Anchorman : It's a puzzle
measuring just 3 inches by 3 inches on each side made up of multiple colors that
you twist and turn and try to get to a solid
color on each side.
This little cube is the gift
sensation of 1981.
Don't expect to solve it easily. Although we did encounter one math professor at USF who took just 30 minutes on his. This is as far as I've gotten on mine. As
you can see, I still have a long way to go. This is Jim Finnerty reporting for
KJSF in Richmond.
Chris : Hey, wake up. Eat.
Christopher : Bye, Mom.
Linda : Bye, baby. Come back without that, please.
Chris : Oh, yeah, I'm going
to. So please say goodbye to it, because I'm coming back without it.
Linda : Goodbye and good riddance.
Chris : You ain't had to add the "good riddance" part.
Christopher : Bye, Mom.
Linda : Bye.
Chris : It's written as P-P-Y, but it's supposed to be an I in "happiness."
Christopher : Is it an adjective?
Chris : No, actually it's a noun. But it's not spelled right.
Christopher : Is "fuck" spelled right?
Chris : Yeah, that's spelled
right. But that's not part of the motto, so you're not supposed to learn that.
That's an adult word to show anger and other things. But just don't, don’t use
that one, okay?
Christopher : Okay.
Chris : What's that say on the back of your bag?
Christopher : My nickname. We pick nicknames.
Chris : Oh, yeah? What's it say?
Christopher : "Hot Rod." Did you have a nickname?
Chris : Yep.
Christopher : What?
Chris : "Ten-Gallon Head."
Christopher : What's that?
Chris : I grew up in
Louisiana, near Texas. Everybody wears cowboy hats. And a
ten-gallon’s a big hat. I
was smart back then, so they called me Ten-Gallon Head.
Chris : I was waiting for
Witter Resource head Jay Twistle whose name sounded so delightful, like he'd
give me a job and a hug. I just had to show him I was good with numbers and good
with people.
Jane : Good morning, Mr. Twistle.
Jay Twistle : Good morning, Jane.
Chris : Mr. Twistle, Chris Gardner.
Jay Twistle : Hi.
Chris : I wanted to drop
this off personally and make
your acquaintance. I thought I'd catch you on the way in.
Jay Twistle : OK.
Chris : I'd really love the
opportunity to discuss what may seem like weaknesses on my application.
Jay Twistle : OK, look,
we'll start with this, and Chris, we'll call you if we wanna sit down.
Chris : Yes, sir. You have a great day.
Jay Twistle : You too. |
