Christopher
- Christopher Gardner: [after playing basket ball] 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: [while walking past a bus and to sell a bone density scanner] Hey dad, you wanna hear something funny? There was a man who was drowning, and a boat came, and the man on the boat said "Do you need help?" and the man said "God will save me". Then another boat came and he tried to help him, but he said "God will save me", then he drowned and went to Heaven. Then the man told God, "God, why didn't you save me?" and God said "I sent you two boats, you dummy!"
- Christopher Gardner: [walking to Walter Ribbon's home] Probably means there's a good chance. Possibly means we might or we might not.
- Christopher: Okay.
- Christopher Gardner: So, what does probably mean?
- Christopher: It means we have a good chance.
- Christopher Gardner: And what does possibly mean?
- Christopher: I know what it means! It means we're *not* going to the game.

- Christopher: Oh, okay. Is "Fuck" spelled right?
- Christopher Gardner: Um, yes. "Fuck" is spelled right but you shouldn't use that word.
- Christopher: Why? What's it mean?
- Christopher Gardner: [going inside the daycare] It's, um, an adult word used to express anger and, uh, other things. But it's an adult word. It's spelled right, but don't use it.
