I don't want you to think of this

as just a film,

some process

of converting electrons and magnetic impulses

into shapes and figures and sounds.

No.

Listen to me.

We're here to make a dent in the universe. [480p & 720p Movies Download | Mkvking.com]

Otherwise, why even be here?

We're creating a completely new consciousness,

like an artist or a poet. [480p & 720p Movies Download | Mkvking.com]

That's how you have to think of this.

We're rewriting the history of human thought with what we're doing.

Right.

Well, Steven, at the moment,

I'm a touch more worried about getting light on the actress.

Do you know what I mean?

Simon.

Michelle.

Yeah?

Michelle, walk...

Yes, walk towards the lens slowly.

Like this?

More towards the table.

Okay? Right.

Right.

I always wondered what it must have been like

for Steve.

I mean, ever since we were kids, everything he ever did

was somewhere between a religious experience and some sort of crusade.

Like with this commercial.

It was practically a legend

from the time Ridley Scott filmed it,

like the book 1984, with all the downtrodden masses,

and that one huge spark of rebellion

against the evil Big Brother who ran everything.

SCOTT: Go, go, go.

Smoke it up, please.

And you three. That's right, you'll come with me.

The rest of you stay in the back.

We are one people with one will,

one resolve, one cause.

Our enemies shall talk themselves to death,

and we will bury them with their own confusion.

We shall prevail.

And then, 13 years later,

Steve has to stand up on that stage in Boston.

Man, that was...

That was weird.

The era of competition between us

is over.

Thank you, Bill.

Thank you for standing with us.

The world's a better place because of it.

Microsoft is gonna ruin Apple!

You can't trust them.

I know.

I realize that this news may be shocking to some of you.

I mean, Steve talking to Bill Gates,

who's staring down like he's Big Brother.

And he was.

For years, Steve almost went crazy over what Bill was doing to him,

and now he's up there on that stage in front of the world, telling everybody

he's practically the Second Coming.

I mean, how do you get from there to here?

There was a disturbance today on the campus of the University of California at Berkeley.

Berkeley wasn't the only campus...

The Santa Barbara campus reported a small-scale riot as well.

The demonstrators said they were...

More than 400 students

have taken part in the demonstration...

In the morning,

police began launching tear-gas grenades to break up the crowd.

Student leaders say they are anxious to meet with university officials

to express their views on Vietnam.

Steve, what the hell are we doing here?

Let's get out of here.

Stay back.

Hold it. Hold it there. Get back.

Those guys think they're revolutionaries.

They're not revolutionaries. We are. We are?

WOZNIAK: You know, Steve was never like you or me.

He always saw things differently.

Even then, when I was in Berkeley,

I would see something and just see kilobytes or circuit boards,

while he'd see karma or the meaning of the universe.

Steve and I found this weird guy

who was a hero around Berkeley,

all because he found a way to beat the system.

This guy was called Captain Crunch

because he figured out

this little whistle...

...that you found in boxes of Cap'n Crunch cereal

had the same tones

as AT&T's long-distance equipment.

So you got free phone calls anywhere in the world

with this thing I built called the blue box.

And then we tested it out by calling the pope.

You talk to him. No, no, no.

No, they're not putting you through to the pope,

are they? I totally figured it out, man.

I figured it out. I know what it's all about.

You know what it's about?

It's about power.

Right on, man.

It's like those weird countries, man,

where the army guys overthrow the president.

The first thing that they take over

are the ways people communicate, you know,

radio, TV, newspapers.

Far out, man.

Information is power.

WOZNIAK: I kept building the blue boxes,

and Steve kept selling them,

until one day, we almost got busted by some cops

who, thank God,

didn't even know what a blue box was.

You might wanna try a haircut, boys.

So I started trying to build something

that wasn't gonna get us in trouble.

That's not a blue box.

It's a computer.

Woz, we need blue boxes, not computers.

Lookit, I got a reporter from The Mercury News

coming over. What the hell for?

My mom phoned the paper, told them I was building a computer,

they wanna do a story on it. Woz, give me a break.

Hey, let me ask you something, seriously.

Look at me.

Do you wanna get stuck here for the rest of your life

in this hellhole?

Look, this is where I grew up, okay?

It's not a hellhole. Shoot!

I know your newspaper

will find Steve's computer fascinating.

He's so ingenious.

He built it all from spare parts.

Steven, the reporter is...

Oh. Hi. It caught fire.

My first chance at fame, and the computer catches fire.

Sorry.

WOZNIAK: When I was still at Berkeley,

I kept making some weird electronic gadgets

that were basically just jokes.

But, hey, you know, jokes are important.

The problem back then

was me and Steve and his girlfriend

were pretty much broke.

So we ended up doing some pretty nutty things

just to make money.

I know where we can get a job.

Saw it on the bulletin board over there.

What kind of job?

I don't know.

It seems sort of like show business.

