to continue their

work from Govworks.

This is stuff that can be done

from a different facility.

This is much more efficient.

We have a lot of people

here. We have momentum.

We're going into a big week.

We're paying them

eight and a half million dollars.

I understand.

Who cares what they...

Seriously, it doesn't matter.

The least they can do is

keep the damn floor open.

Just get him to take one out.

Hey, forget it.

You realize... - David,

I want to keep this floor open.

- I didn't... Tom said that.

- Okay, great.

We're keepin'

the floor open, guys.

I'm sorry, guys,

about the back and forth.

I'm sorry about the confusion.

- All right? Thank you.

- Got it.

I'd like to pay my parking

ticket before we go live.

So you don't want to pay it

on the live site?

That's it.

Transaction complete.

It is a cool little engine.

Can I take my two seconds right

now, then, as people are leaving,

And just say thank you,

it's been an incredible weekend.

The engineers who are here...

working for the

last however many days...

It's been amazing. Thanks a lot.

Let's go drink some beer.

Thanks, everyone.

We're live tonight.

We did it.

What an amazing weekend.

Kaleil was right. We

should've pushed for this point.

We did, and we're there.

I think it would be good now...

I'll just go over to Kaleil Tuzman,

The Cofounder and C.E.O.

Of Govworks. Com,

- To talk, and the floor is yours.

- Thank you, Mr. President.

I have the great pleasure to be

sitting next to professor Putnam...

who used to be the dean

of the school of government...

where I intended to finish

my graduate studies, and didn't.

Um, so...

I feel...

particularly empowered.

When it comes to

democratic representation,

There's nothing that

can fulfil, really,

Atomic-Level representative

democracy like the internet.

It was fun.

And afterwards, they showed

you talking to Clinton one on one.

Oh, really? - Speedo swears

you handed him a business card.

- I did.

- Yeah, right.

- I did hand him one. Right.

- You seemed like...

- I also talked to him about the C.E.O. Job.

- Did you really?

We were watching it.

You were definitely

telling him, like, you know,

- What the options package is.

- I told him about that stuff.

I told him that when

he moved to New York...

that he should consider...

a job with us if Hilary wins.

- He'll be... So...

- Yeah. It was unbelievable.

Just call and say,

"I'm here. I'm okay. It's okay.

"I'm doing okay. I love you.

"I will not be able

to see you for four or five days,

But I'll call you tomorrow".

One time, "I will call you".

Kaleil says, "you

measure my love in phone calls".

It's not in phone calls. It's that

if you pick up the phone and say,

"Dorita, I'm gonna be working.

"I won't be seeing you

for a couple of days.

I love you and I am okay.

Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm okay".

With that you can

keep me going...

three weeks.

Hello?

Hello? Andressa, I'm terribly

sorry to wake you at this hour.

It's Kaleil.

Um, we have a little bit

of a situation.

We had a break-In

to the office last night,

And it looks like,

from the dynamics of the break-In,

It looks like it could be

corporate espionage.

Uh, they forced entry

into my office,

Went to the trouble of

disconnecting my computer cable,

My security cable,

and stole my computer.

It's totally ransacked.

- Could've been.

- We're assuming a coworker?

I'm not assuming that,

but I would say that it's likely,

Given what I see so far

and what I've heard.

Most of these were opened,

And the fronts were

ripped off a lot of them.

Everybody has access

to the elevator?

You have a shut-Off,

you have a key to...

- Yeah.

- Floor by floor?

Yes, we do. The lock

on the fifth floor wasn't working,

But we were only letting in

people we knew. - Mm-Hmm.

- I have bad news.

- Okay.

Okay. I had some files in my

legal section that are missing.

They went directly

to your computer,

To your desk, to your files,

To Nicole's, to Patrick's.

F***.

Uh, I've had better days.

Yeah, well, as I look

around the office...

it looks pretty clear to us...

that they were looking

for specific information.

It occurred sometime, we believe,

between 1:
00 a.m. And 6:00 a.m.

I think I know what time

they were here.

It was when my computer

was shut down.

There was actually

no security violations,

But the computer had some

weird errors on it.

It was shut down

and recorded it around 3:21 a.m.

It's totally premeditated.

This is not a random burglary.

They can definitely get in,

And they can definitely

make a mess of our site.

They can redirect our site

to a porn site...

very easily if they had

all those things.

Listen, Kaleil, you know,

we learned a lesson,

- And...

- I hope it wasn't a fatal lesson.

Yeah, I hope it wasn't a fatal

lesson, too, but maybe it was.

Maybe it was a fatal lesson.

Maybe you're right.

I mean, we learned a lesson...

And right now, you know,

we deal with it.

We've got people that have

come in...

That are helping us

do the sh*t we need to do.

As usual, we'll do the best

that we can...

And deal with whatever happens...

And not get too upset about it.

We still live in nice places, and

we'll both move on to great jobs.

So, uh, you know,

That's, like,

worst-Case scenario.

It would've been a fun year.

We'll go start

a different company,

Do something a little less...

sensitive.

Ay yi yi.

What is this, like,

hand signal that you're doing?

- I'm sorry?

- What is this, like, hand signal?

You have to look

to answer that question.

Why are you being

so mean to me today?

Because I haven't seen you

for a long time.

Every time I call you,

you're, like, "I'll call you back,"

And you never do.

I do call you back.

- No, you don't.

- I do.

I left you four messages

in the course of three days.

I said to leave me a message

if you can't get ahold of me,

And you didn't.

- You didn't even call me.

- No, don't badger me.

Okay.

Well, what are you doing?

You're not looking up

things anymore.

You're writing an e-Mail.

- That's because I finished...

- And I'm going to leave you.

- Everything closes at 10:00.

- Do I have to...

Oh, so you're going to write

an e-Mail and not tell me?

That's what you're doing now...

while I'm sitting here reading?

It sounds so stark when you

put things that way.

You know what?

You're supposed to

already be on vacation by now.

I'm not ready.

Almost. Any minute.

Bye. Can you

take this back?

Uh-Huh.

Hold on a second.

She's mad.

Well, not just a bad day on

wall street,

A record-Setting

bad day on wall street.

Friday the 14th of April 2000...

No less, the anniversary

of the sinking of the titanic...

A titanic struggle

today for investors.

In pointage terms,

it has never been this messy,

And it has never been this bad.

Our business is

in serious trouble.

Our business is? Give me the

ten boxes. - A lot of reasons.

Okay. - I just want you to
