STEVE JOBS - Shooting Script 03/19/15 7.
1 CONTINUED:
1JOANNA:
He needs to talk to you.
ANDREA CUNNINGHAM, the 26-year-old publicist, calls back-
ANDREA:
Yeah.
STEVE:
(to ANDREA)
The exit signs have to be off or
we’re not gonna get a full
blackout.
ANDREA:
We’ve spoken to the building
manager and the fire marshal.
STEVE:
And?
ANDREA:
There’s absolutely no way they’re
letting us turn the exit signs off.
STEVE:
I’ll pay whatever the fine is.
ANDREA:
The fine is they’re gonna come in
and tell everyone to leave.
STEVE:
You explained to the fire marshal
that we’re in here changing the
world?
ANDREA:
I did, but unless we can also
change the properties of fire he
doesn’t care.
JOANNA:
Steve-
STEVE:
If a fire causes a stampede to the
unmarked exits it will have been
survive. For those who don’t, less

1ANDREA:
Listen-
STEVE:
(still to ANDREA)
I need it to go to black, real
black, get rid of the exit signs
and don’t let me know how you did
it.
(to ANDY)
Fix the voice demo.
STEVE leaves the stage, followed by JOANNA and heads-
2 INT. BACKSTAGE - CONTINUOUS 2
JOANNA:
You need special tools to open the
Mac?
STEVE:
You knew it was a closed system.
JOANNA:
I didn’t know literally, Jesus.
JOANNA opens a door marked “STEVE JOBS” and gives STEVE a
push into-
3 INT. STEVE’S DRESSING ROOM - CONTINUOUS 3
The room’s been set aside as a place for Steve to chill, be
alone and prepare during rehearsals and before the big
presentation.
There’s a Mac (the original Mac) on a small table.
There’s also a large, unopened carton that was recently
delivered.
JOANNA:
And if you keep alienating people
for no reason there’s gonna be no
one left for it to say hello to.
STEVE:
It’s not for no reason. We blow
this and IBM will own the next 50
years like a Batman villain.
Remember the phone company?

3STEVE (CONT'D)
That’s what Bell was called, the
phone company. IBM will be the
computer company and in 10 years
they’ll be the information company
and that’s very bad for the human
race so we don’t have time to be
polite or realistic ‘cause if we
are, this company’s next product
launch will be held in front of 26
people and a stringer from the
Alameda County Shopper’s Guide.
JOANNA:
We--listen--we haven’t advertised
the voice software. We could pull
it out of the demo and no one would
be disappointed. Do you want to try
being reasonable just, you know, to
see what it feels like?
