551
-No.
-I was not aware of that.

552
My circumstances
have changed some...

553
-...and I need to be certain that I'll be--
-All right. Okay.

554
Tonight.

555
I swear I will fill your spot. I promise.

556
If you back out, you know what
I'll look like to the partners?

557
Yes, an ass¹-- A-hole.

558
Yeah, an ass A-hole, all the way.

559
You are a piece of work.

560
Tonight.

561
There was no salary.

562
Not even a reasonable promise
of a job.

563
One intern² was hired at the end
of the program from a pool of 20.

564
And if you weren't that guy...

565
...you couldn't even apply
the six months' training...

566
... to another brokerage.

567
The only resource I would have
for six months...

568
... would be my six scanners,
which I could still try to sell.

569
If I sold them all,
maybe we might get by.

570
-I got him. I got him.
-He's asleep.

571
All right.

572
Okay, baby.

573
I got it.

574
I'm going to New York.

575
My sister's boyfriend...

576
...opened a restaurant,
and they may have a job for me there.

577
So I'm going to New York, Chris.

578
Christopher's staying with me.

579
I'm his mom, you know?

580
He should be with his mom.

581
I should have him, right?

582
You know
you can't take care of him.

583
What are you gonna do for money?

584
I had an interview
at Dean Witter for an internship³...

585
...and I got it.

586
So I'm gonna stand out
in my program.

587
Salesman to intern's backwards⁴.

588
No, it's not.

589
I gotta go.

590
Tell him I love him, okay?

591
And....

592
I know you'll take care of him, Chris.

593
I know that.

594
-Dean Witter.
-Yes, hi.

595
Yes, I'd like to leave a message
for Mr. Jay Twistle.

596
-Your name?
-Yeah, my name is Chris Gardner.

597
The message is:

598
Thank you very much
for inviting⁵ me into the program.

599
I really appreciate it and I'd be
very pleased to accept your invitation.

600
Is that all?
