Starz on the Set: The Pursuit of Happyness Page #7

---

I-- Sacramento.

Because I'm trying to move

a couple guys from--

They're at PacBell,

and I'm trying to bring them over--

Get them over to us.

So they got me

going out there golfing.

Awesome.

Hey, let them win a round.

Deborah, someone's asking for you.

-Where?

-He's outside. Please come with me.

Hi.

-Can I ask you a question?

-Sure.

We need a room.

Just until I can fix this and sell it.

-There's just some glass work.

-Let me stop you right there.

-I wish I could help you--

-This is my son, Christopher.

-He's 5 years old.

-Hi, baby.

-We need some place to stay.

-Okay, and I would love to help you...

...but we don't take men here.

It's only women and children.

He can stay here, but you have

to find someplace else to go.

We gotta stay together.

We got-- We're--

-Okay, listen.

-You gotta have some place--

Try Glide Memorial.

The building books up at 5.

So you hurry up. There's a line.

-And where is it? Come on.

-Ellis and Jones.

Hey, everybody. We have

four spots left, and that's all.

-Man.

-Hey, come on, man.

-Come on.

-Come on, what?

-Hey, that's my spot.

-Back off.

Come on, don't do this to me.

Don't--

Dad!

Stop it! Break it up!

Break it up!

Stop! Stop!

Get out of the line, both of you.

Both of you.

I was here first. They told me

that we had to be on time.

I got here on time. I was in line.

I came from work, I got my son.

I was here on time.

We were here on time!

He sliced in front of him in line.

-Who did?

-He did.

Come on, come on, Rodney.

Come on. Let's go. Get out of line.

That's it. No more.

-What's your favorite color?

-Green.

Green?

-What do you like that's green?

-Trees.

Trees. What else?

Holly.

-Holly. What's holly?

-The Christmas stuff.

Christmas stuff.

What's that?

I guess they want us to go to sleep.

Here you go. We gotta make sure

Captain America's warm in there.

Can you breathe?

-You're good?

-Yeah.

-I gotta go work on the scanner--

-Don't go.

No, no, no. I'm gonna be

right outside the door.

All right? I'm just gonna be right there.

I'll leave the door open a little bit.

And I'll be able to hear you

if you call me.

I wanna go home.

But that's why I gotta

work on the scanner.

All right?

I'm gonna go out there.

I'm gonna leave the door open.

I'll be right up the stairs.

I'll be able to hear you

if you call me.

-All right?

-All right.

You gotta trust me, okay?

You gotta trust me.

I trust you. I trust you.

I trust you.

-I can't hear you.

-I trust you. I trust you.

Give me a kiss.

-I'll just be a little while, okay?

-All right.

-I'll be right here.

-Okay.

-Can you still hear me?

-Yeah.

-Can you hear me?

-Yeah.

-Do you trust me?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Like that?

-Yeah, put that....

-Then you go like that.

-ls that okay?

-I don't know. What do you think?

Good.

Let's go. Get your stuff.

-Hey, why don't you leave it?

-We can't.

We're gonna have

a different room later.

Go.

Hey, Chris.

-Hey, good morning, Mr. Frakesh.

-What's up?

Work trip.

Your wife, Martha, works at

PacBell also, correct?

-Yes, she does.

-And you guys are both...

...Iooking to retire at the same time?

We'd like to retire

and maintain our lifestyle...

...without paying a lot of taxes.

So basically, you want nobody's hands

in your pockets but your own?

Are you familiar with

tax-free municipal...?

I learned to finish my work quickly.

I had to finish quickly.

To get in line at Glide by 5.

Come on.

Come on.

Hold that bus! Hold the bus!

My Captain America!

Dad! Dad! Dad!

Stop it! Shut up! Shut up!

-Why don't you let the lady in?

-Hey, back up.

-Hey, man, that's not cool.

-Back up! Back up!

Come on.

Dad, we need to get it!

The important thing about

that freedom train...

...is it's got to climb mountains.

We all have to deal with mountains.

You know, mountains

that go way up high.

And mountains that go

deep and low.

-Amen, preacher!

-Yes.

We know what those mountains are,

here at Glide.

We sing about them.

Lord, don't move that mountain

Give me strength to climb it

Please don't move

That stumbling block

But lead me, Lord, around it

My burdens, they get so heavy

Seems hard to bear

But I won't give up

No, no

Because you promised me

You'd meet me at the altar of prayer

-Lord don't move that mountain

-Please don't move that mountain

But give me strength to climb it

When's your test?

T omorrow.

Are you ready?

Of course.

Thank you, sir.

-Hey. How you doing?

-Hey.

So did you finish the whole thing,

or you have to go somewhere...?

I have to go somewhere.

-But I finished the whole thing too.

-Oh, good.

-You?

-Yeah.

-How'd you feel about the graphs?

-Easy.

I struggled with the essay question

on the back. What did you write?

-Essay question?

-Yeah, on the back.

Hey, Chris.

-Hey. Jeff, right? 49ers game.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, you were gonna give me a call?

-I never actually got your number.

Here's my number. Call me, okay?

Yes, sir. Absolutely.

Thank you very much.

Chris, you got five bucks?

I left my wallet upstairs.

Let me run up and grab that

for you, Mr. Frohm.

No, I gotta be at CAL Bank at 4,

and I'm late.

-I'll pay you back, honest.

-Five is good?

Five is lovely. Thank you.

Thank you.

That's it. That's the room quota.

There's no more space.

You gotta head out.

That's it for today.

Come back tomorrow.

All the rooms are full.

It's completely full.

That's it. Just keep heading out.

Come back tomorrow.

You like it?

Twenty. One, two, three, four.

Now, here's your bulb,

and there's your ferrite core inductor.

-How much?

-Eight dollars.

-What's that?

-It's to repair the light.

Can I see it?

Yeah, sure. Just don't break it.

Unless you wanna sleep in a room

with me for the rest of your life.

I don't mind.

Yeah, you will.

Why don't you

get some sleep, okay?

Okay.

-Warm enough?

-Yeah.

All right.

Did Mom leave because of me?

-What?

-Did Mom leave because of me?

Don't-- Don't even think

something like that.

Mom left because of Mom.

And you didn't have anything

to do with that, okay?

Okay.

You're a good papa.

All right, go to sleep.

-I love you.

-I love you too.

So far, so good, Chris.

-lt works.

-Thank you very much.

Two hundred and fifty dollars.

Four more weeks of oxygen.

One hundred, 20, 40, 60, 80, 200.

Twenty, 30, 40, 50.

-Anything else?

-No, sir.

Thank you. Thank you.

-You ready?

-Yep.

-Are we going to the church place?

-No.

Where are we going, then?

-Probably stay at a hotel.

-A hotel?

Just for the night.

We can go back to the cave

if you like.

No, thank you.

-Ever?

-I hope not.

Why not?

Well, because some things are fun

the first time you do them...

...and then not so much the next.

-Like the bus?

-Yeah, like the bus.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh,

should I?

Sometimes when we're moving

at night...

...we pass houses with lights

and people.

Sometimes you can

hear them laugh.

The next day, after work...

... we just went to the beach.
