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.

Christopher Gardner : [standing outside the interview room] There's no salary?
