achieve connectivity,

but..

We have a problem.

You know what that problem is?

Your adaptors can't overcome the

bandwidth limitations of

wireless hand-helds.

That's right.

Data takes too long to download

so your image gets...

Image, ah, goes fuzzy

Fuzzy, yeah. Heh.

Can you get this done in time

to meet your date?

With you, I can.

So I understand your friend Teddy is

kind of attached to his parents.

It's very commendable.

The truth is he's...

Milo, I know, he thinks we've...

cloned too many programs

an forced people to buy our inferior

versions and blah, blah, blah..

ad infinitum, ad nauseum

I've heard it all before.

I even understand it,

it's the nature of competitive business.

When you're on top,

people attack the quality

of your product.

It comes with the territory.

It's when the attacks get personal

the "Gary Winston is Satan" web sites,

digitizing my wife's face on

porn star bodies...

I don't like that.

You're one of maybe

with the mastery it's going to

take to finish this thing.

We'd love for you to join us.

The future holds limitless

possibilities, Milo.

You decide what the future

holds for you.

Let me know.

You know I look at you and see

something I haven't seen in 20 years.

What?

I see me.

Alice.

Yeah.

So When is Brian coming for the TV?

I don't know.

I'm going to leave you two alone, O.K?

Why are you doing this?

Teddy, come on.

He can't hit his date without you,

can he?

Remember that lecture Ginnings gave?

About open source.

Yeah.

He said human knowledge

belongs to the world.

Like Shakespeare or Aspirin.

Teddy, I know you are disappointed,

I just feel like...

...this is the right thing

to do for now.

They were interested in you too.

Gary even mentioned you.

Yeah, well..

I'm not interested in them.

That's fine.

I got what's important to you.

This is important to me.

And I know your are going to

get your venture capital.

We did.

We had to settle for 850

because we lost you.

So, it will be enough.

It'll be enough because

they've got you.

We're both going to do

something great.

Sure.

I just thought we were

going to do it together.

Milo, this is Mr. Barton

from the...

Department of Justice.

- Sorry about the glass.

- No problem.

Don't worry, Milo.

I'm here as a friend.

I understand you signed up

with Gary Winston.

You know Milo, we're at

a great disadvantage with NURV.

I mean our experts are not

as smart as theirs.

The truth is we could do with a real

smart guy on our team

to help us pick our fights.

I'm going to take a real shot

in the dark here, OK?

I can offer you $42,000

a year and a Buick,

if you will change your mind