WOZNIAK: I mean, dressing up as Alice in Wonderland

and stuff for a bunch of kids?

Ow!

WOZNIAK: But, you know,

Steve wasn't exactly cut out for that stuff.

Maybe in a past life I was a poet... or an artist.

You know, maybe you talk about past lives

and all that stuff

because, well, you don't know who you are.

What the hell are you talking about?

I don't know who I am?

Well, you don't. I mean, you told me...

I don't wanna talk about it with you or anyone else.

I'm just trying to help.

♪ Hare Krishna Hare Krishna ♪

WOZ: It wasn't like Steve and I lost touch with each other

back then, but he was definitely in places that I wasn't.

Like some ashram in India

and communes up in Oregon,

where they picked apples all day.

It was pretty much of a journey for Steve.

The kind that's as much on the inside

as on the outside.

I mean, he definitely must have been to weird places.

Hey, did you see the new Playmate?

Miss October?

Hey, man, Miss August is way better.

Boobs out to here.

Honest to God, Ballmer.

You have no culture.

Yeah, right.

Like you go around reading Plato.

Hey, you're the only guy I know

who could make furniture out of Playboys,

for God sakes.

Look, you got enough to make a chair.

You don't have to worry about 'em moving around

because they're stuck together.

Ballmer, get out of here.

They're all stuck together.

BALLMER: Sometimes, even back then,

I could've throttled Bill Gates.

The guy could turn any human situation

into a poker game.

Forget about classes. Poker.

The fact that the world might end tonight?

No problem. Poker.

Or we're finally deciphering the meaning of life.

More poker.

And winning.

The guy would have a hairball if he'd lost,

which wasn't often, let me tell you.

Full house.

Ugh! Oh, man.

Hey, Bill.

BALLMER: Our rooms were like a casino.

Actually, a messy casino.

And Bill slept wherever he fell down.

Bill, the revolution's starting without us.

BALLMER: Bill and Paul Allen

had known each other since they were kids,

and if the word "passion" entered into their lives,

it was for one thing: computers.

Especially this one

made by some guy in Albuquerque, of all places.

What is this, porn for engineers?

Oh, jeez, the Altair.

Am I missing something?

I mean, Miss October, I can understand,

but what is this?

This is better than Miss October.

This is a computer.

Oh, God.

The article says that they need someone

to figure out a computer language for it.

Right now, it just sits there and blinks.

Look, whoever talks to this Ed Roberts

has gotta go down there to Albuquerque to see him.

Well, then, you should go,

because you look better for that stuff than I do.

I do not.

Well, you both look terrible, so just get used to it.

Well, then, what are we supposed to do?

It's simple.

You call and say you're Paul.

And then Paul goes to Albuquerque

and says he's Paul.

Huh?

So, uh, what are you gonna say?

Hi. Mr. Ed Roberts, please.

This is Paul Allen calling from Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Look, it's our job to find out

what this guy doesn't know that he needs

but does need,

and then make sure he knows that he does need it,

and that we're the only ones to give him the answer.

What?

Mr. Roberts?

Yes, sir, Mr. Allen.

I tell you,

I believe that we've got one hot product here.

And the reason I can speak that way

is because I've taken over 50 phone calls

from people just wanting to come to work with us

on this Altair project.

So here's the deal.

I snuck two women into my room.

And they're naked.

I mean, like, really naked.

You know, like, gorgeous naked.

So don't say I never did anything for you,

because they're waiting for you right now.

Drop dead, Ballmer.

Oh, and I told them

that you were writing a computer language,

and right away, they start moaning for it.

"Oh, computer languages.

"Oh, Fortran.

"Oh, Fortran.

Ohh..."

That's not an improvement, Bill.

No, no. I just realized something.

Paul's on his way right now to Albuquerque,

and I forgot to write the loader.

The thing that connects the computer to the Teletype.

If he starts it, and it can't read the tape, we're dead.

Unless he did it on the plane... I'm finished.

You know, it's something I just realized.

WOZNIAK: Back then, our big thrill

was going to this thing they called the Homebrew Club

at Berkeley.

It was where a bunch of guys spent all their spare time trying to get access

to big computers owned by the local corporations.

And people would go there

and show the stuff they just built.

Except most of it didn't really work all that well.

LECTURER: ...read in the Popular Electronics issue

about a year ago, um,

about the new Altair 8800.

WOZNIAK: I was really nervous that day we walked in

with my little homemade computer,

but I got a real charge out of it.

I mean, all those guys coming over

and wanting to talk to me...

Um, the schematics we have...

What is this thing?

Check it out.

The first computer you're ever gonna see.

What's the screen for?

WOZNIAK: I was never good at talking to people

in those days,

but Steve... he was amazing.

Just think about Alexander Graham Bell,

when he heard his first ring.

Because that's as revolutionary as this idea is right here.

What's he's talking about, the Altair? Yeah.

I never had a problem with the Altair till I tried to use it.

