Starz on the Set: The Pursuit of Happyness Page #3

---

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-gallon's a big hat.

I was smart back then,

so they called me Ten-Gallon Head.

-Hoss wears that hat.

-Hoss?

Hoss Cartwright 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 $1 50 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's 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
