It's not "H-A-P-P-Y-N-E-S-S" Happiness is spelled with an "I" instead of a "Y"
Oh, okay. Is "****" spelled right?
Um, yes. "****" is spelled right but you shouldn't use that word.
Why? What's it mean?
It's, um, an adult word used to express anger and, uh, other things. But it's an adult word. It's spelled right, but don't use it.
Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you you can't do it. You want something, go get it. Period. All right?
All right.
Probably means there's a good chance. Possibly means we might or we might not.
Okay.
So, what does probably mean?
It means we have a good chance.
And what does possibly mean?
I know what it means! It means we're not going to the game.
What are you doing?
Just filling out a check, paying some bills and a parking ticket.
We don't have a car anymore.
Yeah, I know...
What are you doing?
Paying a parking ticket.
...But we don't have a car anymore.
Yeah, I know...
Martin Frohm What would you say if man walked in here with no shirt, and I hired him? What would you say?
He must have had on some really nice pants.
Um... seven?
Seven? Nine! OK, who's the king of the jungle?
The gorilla?
Gorilla? Nope. Lion.
Yeah, lion, lion. You wanna hear something funny?
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Shelby.
Shelby who?
Shelby comin' round the mountain when she comes, Shelby comin' round the mountain when she comes!
Hey, that's good.
Knock knock.
Who's there?
Nobody.
Nobody who?
(Christopher doesn't respond) Christopher Gardner: Nobody who?
I thought I'd wear a shirt today, um, you know, being the last day and all.
Martin Frohm Well, thank you. Thank you. We appreciate that. But... wear one tomorrow though, okay? Because tomorrow's going to be your first day... if you'd like to work here as a broker. Would you like that, Chris?
Yes, sir.
Good. We couldn't be happier. So welcome. Was it as easy as it looked?
No, sir. No, sir, it wasn't.
Good luck, Chris.
Thank you. Thank you. [shakes hands with Jay Twistle and the other partners, and prepares to leave]
Oh, Chris. I almost forgot. [gives him back five dollars for an earlier cab ride] Thank you.
It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking: How did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue. And maybe we can actually never have it, no matter what. How did he know that?
This part of my life... this part right here? This part is called "being stupid".
I just have two questions for you: What do you do, and how do you do it?
Can I say something? Um, I'm the type of person that if you ask me a question and I don't know the answer, I'm gonna tell you that I don't know. But I bet you what, I know how to find the answer and I will find the answer.
Hey dad, you wanna hear something funny? There was a man who was drowning, and a boat came, and the man on the boat said "Do you need help?" and the man said "God will save me". Then another boat came and he tried to help him, but he said "God will save me", then he drowned and went to Heaven. Then the man told God, "God, why didn't you save me?" and God said "I sent you two boats, you dummy!"
