1
00:00:09,175 --> 00:00:10,376
Man on recording:
Everything that you conceive
of yourself as being
2
00:00:10,378 --> 00:00:12,277
is an illusion.
3
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:15,514
There is no self.
4
00:00:15,516 --> 00:00:18,083
Take a deep breath in.
5
00:00:18,085 --> 00:00:21,286
( inhales )
6
00:00:21,288 --> 00:00:25,190
Recording:
Allow yourself to
experience everythingness
7
00:00:25,192 --> 00:00:27,793
and nothingness.
8
00:00:27,795 --> 00:00:31,797
As you breathe out,
let go of fear.
9
00:00:31,799 --> 00:00:35,501
You can choose
to leave the familiar...
10
00:00:35,503 --> 00:00:37,436
I'm fine.
11
00:00:37,438 --> 00:00:39,471
Recording:
...or stay in the safe
oblivion
12
00:00:39,473 --> 00:00:41,607
- of pain, ignorance...
- Donna.
13
00:00:41,609 --> 00:00:46,478
- Sorry. I'm sorry.
- Recording: ...and
a blank page.
14
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:49,214
- Gordon: We need
a lot of shrimp on ice.
- Bosworth: $2,000?
15
00:00:49,216 --> 00:00:52,184
- Gulf white, preferably.
- And not frozen 'cause
people will know.
16
00:00:52,186 --> 00:00:55,187
But two grand for shrimp?
What, are you gonna try
to drown someone in 'em?
17
00:00:55,189 --> 00:00:56,688
- It's crazy.
- Anyone who means anything
throws a lavish party.
18
00:00:56,690 --> 00:00:59,191
At COMDEX,
lavish equals shrimp.
19
00:00:59,193 --> 00:01:01,393
- Did we get
a decent booth location?
- I'm on hold right now.
20
00:01:01,395 --> 00:01:03,695
- Well, how much
is that gonna cost?
- 18 grand.
21
00:01:03,697 --> 00:01:05,264
Whew.
22
00:01:07,133 --> 00:01:08,667
You're not gonna ask me
50 questions?
23
00:01:08,669 --> 00:01:10,536
You gonna
blow the balls
off the numbers?
24
00:01:10,538 --> 00:01:13,472
Yes, sir.
Yes, hello.
25
00:01:13,474 --> 00:01:16,842
That's correct.
27th through the 2nd.
I'm sorry, can you hold?
26
00:01:16,844 --> 00:01:19,211
Maylene, this phone
is clicking now, too.
27
00:01:19,213 --> 00:01:21,180
- Can you get someone
in here to fix it?
- Yes, sir.
28
00:01:21,182 --> 00:01:23,749
Hello, sorry about that.
What is it?
29
00:01:26,352 --> 00:01:29,188
C-23. Thank you.
30
00:01:30,423 --> 00:01:35,294
Commodore, Tandy,
Cardiff Electric.
31
00:01:35,296 --> 00:01:38,397
- ( laughing )
- Gordon: That is huge,
that is huge.
32
00:01:38,399 --> 00:01:40,666
- ( laughs )
- It's so big, I'm telling you.
I've been there.
33
00:01:42,535 --> 00:01:45,237
( groans )
34
00:01:48,608 --> 00:01:50,375
- You all right?
- Uh-huh.
35
00:01:52,645 --> 00:01:54,746
You're not upset
about COMDEX?
36
00:01:54,748 --> 00:01:56,648
What?
37
00:01:56,650 --> 00:01:59,218
Why would I want
to go to COMDEX?
38
00:01:59,220 --> 00:02:00,886
It's just
for salesmen, right?
39
00:02:00,888 --> 00:02:03,755
They can just turn it on
to see what I did.
40
00:02:03,757 --> 00:02:06,158
True.
41
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,561
You know, I'll miss you
while I'm there.
42
00:02:10,763 --> 00:02:13,465
Yeah, me, too.
43
00:02:13,467 --> 00:02:16,368
( both laugh )
44
00:02:16,370 --> 00:02:18,137
You tell
Gordon yet?
45
00:02:18,139 --> 00:02:20,506
I keep putting it off.
You think he'll be upset?
46
00:02:20,508 --> 00:02:23,375
Gordon Clark?
47
00:02:23,377 --> 00:02:25,511
COMDEX.
48
00:02:25,513 --> 00:02:27,746
- Pretty amazing, huh?
- Debbie: I'll take
your word for it.
49
00:02:27,748 --> 00:02:31,216
Well, it's hard to explain
if you haven't actually
been there.
50
00:02:31,218 --> 00:02:32,484
I mean, I don't want
to oversell it or anything,
51
00:02:32,486 --> 00:02:34,586
but it is spectacular.
52
00:02:34,588 --> 00:02:36,788
There's gonna be over
a thousand booths this year.
53
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:38,423
All the heavy hitters
show up.
54
00:02:38,425 --> 00:02:42,294
You got Steve Jobs, Bill Gates,
Mitch Kapor, you know?
55
00:02:42,296 --> 00:02:45,264
IBM takes over
two hotel floors,
and the party scene--
56
00:02:45,266 --> 00:02:47,799
the party scene
is unbelievable.
57
00:02:47,801 --> 00:02:50,502
Donna and I were there in '81,
we started at the penthouse
58
00:02:50,504 --> 00:02:52,271
and worked our way down,
59
00:02:52,273 --> 00:02:55,541
hitting every corporate party
with decent booths.
60
00:02:55,543 --> 00:02:57,276
You got us rooms
at the Norwick, right?
61
00:02:57,278 --> 00:02:59,411
'Cause staying there
is key,
62
00:02:59,413 --> 00:03:00,946
otherwise you spend
the whole week waiting
in line for a taxi.
63
00:03:00,948 --> 00:03:04,449
Trust me, I know.
I learned the hard way.
64
00:03:04,451 --> 00:03:06,818
Wait, are you going, too?
65
00:03:06,820 --> 00:03:09,655
Joe said
he only needed one room.
66
00:03:09,657 --> 00:03:12,558
You're going
to COMDEX without me?
67
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,427
I'm sorry.
It was arranged the week
you were out sick.
68
00:03:15,429 --> 00:03:17,796
- I forgot to tell you.
- Bullshit you forgot
to tell me!
69
00:03:17,798 --> 00:03:19,498
Cameron's
not going either.
70
00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:21,233
Oh, well, if
Cameron's not going,
then all right, then.
71
00:03:21,235 --> 00:03:23,268
Look, it's not like
your role is essential.
72
00:03:23,270 --> 00:03:25,604
Yeah, I only built
the damn thing, Joe.
73
00:03:25,606 --> 00:03:28,307
COMDEX is about selling it
and that is my area of
expertise.
74
00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:30,309
What about the demo?
What if there's a glitch
in the system?
75
00:03:30,311 --> 00:03:32,277
Like when you
debuted the Symphonic?
76
00:03:34,847 --> 00:03:36,848
I was trying to avoid
bringing it up,
77
00:03:36,850 --> 00:03:39,284
but the fact is,
people still remember
what happened in '81.
78
00:03:39,286 --> 00:03:42,854
I can't afford
to have the stink from that
distracting potential buyers.
79
00:03:42,856 --> 00:03:45,857
But if I need
any troubleshooting,
you're my first call.
80
00:03:45,859 --> 00:03:47,726
I didn't kill myself
all these months
81
00:03:47,728 --> 00:03:49,628
for you to get all
the glory with the Giant.
82
00:03:49,630 --> 00:03:52,564
You plan on seeing me
at booth C-23 on Monday.
83
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,344
( panting )
84
00:04:05,346 --> 00:04:08,480
Recording:
...breathe out,
let go of fear.
85
00:04:08,482 --> 00:04:12,384
You can choose to leave
the familiar or stay...
86
00:04:12,386 --> 00:04:13,485
( bangs )
87
00:04:13,487 --> 00:04:16,855
( theme music playing )
88
00:04:50,623 --> 00:04:53,325
Donna:
Hunt?
89
00:04:54,794 --> 00:04:56,762
What are you
doing here?