WOZNIAK: All of a sudden, we found what we wanted to do with our lives.

It was all we ever wanted. To 30.

What you see here is the first personal computer that you're gonna wanna buy.

No, no.

Man, 50!

We sold 50.

IBM is gotta be loading in their pants.

You know, Steve,

I don't even think IBM knows who we are.

Good.

This is guerrilla warfare.

They're the enemy.

They are?

I used to think

maybe Steve was born obsessed with wiping out IBM.

And in a way, you could see why.

I mean, in those days, as far as we were concerned,

IBM was practically like the Pentagon.

hordes of them coming

to see this amazing little machine

with 62 chips

and ICs that make all these colors.

STEVE JOBS: Hard plastic, molded casing.

You've never seen this...

65.02 and up.

No, we got them beat.

WOZNIAK: And when the guys from Microsoft showed up,

I mean, how were we to know who they were?

Them standing there,

looking at an empty Altair booth

on one side

and us on the other.

I mean, who would you choose?

Hi. How are you? Hi. How are you?

Hi. How you doing? Steve.

I'm Bill Gates.

Yeah, hi. Chairman of Microsoft.

Yeah. Nice to see you.

Microsoft, we design...

Yeah, good to see you.

Hey, Steve. Over here.

Hi, John.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

No, wait, come here. Come here.

Maybe he just didn't hear you or something.

Yeah, maybe.

For the first time in my life,

people are coming to me,

instead of me going to them.

Man, this is insanely great.

WOZNIAK: I'm telling you, it was a weird time.

People were going nuts over the Apple II.

I couldn't keep up with anything.

The company was expanding so fast,

I didn't know who half the new people were.

And Steve had a lot of people, you know, older people,

start pay attention to him, which was amazing.

And me too, sort of.

People even knew who I was.

Hi.

It should have been fun,

but with all the good stuff, bad stuff came too.

Steve. What?

Oh, jeez. Not again.

What?

What? What?

What are you...?

What are you talking about, it's not your child?

Look, how do I even know if this baby's mine?

You know. How do I know that?

Damn you, you know.

Steve, I'm two months pregnant.

Who else have I been with?

Look, you go do whatever it is you wanna do.

You wanna play mommy? Fine. But the kid's not mine.

It is. It is.

You bastard!

God.

What did they say?

Hey, Steve.

Take a look at this.

Carl's got that parity on that BASIC...

You guys are not being paid to be a bunch of clowns!

Or maybe you are.

Maybe that's the problem around here.

You guys are supposed to be writing programs.

Steve, we were just doing...

I need people with talent.

I need artists!

What the hell are you morons

but a bunch of clock-punching losers?

Huh, tell me?

And here is another letter of recommendation.

Well, Mr. Brewster,

we've looked at your application,

and I see a lot of mainframe experience here.

Six years.

Actually...

Six-and-a-half.

Steve?

I don't know if you've met Steve Jobs.

Yes. Uh, no.

It's good to meet you.

Right.

Um, uh, you were in marketing, correct?

That was before the programming.

Yeah.

I took night-school courses at San Jose State.

You look like an IBM type.

Well... no.

But I did have a chance in college

to be interviewed by them,

and they liked me enough.

They flew me out to their headquarters

back east.

Oh, I'm sure they did.

N-No, I-I did, see?

I was one of about a dozen people

that they really recruited.

Are you a virgin?

Steve, come on.

What?

Am I wh-what?

Are you a virgin?

I... Uh...

No.

How old were you when you first got laid?

I don't... I don't...

Steve, will you leave him alone?

I asked you a question.

My...

My wife and I have been married

since we were in grad school.

I didn't ask you about your wife.

You're still a virgin.

You just think you're not.

You don't fit in here.

Why are you even wasting our time?

I, uh...

Yeah, I'll run a test on it.

Steve...

You demolished that guy.

Woz, what we're doing right now

is like...

opening doors.

Every day.

If you open the wrong one,

all sorts of bad things will come at you.

You gotta be careful which door you open.

You want me to go apologize to that guy?

Well, he probably left.

You know, Steve, there's things

you probably have to get past with me.

But I'm telling you,

there's things that I have to get past with you.

I mean, people say stuff about you sometimes,

and I don't listen to them, because I know you.

I mean, I excuse stuff because we're friends.

It's worth it. It is.

It's worth it. It's worth it. It's worth it.

BALLMER: It was about that time,

maybe five years after I got out of Harvard,

I get this call from Bill,

who says, "You wanna join me and Paul?"

It was a two-bit little company they called Microsoft.

"And at first I think, " Yeah.

Like I'd like to lose more hair."

But, you know, then I started thinking.

You know how you survive?

You make people need you.

You survive...

because you make them need what you have.

And then they have nowhere else to go.

Right now we're dead.

Nobody needs us.

So we make 'em need us?

We're too small even to matter.

We could be snuffed out tomorrow,

and no one would notice.

You know what they say in the Mafia?

You keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

Which enemies are you talking about?

BALLMER: I got some full barf bags here.

Full barf bags.

Heads up. He's sick.

Bald guy with barf bags.

Coming through. Full ones too.

BALLMER: You see, by that time, Bill had already figured out

that we gotta go right into the belly of the beast,

the scariest beast of 'em all, IBM.

IBM.

And back then, man...

they were like Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan,

and Vlad the Impaler

all rolled into one.

But what we were gonna do was

we were gonna make 'em love us.

Gentlemen, how are you?

Nice tie. Thanks.

We're over here.

Our shirts are as white as theirs.

We think we have what you need.

That's a start.

Now, we know

that IBM has set up this place

to compete head-on with Apple,

and that you're gearing up

to come out with a personal computer

that will wipe them out.

So we can get you an operating system.

What kind of operating system?

It's called... DOS.

This is amazing.

Not just amazing, it's historic.

It should be taught in all the history books,

I mean, hung and framed in the National Gallery

or something,

because this is the instant of creation,

of one of the greatest fortunes in the history of the world.

I mean, Bill Gates is the richest guy in the world

because of what started in this room.

You wanna know what else?

It wasn't exactly smoke and mirrors,

but we didn't have anything.

I mean, not a damn thing.

Here we were, this two-bit little outfit,

telling IBM we had the answer to their problems.

DOS?

The Disk Operating System?

To make all those zillion IBM computers compute?

We didn't even remotely own anything

like what Bill was selling them.

Nada, zip.

Of course, we don't just wanna sell it to you outright.

We wanna be able to license it to you.

You want to retain ownership?

Right.

Well, the profits are in the computers themselves,

not this software stuff.

Mm.

No big deal.

Oh, and one other thing.

We have to be able to sell it to other outfits.

But...

there was just one little problem.

Bill, why did you tell them we have an operating system?

We don't have a thing to sell them now, you know.

We're dead.

We're not. You'll give us that miracle, right, Paul?

Oh, yeah, right.

Well, come on, you said you knew a guy

who we could buy an operating system from.

No, I said I sort of know him.

Sort of? You heard me. Don't tell me "sort of."

I just told IBM.

Sort of.

Here you go.

Thanks.

So, basically, you're saying

you wanna buy my operating system.

Yeah.

Why?

You know, I don't know.

We just think we might be able to, you know, mess with it

and resell it.

Who to?

We have a few customers we're sort of talking to.

Some of 'em don't want it known

what we're doing with them.

So they made us sign a secrecy agreement.

And you're offering us...?

Fifty thousand.

Dollars?

Dollars.

You worried?

Oh, no. Only my whole life hangs in the balance.

Me, worried? No.

We got IBM. IBM!

I mean, come to think of it,

why would IBM wanna make a deal

with a bunch of bozos like us?

Because they're successful, Ballmer.

You know, success is a menace.

It fools smart people into thinking that they can't lose.

So?

So, you mute moron?

Whoo!

♪ Baby, babe Let's get together... ♪

BALLMER: Can you hear it?

The sound of money?

The roar of money.

It was like everywhere you turned,

money started pouring down on you,

millions and more millions,

all because we bought that guy's operating system

for a measly 50,000 bucks.

That fueled a worldwide explosion of wealth

unlike anything in the history of man.

But you know something?

Having money and being cool

are not necessarily the same thing.

Hi, I'm Bill Gates...

Hey. What in the...?

Hi.

You know, you should really watch where you're going.

WOZNIAK: All of a sudden, Steve was a huge star...

You know, the kind

where people practically hang on your every word

like they're excited just to be around you.

Thank you very much for joining us today

on this lovely day

and helping us stop the gossip rumors

in their tracks.

So without further ado, the rumors are true.

Ladies and gentlemen, our new president, John Sculley.

To tell you the truth,

I was perfectly happy to be president of Pepsi-Cola

until Steve Jobs came to recruit me and said,

"Do you wanna sell sugared water

"for the rest of your life,

or do you wanna make history?"

Yeah. Yeah.

I know.

STEVE JOBS: Yeah, operator...

Give me I need information a minute. for Oregon.

Steve, I gotta talk.

I don't know how to act in situations like this.

In a minute.

I mean, Steve, that stock-offering thing?

A hundred million dollars?

What do you do with $116 million?

In a minute!

I don't think rich, Steve, okay?

I know a lot of people think rich,

but I don't think rich.

I mean, maybe you learn it, but, jeez, $100 million.

I mean, that's a lot of learning to do.

I hardly ever had enough for lunch

before all this.

We should have given stock to the other guys, Steve.

Like Dan?

I mean, Dan's been with us since we started,

and you didn't set aside any stock for him.

Steve...

I'm gonna give Dan some of my stock.

Yeah, is Arlene there?

We gotta do the right thing.

Arlene? Okay, fine.

Let's talk about this baby.

Steve, why do you care what I call the baby?

Because I don't want the baby named Rainbow.

