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.

0K3?'-

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.

Butjust out of curiosity,

how much are we getting paid?

$700.

Some big bucks there.

ALCORNI Sh*t.

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.

What are you working on?

I'm writing jokes for

my dial-a-joke machine.

I've got some really good funny Polish

jokes, which work because I'm Polish.

Hang out and tell me what

you think of this one.

Ready? Ready?

What is long, and hard, that a Polish

bride gets on her wedding night?

A new last name.

That's hilarious.

Pretty good, isn't it?

What do you call a beautiful

Polish girl? Lucky.

What's that?

Hmm'?

Oh.

That. Now that

is gonna be cool.

It's a computer terminal board

I'm working on.

Hooks up to the TV

for the display.

What is it like, a kit?

What do you mean?

Well, well...

The code is still buggy,

but in theory it'll display

whatever you're working on. Like...

Show me.

Show you. Okay.

Wow.

I don't care if HP

didn't like it. It matters.

Yeah.

It's got potential.

No, the Sex Pistols have potential.

This is the wheel.

It's the

Industrial Revolution.

No more decks,

no more mainframes.

That changes everything.

It's pretty cool, I guess.

Hi, Charlene. Hello.

Hey.

Cool. It's profound. How could you

not tell me about this before?

I don't know. I was just working on it for my own.

It, it was a hobby.

Exactly. Exactly.

For your own. For you.

It's what you wanted. It's what

your gut' your instinct wanted.

Your big evolved brain wanted

something that didn't exist,

so you just willed it

into existence.

It's, what do you

call the system?

The operating system?

The operating, and it just shows you...
