[On his last day in the training program, Chris Gardner is summoned by the partners]

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?

Gardner

Yes, sir.

Frohm

Good. We couldn't be happier. So welcome. Was it as easy as it looked?

Gardner

No, sir. No, sir, it wasn't.

Frohm

Good luck, Chris.

Gardner

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.