90
00:04:56,764 --> 00:04:59,865
Donna, hey.
Uh, um...
91
00:04:59,867 --> 00:05:01,700
- How long have you
been out here?
- Not long.
92
00:05:01,702 --> 00:05:05,370
I was just, um...
93
00:05:05,372 --> 00:05:06,938
( sighs )
94
00:05:08,941 --> 00:05:13,378
- This was a mistake.
- No, no. I just--
95
00:05:13,380 --> 00:05:17,516
- I thought after Lubbock that--
- I shouldn't be here.
96
00:05:17,518 --> 00:05:23,055
Could you just forget
you ever saw me?
97
00:05:23,057 --> 00:05:26,391
Of course.
You don't have to worry.
98
00:05:26,393 --> 00:05:29,428
But you really
can't show up like this.
99
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:31,563
I know, it won't--
it won't happen again.
100
00:05:31,565 --> 00:05:33,865
I promise.
101
00:05:33,867 --> 00:05:37,502
Donna...
I want you to know
102
00:05:37,504 --> 00:05:39,738
I think you're
an amazing woman.
103
00:05:46,579 --> 00:05:49,348
Everything
all right over there?
104
00:05:49,350 --> 00:05:51,817
Noticed you guys had to
dig up your back lawn
105
00:05:51,819 --> 00:05:54,419
a while back,
resod everything.
106
00:05:54,421 --> 00:05:57,556
Just wanna make sure
there's not some sort
of ugly weed
107
00:05:57,558 --> 00:05:59,424
I need to look out for.
108
00:05:59,426 --> 00:06:03,562
Oh, uh, no.
The heat killed off
some patches.
109
00:06:03,564 --> 00:06:05,430
We just didn't
water enough.
110
00:06:05,432 --> 00:06:07,499
Oh, yeah.
( chuckles )
111
00:06:15,908 --> 00:06:18,577
Gordon:
Donna?
112
00:06:18,579 --> 00:06:20,779
I need to talk to you.
113
00:06:30,423 --> 00:06:32,858
Look, I know
we promise
114
00:06:32,860 --> 00:06:35,794
to discuss any
purchases over $50,
115
00:06:35,796 --> 00:06:38,630
but before you explode,
this was an emergency
situation
116
00:06:38,632 --> 00:06:39,965
and I had
to act fast.
117
00:06:39,967 --> 00:06:41,466
What do you mean,
emergency?
118
00:06:41,468 --> 00:06:43,001
Joe's trying
to box me out of COMDEX
119
00:06:43,003 --> 00:06:45,003
and I don't have to tell
you what a snake he is,
120
00:06:45,005 --> 00:06:46,638
but there was only one
room left on the Strip
121
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,774
and flights to Vegas
were shooting up.
122
00:06:48,776 --> 00:06:53,044
I had to put the $455
charge on our credit card.
123
00:06:53,913 --> 00:06:57,616
I just--
I have to be there.
124
00:06:57,618 --> 00:07:01,052
Whatever
you need to do.
125
00:07:01,054 --> 00:07:03,622
( stammers )
Oh, are-are you sure?
126
00:07:03,624 --> 00:07:05,891
Mm-hmm.
127
00:07:05,893 --> 00:07:08,560
Donna,
you're the best.
128
00:07:08,562 --> 00:07:10,762
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
129
00:07:10,764 --> 00:07:12,431
Oh, I gotta figure out
what suit I need to bring.
130
00:07:12,433 --> 00:07:14,633
Look, I know you think
I look good in blue,
131
00:07:14,635 --> 00:07:17,469
but I don't want
to risk anyone thinking
I'm with IBM, you know?
132
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,774
- Morning, Maylene.
- John...
133
00:07:22,776 --> 00:07:25,577
Now, sweetheart,
you know I can't
talk business
134
00:07:25,579 --> 00:07:27,179
till I get
my "ker-fee" in me.
135
00:07:30,783 --> 00:07:34,953
Nathan, well, I didn't
realize you were coming by.
136
00:07:34,955 --> 00:07:36,988
Can I get you
anything?
137
00:07:36,990 --> 00:07:39,558
Cup of joe.
Maylene knows
how you like it.
138
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,926
I'm fine right here.
139
00:07:49,969 --> 00:07:51,903
Wh-- what
brings you by?
140
00:07:51,905 --> 00:07:55,106
A little while back
you asked me for money
for this PC project.
141
00:07:55,108 --> 00:07:58,677
Oh, you told me to shove it,
if I remember correctly.
142
00:07:58,679 --> 00:08:01,813
Thank goodness you did.
I was able to shift
some things around--
143
00:08:01,815 --> 00:08:03,582
I've reconsidered.
144
00:08:04,817 --> 00:08:06,218
I see.
145
00:08:06,220 --> 00:08:08,854
I thought if my
old pal John Bosworth
146
00:08:08,856 --> 00:08:10,589
wants something
from me,
147
00:08:10,591 --> 00:08:12,924
I should
give it to him.
148
00:08:16,696 --> 00:08:20,532
A little early
in the day for a drink,
ain't it, John?
149
00:08:29,275 --> 00:08:31,843
You havin' fun,
Nathan?
150
00:08:31,845 --> 00:08:33,812
Hey, Boz,
we just got a--
151
00:08:33,814 --> 00:08:36,248
Who the hell do you think
you are, waltzing in here
like this?
152
00:08:36,250 --> 00:08:38,650
- What?
- What is your name again?
153
00:08:38,652 --> 00:08:41,953
- Cameron.
- Get the hell
out of my office, Cameron.
154
00:08:41,955 --> 00:08:44,523
Why do you think
I have a damn secretary?
155
00:08:44,525 --> 00:08:46,758
- Don't make me
say it again!
- All right.
156
00:08:48,861 --> 00:08:52,898
My God, John.
You're a bit jumpy
today, aren't you?
157
00:08:55,935 --> 00:08:58,570
If you don't mind,
I got a meeting.
158
00:09:03,609 --> 00:09:06,945
My main concern
is differentiating this
from the other PC compatibles.
159
00:09:06,947 --> 00:09:08,613
Press will want to lump it in
with all the others.
160
00:09:08,615 --> 00:09:10,615
Well, Cameron's
operating system
161
00:09:10,617 --> 00:09:12,050
is unlike
anything else
on the market.
162
00:09:12,052 --> 00:09:14,119
Cameron?
163
00:09:14,121 --> 00:09:18,557
Uh, yeah,
it's interactive.
164
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,825
Um, I can just
show it to you.
165
00:09:20,827 --> 00:09:22,627
You're barking up
the wrong tree.
166
00:09:22,629 --> 00:09:26,131
No, you want this
machine to stand out
167
00:09:26,133 --> 00:09:29,000
from every other machine
on the floor, you gotta stop
talking about the machine
168
00:09:29,002 --> 00:09:31,903
and you gotta start
talking about the people
that made it.
169
00:09:31,905 --> 00:09:34,039
They bled for this.
170
00:09:34,041 --> 00:09:35,774
The future's coming
whether we like it or not,
171
00:09:35,776 --> 00:09:38,610
but it ain't written anywhere
that it includes any of us.
172
00:09:38,612 --> 00:09:41,746
And getting there ain't free.
There's a cost.
173
00:09:41,748 --> 00:09:44,316
People who put up the money,
they like to take the credit,
174
00:09:44,318 --> 00:09:47,619
but the credit belongs
to them that built it.
175
00:09:52,124 --> 00:09:54,292
This machine
is the future.
176
00:09:55,962 --> 00:09:58,630
Make them see that.
177
00:09:59,932 --> 00:10:01,900
( inhales deeply )
178
00:10:10,242 --> 00:10:12,077
John Bosworth,
you're under arrest.
179
00:10:12,079 --> 00:10:14,679
Can we do this
outside?
180
00:10:14,681 --> 00:10:16,815
- We're gonna
do this right here.
- What the hell's going on?
181
00:10:16,817 --> 00:10:18,249
- Sit down, sir.
- Make sure no one
touches these computers.
