【選段臺(tái)詞】

Secretary:?Chris Gardner.

Chris: Chris Gardner. How are you? Good morning. Chris Gardner. Chris Gardner. Good to see you again. Chris Gardner. Pleasure. I've been sitting out there for the last half-hour trying to come up with a story that would explain my being here dressed like this. And I wanted to come up with a story that would demonstrate qualities that I'm sure you all admire here, like earnestness or diligence. Team-playing, something. And I couldn't think of anything. So the truth is...I was arrested for failure to pay parking tickets.

Jay: Parking tickets?

Chris: And I ran all the way here from the Polk Station, the police station.

Interviewer: What were you doing before you were arrested?

Chris: I was painting my apartment.

Interviewer: Is it dry now?

Chris: I hope so.

Interviewer: Jay says you're pretty determined.

Jay: He's been waiting outside the front of the building with some 40-pound gizmo for over a month.

Interviewer: He said you're smart.?

Chris: Well, I like to think so.

Interviewer: And you want to learn this business????

Chris: Yes, sir, I wanna learn.

Interviewer: Have you already started learning on your own?

Chris: Absolutely.

Interviewer: Jay????

Jay: Yes, sir.

Interviewer: How many times have you seen Chris?

Jay: I don't know. One too many, apparently.

Interviewer: Was he ever dressed like this????

Jay: No. No. Jacket and tie.

Interviewer: First in your class in school? High school????

Chris: Yes, sir.

Interviewer: How many in the class????

Chris: Twelve. It was a small town.

Interviewer: I'll say.???

Chris: But I was also first in my radar class in the Navy, and that was a class of 20. Can I say something? I'm the type of person,?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. Is that fair enough?

Interviewer: Chris. What would you say if a guy walked in for an interview without a shirt on and I hired him? What would you say?

Chris: He must've had on some really nice pants.

Jay: Chris, I don't know how you did it dressed as a garbage man but you pulled it off.???

Chris: Thank you, Mr. Twistle.

Jay: Hey, now you can call me Jay. We'll tale to you soon.

Chris: All right, so I'll let you know, Jay.

Jay: "You'll let me know, Jay"? What do you mean?

Chris: Yeah, I'll give you a call tomorrow sometime...

Jay: What are you talking...? You hounded me for this. You stood here...??

Chris: Listen, there's no salary.

Jay: No.???

Chris: I was not aware of that. My circumstances have changed some and I need to be certain that I'll be...????

Jay: All right. Okay. Tonight. I swear I will fill your spot. I promise. If you back out, you know what I'll look like to the partners?

Chris: Yes, an ass... A-hole.

Jay: Yeah, an ass A-hole, all the way. You are a piece of work. Tonight.