Or Orisha or Ravi Shankar, or any other name like that.

Steve, not right now, okay?

Well, when the hell is a good time to call?

Because every time I try...

Oh.

You're welcome.

Hi.

Hi.

So I just came by to make sure everything's okay.

Everything okay?

Thank you.

And to, uh...

make sure that you're not gonna name it

some weird name.

What's wrong with naming her Orisha?

Or Sunshine or Purity?

A kid's got enough problems in this world...

not knowing where it belongs.

A name can label a kid...

Make it, um...

It can make it an outsider.

Not "it."

Her.

Her.

Psst. Lisa.

Okay.

Okay.

She's your daughter too.

Arlene... let's not go through that again.

You don't just live in life.

You change it, you shape it, you make your mark upon it.

And that's what... get used to the name...

Lisa is gonna do.

Yeah!

WOZNIAK: You know, that computer

was the first big new project we had at Apple.

And some people are still wondering

why Steve insisted on that name.

You wanna call a computer "Lisa"?

Isn't that your baby's...?

I mean...

What's her name? Arlene.

Isn't that Arlene's baby's name?

Other guys here have daughters named Lisa.

Steve, you got a baby up there you don't even wanna talk about.

I mean,

it looks sort of...

Sort of what?

We have to think of ourselves as artists.

And it's like Picasso said: Good artists copy.

Great artists steal.

WOZNIAK: This is who we wanted to steal from.

Xerox.

They were secretly developing all this amazing stuff,

like the mouse and the graphics on the screen

instead of just a bunch of numbers.

But when those California engineers

had to go to New York

and present all this neat stuff to the Xerox brass,

those executives didn't begin to understand

what they were looking at.

Never mind a mouse.

It was like someone dumped a dead rat

on the boardroom table.

♪ Long time, no see ♪

♪ Short time... ♪

A mouse.

You want Xerox to consider something called a mouse?

♪ There's a place A Gemini dream ♪

♪ There's no escaping From the love we have seen... ♪

WOZNIAK: See, this is where Steve was a genius,

because he persuaded Xerox's head office

into showing us all this incredible stuff

their California guys had developed.

I'm telling you, it was making their people absolutely nuts.

Oh, God.

♪ The time is right To rock 'n' roll ♪

♪ Right through The night ♪

Let's go.

WOZNIAK: You know, I felt like one of the Mongol hordes

coming to loot and plunder

a bunch of defenseless villagers.

No, no, no. This is insane.

We'd just be handing him everything.

We created the mouse, and all the rest of it,

and now these idiots in New York

want to show it all to Steve Jobs.

I won't do it.

Hi.

I'm Steve Jobs.

I need you to answer some other questions

about the stuff you've invented.

The graphic interface?

It's not going to hurt.

That's what you think.

What do you want to know?

What is your base length? Is it integer, or is it compound?

Does your operating system convert to executable codes?

I got it, Steve-O. I got it, Steve-O.

What is the middle...?

It's pretty neat, right?

Click, you're there.

Click, you're somewhere else.

This graphic interface stuff was like a miracle back then,

and we got it.

Steve got it, from Xerox,

who just turned it all over for us to fool with

like rich people giving junky old stuff

to the Salvation Army,

only the junk turns out to be a Rembrandt,

about $100 billion head start on everyone else.

Apple was making tons of money.

It was great.

And, of course, I sort of lost my mind.

I mean, it was all fun and games.

I started buying really expensive toys.

It was me with my own plane.

Only problem was,

maybe I wasn't as good a pilot as I thought I was.

I mean, it's one thing when computers crash,

but planes?

You don't want to know.

Hey, Steve. Are you just getting here?

No, I was just outside talking to the doctor.

You don't remember us talking 10 minutes ago?

We talked?

Yeah.

Hey, my hard disk crashed.

Mm hmm.

A computer guy with memory problems.

Oh... man.

It's the weirdest thing,

because you know there's a part of your life that's there,

only you don't know about it.

It makes you crazy.

Hey.

Hey!

Paul!

Simonyi, get Matthews.

Ballmer, get in here.

What is it?

This is seriously crummy.

Apple's new computer, Lisa? We're dead.

Oh, yeah, I've already seen one of these.

The graphics and the operating system they have on these,

they make the stuff we're selling IBM

look about a decade out-of-date.

I want it.

What do you mean, you want it?

I mean, it's Apple's. We can't just go and steal it.

No, no, you're not listening to me.

I want it!

Final call

for TWA flight 2684 to San Jose.

Final call.

Fifty bucks he misses the flight.

You're on.

It wouldn't hurt to buy a car radio, Bill.

I can't pick up the radio...

One traffic report.

Hold on.

Sir, we're on this plane.

I'm sorry. Your plane is on the runway.

Excuse me, ma'am, what kind of service is this today?

I'm sorry, sir.

There's nothing that can bring that plane back to the gate.

Yes, there is. Willpower.