182
00:10:18,251 --> 00:10:20,719
Everyone, please be calm
and stay where you are.
183
00:10:20,721 --> 00:10:22,821
We're gonna be shutting
this company down.
184
00:10:22,823 --> 00:10:24,356
Once we have
what we need,
185
00:10:24,358 --> 00:10:26,224
you'll be searched
and cleared to leave.
186
00:10:26,226 --> 00:10:28,693
No company property
will be allowed
to leave the premises.
187
00:10:28,695 --> 00:10:30,095
For now,
just sit tight.
188
00:10:30,097 --> 00:10:32,230
We'll have you outta here
as soon as possible.
189
00:10:32,232 --> 00:10:35,000
Step back from
your keyboards, folks.
190
00:10:35,002 --> 00:10:37,135
Stop typing, please.
191
00:10:47,346 --> 00:10:49,414
Man:
Stay where you are.
Heads up.
192
00:11:06,132 --> 00:11:08,133
( lock clicks )
193
00:11:17,209 --> 00:11:19,110
They think
John did it?
194
00:11:19,112 --> 00:11:22,180
Go try that door
over there.
195
00:11:22,182 --> 00:11:24,382
( knocking )
196
00:11:26,452 --> 00:11:29,187
( clicking, banging )
197
00:11:31,323 --> 00:11:33,825
- Ow. Ah--!
- Do you have a key
to this room?
198
00:11:33,827 --> 00:11:36,127
- Yes.
- ( knocking on door )
199
00:11:38,464 --> 00:11:41,700
( knocking continues )
200
00:11:41,702 --> 00:11:43,735
Come on.
201
00:11:58,317 --> 00:12:01,286
Sir, take your personal
belongings and get out.
202
00:12:01,288 --> 00:12:05,090
- But I--
- Now.
203
00:12:05,092 --> 00:12:07,258
Agent:
Get that out of here.
204
00:12:11,397 --> 00:12:14,766
( typewriter keys
clicking )
205
00:12:14,768 --> 00:12:17,302
He's not in.
I'll tell him
you stopped by.
206
00:12:17,304 --> 00:12:19,137
Oh, no, thank you.
That's fine.
207
00:12:19,139 --> 00:12:21,473
I'll just--
I'll catch up
with him later.
208
00:12:21,475 --> 00:12:25,410
Oh, as long as you're here,
I need you to sign
his goodbye card.
209
00:12:25,412 --> 00:12:27,312
Goodbye card?
210
00:12:27,314 --> 00:12:30,849
You didn't hear?
You two seemed so close.
211
00:12:33,185 --> 00:12:36,988
- Was he--
was he transferred?
- Resigned.
212
00:12:36,990 --> 00:12:39,390
Would've been nice
to have a little notice.
213
00:12:43,295 --> 00:12:46,397
Did he say
where he was going?
Is he leaving Dallas?
214
00:12:46,399 --> 00:12:48,533
He didn't say
and I didn't ask.
215
00:12:48,535 --> 00:12:52,437
( clicking resumes )
216
00:12:52,439 --> 00:12:55,807
( voices overlapping )
217
00:13:00,146 --> 00:13:02,547
- Do you know anything?
- Let's go back to your place,
figure it out.
218
00:13:02,549 --> 00:13:04,282
All right,
I'll see you there.
219
00:13:16,295 --> 00:13:19,397
They're looking for evidence
of hacking, computer crime.
220
00:13:19,399 --> 00:13:22,867
Bosworth couldn't do that.
He knows maybe three people
who could.
221
00:13:22,869 --> 00:13:25,804
Are you
a part of this?
222
00:13:25,806 --> 00:13:28,273
Bosworth
came to me, okay?
223
00:13:28,275 --> 00:13:30,842
He asked if I knew
about the 414s,
about hacking.
224
00:13:30,844 --> 00:13:32,944
It was so easy.
225
00:13:32,946 --> 00:13:35,246
They were practically--
like, the bank has no
security whatsoever.
226
00:13:35,248 --> 00:13:37,382
- ( scoffs )
- I'm sorry.
227
00:13:37,384 --> 00:13:39,484
We were gonna
put all the money back
in Cardiff's account
228
00:13:39,486 --> 00:13:41,820
as soon as we
made some sales and we
came back from COMDEX.
229
00:13:41,822 --> 00:13:43,521
I mean, we thought
he'd never notice.
230
00:13:43,523 --> 00:13:45,490
Everybody out.
231
00:13:45,492 --> 00:13:47,258
Gordon:
It's all a misunderstanding.
232
00:13:47,260 --> 00:13:48,993
Joe:
It's not
a misunderstanding.
233
00:13:48,995 --> 00:13:50,862
We'll be laughing
about this in 24 hours.
234
00:13:50,864 --> 00:13:52,931
Gordon,
you're wrong.
235
00:13:54,533 --> 00:13:58,870
- ( sighs )
- What's going on?
236
00:13:58,872 --> 00:14:01,873
- Did you know about this?
- I didn't know anything
about this.
237
00:14:01,875 --> 00:14:03,241
Yes, you did.
You were involved.
238
00:14:03,243 --> 00:14:05,844
- I was not involved.
- Yes, you were.
239
00:14:05,846 --> 00:14:08,246
- You were involved
from the--
- I did it.
240
00:14:09,315 --> 00:14:11,149
I was trying
to save the company.
241
00:14:11,151 --> 00:14:13,251
We were completely
out of money.
242
00:14:13,253 --> 00:14:14,886
You two are perfect
for each other.
243
00:14:14,888 --> 00:14:16,487
- You're both psychotic.
- If I hadn't done this,
244
00:14:16,489 --> 00:14:18,223
we would've been
shut down weeks ago.
245
00:14:18,225 --> 00:14:19,991
All your work
would've been shelved.
246
00:14:19,993 --> 00:14:23,194
Don't act like
you threw a bake sale.
You robbed a bank.
247
00:14:23,196 --> 00:14:25,430
It was
Cardiff's money.
248
00:14:25,432 --> 00:14:26,965
Once we sold
the computer,
249
00:14:26,967 --> 00:14:28,633
we would've made it
back and then some.
250
00:14:28,635 --> 00:14:31,202
You should've come to me.
We could've made a plan.
251
00:14:31,204 --> 00:14:33,238
Now all of our careers
are in jeopardy.
252
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:36,441
Your careers?
I could be going to jail.
253
00:14:36,443 --> 00:14:39,577
Oh, my God, you two.
I'm so stupid.
God, I'm stupid.
254
00:14:39,579 --> 00:14:42,347
Stop including me in this.
I'm just as upset as you are.
255
00:14:42,349 --> 00:14:44,449
No, you're gonna come out
on top of this somehow.
256
00:14:44,451 --> 00:14:47,352
Every time something terrible
happens, you seem to benefit.
257
00:14:47,354 --> 00:14:49,320
IBM finding out
we reverse engineered
their PC,
258
00:14:49,322 --> 00:14:51,389
Cameron losing her work
on the BIOS.
259
00:14:51,391 --> 00:14:53,491
- What?
- Oh, yeah.
260
00:14:53,493 --> 00:14:56,527
He crashed it
for publicity and
let you twist in the wind.
261
00:14:56,529 --> 00:14:59,564
Did he fail
to mention that to you
during pillow talk?
262
00:14:59,566 --> 00:15:01,933
Is that true?
263
00:15:01,935 --> 00:15:04,335
I'll bet you're the one
that turned Boz in.
264
00:15:04,337 --> 00:15:07,205
- Now you're top dog.
- Joe, answer me.
265
00:15:07,207 --> 00:15:11,342
Yes, I did it.
For publicity, which we got.
266
00:15:11,344 --> 00:15:13,912
I'm sorry you had a bad day
for the sake of our project.
267
00:15:13,914 --> 00:15:17,348
- "A bad day"?
- Are you really in a place
to cast judgment right now?
268
00:15:17,350 --> 00:15:19,417
And why the hell
are you attacking me, Gordon?
269
00:15:19,419 --> 00:15:21,486
- She stole the money!
- I put my life into that box.
