Steve Jobs

John Sculley: [to Steve] Don't play stupid; you can't pull it off. Lisa Brennan: I had two different Harvard statisticians try to reverse-engineer the equation that you came up with to prove that 28% of American men could be my father. You know, my mother might be a troubled woman, but what’s your excuse? That’s why I’m not impressed with your story, dad! It’s that you knew what I was going through, and you didn’t do anything about it, and that makes you an unconscionable coward. And not for nothing, but “Think” is a verb, alright? Making “Different” an adverb. You’re asking people to “Think Differently”. And you-- And you can talk about the Bauhaus movement and Braun and "simplicity is sophistication" and Issey Miyake uniforms and Bob Dylan lyrics all you want, but that thing? (pointing at one of the posters of the iMac) Looks like Judy Jetson's easy-bake oven.

Steve Wozniak: Why has Lisa not heard of me? Steve Jobs: Shit, man, how many fourth graders have heard of you? Steve Wozniak: You can't write code. You're not an engineer. You're not a designer. You can't put a hammer to a nail. I built the circuit board! The graphical interface was stolen from Xerox Park! Jeff Raskin was the leader of the Mac team before you threw him off his own project! Everything-- Someone else designed the box! So how come ten times in a day I read Steve Jobs is a genius? What do you do? Steve Jobs: I play the orchestra. And you're a good musician, [points towards the first violin chair] you sit right there, you're the best in your role. Steve Wozniak: I came here to clear the air. Do you know why I came here? Steve Jobs: Didn't you just answer that? Steve Wozniak: I came here 'cause you're gonna get killed. Your computer's gonna fail. You got a college and university advisory board telling you they need a powerful work station for two to three thousand. You price