I'm gonna will that that plane

be turned around right now, please.

Oh, really?

Really, sir.

Are you aware that today, in my briefcase,

are computer language codes?

Do you know what they do, sir?

I'm afraid I don't.

They protect against viruses.

You're aware of viruses, I presume?

Sir, I do go to doctors.

No, sir, computer viruses.

Oh, yeah, I just read an article about those things.

They could wipe out a whole computer.

A whole system of computers, ma'am,

like the one behind your terminal there,

like the one in the plane on the airline,

like the one on all the planes on the airlines,

like the one in the control tower, sir.

Sir, I ask you today,

are you prepared to take responsibility for your actions

if I don't get this information on that plane?

Jeez, his reputation

for inconveniencing the rest of the world

is intact.

He actually missed the flight.

Folks, this is your captain speaking.

We have to return to the gate for a few minutes.

Nothing critical.

WO Attention, please, flight...

Your tickets, please.

You have the tickets, right?

No, I gave them to you.

Bill, in the car.

Wow.

These guys must be 50 times bigger than we are.

Good artists copy.

Great artists steal.

Oh, yeah? Who said that?

Some artist.

I think it was Van Gogh.

Hey, check it out.

BALLMER: Aye, matey.

It wouldn't be time to rape and pillage, would it?

GILMORE: You sure it's okay

to let these Microsoft guys in here?

We have culture. They don't.

No taste. No original thinking.

But they can be useful to us.

Time for the dog and pony show.

Welcome to Apple.

JOBS: Bill.

Nice to see you. Thank you for coming.

Steve. How you doing, Steve?

Glad you're here.

Paul. Hi. Steve Jobs.

Hi. Charles Simonyi.

Come on in. Let me introduce you around.

This is Gilmore.

He's one of our top programmers.

And he's a loyal man.

Well, to do this, you need loyalty.

Total loyalty. Isn't that right?

That's the plan, Steve.

This way.

The Macintosh team.

It's more like a family.

Everybody else is an outsider.

What's with the pirate stuff?

What do I always tell you?

Better to be a pirate than join the Navy.

You a pirate? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, absolutely, Steve.

I've been up for 52 hours straight.

Loyalty.

I'm gonna show you the future.

It's top-secret.

It's still about a year away from introduction.

The ultimate, insanely great fusion of art and science.

It's called the Macintosh.

This is definitely not the Lisa.

That's a graphic user interface.

I don't understand.

How does a computer handle the mouse-cursor display?

No, no, no, the hardware's got nothing to do with the mouse.

It's all right here in the software.

Enough!

Sorry, Steve.

There's no point in torturing our guests...

with what they can't have.

You're vulnerable in spreadsheets,

you know, Steve.

We can help you.

Ninety hours a week.

Like the T-shirt?

I'm gonna give it to my people.

Some of 'em work even more than 90 hours a week.

We have Multiplan running

on dozens of different platforms.

No one can match us.

You can't just have employees anymore.

It's great.

No, they gotta be into a crusade.

It's like art, science, religion,

all rolled into one.

We have multi-tool interface.

It can be redesigned for the Mac.

Redesigned.

Redesigned.

We're artists here.

A place where raw sand comes in one end

and goes out the other.

Silicon art.

You know, IBM,

they're gonna want all our stuff.

IBM?

IBM... they're history.

I mean, they're 1950s, they're ice America,

they're a bloated enemy in a crumbling castle.

And we're storming it.

I know IBM is the enemy, Steve.

But we can help you.

You don't have to worry about IBM.

Yeah?

So why you even working with them?

I'd much rather work with you.

We're in.

We're doing work for Apple.

You're kidding me.

No. They're sending us three prototypes

of the new computer we just saw.

The Macintosh. For God sakes.

There's a pirate flag flying above our heads,

and he's giving us the crown jewel?

I mean, who the hell's the pirate here?

The guy sees what he believes,

not the other way around.

We're not his worst problem.

If he's not careful, he's gonna wreck the place.

Macintosh! Macintosh!

Macintosh rules!

Apple II's the best!

Mac's the best!

WOZNIAK: Even when I got my memory back,

it was never the same for me.

I couldn't believe how it had all changed.

Apple was tearing itself to pieces.

Steve had turned it into two camps:

his new Macintosh group

against everyone else in the company.

♪ Everybody Wants to rule the world ♪

Steve, what the hell is this?

It's like a family.

Things get messy.

I don't understand this.

You got the Mac people against the Apple II people?

They're beating each other up.

It's amazing, huh?

People wanna be shaped, molded.

But if you asked any of 'em, any of 'em,

they'd deny it.

I don't wanna shape anybody, Steve.

This isn't fun anymore.

Maybe "fun" is just fragments of existence

with better packaging.

I don't make jokes anymore.

I told you a long time ago, I like jokes.

Steve!

Goodbye.

I'm quitting Apple.

Well, that's a joke, right?

No.

