Uh...

What my colleague is

trying to say is...

Where was your

last employment?

Intel.

So how much are we

talking about here?

What, the investment? That's

what you came here for.

Foreplay is not

Steve's strong suit.

Isn't it?

Yeah, well,

I've been looking for something

to really sink my teeth into.

Look, Steve. I'm willing

to take the risk.

And, this

certainly qualifies.

But risk disguised

as promise.

And you've shown promise.

I've seen it in your eye,

and I know that look

because I've had it myself.

Tells me you're

onto something big.

Yeah. Okay. To the point.

I think we should start

with around 90 grand,

see where that takes us.

Okay, I'm sorry.

Could you repeat that?

I'm sorry.

$90,000 isn't

gonna get it done.

Oh, whoa, whoa. Wait.

Steve, one second.

I don't see anybody else coming

in your garage with a checkbook.

Oh, no, no.

Ninety grand

gets it done for us.

I just don't think it

gets it done for you.

We'll do the

$90,000 investment.

At a $300,000 valuation.

But I also want you to kick

in a $250,000 credit line

with 10% interest to

be paid back in full

once we meet

net revenue positive.

0K3?'-

What I mean is, okay.

Yeah.

Now, the first thing

you need to do

is incorporate, so that you two as

owners can protect your interest.

And that is, of course,

if you'll have me aboard.

Thank you very much,

Mr. Markkula.

Of course. Mike. Yeah.

How're you doing'?

Yeah, put her there.

- Bill.

- Bill?

- Fernandez.

- Yeah.

Oh. Thanks, Mike.

Yeah.

Steve. Here's to you, pal.

Are you

even listening to me?

I'm pregnant.

Steve, you have

to talk to me.

This is your

responsibility, too.

Don't you dare

blame this on me.

I'm not.

Mmm-mmm.

We both had

our moments of...

What? What the hell

are you talking about?

You.

When I was in India,

you were with, you know.

Steve? Are you crazy? You

cannot put this all on me.

You can't do this to me

right now. Not now.

Well, I'm sorry this

isn't part of your plan.

I'm sorry you

have a problem.

But it's not

happening to me.

But this is your...

No!

Get out of my house.

What?

Now!

Oh, Jesus. Here we go.

Hey. ls everything

okay out here?

Steven, he's kicking me out.

He doesn't want

anything to do with me.

Maybe

it's for the best.

You don't deserve to be treated

the way he treats you.

I'm pregnant, Daniel.

What? You're.4.

He says it's not his,

but I would never...

What did I do wrong?

You didn't do

anything wrong.

It's Steve.

That's just him.

He changed.

Hook them right

to your television.

It is, yeah.

What do you think, J?

Ready?

Ladies and gentlemen,

my name is Steve Jobs.

When I founded

this company,

I had one goal in mind.

And that was to do what nobody

else considered possible.

To put the power

and the beauty

of the world's most

advanced technology

in the hands and homes of

people just like you and me.

And I can promise you

that after today,

you will never look at

computers the same way again.

So I am proud to introduce

to you, and the world,

the future of

personal computing.

The revolutionary Apple ll.

Gotta just start over.

It has to be intuitive.

Precognitive. I mean, I want

it to know what you want to do

before you even know

you want to do it.

Wait, are we still talking

about the command prompts?

Bill, we're talking about everything.

The whole thing.

Lisa. Guys, it's the future.

I'm telling you right now.

I mean, Lisa's

gonna do for the next 10 years

what the Apple ll

did for the last three.

I can tell you

that right now.

Do you know why

people buy an Apple?

Why do they buy an Apple,

not the competitor?

Because it's got bravado.

It's social status.

No, you know what?

It's even more than that.

It's social currency.

We've raised the bar.

And if we want to stay there,

we gotta risk everything.

Great artists, Dylan, Picasso,

Newton, they risk failure.

And if we want to be great,

we've gotta risk it, too.

On the command bar?

On everything.

What... And it

starts with the little things.

There's over 20

different functions

tied to even' single variation

of the command bar,

which by the way,

takes weeks to program.

We're not doing anything that

IBM's not already doing.

And I would rather

gamble on our vision

than make a me-too product.

We got to make the small

things just unforgettable.

Let's just start with something simple.

LisaWrite.

What happens if I click

on one of these tabs?

You get a drop-down menu,

and then there's preferences,

and page options.

Okay. Exactly.

Now, which tab do I click on

to get different font styles?

How many custom typefaces

are there on LisaWrite?

That's actually something that I wanted

to talk to you about, Steve, is...

I've been asking for

the fonts for months.

But everything we're talking

about is conceptual.

And I'm sorry, but typeface, it isn't

exactly a pressing issue right now.

Everything is

a pressing issue.

If we want to make the

vision for Lisa a reality,

we gotta put in the hours

and make something great.

Yeah, but we have a hard

date on this software,

and I'm sorry, but adding pretty

fonts is not gonna change that.

Well, Bill'?

If you don't share

our enthusiasm,

and care for the vision

of this company...

No, no, no, no. I just,

I'm not understanding...

Get out.

What?

Get your sh*t and get out.

What, wait...

You're done.

What, you...

What, are you gonna,

you're gonna fire me?

No!

I already fired you!

Why are you still here?

Sieve, he was our best

programmer in the division.

He's the best programmer that

doesn't care about our vision.

Okay. Look, I know ifs not

my place to say it, but...

Then shut

the hell up, Bill!

Yeah.

So sorry to interrupt

you, Mr. Jobs,

but your attorney is

here for your 8:
00.

All right.

I want to see samples

this afternoon.

Somehow we managed to design a word

processor that doesn't have fonts.

And it can't happen again.

So fix it!

2:
00 to 3:00. And

your 10:
00 is waiting for you.

Steve. Steve, hey.

Daniel. Hey.

Do you have

a second to talk?

I thought we rescheduled.

It'll only take a second.

That's what everyone says.

Steve.

Fine.

I don't have a lunch, so' meet

me at Good Earth at noon.

Okay. Cool.

Okay.

What are you

working on these days?

Oh, um.-.

Apple ll Plus repairs, mainly.

Right.

I need you to sign this.

It legally preserves

your visitation rights.

I don't want them.

Lisa Brennan is not my child.

The courts disagree.

Chris-Ann is a lunatic. It's impossible.

At the very least, improbable.

You knew going into this

the paternity test could prove

that you were the father.

There are 24 million

people in California.

That test has a five

percent margin of error.

That's 1.2 million people that

could be the father of that child.

It's not me.

You don't need to convince me.

But you do need to sign this.

Miss Brennan is entitled

to your child support

regardless of whether
