Chris : Man, I got two
questions for you: What do you do? And how do you do it?
Man : I'm a stockbroker.
Chris : Stockbroker. Oh,
goodness. Had to go to college to be a stockbroker, huh?
Man : You don't have to.
Have to be
good with numbers and good with people. That's it.
Chris : Hey, you take care.
I'll let you hang
onto my car for the
weekend. But I need it back for Monday.
Man : Feed
the meter.
Chris : I still remember
that moment. They all looked so damn happy to me. Why couldn't I look like that?
Chris : I'm gonna try to get
home by 6. I'm gonna stop by a brokerage firm after work.
Linda : For what?
Chris : I wanna see about a
job there.
Linda : Yeah? What job?
Chris : You know, when I...
when I was a kid, I could go through a math book in a week. So I'm gonna go see
about what job they got down there.
Linda : What job?
Chris : Stockbroker.
Linda : Stockbroker?
Chris : Yeah.
Linda : Not an astronaut?
Chris : Don't talk to me
like that, Linda. I'm gonna go down and see about this, and I'm gonna do it
during the day.
Linda : You should probably
do your sales calls.
Chris : I don't need you to
tell me about my sales calls, Linda. I got three of them before the damn office
is even open.
Linda : Do you remember that rent
is due next week ? Probably not. We're
already two months behind. Next, next week we'll owe three months. I've
been pulling double shifts for four months now, Chris.
Just, just sell what's in your contract. Get us out of that business.
Chris : Linda, that is what
I am trying to do. This is what I'm trying to do for my family, for you and for
Christopher |