I'm going back to college.

Woz.

Hey, what are you doing?

I don't think it's such a good idea.

All I'm doing now is being a brake pedal for you

as you're heading for the wall.

Woz!

I ask you for brilliance?

Steve...

I've asked you for genius,

and you're giving me this?

Steve, please.

Oh, no, Steve, not again.

It's 3 a.m., okay?

I don't have the energy

to defend an unfinished design.

That's because there's nothing to defend.

I want beauty, not incompetence.

Are you listening to me?

Are you listening...?

Yes, I'm listening!

I am so sick of your abusiveness.

That's all you know.

Tearing people down, throwing tantrums.

You miserable son of a bitch.

What are you doing?

Come on, back off.

STEVE JOBS: I know we've been in a battle

And like all battles,

we've had our casualties along the way.

But today's about celebrating.

The Macintosh.

It's time for a christening...

of our little Macintosh,

our baby.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Real artists ship.

In this company, in Apple, in the entire business,

we, you, the Macintosh team,

are the only true artists.

You can forget Apple, forget Lisa.

It's only us.

The Macintosh team.

We have been chosen to seize history.

Yeah!

But first, carpe diem, seize the day.

It's your time to party, people.

Hey, John.

You hear what I heard in there?

GILMORE: Hey, man, what'd you say about Steve?

I'm sick of his crap.

What'd you say, man?

You heard me.

You wanna talk like that about Steve?

You wanna talk like that

about the guy who feeds you, man?

The guy who feeds you?

Huh? Come on.

MAN 2: Break it up.

Come on.

MAN 3: Hey, hey. Guys.

Never like this at Pepsi-Cola.

MAN 4: Knock it off.

You wanna sell sugar water

the rest of your life?

Steve... I'm worried.

Yeah?

Yeah, about what's happening.

All the, you know, "them versus us" stuff.

Macintosh versus Apple II.

You don't understand, John.

People need a cause.

We missed Vietnam.

This is our Vietnam.

It's tearing the company apart.

Creation is messy.

You want genius, you get madness.

Two sides of the same coin.

You knew that when I brought you in.

Steve, if you can't trust me, then God help you.

I didn't mention anything about trust, John.

There's another problem.

It's Arlene and the baby.

That's my business.

No. Not anymore.

Time magazine is doing another story.

You don't need the bad press.

Neither do we.

Child's not mine. Steve, come on.

You took a paternity test.

She is yours. It's right there in the results.

Paternity tests are a joke.

She's asking for $20,000.

Total. Nothing more.

Blackmail. You can afford the money.

Give her what she's asking for.

You should give her more.

It's not about the damn money.

Well, what is it, then?

I don't know.

Mommy, there's a man here.

It's been what,

a year?

Yeah, I've been busy.

I'm sure.

Why'd you come?

I don't know.

She's looking really good.

You should have come to see her.

Well, you could have brought her by.

Oh, Steve.

Here.

Thank you.

Thank you, Lisa.

Steve Jobs is killing us. Ballmer!

Yeah? This stuff is crummy. It's totally crummy.

Windows was supposed to ship last year, in case you forgot.

We're ready for you, Mr. Gates.

Why do I have to do this? I have work to do.

This is so stupid.

It's good PR.

It's for The Wall Street Journal.

I don't need PR.

Can you stand a little to the left?

The hole in that sweater of your shirt...

Turn all the way to the right.

What am I, a trained seal?

If Apple can do this, why can't we?

What else do you want us to do?

Whatever you have to. Meaning what, Bill?

Meaning ship Windows before the snow falls.

Hey, Bill, this is Seattle. It doesn't snow here.

Whatever, Steve.

Mr. Gates, I think maybe you should take off your sweater

because it clashes with the background.

The green and blue, it's just not in these days.

It's not in at all.

Sweat stains. This is awful.

I'd like to get back to work...

I know. We're almost ready.

And okay. And three... two... one.

Smile, please.

Urgent, Mr. Gates.

Thank you.

What's next?

Steve Jobs.

"Mr. Jobs demands you be in his office tonight."

He's getting paranoid over what we're doing, Steve.

Maybe he should be.

Not at the pace you're going.

You know what,

I think I had a date tonight with Ann.

I thought she was away on business.

She is.

Well, then, how can you have a date?

Well, I go to a movie here,

and then she goes to the same movie

in Denver,

and then we talk on the phone about it afterwards.

Jeez, Bill, I hate to see what happens

when you two have sex.

You're stealing from us!

Steve, we're not stealing from you.

So don't tell me that.

What the hell are you doing, then?

What is this that I keep hearing about you developing this...

What do you call it?

Windows?

To compete with us?

I'm not doing anything... against you, Steve.

Don't give me that crap!

You're pirating the software off our Mac prototypes!

I trusted you!

If you wanna know everything we're working on...

I'll show you.

BALLMER: The weird thing was

Steve Jobs was the one guy Bill would never yell at.

