当幸福来敲门字幕.doc

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, excuse me...
...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 years old.
And I made up my mind as a young kid...
...that when I had children...
...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...
...this machine on my lap...
This guy, he has a time machine.
He travels in the past with this machine and...
- 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, maybe next... - 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 .
I know. I have got to go to Oakland.
So I gotta get Christopher home, feed him, bathe him...
...get him in bed, and be back here by ?
- 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 one more...
...to pay off all of those tickets under my windshield wiper.
The problem is...
...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.
That's... It's $. 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 asked for...
...a comprehensive audit, if you will, of our economic condition.
You won't like it. I didn't like it.
But we have to face the truth...
...and then go to work to turn things around.
And make no mistake about it, we can turn them around.
The federal budget is out of control.
And we face runaway deficits of almost $ billion...
...for this budget year that ends September th.
That deficit is larger than the entire federal budget in .
And so is the almost $ billion...
...we will pay in interest this year on the national debt.
Twenty years ago, in ...
...our federal government payroll was less than $ billion.
Today it is billion.
During these years, our population has only increased by . percent...
Man, I got two questions for you:
What do you do? And how do you do it?
- I'm a stockbroker. - Stockbroker. Oh, goodness.
Had to go to college to be a stockbroker, huh?
You don't have to. Have to be good with numbers and good with people.
- That's it. - Hey, you take care.
I'll let you hang on to my car for the weekend.
- But I need it back for Monday. - Feed the meter.
I still remember that moment.
They all looked so damn happy to me.
Why couldn't I look like that?
I'm gonna try to get home by .
I'm gonna stop by a brokerage firm after work.
- For what? - I wanna see about a job there.
Yeah? What job?
You know, when l...
When I was a kid, I could go through a math book in a week.
So I'm gonna go see about what job they got down there.
What job?
Stockbroker.
- Stockbroker? - Yeah.
Not an astronaut?
Don't talk to me like that, Linda.
I'm gonna go down and see about this, and I'm gonna do it during the day.
You should probably do your sales calls.
I don't need you to tell me about my sales calls, Linda.
I got three of them before the damn office is even open.
Do you remember that rent is due next week?
Probably not.
We're already two months behind.
Next week we'll owe three months.
I've been pulling double shifts for four months now, Chris.
Just sell what's in your contract. Get us out of that business.
Linda, that is what I am trying to do.
This is what I'm trying to do for my family...
...for you and for Christopher.
What's the matter with you?
Linda.
Linda.
This part of my life is called "Being Stupid."
Can I ask you a favor, miss?
Do you mind if I leave this here with you just for five minutes?
I have a meeting in there and I don't wanna carry that...
...Iooking smalltime.
Here is a dollar and I'll give you more money when I come back out.
Okay? It's not valuable. You can't sell it anywhere.
I can't even sell it, and it's my job. All right?
- Chris? Tim Brophy, Resources. - Yes. How are you?
- Come with me. - Yes, sir.
Let me see if I can find you an application for our internship.
I'm afraid that's all we can do for you. See, this is a satellite office.
Jay Twistle in the main office, he oversees Witter Resources.
I mean, I'm... You know, I'm just this office.
As you can see, we got a hell of lot of applications here, so...
Normally I have a resume sheet, but I can't seem to find it anywhere.
- We... - Thank you very much.
I need to go.
I'll bring this back.
- Thank you. - Okay.
Trusting a hippie girl with my scanner. Why did I do that?
Excuse me. Excuse me.
Like I said, this part of my life is called "Being Stupid."
Hey! Hey! Hey! Don't move! Don't move! Stay...!
Stop! Stop!
Don't move! Stop this...! Stop the train!
Stop! Stop!
The program took just people every six months.
One got the job.
There were three blank lines after "high school" to list more education.
I didn't need that many lines.
Try and sleep. It's late.
It' a puzzle measuring just inches by inches on each side...
...made up of multiple colors that you twist and turn...
...and try to get to a solid color on each side.
This little cube is the gift sensation of .
Don't expect to solve it easily.
Although we did encounter one math professor at USF...
...who took just minutes on his.
This is as far as I've gotten on mine.
As you can see, I still have a long way to go.
This is Jim Finnerty reporting for KJSF in Richmond.
Hey, wake up.
Eat.
- Bye, Mom. - Bye, baby.
- Come back without that, please. - Oh, yeah, I'm going to.
So go ahead, say goodbye to it, because I'm coming back without it.
Goodbye and good riddance.
You ain't had to add the "good riddance" part.
Bye, Mom.
Bye.
It's written as P-P-Y, but it's supposed to be an I in "happiness."
- Is it an adjective? - No, actually it's a noun.
But it's not spelled right.
- Is "fuck" spelled right? - Yeah, that's spelled right.
But that's not part of the motto, so you're not supposed to learn that.
That's an adult word to show anger and other things.
- But just don't use that one, okay? - Okay.
What's that say on the back of your bag?
My nickname.
We pick nicknames.
- Oh, yeah? What's it say? - "Hot Rod."
- Did you have a nickname? - Yep.
- What? - "Ten-Gallon Head."
- What's that? - I grew up in Louisiana, near Texas.
Everybody wears cowboy hats. And a ten-gallors a big hat.
I was smart back then, so they called me Ten-Gallon Head.
- Hoss wears that hat. - Hoss?
Hoss Can'twright on Bonanza.
- How do you know Bonanza? - We watch it at Mrs. Chu's.
- You watch Bonanza at daycare? - Yeah.
When? When do you watch it?
- After snack? After your nap? - After Love Boat.
I made my list for my birthday.
- Yeah, what'd you put on there? - A basketball or an ant farm.
- He says he's been watching TV. - Oh, little TV for history.
