The Pursuit of Happyness Page #6

and 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?

Linda. Linda.

Hello?

wanna come in and talk?

You're the one that dragged

us down. You hear me?

You are so weak...

No. I am not happy anymore.

I'm just not happy!

Then go get happy, Linda!

Just go get happy.

But Christopher's

living with me!

Stop!

Hey. Come... Come on.

Let's go.

How you doing, Mrs. Chu?

Hi.

Uh... Yeah, I know.

Um... I talked to

Mom earlier.

Everything is fine, okay?
