy !req
644. I don't know, Christopher.Copy !req
645. Dad, listen to this.Copy !req
646. One day, a man was drowning
in the water.Copy !req
647. And a boat came by and said,
"Do you need any help?"Copy !req
648. He said, "No, thank you.
God will save me."Copy !req
649. Then another boat came by.
Said, "Do you need any help?"Copy !req
650. And he said, "No, thank you.
God will save me."Copy !req
651. Then he drowned,
and he went to heaven.Copy !req
652. And he said, "God,
why didn't you save me?"Copy !req
653. And God said, "I sent you
two big boats, you dummy."Copy !req
654. Do you like it?Copy !req
655. Yeah, that's very funny, man.
Give me your hand.Copy !req
656. - Thank you very much, sir.
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
657. - You got the bill of sale here.
- Yes.Copy !req
658. All the information you'll need.Copy !req
659. Thank you very much
for your business.Copy !req
660. Thank you.Copy !req
661. One hundred, 200,
20, 40, 45, 46...Copy !req
662. 7, 8, 9, 10.Copy !req
663. Thank you.Copy !req
664. - Hey, you want one of those?
- No, it's okay.Copy !req
665. Come on, you can have one.
Which one?Copy !req
666. - You like that one? How much?
- Twenty-five cents.Copy !req
667. This part of my life
is called "Internship."Copy !req
668. The 1200 building is
Medley Industrial and Sanko Oil.Copy !req
669. The building across the street
is Lee-Ray Shipping.Copy !req
670. In a couple weeks,
you'll get call sheets...Copy !req
671. with the phone numbers
of employees...Copy !req
672. from every Fortune 500 company
in the financial district.Copy !req
673. You will be pooling
from 60 Fortune companies.Copy !req
674. You will mainly be cold-calling
potential clients.Copy !req
675. But if you have to have lunch
with them, have breakfast with them...Copy !req
676. even baby-sit for them, do whatever
it takes to familiarize them...Copy !req
677. with our packages. We need you
to match their needs and goals...Copy !req
678. to one of our many financial plans.
In essence, you reel them in...Copy !req
679. we'll cook the fish.Copy !req
680. Some of you are here
because you know somebody.Copy !req
681. Some of you are here because
you think you're somebody.Copy !req
682. There's one guy in here
who's gonna be somebody.Copy !req
683. That person's gonna be the guy...Copy !req
684. who can turn this into this.Copy !req
685. Eight hundred thousand

686. You, you, help me hand these out.Copy !req
687. This is going to be your bible.Copy !req
688. You'll eat with it.Copy !req
689. - You'll drink with it.
- It was simple.Copy !req
690. X number of calls
equals X number of prospects.Copy !req
691. X number of prospects
equals X number of customers.Copy !req
692. X number of customers
equals X number of dollars...Copy !req
693. in the company's pocket.
- Your board exam.Copy !req
694. Last year, we had an intern score
a 96.4 percent on the written exam.Copy !req
695. He wasn't chosen.
It's not a simple pass/fail.Copy !req
696. It's an evaluation tool we use
to separate applicants.Copy !req
697. Be safe, score a hundred.Copy !req
698. Okay, let's take a break.
Be back in 10.Copy !req
699. - Hey, Mr. Frohm. Chris.

704. Pop out, get a quick bite and then
back in there for board prep.Copy !req
705. Oh, man, I remember mine.Copy !req
706. And ours were only an hour,
not three like yours.Copy !req
707. We didn't do world markets,
didn't bother with taxes...Copy !req
708. and it was still a pain in the ass.
Funny what you remember.Copy !req
709. There was a beautiful girl
in that class.Copy !req
710. I can't remember her name,
but her face was so...Copy !req
711. I've seen an old friend of mine.
Do you mind?Copy !req
712. - No, go ahead.
- Good talking to you, sir.Copy !req
713. Hey, asshole.
Are you all right, asshole?Copy !req
714. Are you okay?

