[English]

- That's bullshit. - No, I'm pretty sure I can do it.

- No, you can't. - Let me see it.

Give it here.

- Taxi! - Mr. Twistle.

- Yeah, hi. - Hi. Chris Gardner.

Yeah, hi. Listen. What can I do for you?

I submitted an application for the intern programme about a month ago...

...and I would just love to sit with you briefly...

Listen, I'm going to Noe Valley, Chris.

- Take care of yourself. - Mr. Twistle.

Actually, I'm on my way to Noe Valley also.

How about we share a ride?

- All right, get in. - All right.

So when I was in the Navy, I worked for a doctor...

...who loved to play golf, hours every day...

...and I would actually perform medical procedures...

...when he'd leave me in the office.

So I'm used to being in a position where I have to make decisions and...

Mr. Twistle, listen. This is a very important...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This thing's impossible.

- I can do it. - No, you can't. No one can.

- That's bullshit. - No, I'm pretty sure I can do it.

- No, you can't. - Let me see it.

Give it here.

Oh, yeah. Oh, wow, you really messed it up.

Sorry.

It looks like it works around a swivel, so the centre pieces never move.

So if it's yellow in the centre, that's the yellow side.

If it's red in the centre, that's the red side.

- Okay. - So... You can slow down.

Listen, we can drive around all day. I don't believe you can do this.

- Yeah, I can. - No, you can't.

- Yes, I can. - No, you can't.

I'm telling you, no one can.

See? That's all I ever do.

You almost have this side.

Holy cow.

- You almost had that one. - I'm gonna get it.

Look at that.

You're almost there.

- 1710. - This is me.

Good job.

- Goodbye. - Yeah. I'll see you soon.

Where are you going, sir?

Excuse me, sir. Where are you going, please?

Two... A couple of blocks.

- Just flip around. - Okay.

Hey! Stop it! Hey!

- Where are you going? Come here! - No!

- No, no, no! - You asshole, give me my money!

- Give me my money. - Please stop.

- Please, please, please! - Son of a bitch.

Please! He should've paid you!

- Come here! - I'm sorry.

- I'm so sorry. - I'll kick your ass!

- I'm sorry! - Idiot.

I'll get you!

I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!

Hey!

Stop it, you son of a bitch!

Stop him!

Stop him!

The doors are closing.

Please stand clear of the doors.

No! No! No!

No!