270
00:15:21,488 --> 00:15:23,621
- Like I didn't?
- You gave it a name
and a handle.
271
00:15:23,623 --> 00:15:25,423
You didn't build
a damn thing.
272
00:15:25,425 --> 00:15:27,425
He's right.
You only destroy things.
273
00:15:27,427 --> 00:15:29,394
You've never
created anything.
274
00:15:29,396 --> 00:15:31,362
I created both of you.
275
00:15:34,366 --> 00:15:37,435
( garage door whirring )
276
00:15:42,007 --> 00:15:45,343
So, it's over?
Everything?
277
00:15:45,345 --> 00:15:47,979
We're back to--
278
00:15:47,981 --> 00:15:49,614
we're back
to where we started?
279
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:52,350
Oh, my God, I--
280
00:15:52,352 --> 00:15:54,652
I can't believe
this is happening again.
281
00:15:54,654 --> 00:15:58,022
Any openings at TI?
282
00:15:58,024 --> 00:16:01,125
Donna,
what do I do?
283
00:16:01,127 --> 00:16:04,362
Gordon, I'm sorry.
I-- I just--
284
00:16:04,364 --> 00:16:06,397
I can't deal
with this right now.
285
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:08,266
Donna...?
286
00:16:08,268 --> 00:16:10,268
I'm sorry,
I have a meeting.
287
00:16:10,270 --> 00:16:12,470
- Donna?
- ( handset clicks )
288
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:14,739
- ( sighs )
- ( line hums )
289
00:16:19,411 --> 00:16:21,112
- "Face To Face
With It" playing
- ( Ping-Pong balls bouncing )
290
00:16:21,114 --> 00:16:23,381
I might end up crashing
on my parents' couch again.
291
00:16:23,383 --> 00:16:25,683
I heard he took the money
to pay off gambling debts.
292
00:16:25,685 --> 00:16:27,485
Horse racing.
He's an addict.
293
00:16:27,487 --> 00:16:29,687
Jail should be
a good place to
work on that.
294
00:16:29,689 --> 00:16:31,622
That's why you don't hire
some ancient good old boy
295
00:16:31,624 --> 00:16:33,324
to run your
computer business.
296
00:16:33,326 --> 00:16:35,426
Yo-Yo:
I bet they send him
away for a while.
297
00:16:35,428 --> 00:16:36,694
Coder:
At least he knows where
his meals are coming from
298
00:16:36,696 --> 00:16:38,296
for the next 10 years.
299
00:16:38,298 --> 00:16:40,164
Lev:
You ever talk
to him about code?
300
00:16:40,166 --> 00:16:43,301
- He's like a caveman.
- Yo-Yo: He's a scumbag.
301
00:16:55,647 --> 00:16:59,617
( line ringing )
302
00:16:59,619 --> 00:17:01,753
- Man on phone: Hello?
- Joe MacMillan,
Cardiff Electric.
303
00:17:01,755 --> 00:17:03,554
- How you doing, Jim?
- Oh, hey, Joe.
304
00:17:03,556 --> 00:17:05,790
We gonna see you
out in Vegas this year?
305
00:17:05,792 --> 00:17:07,592
That's just what
I'm calling you about.
306
00:17:07,594 --> 00:17:09,594
I wanted to give you
an opportunity to get in early.
307
00:17:09,596 --> 00:17:13,464
A small order now,
before COMDEX, before
the prices skyrocket.
308
00:17:13,466 --> 00:17:16,267
Ah, I think we're
gonna stick with IBM.
309
00:17:16,269 --> 00:17:17,735
But IBM doesn't
make a portable.
310
00:17:17,737 --> 00:17:20,271
Well, not one
they've announced yet.
311
00:17:22,341 --> 00:17:24,142
Where did you hear
this rumor?
312
00:17:24,144 --> 00:17:26,077
I don't know.
Everybody's talking about it.
313
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:29,180
- Is there a release date?
- I hear early next year.
314
00:17:29,182 --> 00:17:31,315
- Thank you, Jim.
- Sure. You bet.
315
00:17:48,567 --> 00:17:50,068
- ( cracks )
- ( grunts )
316
00:17:50,070 --> 00:17:52,103
( clatters )
317
00:17:53,539 --> 00:17:56,074
I finally
got them down.
318
00:17:56,076 --> 00:17:58,109
Why don't you
go to sleep,
sweetheart?
319
00:17:58,111 --> 00:18:00,311
You look terrible.
320
00:18:00,313 --> 00:18:03,314
No, I want to wait
until Gordon gets home.
321
00:18:03,316 --> 00:18:06,184
- Has he called yet?
- No.
322
00:18:07,719 --> 00:18:10,154
This kinda thing been
happening a lot since--
323
00:18:10,156 --> 00:18:12,256
Since he dug a hole
in our back yard?
324
00:18:12,258 --> 00:18:15,259
Mom, this kind of thing
has been happening since
the day we met.
325
00:18:15,261 --> 00:18:18,162
I'm just asking,
sweetheart.
326
00:18:18,164 --> 00:18:19,497
Work okay, at least?
327
00:18:24,169 --> 00:18:25,837
Hunt is leaving TI.
328
00:18:25,839 --> 00:18:27,672
Oh, my goodness.
What happened?
329
00:18:27,674 --> 00:18:30,675
- Did he get fired?
- No, he resigned.
330
00:18:30,677 --> 00:18:32,543
- No notice.
- Well, they love him
over there.
331
00:18:32,545 --> 00:18:35,279
Why on earth
would he do a thing
like that?
332
00:18:39,718 --> 00:18:42,653
Mom, I think
I made a mistake.
333
00:18:45,357 --> 00:18:47,291
When we were
in Lubbock...
334
00:18:47,293 --> 00:18:50,361
Something like this
was bound to happen.
335
00:18:50,363 --> 00:18:52,330
Mom, I didn't
sleep with him.
336
00:18:52,332 --> 00:18:55,233
Then what are we
really talking about
here, honey?
337
00:18:55,235 --> 00:18:57,301
I don't know.
I don't know. I just--
338
00:18:57,303 --> 00:19:00,705
I thought-- I thought
he wasn't interested,
339
00:19:00,707 --> 00:19:03,674
but then he was
here last night,
outside the house.
340
00:19:03,676 --> 00:19:06,310
- And?
- Well, nothing, really.
341
00:19:06,312 --> 00:19:08,179
He got all
flustered and left,
342
00:19:08,181 --> 00:19:11,182
and I think he'd been
out there for a while.
343
00:19:11,184 --> 00:19:13,317
Does Gordon know?
344
00:19:15,354 --> 00:19:17,655
Mom, what am I
gonna do?
345
00:19:17,657 --> 00:19:19,857
Your daddy
and I love you,
346
00:19:19,859 --> 00:19:22,693
and we love Gordon
because you love him,
347
00:19:22,695 --> 00:19:25,796
but here you are,
miserable,
348
00:19:25,798 --> 00:19:28,599
continuing to hold up
this entire household
349
00:19:28,601 --> 00:19:31,302
while he's off
God knows where.
350
00:19:31,304 --> 00:19:33,437
We will continue
to support you
351
00:19:33,439 --> 00:19:35,439
and help you
any way we can,
352
00:19:35,441 --> 00:19:37,608
and we'll do so
gladly until we die.
353
00:19:37,610 --> 00:19:40,211
But, Donna, you need
to think long and hard
354
00:19:40,213 --> 00:19:43,648
about why we keep
ending up back here.
355
00:19:43,650 --> 00:19:45,716
And you need
to figure out
what is best
356
00:19:45,718 --> 00:19:49,420
for you and for
your children.
357
00:19:50,322 --> 00:19:52,823
( crickets chirping )
358
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,794
( engine starts )
359
00:20:31,730 --> 00:20:32,897
( tires screech )
360
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:44,508
( sighs )
361
00:20:55,821 --> 00:20:57,021
What are you
doing?
362
00:20:57,023 --> 00:20:58,889
Hey, honey.
363
00:21:04,930 --> 00:21:06,564
Is that
the Giant?
