Daily Dialogue — April 14, 2012

Christopher Gardner: Hey. Don’t ever let somebody tell you… You can’t do something. Not even me. All right?
Christopher: All right.
Christopher Gardner: You got a dream… You gotta protect it. People can’t do somethin’ themselves, they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want somethin’, go get it. Period.

— Christopher Gardner (Will Smith), Christopher (Jaden Smith), The Pursuit of Happyness (2006), written by Steve Conrad

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is inspiration, suggested by Summer Johnson. Today’s suggestion by Liz Swan.

Trivia: Dan Castellaneta, who voices Homer Simpson on The Simpsons, co-stars in the film as one of Gardner’s superiors and requests a donut from Gardener. This is a nod to Casellaneta’s animated counterpart who shares a similar taste for donuts.
