The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)

James Karen: Martin Frohm

Quotes 

• 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.