364
00:21:06,566 --> 00:21:10,034
Yeah, and I also got milk.
I noticed that we were out.
365
00:21:10,036 --> 00:21:13,037
Gordon,
did you steal that?
Isn't that evidence?
366
00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:17,775
No, no, no.
If it was evidence,
they would've seized it.
367
00:21:17,777 --> 00:21:20,478
Gordon, this is not good.
I don't know what
you're thinking, but--
368
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,347
Donna, I need you
to stop looking at me
and thinking,
369
00:21:23,349 --> 00:21:25,983
"Here we go again.
It's the Symphonic
all over again."
370
00:21:25,985 --> 00:21:28,286
- 'Cause it's not, okay?
- Gordon--
371
00:21:28,288 --> 00:21:31,822
Look, Donna, it's not.
I promise.
372
00:21:31,824 --> 00:21:35,926
Look, this--
this right here,
this is shit.
373
00:21:35,928 --> 00:21:37,595
( bangs )
374
00:21:37,597 --> 00:21:39,063
Okay, you were right
to pull the plug.
375
00:21:39,065 --> 00:21:41,732
You were right
to tell your dad
to stop giving us money.
376
00:21:41,734 --> 00:21:44,568
You knew?
How long did you know--
377
00:21:44,570 --> 00:21:46,337
Hey, hey, hey.
Look, I was angry
378
00:21:46,339 --> 00:21:48,839
for a long time,
but I'm not anymore.
379
00:21:48,841 --> 00:21:51,342
You were right.
Okay?
380
00:21:51,344 --> 00:21:54,879
Are you worried about me?
Is that what this is?
381
00:21:54,881 --> 00:21:57,481
Let me do the worrying
this time, okay?
382
00:21:57,483 --> 00:22:00,351
I got this.
I have a plan, all right?
383
00:22:00,353 --> 00:22:01,752
I'm gonna find
Cameron and Joe
384
00:22:01,754 --> 00:22:03,387
and we're gonna
do this together, okay?
385
00:22:03,389 --> 00:22:05,790
I need them.
I can't do this
on my own.
386
00:22:05,792 --> 00:22:07,625
You can't do what
on your own?
387
00:22:07,627 --> 00:22:10,061
Go to COMDEX.
I'm gonna go to COMDEX
388
00:22:10,063 --> 00:22:12,330
and sell the Giant,
just like we'd always
planned.
389
00:22:12,332 --> 00:22:13,597
Damn Nathan Cardiff.
390
00:22:13,599 --> 00:22:15,633
That's crazy.
That's insane.
391
00:22:15,635 --> 00:22:19,403
I love you,
but Cameron is some sort
of wanted criminal now.
392
00:22:19,405 --> 00:22:21,038
- And who knows where--
- I know it's crazy.
393
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,840
I know, but you're
crazy, too.
394
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:25,676
No, no, you forget that,
but you are.
395
00:22:25,678 --> 00:22:27,678
We were both crazy
and then all of a sudden,
396
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,348
you decided you needed
to be the sane one.
397
00:22:30,350 --> 00:22:33,551
- Yes, because--
- That you needed to take care
of me, but you don't.
398
00:22:33,553 --> 00:22:36,120
Look, be crazy
with me.
399
00:22:36,122 --> 00:22:38,756
I need you to be
behind me, Donna.
400
00:22:38,758 --> 00:22:41,058
I need you
to support me
on this.
401
00:22:41,060 --> 00:22:45,096
I am behind you, Gordon.
You know that I'm here for you.
402
00:22:45,098 --> 00:22:47,665
Thank you.
403
00:22:47,667 --> 00:22:50,968
Listen, the coders think that
Cameron went down to Austin.
404
00:22:50,970 --> 00:22:52,803
If I leave now,
I can make it there
by morning.
405
00:22:52,805 --> 00:22:56,607
Then Joe, then back here
to pack, then COMDEX.
406
00:22:56,609 --> 00:22:58,609
I'm gonna sell
a computer.
407
00:22:58,611 --> 00:23:01,145
My own computer,
just like I always said
I was.
408
00:23:01,147 --> 00:23:03,547
I can promise you
that.
409
00:23:03,549 --> 00:23:05,015
( garage door whirring )
410
00:23:05,017 --> 00:23:06,550
I love you.
411
00:23:15,927 --> 00:23:19,397
( keypad beeping )
412
00:23:19,399 --> 00:23:22,600
( line rings )
413
00:23:22,602 --> 00:23:25,436
- Hello?
- Mom, it's me.
414
00:23:25,438 --> 00:23:26,904
Sweetheart,
what's wrong?
415
00:23:26,906 --> 00:23:28,839
Is everything okay?
416
00:23:32,411 --> 00:23:35,613
The girls and I
need to come and stay
with you for a while.
417
00:23:35,615 --> 00:23:39,083
Okay. Have you talked
to Gordon about this?
418
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,188
Can you just come
pick them up first thing
in the morning?
419
00:23:44,190 --> 00:23:45,890
I'm gonna talk to Gordon
when he gets home
420
00:23:45,892 --> 00:23:48,192
and I don't want them
to be here when I do.
421
00:23:52,431 --> 00:23:54,932
( game beeping )
422
00:23:57,702 --> 00:23:59,970
I got next game.
423
00:23:59,972 --> 00:24:02,440
"What Do You Got
Against Love" playing
424
00:24:02,442 --> 00:24:03,774
God, I would've
paid money
425
00:24:03,776 --> 00:24:06,143
to see you break into
Cardiff Electric.
426
00:24:06,145 --> 00:24:08,212
Does Joe know
it's in your garage?
427
00:24:08,214 --> 00:24:10,614
No, I came
to you first.
428
00:24:10,616 --> 00:24:13,083
Look, I know that we've
had less than an ideal
working relationship,
429
00:24:13,085 --> 00:24:15,453
and I'll take some
of the flak on that.
430
00:24:15,455 --> 00:24:17,121
Yeah, and you've been
kind of a dick to me
outside of work, too.
431
00:24:17,123 --> 00:24:20,124
Well, let's
focus on what we do
have in common.
432
00:24:20,126 --> 00:24:22,626
What if we
take the Giant
to COMDEX anyway?
433
00:24:22,628 --> 00:24:25,029
You know? And orders
start coming in?
434
00:24:25,031 --> 00:24:27,231
I mean, Cardiff
won't turn down
that kind of money.
435
00:24:27,233 --> 00:24:28,899
He'll be forced
to reopen the department.
436
00:24:28,901 --> 00:24:30,601
Why do you even care
if I come?
437
00:24:30,603 --> 00:24:33,671
Because you
are responsible
for half the machine.
438
00:24:33,673 --> 00:24:36,173
We're the talent,
not Joe.
439
00:24:38,477 --> 00:24:41,912
No, I'm in
enough trouble
as it is.
440
00:24:41,914 --> 00:24:45,983
Okay, okay.
Well, it was
worth a shot.
441
00:24:45,985 --> 00:24:48,719
And I want you to know
that even though that we've
had our differences
442
00:24:48,721 --> 00:24:52,723
and I'm not entirely clear
on what the function of
your special OS is,
443
00:24:52,725 --> 00:24:54,892
I'll try and do it
justice at the demo.
444
00:24:54,894 --> 00:24:56,627
I know what you're doing.
It's not gonna work.
445
00:24:56,629 --> 00:24:58,128
Okay, well, let me
make sure I got it.
446
00:24:58,130 --> 00:25:00,898
It's better than MS-DOS
because it does things
447
00:25:00,900 --> 00:25:02,500
like ask you
how your day is going
448
00:25:02,502 --> 00:25:04,168
and corrects you
if you make
a command wrong.
449
00:25:04,170 --> 00:25:06,170
( snaps fingers )
Oh, wait, no,
I know what I'll say.
450
00:25:06,172 --> 00:25:10,241
It's like having
your mother inside
your computer.
451
00:25:10,243 --> 00:25:12,843
How's that?
452
00:25:14,613 --> 00:25:16,247
( thumps )
453
00:25:16,249 --> 00:25:18,749
Come on, Joe.