735. - No, where in your body?
- Like, the back of my legs.Copy !req
736. - Hey, goodbye, Mrs. Chu.
- Goodbye.Copy !req
737. - Were you on the street?
- Yeah, I was running in the street.Copy !req
738. Don't do that. You can get hurt.Copy !req

investing and have money to invest.Copy !req

745. Would you get me
some coffee, please?Copy !req
746. Favours for Frakesh,
our office manager. All day.Copy !req
747. My name is Chris Gardner

883. It's more comfortable.
You wanna go?Copy !req
884. - Okay.
- Okay, kids in the back.Copy !req
885. Hey, why don't you just put that

895. Thomas Jefferson mentions
happiness a couple times...Copy !req
896. in the Declaration
of Independence.Copy !req
897. May seem like a strange word
to be in that document...Copy !req
898. but he was sort of...
He was an artist.Copy !req
899. He called the English
"the disturbers of our harmony."Copy !req
900. And I remember standing there
that day...Copy !req
901. thinking about
the disturbers of mine.Copy !req
902. Questions I had:
Whether all this was good.Copy !req
903. Whether I'd make it.Copy !req
904. And Walter Ribbon
and his Pacific Bell pension money...Copy !req
905. which was millions.Copy !req
906. Yeah!Copy !req
907. It was a way to another place.Copy !req
908. Wow, this is...Copy !req
909. This is the way
to watch a football game here.Copy !req
910. - Thank you very much for this, really.
- Hey, it's my pleasure, Chris.Copy !req
911. And, Mr. Ribbon, I also wanna thank
you for giving me the opportunity...Copy !req
912. to discuss the asset management
capabilities of Dean Witter...Copy !req
913. which we believe
to be far superior...Copy !req
914. to anything you got going
over at Morgan Stanley.Copy !req
915. Really, I think you're gonna
be blown away.Copy !req
916. Point blank, Dean Witter needs to be
managing your retirement portfolio.Copy !req
917. You know, I didn't have any notion
that you were new there.Copy !req
918. I like you, but there's not a chance
I'm gonna let you direct our fund.Copy !req
919. That's just not gonna happen
anytime soon, buddy.Copy !req
920. So, you know, come on, relax.
Enjoy the game. Go, go, go!Copy !req
921. Yes!Copy !req
922. Yes! Yeah!Copy !req
923. - Here you go.
- All right.Copy !req
924. I've had a few ideas
already, absolutely.Copy !req
925. - Chris, I'll talk to you later.

926. Nice to meet you, Chris.
Give me a call.Copy !req
927. Yes, absolutely. Thank you.Copy !req
928. - Bye.

934. Until one day...Copy !req
935. that day...Copy !req
936. that letter brought me
back to earth.Copy !req
937. This part of my life is called
"Paying Taxes."Copy !req
938. If you didn't pay them...Copy !req
939. the government could stick
their hands into your bank account...Copy !req
940. and take your money.Copy !req
941. Dad.Copy !req
942. No warning. Nothing.Copy !req
943. It can't be too late.
That's my money.Copy !req
944. How is somebody just gonna
just take my money?Copy !req
945. I was... I was...Copy !req
946. Listen, l...
That's all the money that I have.Copy !req
947. You cannot go into my bank acc...
No...Copy !req
948. It was the 25th of September.Copy !req
949. I remember that day.Copy !req
950. Because that's the day
that I found out...Copy !req
951. there was only 21 dollars
and 33 cents left in my bank account.Copy !req
952. I was broke.Copy !req
953. - Dressed yet?
- No.Copy !req
954. Chris! Chris!
Don't jerk me around, okay, Chris?Copy !req
955. I'm not jerking you around, Ralph,
all right? I'm gonna get it.Copy !req
956. - I need that money now, not later.

957. Now!Copy !req

959. Wayne, I need to get
that $14 from you.Copy !req
960. I thought I didn't owe you that now.Copy !req
961. - What? Why?

962. Why would you think
you don't owe me my money?Copy !req
963. I helped you move.Copy !req
964. You drove me two blocks, Wayne.Copy !req
965. That's 200 yards.Copy !req
966. It's been four months, Wayne.Copy !req
967. I need my money. I need my money.
I need my money right now.Copy !req
968. - I don't have it, man. I'm sorry.

979. Dad!Copy !req
980. Dad, wait! Dad!Copy !req
981. - Dad.
