Jobs

I'm really excited to be here.

We have something really special to share with you today.

In total, between iMac and PowerBook lines,

we have sold over three million units this year.

Okay. That's it.

Well, maybe there's one more thing.

I'm about to show you something that's amazing.

Something that no one else in the world has seen yet.

Now, Jony, myself and a small team

have been working really hard on a secret project,

which is something I've been known to do

from time to time.

The device I'm about to introduce to you

is gonna revolutionize an entire industry.

It's a music playing device.

Okay

We'll get to that in a minute.

Because what it represents is as important as what it is.

It's a tool for the heart.

And when you can touch someone's heart,

that's limitless.

If I do say so myself, it's insanely cool.

It's a music player.

It's a thousand songs in your pocket.

I'd like to introduce you

to the iPod.

Hey, Jobs.

Get up, man. Wake up.

I'm up.

I'm up.

I'm up.

Steve.

Hey, Daniel. Hey, what's going on?

Are you reading Be Here Now? Yeah, it's amazing.

I'm reading that right now. It's unbelievable.

It's the next level. Hey, speaking of Be Here,

what happened to you last night? Where'd you go?

I had to study. I know, I know.

You know, I'm not dismissing the value of higher education,

I'm just saying it comes at the expense of experience.

The system can only produce the system.

I don't want to be a part of that. Neither should you.

I agree with you. It takes balls to drop out like you did.

That's why you should.

I mean... Steven.

Might I borrow you for a moment?

I'll see you in, see you later. Sure.

Thank you. Thanks. I hope I'm not interrupting.

What about your classes?

I'm not a student anymore, Jack.

Well, you're here, and you're learning.

Sure sounds like a student to me.

If you want me gone...

Why would I want you gone, Steven?

I'm glad that you're here.

Whether you're paying or not.

Now, you're always carrying this notebook around.

You obviously fancy yourself as an artist.

Why don't you sit in on some design classes?

No. Well, I like the idea of art' the beauty. But only in the right context.

Just not as a career. I don't have the necessary talents.

But aren't you interested in electronics? What about engineering?

There's a growing market for qualified technicians. What about that?

I don't want to spend my parents' money

to get a degree and become something

as forgettable as an electrician.

Excuse me, what, a degree is a waste of time now? So...

For some. For others it offers validation. Job security.

Steve... I'll see you around.

Steven. To be continued.

What are you working on?

Nothing, really. It's homework for calligraphy class.

It's beautiful.

Yeah, the teacher's this monk, or something.

A monk?

Yeah. Robert Palladino.

He's totally inspiring.

My name's Julie.

Are you leaving?

Yeah. I have to go.

You want a hit?

Yes.

Yes, I do.

Can I take a couple?

Sure. For my friends.

Well, my friend, and my girlfriend.

It's so beautiful.

Like a window to the world.

What do you think it's like in space?

It's...

beyond understanding.

Yeah.

Who has a baby,

and then just throws it away like it's nothing?

You talking about your birth parents?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

That's bad. Yeah. That's making me really sad. I...

Sorry that my life is ruining your high.

It's okay.

I miss you when you're not around.

I love you, Steve.

I love you.

Space. The endless black deep.

What was it that that guru used to tell us?

There is no time to waste.

Do you hear that?

What?

There he goes again.

Calligraphy is the artful and visual expression of communication.

Take Garamond, for example.

A typeface specifically designed to make the very act of reading

more natural.

Computers are inherently designed to make your lives easier.

Theoretically there's no limit to what computers can do.

It is not who you were at birth that matters

but what you do with the time you are given.

The moment of your death is fixed.

Life is but a journey to serenity, to its completion.

Be as simple as you can be.

You'll be astonished to see how uncomplicated

and happy your life can become.

I don't even know what I'm gonna do when I go back home.

What about you?

What are you gonna do when you get back to The Valley?

Steve?

Steve? You okay?

No. No, no! No. It's still black and white.

People want color.

Pong didn't have color. So?

Let's do something better.

It can't do color.

Says who?

Okay, you refuse to do anything

that vaguely escapes your comfort zone.

You're not even my boss.

Well, I damn sure should be.

Hey, Jobs!

What're you doing, Steve?

He's an idiot.

You know, and half the people around here

don't know how to design shit.

People are complaining about your behavior.

Okay? And, yeah. About mine?

And your odor.

Are you showering like we discussed?

I'm wearing shoes. You asked me

to wear shoes, and I've got them on.

That's not part of the deal, Steve.

You've gotta learn how to work well with other people.

I'm just trying to do it right, Al.

I know you are.

Then let me.

Listen, Steve!

You're good. You're damn good.

But you're an asshole.

Well, that...

Hey. Let me finish.

I want you here. I really do.

Somethings gotta change.

Give me my own project. What?

Give me my own project.

I'll do it on my own.

And I'll make the best damn game you have ever seen.

You're serious.

Okay, Steve.

I need someone to reprogram a troublesome game.

But I'm on a tight deadline.

So if you can deliver,

we'll pay you up to $5,000.

$5,000? Mmm-hmm.

Okay.

And as for your personal issues, I think I may have a solution.

So many circuits.

Woz? Hey, it's Steve.

Thanks for saving my ass.

Of course. We're friends. That's, that's what friends do.

I just can't work for other people.

I guess I need my independence. If that makes any sense.

Uh-huh.

That makes perfect sense.

I'm sorry for ruining your Friday night.

Are you kidding me? This is great.

I'd do this for free. I really would.

But just out of curiosity, how much are we getting paid?

$700.

Some big bucks there.

Shit.

This is good. Really good.

I know.

Wow. Four days. You aren't kidding around.

I'll have to show it to Nolan, but this is, this is good.

Woz?

Hi. Hi.

Woz!

Hi! Yeah, I'm in the living room.

Hey. Good news.

Huh? Let me guess, your bosses liked the video game.

They loved it! Ooh.

$350. Whew! That's not bad.

Not bad? It's great.
