Steve Jobs Page #3
STEVE:
Okay, pull the voice demo.
JOANNA:
Thank you.
STEVE:
And then cancel the launch.
JOANNA:
I see, you just (tricked me a
little).
STEVE:
(over)
You can tell me how unimportant it
is but if the computer doesn’t say
hello then neither will John
Sculley who, I promise you, agrees
with me.
JOANNA:
Sculley’s not gonna cancel the
launch ‘cause he’s not insane.
STEVE:
He’s also not a hack and when it
comes to the Macintosh he’s gonna
do what I ask him to do. What is in
this box?

Nothing you need to worry about,
don’t even open it.
STEVE opens the flaps on the box and pulls out an issue of
Time magazine. “Machine of the Year” is on the cover with a
picture of a computer. It’s a carton full of copies of Time.
STEVE:
(pause)
What the f*** is--why is there a
carton of--who did this?
JOANNA:
Somebody thought-
STEVE:
Who?
JOANNA:
--doesn’t matter--thought it would
be a good idea to have copies of
everyone’s seat. It was nipped in
the bud and all the copies are
being taken out of the building-they’re
probably already out of the
building so...problem solved.
STEVE:
This isn’t a Macintosh.
JOANNA:
I understand.
STEVE:
Somebody thought it would be a good
idea to, like, enthusiastically
hand over copies of Time with a not-
a-Macintosh on the cover at the
launch of the Macintosh? What are
they handing out at Hewlett-
Packard, a bushel of apples with my
face on them?
JOANNA:
I’m sure the thinking was-
STEVE:
Yeah?

3JOANNA:
--that since the computer is Man of
the Year that that’s good for our
business but like I said I’m having
them removed from the building.
STEVE:
What I’d like you to do with them
is to take them, all 2600 copies,
and stack them on Kottke’s desk and
tell him Steve says, “Happy New
Year to you.”
JOANNA:
Okay.
STEVE:
I gave Michael Moritz full access,
the whole campus. Bandley, Apple
II, Lisa, I gave him Sculley,
Markkula, I gave him Woz, I gave
him everybody. Betrayal, thy name
is Michael Moritz and Bozo, thy
name is Daniel Kottke. What should
I call the person who thought it
would be a good idea to hand these
out?
JOANNA:
I’m not telling you who it was, it
was done without malice, it’s been
taken care of, you have a half-hour
and we have things to talk about.
STEVE:
Like what?
JOANNA:
Like a million in the first 90 days-
STEVE:
Joanna-
JOANNA:
Twenty thousand a month after that.
STEVE:
Look-
JOANNA:
I’m begging you-
