A Movie Scene Listening, The Pursuit of Happyness B1 to C2

SCRIPT:

Chris: "Chris Gardner. How are you? Good morning. Chris Gardner. Chris Gardner, good to see you again. Chris Gardner, pleasure."  

Chris: "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... like earnestness or diligence, and team-playing... something. And I couldn't think of anything. So the truth is... I was arrested for failure to pay parking tickets."  

Interviewer 1: "Parking tickets?" Chris: "And I ran all the way here from the... Polk Station. The police station."  

Interviewer 2 (Mr. Frohm): "What were you doing before you were arrested?" Chris: "I was, uh... painting my apartment." Interviewer 2: "Is it dry now?" Chris: "Uh... I hope so."

Interviewer 2: "Jay says you're pretty determined." Jay: "Oh, he's been waiting outside the front of the building with some 40-pound gizmo for over a month."  

Interviewer 2: "He said you're smart." Chris: "Well, I like to think so." Interviewer 2: "And you want to learn this business?" Chris: "Yes, sir. I wanna learn this business." Interviewer 2: "Have you already started learning on your own?" Chris: "Absolutely."  

Interviewer 2: "Jay? How many times have you seen Chris?" Jay: "Yeah, I don't know. One too many, apparently." Interviewer 2: "Was he ever dressed like this?" Jay: "No. No, jacket and tie."

Interviewer 2: "First in your class in school? High school?" Chris: "Yes, sir." Interviewer 2: "How many in the class?" Chris: "Uh, 12. It was a small town." Interviewer 2: "I'll say." Chris: "But I was also first in my radar class in... in the Navy, and that was a class of 20."

Chris: "Can I say something? Uh... Um... 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 2: "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." (Laughter from all interviewers)  

Jay: "Chris... I don't know how you did it dressed as a garbage man, but you really pulled it off in there." Chris: "Thank you very much, Mr. Twistle." Jay: "Hey, now you can call me Jay. We'll talk to you soon." Chris: "All right, so I'll let you know, Jay." Jay: "You'll... '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 about? You hounded me for this!" 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..." Jay: "Yeah, an asshole, all the way! You are a piece of work. Tonight!"
