AntiTrust

This business

is a living organism.

Multiplying constantly

surrounded by predators.

There's no rule for

idle time or second guessing,

New discoveries are made hourly.

New ideas are ready to be

devoured and redefined.

This business is binary.

You're a one or a zero.

Alive or dead.

There is no second place.

It's been suggested

by the media and congress

that you're violating antitrust laws,

and threatening competition.

Mr. Winston, can you reasonably deny

that you have a monopoly in this area?

Well, the only monopoly

we have at N.U.R.V, congressman,

is monopoly on excellence.

This is still a free market.

But a free market encourages

competition.

You prevent it.

Congressman, I don't need to remind you

that the essence of competition

has always been quite simple.

Any kid working in a garage anywhere

in the world,

with a good idea, can put us

out of business.

You can try a version qualification

scheme if you have the best driver.

Wait a second.. go back up.

Move, move.

Teddy, I think I found our bottleneck.

- You did it!

- Yee-Haw!

God! That feels good.

It's gorgeous!

We're geeks.

Three months from today,

N.U.R.V will launch SYNAPSE,

transforming the way

humans communicate,

With Synapse,

the entire world will be able

to send or receive any message

be it audio, video or text

on any medium.

SYNAPSE will fully unite

the global village.

You've set yourself real

ticking clock here, Gary.

All of your competitors are desperate

to get to the marketplace with this

technology before you.

It has even been suggested

that you won't hit

this very ambitious launch date.

We're going to hit that date.

You can bet on it.

How can you be sure?

We'll do whatever it takes...

to get there.

Pace yourself, Brian.

Over here...

Milo, what do you think of this?

I know I promised my mom

we're gonna make this garage famous,

but I really don't think

we're gonna be here that long.

'Cause I've got us 3 appointments

with the venture capitalists.

Oh, that is fantastic

I can stop taking calls from

those corporate recruitment losers.

I'll do the talking, Brian.

Here's your shirt, Milo.

Guys, what are these?

Don't you know? The worse you look,

the smarter they think you are.

They are going to think

you're a genius, Brian.

I just said "Milo" and "Teddy",

and the wallets flew open!

They were dying to give me their money.

You guys are the greatest duo,

since Hewlett and Packard.

Lennon and McCartney.

Ben and Jerry!

I'm Lennon, okay Teddy?

Does that make me Yoko?

Alice, you've got to make him do

this startup with Teddy.

Gary, if he wants to go take a few

interviews... check out his options,

as his friend,

I think you should support him in that.

Want to know the best way

to manipulate somebody?

Yeah.

Don't try.

"As graduating students for the

Stanford University Computer

Science department,

"you have a magnificent foundation...

in theory.

"What you need is a creative,

innovative..."

- So pretentious!

- The guy's a fascist monopolist.

- Exactly.

The guy knows how to get people's

attention. He does.

Shut up... shut up!

I'm trying to listen.

"...will field your questions.

"Thanks for taking the time

to check us out.

"I'll look forward to seeing some

of you up here at the NURV campus

in the near future."

- Questions, cool!

- I've got a question for him.

"If you guys have questions, fire away."

Why not make SYNAPSE open source?

Don't you have enough money? Heh.

Here is an interesting question:

"What kind of beverages do you offer

your programmers?"

- Oh, come on!