We know you're in there.
454
00:25:18,751 --> 00:25:20,251
Open up.
455
00:25:20,253 --> 00:25:22,553
( rings doorbell )
456
00:25:22,555 --> 00:25:24,088
He's probably hiding.
457
00:25:24,090 --> 00:25:26,924
Well, what should
we do now?
458
00:25:26,926 --> 00:25:28,559
Take this as a sign
we shouldn't be involved.
459
00:25:28,561 --> 00:25:30,194
Wait, wait, come on.
460
00:25:30,196 --> 00:25:32,296
Do you have 30 grand on you?
'Cause I sure as hell don't,
461
00:25:32,298 --> 00:25:33,931
and right about now
the checks for our booth,
462
00:25:33,933 --> 00:25:36,300
our suite, and our trip
have just bounced.
463
00:25:36,302 --> 00:25:39,303
And if we're really
being honest with each other,
he's not a bad talker.
464
00:25:40,605 --> 00:25:42,773
You have a key.
465
00:25:44,743 --> 00:25:48,946
Shit, he cleared out.
He's gone.
466
00:25:48,948 --> 00:25:52,216
He's not gone,
this is just
how he lives.
467
00:25:52,218 --> 00:25:54,184
On purpose?
468
00:25:55,554 --> 00:25:59,723
God, I know nothing
about this guy.
469
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,994
Other than
he likes glass.
470
00:26:03,996 --> 00:26:06,830
I'm gonna call Donna.
I don't want her to worry.
471
00:26:09,701 --> 00:26:11,735
( phone keys clicking )
472
00:26:14,139 --> 00:26:17,241
( phone ringing )
473
00:26:17,243 --> 00:26:19,310
( sighs )
474
00:26:24,249 --> 00:26:26,817
( ringing continues )
475
00:26:40,332 --> 00:26:43,701
- ( whirring )
- ( ringing continues )
476
00:26:47,272 --> 00:26:49,106
( beeps )
477
00:26:53,612 --> 00:26:56,013
( keys clicking )
478
00:27:02,687 --> 00:27:04,755
( keys clicking )
479
00:27:24,142 --> 00:27:26,343
( chuckles )
480
00:28:08,286 --> 00:28:10,220
Gordon:
I don't remember.
It's been--
481
00:28:10,222 --> 00:28:12,956
Cameron:
Oh, come on.
I wanna hear about it.
482
00:28:12,958 --> 00:28:15,359
Honestly,
I don't even remember.
483
00:28:15,361 --> 00:28:16,827
I'll tell you
my first time.
484
00:28:16,829 --> 00:28:18,896
- Okay.
- Okay...
485
00:28:18,898 --> 00:28:21,699
it was, um,
the Apple II.
486
00:28:21,701 --> 00:28:23,867
Oh, God, jeez.
I feel so old.
487
00:28:23,869 --> 00:28:25,703
- I'm good.
- All right.
488
00:28:25,705 --> 00:28:29,373
Uh, my mom's new boyfriend
got it for me for Christmas.
489
00:28:29,375 --> 00:28:32,443
Some pathetic attempt
at winning me over.
490
00:28:34,112 --> 00:28:36,847
But by New Year's
I had disassembled it
491
00:28:36,849 --> 00:28:38,849
and reassembled it
four times.
492
00:28:38,851 --> 00:28:43,153
How long did it take you
to disassemble your mom's
new boyfriend?
493
00:28:43,155 --> 00:28:45,222
He hung in there
till Easter.
494
00:28:45,224 --> 00:28:47,224
( both laugh )
495
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,729
You never really
mention your family.
496
00:28:51,731 --> 00:28:53,964
There's not
much to say.
497
00:28:56,267 --> 00:28:58,736
Okay.
498
00:28:58,738 --> 00:29:01,505
Well, it was a few weeks
before Christmas
499
00:29:01,507 --> 00:29:04,875
and I saw the Altair
on the cover of
"Popular Electronics"
500
00:29:04,877 --> 00:29:06,510
and I just
had to get the kit.
501
00:29:06,512 --> 00:29:09,246
But I was in school
and up to my ears
in student loans,
502
00:29:09,248 --> 00:29:11,415
and I'd just spent
my last nickel
503
00:29:11,417 --> 00:29:13,784
on getting
an engagement ring
for Donna,
504
00:29:13,786 --> 00:29:16,220
which cost serious money
I didn't have.
505
00:29:16,222 --> 00:29:19,423
Oh, let me guess.
A big diamond.
506
00:29:19,425 --> 00:29:23,293
Me and Donna used to
write each other these
little love notes,
507
00:29:23,295 --> 00:29:27,297
but they were encrypted.
We--
508
00:29:27,299 --> 00:29:29,833
we developed our own
polyalphabetic cipher...
509
00:29:29,835 --> 00:29:32,870
( chuckles )
Geeks.
510
00:29:32,872 --> 00:29:35,239
Anyways, I designed
the ring myself
511
00:29:35,241 --> 00:29:37,775
and I incorporated
the cipher into it,
512
00:29:37,777 --> 00:29:39,476
and the only way
to break our code
513
00:29:39,478 --> 00:29:41,411
was with Donna's
engagement ring.
514
00:29:41,413 --> 00:29:45,249
( laughs )
Wait, you proposed
to your wife
515
00:29:45,251 --> 00:29:46,550
with a decoder ring?
516
00:29:46,552 --> 00:29:48,886
- I know.
- Gordon, wow.
517
00:29:48,888 --> 00:29:51,488
I was 23, you know?
518
00:29:51,490 --> 00:29:55,192
Anyways, she likes puzzles,
and it was nice, you know?
519
00:29:55,194 --> 00:29:57,494
It was platinum
with sapphires and stuff.
520
00:29:57,496 --> 00:30:00,497
Anyways, I was gonna give it
to her over the holidays.
521
00:30:00,499 --> 00:30:02,900
Well, Christmas Day comes
522
00:30:02,902 --> 00:30:06,537
and I go to get the ring
and it's gone.
523
00:30:06,539 --> 00:30:08,372
You shoulda seen me.
524
00:30:08,374 --> 00:30:11,809
I mean, I tore that apartment
upside down looking for it.
525
00:30:11,811 --> 00:30:13,977
And Donna comes in
with my present
526
00:30:13,979 --> 00:30:15,813
and she's
yelling at me
527
00:30:15,815 --> 00:30:19,216
to stop ransacking
the apartment and open it.
528
00:30:19,218 --> 00:30:22,052
And there it was,
the Altair computer kit.
529
00:30:22,054 --> 00:30:24,988
And I knew she hadn't borrowed
the money from her parents
530
00:30:24,990 --> 00:30:27,925
because she hadn't even
told them about me yet.
531
00:30:27,927 --> 00:30:31,228
Would you believe
532
00:30:31,230 --> 00:30:33,597
that she found
the engagement ring
533
00:30:33,599 --> 00:30:36,500
and pawned it
to get me the Altair?
534
00:30:36,502 --> 00:30:39,469
- Aw.
- And she said to me,
535
00:30:39,471 --> 00:30:43,040
"You can buy me a ring
once we've sold our first PC."
536
00:30:44,509 --> 00:30:46,476
Yeah.
537
00:30:46,478 --> 00:30:49,847
It's hard to imagine
you and Donna ever
being my age.
538
00:30:49,849 --> 00:30:52,583
I got it for her.
539
00:30:52,585 --> 00:30:54,618
What,
the decoder ring?
540
00:30:54,620 --> 00:30:56,486
Yeah, last week.
541
00:30:56,488 --> 00:31:00,123
I knew we were
gonna nail it at COMDEX
and sell the Giant.
542
00:31:00,125 --> 00:31:02,092
So I had the same
jeweler in Berkeley
543
00:31:02,094 --> 00:31:04,962
make one up and send it
out to the office.
544
00:31:04,964 --> 00:31:07,998
It's hidden
in my garage right now.
545
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,968
I'm gonna give it to her
when I get back next week.
546
00:31:10,970 --> 00:31:14,371
Wow.