It was the opposite.

Steve would order Bill to fly down there

and then blow up at him,

but Bill, he would just wait it out,

convince Steve that we were no threat to him,

that this Windows stuff

was just that much more smoke and mirrors...

and a few hours later,

everything was fine.

I'm telling you, Bill's a genius at it.

And that's all you're working on?

Of course.

Yeah? You know what else?

Did you read what I said in that newspaper story on us

two days ago?

No. What'd you say?

I said when your new Macintosh comes out,

that'd be the only computer I'd want to buy my mom.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Your mom, huh?

Mm-hmm.

It's like we're one big family, you know?

Family?

You know that.

Hmm.

Family. Hmm.

Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve! Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve!

Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve!

Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve! Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve!

Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve!

Tell me something.

When did this stop being a business

and start being a religion?

STEVE JOBS: Thank you for your work.

And remember,

what we will do in the next year

will change the way people think

and communicate.

Hey. Hey.

STEVE JOBS: So enjoy the revolution

which we have all created

and watch...

You know, Steve thinks IBM's the enemy.

He doesn't get it.

You guys are.

What are you talking about?

Copies of your Windows just started surfacing here.

You took our stuff, Bill.

You took our stuff, you fooled with it,

and you called it your own.

You always insult your guests like this?

STEVE JOBS: Make no mistake.

We are all one big family.

And part of it are our friends at Microsoft.

Bill?

STEVE JOBS: Ladies and gentlemen,

Bill Gates.

Finally, I wanna show you a preview

of the most amazing 60 seconds of film

you'll ever see.

And we're showing it only once.

During the Super Bowl.

So watch and see how we handle IBM.

I mean Big Brother.

BALLMER: See, that commercial was interesting

in a lot of ways

because when we're at this big hoopla at Apple

and their engineers

are unpacking all these Japanese computers

with the first copies of our stuff, Windows,

that looks a lot like their stuff...

I mean, if I had to pick a moment...

Hey...

I'm getting some pretty weird vibes here.

Sure we should stay around?

Sometimes you deal 'em.

Sometimes you fold 'em.

Now's not the time to fold.

VOICE ON FILM: We shall prevail.

I obviously made a mistake.

I made a mistake.

I trusted.

I believed.

Family.

Maybe a Mafia family.

You turn your back, and you get whacked.

Our guys come back from Japan with this NEC,

and it's loaded with Microsoft programs.

Your Microsoft programs.

They're almost identical to ours.

There may be some similarities, Steve.

Similarities?

Similarities?

Try theft.

Steve, all cars have steering wheels,

but no one tries to claim

that the steering wheel was their invention.

We have a contract, you and I.

Well, you should read it more carefully.

What is this?

This is like doing business with, um...

like, a praying mantis.

You get seduced

and then eaten alive afterwards.

Get real, will you?

You and I are both like guys

that have this rich neighbor... Xerox,

that left the door open all the time.

And you go sneaking in to steal the TV set.

Only when you get there,

you realize that I got there first.

I got the loot, Steve!

And you're yelling?

"That's not fair.

I wanted to try to steal it first."

You're too late.

We're better than you are.

We have better stuff.

You don't get it, Steve.

That doesn't matter.

WOZNIAK: You know, like a lot of things,

there always seems to be one last time.

For us, it was when we all came together again

for this big party Steve threw for his 30th birthday.

It was just one of those things,

you know, where you try really hard

to make something work, but somehow it just doesn't.

And maybe you should have known it all along.

Is that really Ella Fitzgerald?

I have absolutely no idea.

Hi, chief.

Hey, you hear the kind of food they're serving here?

Salmon mousse, goat's cheese.

I can't eat that stuff. Why don't we go to Denny's?

Is that Joan Baez with him?

Wait, wait. Who's Joan Baez?

Hi. John.

♪ When they crown him Lord of all ♪

I need to talk to you. Hey.

It's important.

Okay, John. Excuse me.

We've got a problem.

We've been asked to make a toast to Steve.

Me? Toast Steve?

No way, man. Not after what's happened.

No way.

Oh, John, don't look at me.

I... Mike, Mike, you do it.

After the past few months?

I don't think so.

John, you're the one.

No. Not now. Absolutely. No way.

Why not?

Look, Steve thinks I'm his...

He thinks you're what?

Ladies and gentlemen, a toast.

To a remarkable man.

A man who brought me to this company...

without whom none of this tonight

would ever have happened.

Steve Jobs, truly a guiding light.

A man who sees the future.

Hear! Hear! Steve.

Happy birthday!

It's weird,

but sometimes you find things that are more important to you

than the things you think are important.

You know what I mean?

Maybe it's just getting older.

Okay, guys.

Let's see how we did.

Huh? That's a good one.

That's true.

We're learning about the size of the sun

versus the size of the Earth.

Hi, Steve.

I think it's gonna be really interesting.

I mean, you and me together.

Yeah.

It is.