- Love Boat? - For history. Navy.
That's not the Navy.
I mean, he could watch television at home.
We're paying you $ a month. If he's gonna be sitting around...
...watching TV all day, we're taking him out of here.
Go pay more at other daycare if you don't like Navy TV.
You late pay anyway. You complain. I complain.
Can you at least put the dog upstairs in your room or something?
Bye.
I was waiting for Witter Resource head Jay Twistle...
...whose name sounded so delightful, like he'd give me a job and a hug.
I just had to show him I was good with numbers and good with people.
- Morning, Mr. Twistle. - Good morning.
- Mr. Twistle, Chris Gardner. - Hi.
I wanted to drop this off personally and make your acquaintance.
I thought I'd catch you on the way in. I'd love the opportunity to discuss...
...what may seem like weaknesses on my application.
We'll start with this, and we'll call you if we wanna sit down.
- Yes, sir. You have a great day. - You too.
Hey, yeah, how you doing?
This is Chris Gardner calling for Dr. Delsey.
Yeah, I'm running a little late for a sales call.
I was wondering if... Yeah, Osteo National.
Right. We can still...? Half an hour?
Yes. Beautiful. Beautiful. Thank you, thank you.
Hey! Hey!
Hey!
This part of my life...
- Wait! ...this part here...
...it' called "Running."
Hey! Hey!
Wait!
Hey! Wait!
That was my stolen machine.
Unless she was with a guy who sold them too.
Which was unlikely...
...because I was the only one selling them in the Bay Area.
I spent our entire life savings on these things.
It was such a revolutionary machine.
- Can you feel it, baby? - Oh, yeah.
You got me doing all the work.
What I didn't know is that doctors and hospitals...
...would consider them unnecessary luxuries.
I even asked the landlord to take a picture.
So if I lost one, it was like losing a month' groceries.
Hey, hey! Wait! Wait!
Hey, get back here!
Hey, man, l...
- Who's he? - He's that guy...
- Did you forget? - Forget what?
You're not supposed to have any of those.
- Yeah, I know. - You have two now.
Hey.
Hey, Mom.
One, two, three!
- That's a basketball! - Hey, hey. What do you mean?
You don't know that that's a basketball.
This could be an ant farm. This could be a microscope or anything.
- No, it's not. - There, there.
All right, come on. Open him up. Open him up.
- That paper's a little heavy, huh? - Yeah, but I got it.
You should've seen me out there today.
Somebody stole a scanner. I had to run the old girl down...
Whatever.
- What? - Whatever, Chris.
What the hell you got attitude about?
- "Whatever" what? - Every day's got some damn story.
Hey, Roy. Roy!
Can you beat your little rug when nobody's out here?
There's dust and shit all over.
- I'm trying to keep a clean house. - Hey, wait a second.
Look, Linda, relax.
We're gonna come out of this. Everything is gonna be fine, all right?
You said that before, when I got pregnant. "lt'll be fine."
- So you don't trust me now? - Whatever. I don't care.
- Taxi! - Mr. Twistle.
- Yeah, hi. - Hi. Chris Gardner.
Yeah, hi. Listen. What can I do for you?
I submitted an application for the intern program about a month ago...
...and I would just love to sit with you briefly...
Listen, I'm going to Noe Valley, Chris.
- Take care of yourself. - Mr. Twistle.
Actually, I'm on my way to Noe Valley also.
How about we share a ride?
- All right, get in. - All right.
So when I was in the Navy, I worked for a doctor...
...who loved to play golf, hours every day...
...and I would actually perform medical procedures...
...when he'd leave me in the office.
So I'm used to being in a position where I have to make decisions and...
Mr. Twistle, listen. This is a very important...
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This thing's impossible.
- I can do it. - No, you can't. No one can.
- That's bullshit. - No, I'm pretty sure I can do it.
- No, you can't. - Let me see it.
Give it here.
Oh, yeah. Oh, wow, you really messed it up.
Sorry.
It looks like it works around a swivel, so the center pieces never move.
So if it's yellow in the center, that's the yellow side.
If it's red in the center, that's the red side.
- Okay. - So... You can slow down.
Listen, we can drive around all day. I don't believe you can do this.
- Yeah, I can. - No, you can't.
- Yes, I can. - No, you can't.
I'm telling you, no one can.
See? That's all I ever do.
You almost have this side.
Holy cow.
- You almost had that one. - I'm gonna get it.
Look at that.
You're almost there.
- .. - This is me.
Good job.
- Goodbye. - Yeah. I'll see you soon.
Where are you going, sir?
Excuse me, sir. Where are you going, please?
Two... A couple of blocks.
- Just flip around. - Okay.
Hey! Stop it! Hey!
- Where are you going? Come here! - No!
- No, no, no! - You asshole, give me my money!
- Give me my money. - Please stop.
- Please, please, please! - Son of a bitch.
Please! He should've paid you!
- Come here! - I'm sorry.
- I'm so sorry. - I'll kick your ass!
- I'm sorry! - Idiot.
I'll get you!
I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!
Hey!
Stop it, you son of a bitch!
Stop him!
Stop him!
The doors are closing.
Please stand clear of the doors.
No! No! No!
No!
- Hello? - Hey, yeah.
Sorry I couldn't make it home on time.
- Chris, I missed my shift. - Yeah, I know. I'm sorry about that.
Look, I'm on my way right now. Are you all right with Christopher?
I'm leaving. Chris, I'm leaving.
- What? - Did you hear what I said?
I have my things together, and I'm taking our son...
...and we're gonna leave now.
I'm gonna put the phone down.
- Linda, wait a minute. Hold it, hold... - I'm going to leave. We are leaving.
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