547
00:31:15,940 --> 00:31:19,543
I hope we sell
the Giant.
548
00:31:19,545 --> 00:31:22,179
We will.
549
00:31:24,949 --> 00:31:27,384
( door opens, closes )
550
00:31:30,054 --> 00:31:31,488
Jesus.
551
00:31:35,026 --> 00:31:36,927
What are you
doing here?
552
00:31:36,929 --> 00:31:40,564
I'm not gonna stay.
I just came to ask
you a question.
553
00:31:40,566 --> 00:31:43,166
You came all the way
to New York to ask me
a question?
554
00:31:43,168 --> 00:31:44,568
It's easier to tell
when you're lying
555
00:31:44,570 --> 00:31:46,203
when I'm looking
right at you.
556
00:31:48,573 --> 00:31:52,609
- Let's have it.
- Is IBM developing
a portable PC?
557
00:31:52,611 --> 00:31:54,912
We are.
558
00:31:54,914 --> 00:31:57,114
So you could crush
my machine?
559
00:31:57,116 --> 00:31:59,082
Crush me?
560
00:31:59,084 --> 00:32:01,451
I had nothing to do with it.
The team's down in Boca.
561
00:32:01,453 --> 00:32:03,153
For once, can you
tell me the truth?
562
00:32:03,155 --> 00:32:04,688
It may come
as a shock to you, Joe,
563
00:32:04,690 --> 00:32:07,190
but you're not
the center of the universe.
564
00:32:07,192 --> 00:32:09,927
Even if I knew you were
making a portable,
565
00:32:09,929 --> 00:32:11,328
you think I could
alter the course
566
00:32:11,330 --> 00:32:14,031
of the aircraft carrier
that is IBM,
567
00:32:14,033 --> 00:32:16,066
make them build one
just so I could hurt you?
568
00:32:16,068 --> 00:32:18,468
You're out
of your mind.
569
00:32:18,470 --> 00:32:20,070
If it makes you
feel better,
570
00:32:20,072 --> 00:32:22,239
we're at least a year
away from market.
571
00:32:26,077 --> 00:32:29,413
Now, if you wanted
to ask me about computers,
you could've called me,
572
00:32:29,415 --> 00:32:31,949
so why don't you have
a seat and let me know
why you're really here?
573
00:32:31,951 --> 00:32:34,651
- I got what I came for.
- Sit down!
574
00:32:43,027 --> 00:32:47,264
Now... let's
start again.
575
00:32:50,201 --> 00:32:53,036
You've been in Dallas
since April.
576
00:32:55,106 --> 00:32:57,474
Where were you
before that?
577
00:33:01,713 --> 00:33:03,547
After you deigned
to tell me the truth,
578
00:33:03,549 --> 00:33:06,550
I drove across the country
to figure out...
579
00:33:06,552 --> 00:33:09,686
am I her son
or your son?
580
00:33:12,323 --> 00:33:16,059
Even if she was dead,
she must've lived
581
00:33:16,061 --> 00:33:18,562
an entire life
after you sent her away.
582
00:33:20,131 --> 00:33:23,233
Places she'd been,
people who knew her.
583
00:33:23,235 --> 00:33:25,002
I talked
to everyone I could,
584
00:33:25,004 --> 00:33:27,671
trying to find
the part of her
that was me.
585
00:33:27,673 --> 00:33:31,074
Oh, Joe.
586
00:33:31,076 --> 00:33:34,044
Do I remind you
of her?
587
00:33:34,046 --> 00:33:36,513
Is that
why you hate me?
588
00:33:38,683 --> 00:33:40,517
I love you.
589
00:33:42,053 --> 00:33:45,222
And I loved
your mother.
590
00:33:45,224 --> 00:33:47,691
You let me think
she abandoned me
591
00:33:47,693 --> 00:33:49,559
and then told me
she was dead
592
00:33:49,561 --> 00:33:51,795
23 years
before she was.
593
00:33:51,797 --> 00:33:53,230
I'm not going
over this again.
594
00:33:53,232 --> 00:33:56,099
I sent her away because
she almost killed you.
595
00:33:56,101 --> 00:33:59,369
And, yes, yes,
I lied to protect you.
596
00:33:59,371 --> 00:34:01,304
She let you fall,
for heaven's sake!
597
00:34:01,306 --> 00:34:03,073
At least she
took me up there.
598
00:34:03,075 --> 00:34:04,741
Because she was high.
599
00:34:04,743 --> 00:34:07,310
She wanted me
to be a dreamer.
600
00:34:07,312 --> 00:34:09,780
Your mother
wasn't a dreamer.
601
00:34:09,782 --> 00:34:13,316
She was lost.
602
00:34:13,318 --> 00:34:16,720
A real dreamer,
someone that matters,
603
00:34:16,722 --> 00:34:19,756
makes something
out of nothing.
604
00:34:21,292 --> 00:34:25,195
And that only happens
with hard work.
605
00:34:27,532 --> 00:34:29,833
You understand that.
606
00:34:29,835 --> 00:34:32,135
You always have.
607
00:34:33,805 --> 00:34:36,106
You're more like me
in that regard,
608
00:34:36,108 --> 00:34:38,575
and thank God.
609
00:34:46,317 --> 00:34:48,685
Now, if you move back,
I'll find a place for you.
610
00:34:48,687 --> 00:34:51,755
You'll be back
on track soon enough.
611
00:34:51,757 --> 00:34:53,590
At IBM?
612
00:34:55,626 --> 00:34:57,761
People have
short memories.
613
00:34:57,763 --> 00:34:59,863
Not me.
614
00:35:03,634 --> 00:35:06,736
Joe, you and I
both know
615
00:35:06,738 --> 00:35:10,607
you have to come back
down to earth eventually.
616
00:35:12,143 --> 00:35:14,244
You're here now.
617
00:35:15,179 --> 00:35:17,614
The hard part's over.
618
00:35:21,385 --> 00:35:24,821
I need to be the primary
on the portable.
619
00:35:24,823 --> 00:35:26,623
Run the whole thing.
620
00:35:30,695 --> 00:35:34,364
That's what you want,
I'll figure it out.
621
00:35:41,706 --> 00:35:43,707
I'm glad
you're back, son.
622
00:35:50,581 --> 00:35:52,649
( door lock clicks )
623
00:35:57,688 --> 00:35:59,523
What are you
doing here?
624
00:35:59,525 --> 00:36:01,625
We came to look
for you last night.
625
00:36:03,694 --> 00:36:05,362
Did you sleep
in my bed?
626
00:36:05,364 --> 00:36:07,230
Yeah, you know,
you should really
get a couch.
627
00:36:07,232 --> 00:36:08,632
You know,
me and Donna have--
628
00:36:08,634 --> 00:36:10,634
Stop, I just came here
to get my things.
629
00:36:11,736 --> 00:36:13,203
You're leaving?
630
00:36:13,205 --> 00:36:15,805
I'm going back to IBM
631
00:36:15,807 --> 00:36:18,608
to build a portable PC
that will actually see
the light of day.
632
00:36:18,610 --> 00:36:20,944
- Are you kidding me?
- It's what I should've
done from the start.
633
00:36:20,946 --> 00:36:24,414
You go back to IBM,
you go back on everything
you stand for.
634
00:36:24,416 --> 00:36:26,216
That'll be you
failing us.
635
00:36:26,218 --> 00:36:28,785
- I just told you I was wrong.
- ( Gordon laughs )
636
00:36:28,787 --> 00:36:31,821
I finally get it.
I finally get how
you operate.
637
00:36:31,823 --> 00:36:34,224
- Great, get out
of my apartment.
- Gordon: No, no.
638
00:36:34,226 --> 00:36:36,293
Throughout this whole thing,
you needed to be in control,
make every decision.
639
00:36:36,295 --> 00:36:38,428
You have everybody
at the company bow
to your will.
640
00:36:38,430 --> 00:36:41,631
But when you're finally faced
with a real opportunity
641
00:36:41,633 --> 00:36:44,367
to be a visionary
and lead in a battle
that's worth fighting for,
642
00:36:44,369 --> 00:36:45,969
you're just
gonna move on.
