That’s all you people know how to do. Kill what you don’t understand.
I don’t understand.[Christopher]You don’t understand what?[Chris Gardner]Are we going to the game?[Christopher]I said possibly we’re going to the game. You know what “possibly” means?[Chris Gardner]Like probably.[Christopher]No, “probably” means there’s a good chance that we’re going. “Possibly” means we might, we might not. What does “probably” mean?[Chris Gardner]It means we have a good chance.[Christopher]And what does “possibly” mean?[Chris Gardner]I know what it means.[Christopher]What does it mean?[Chris Gardner]It means that we’re not going to the game.[Christopher]
My daughter speaks with a wisdom beyond her years. We have all come here with anger in our hearts, but she comes with courage and understanding. From this day forward, if there is to be more killing, it will not start with me.
