Martin Frohm Quotes in The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)

Martin Frohm: [during the interview room, with Twistle, Frakesh, and Frohm present] What would you say if man walked in here with no shirt, and I hired him? What would you say?

Christopher Gardner: He must have had on some really nice pants.

Christopher Gardner: [during the interview for the internship position] I've been sitting out here 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 earnestness, diligence, team-playing. And I couldn't think of anything. So the truth is, I was arrested for failure to pay parking tickets.

Jay Twistle: Parking tickets?

[employers laugh]

Christopher Gardner: I ran all the way here from the police station.

Martin Frohm: What were you doing before you were arrested?

Christopher Gardner: I was, uh, painting my apartment.