643
00:36:45,971 --> 00:36:48,438
You know, you can spin
a good word, Joe,
644
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:49,706
even though you're
not an engineer
645
00:36:49,708 --> 00:36:51,374
and you are certainly
no visionary,
646
00:36:51,376 --> 00:36:52,943
but I never thought
you were a coward.
647
00:36:52,945 --> 00:36:55,512
And you never know
when to shut your mouth!
648
00:36:56,847 --> 00:36:58,582
Gotcha.
649
00:36:58,584 --> 00:37:00,617
Bring that fire
to COMDEX and we'll kill.
650
00:37:00,619 --> 00:37:03,653
- COMDEX?
- Think about it.
651
00:37:03,655 --> 00:37:06,957
How many companies
had their CEO hauled off
in handcuffs last week?
652
00:37:06,959 --> 00:37:09,459
There's over a thousand
exhibitors there.
653
00:37:09,461 --> 00:37:12,429
It's nearly impossible
to stand out in all
that noise,
654
00:37:12,431 --> 00:37:15,699
but people will be lining up
to see the train wreck
that is Cardiff Electric,
655
00:37:15,701 --> 00:37:18,868
and when they do,
we blow them away.
656
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:24,808
But we don't have
the Giant.
657
00:37:24,810 --> 00:37:27,877
I stole it, took it.
I got it back.
658
00:37:27,879 --> 00:37:29,713
You--
659
00:37:31,882 --> 00:37:33,283
you stole it?
660
00:37:33,285 --> 00:37:35,685
You're crazy.
661
00:37:35,687 --> 00:37:37,354
You're damn right.
662
00:37:37,356 --> 00:37:39,789
Eight months ago,
I was a miserable
sales engineer
663
00:37:39,791 --> 00:37:41,491
whose favorite
part of the day
was clocking out.
664
00:37:41,493 --> 00:37:43,893
Yesterday, I broke into
a crime scene
665
00:37:43,895 --> 00:37:47,764
to steal
the state-of-the-art computer
that I helped create.
666
00:37:47,766 --> 00:37:51,001
Cameron, the brilliant
programmer, months away
from a college degree
667
00:37:51,003 --> 00:37:53,903
and a promising
career in software,
she dropped out,
668
00:37:53,905 --> 00:37:56,740
ended up hacking
into the computers
of a national bank.
669
00:37:56,742 --> 00:38:00,043
John Bosworth,
Texas good ol' boy,
670
00:38:00,045 --> 00:38:03,046
president of the
"I Hate Joe MacMillan"
fan club.
671
00:38:03,048 --> 00:38:06,750
John Bosworth hatched a plan
to embezzle thousands
and thousands of dollars
672
00:38:06,752 --> 00:38:07,917
just to keep
this project alive.
673
00:38:07,919 --> 00:38:10,387
You-- you made us
all crazy,
674
00:38:10,389 --> 00:38:13,657
so don't act like you
suddenly found sanity.
675
00:38:13,659 --> 00:38:16,826
We have the Giant.
It is ready to go.
676
00:38:16,828 --> 00:38:20,530
The only thing
we need is money.
677
00:38:20,532 --> 00:38:22,499
I'm sorry?
678
00:38:22,501 --> 00:38:26,369
We-- we-- we need--
you know...
679
00:38:26,371 --> 00:38:28,905
we need
your money, Joe.
680
00:38:28,907 --> 00:38:33,043
This is all I have.
681
00:38:33,045 --> 00:38:34,778
What?
682
00:38:34,780 --> 00:38:38,081
These clothes, that car,
that's all I have.
683
00:38:39,483 --> 00:38:41,351
I'm sorry, Gordon.
684
00:38:41,353 --> 00:38:44,087
I guess someone was
buying my act after all.
685
00:38:44,089 --> 00:38:47,991
How much
is the car worth?
686
00:38:58,936 --> 00:39:02,372
- Such a beautiful car.
- Let it go.
687
00:39:03,708 --> 00:39:06,776
Look, I'm telling you, Donna,
I'm on a roll.
688
00:39:06,778 --> 00:39:08,845
They're both on board.
689
00:39:08,847 --> 00:39:10,980
I got Joe
to sell his Porsche
690
00:39:10,982 --> 00:39:13,416
so now we've got
enough money for COMDEX.
691
00:39:15,119 --> 00:39:16,986
What's this?
692
00:39:25,830 --> 00:39:27,831
I'm going with you.
693
00:39:27,833 --> 00:39:30,433
You are?
694
00:39:30,435 --> 00:39:33,036
Oh, Donna.
What about the girls?
695
00:39:33,038 --> 00:39:36,005
They're at my parents'.
I guess I am crazy.
696
00:39:46,584 --> 00:39:48,017
Good news--
Donna's coming.
697
00:39:48,019 --> 00:39:50,887
Wonderful.
The more the merrier.
698
00:39:50,889 --> 00:39:53,156
We've gotta make
one last stop before we go.
699
00:39:55,159 --> 00:39:57,761
( raps )
700
00:40:00,498 --> 00:40:02,065
Get inside.
701
00:40:10,641 --> 00:40:12,675
Pretty stupid idea
you coming.
702
00:40:14,845 --> 00:40:16,913
Barry's
your lawyer?
703
00:40:16,915 --> 00:40:19,149
No.
704
00:40:19,151 --> 00:40:22,018
No.
705
00:40:22,020 --> 00:40:24,854
Barry does paperwork,
but he's my friend.
706
00:40:24,856 --> 00:40:27,924
Put up my bail before
I even thought to ask.
707
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,629
They're never
gonna believe
you did this alone.
708
00:40:32,631 --> 00:40:36,533
You don't have
the technical knowledge.
709
00:40:36,535 --> 00:40:39,002
Did you know
that damn bank
710
00:40:39,004 --> 00:40:41,905
was using a DEC-20
running TOPS
711
00:40:41,907 --> 00:40:43,940
for their dial-in
account management
timesharing system?
712
00:40:43,942 --> 00:40:46,709
I kid you not.
Turns out, if you
do it quick enough,
713
00:40:46,711 --> 00:40:48,578
before the exception
handlers are invoked,
714
00:40:48,580 --> 00:40:50,680
you can control-C
out of the user program
715
00:40:50,682 --> 00:40:52,949
and then you're
left sitting with
a terminal session
716
00:40:52,951 --> 00:40:54,951
on an account which has
some pretty interesting
privileges,
717
00:40:54,953 --> 00:40:57,921
including
running Kermit.
718
00:40:57,923 --> 00:40:59,522
( chuckles )
719
00:40:59,524 --> 00:41:01,658
Oh, I had
a good teacher.
720
00:41:04,462 --> 00:41:05,995
Now, why'd you come?
721
00:41:05,997 --> 00:41:09,499
- We're going to COMDEX.
- ( chuckles )
722
00:41:09,501 --> 00:41:12,168
No kidding.
How did you manage that?
723
00:41:12,170 --> 00:41:15,572
It's kind of
a rogue operation.
724
00:41:15,574 --> 00:41:17,774
Well, that's just
as it should be.
725
00:41:21,078 --> 00:41:24,214
I'll be all right.
726
00:41:24,216 --> 00:41:26,516
Oh, come on, now.
727
00:41:33,190 --> 00:41:36,025
Go to COMDEX.
728
00:41:36,027 --> 00:41:38,261
Knock 'em dead.
729
00:41:38,263 --> 00:41:40,697
Do that for me.
730
00:41:43,634 --> 00:41:46,035
Get the hell
outta here.
731
00:41:57,014 --> 00:41:59,148
"Red Eyes" playing
732
00:41:59,150 --> 00:42:01,584
( car engine starts )
733
00:42:06,991 --> 00:42:08,758
Donna:
All right,
everybody ready?
734
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,593
- Joe, Cameron: Yep.
- Gordon: We're good.
735
00:42:11,896 --> 00:42:14,531
We're off to Vegas,
COMDEX!
