The Pursuit of Happyness script
Time to get up, man.
- All right, Dad. - Come on.
Should be here soon.
- I think I should make a list. - What do mean?
- For your birthday gifts? - Yeah.
You know you're only getting a couple of things, right?
Yeah, I know. Just to look at and study so I can choose better.
Okay, well, that's smart. Yeah, make a list.
Can you spell everything you're thinking of?
- I think so. - All right. That's good.
- How you doing in here, man? - Okay.
Can we go to the park today, after?
No, I gotta go to Oakland. Well, maybe, we'll see.
Give me a kiss.
I'll talk to you later.
Excuse me.
Oh,
...when is somebody gonna clean this off?
And the Y? The Y. We talked about this.
It's an I in "happiness." There's no Y in "happiness." It's an I.
I'm Chris Gardner.
I met my father for the first time when I was 28 years old.
And I made up my mind as a
...that when I
当幸福来敲门台词...my children were gonna know who their father was.
This is part of my life story.
This part is called "Riding the Bus."
What's that?
It's a time machine, isn't it?
Seems like a time machine.
That seems like a time machine. It's a time machine. Take me with you.
...this machine on
This guy, he has a time machine.
He travels in the past with this
- it is not a time machine.
It' a portable bone-density scanner.
A medical device I sell for a living.
Thank you for the opportunity to discuss it with you.
- I appreciate it. - We just don't need it, Chris.
It's unnecessary and expensive.
- Well, - Thank you.
It gave a slightly denser picture than an x-ray for twice the money.
- Hey. - Hey, baby.
- What happened? - No, nothing.
Look, I can't get Christopher today.
Oh, no, you don't, Chris. I'm back on at 7.
I know. I have got to go to Oakland.
So I gotta get Christopher home, feed him,
...get him in bed, and be back here by 7?
- Yes. - And we got the tax-bill notice today.
- What are you gonna do about that? - Look, this is what we gotta do.
You see that car? The one with the pretty yellow shoe on it?
That' mine.
There' no parking near hospitals.
That' what happens when you're always in a rush.
Thanks anyway. Very much.
- Maybe next quarter. - It's possible.
I needed to sell at least two scanners a month for rent and daycare.
I'd have to sell
...to pay off all of those tickets under my windshield wiper.
The
...I haven't sold any for a while.
Since when do you not like macaroni and cheese?
Since birth?
- What's that? - What?
- What is this? - It's a gift for Christopher.
- From who? - Cynthia from work.
It's for adults. Chris can't use it. She didn't know.
What are you supposed to do with it?
Make every side the same color.
Did you pay the taxes?
No, I'm gonna have to file an extension.
- You already filed an extension. - Yeah, well, I gotta file another one.
It's $650. I'll have it in the next month.
That means interest, right?
- And a penalty? - Yeah, a little bit.
Look, why don't you let me do this? All right, just relax. Okay?
- Come here. Calm down. - I have to go back to work.
Let's get ready for bed. Hey, put your plate in the sink.
A few days ago I was presented with a report I'd
...a comprehensive audit, if you will, of our economic condition.
You won't like it. I didn't like it.
