- I do not.

- You both look terrible.

- Just get used to it.

- What are we supposed to do?

It's simple.

You call him and say you're Paul.

And then Paul goes to Albuquerque

and says he's Paul.

So. what are you gonna say?

Hi. Mr. Ed Roberts. please.

This is Paul Allen. calling

from Cambridge. Massachusetts.

It's our job to find out what this guy

doesn't know that he needs...

...but does need and make sure

he knows he does need it...

...and that we're the only ones

to give him the answer.

What?

- Mr. Roberts?

- Yes. sir. Mr. Allen.

I tell you. I believe that we've

got one hot product here.

The reason I can speak that way is

because I've taken over 50 calls...

...from people wanting to come to

work with us on this Altair project.

So here's the deal.

I snuck two women into my room.

And they're naked.

I mean. like. really naked.

You know. like. gorgeous naked.

So don't say I never

did anything for you...

...because they're waiting

for you right now.

Drop dead. Ballmer.

Oh. and I told them...

...that you were writing

a computer language...

...and right away.

they start moaning for it.

Oh. computer languages.

Oh. Fortran.

Oh. Fortran.

Will you cut it out. Steve.

Excuse me. I'm just trying

to save you guys from...

...wasting your entire

Harvard reading week...

...over this Traf-O-Data simulator...

...while everyone else

is out getting drunk or laid.

- Paul. are those parts binary?

- I give up. I give up.

I give up. I give up.

Oh. duck. Bill.

Oh. you know. Bill. I think you gotta

come up with a better pickup line.

Asking her what her SAT score is

is definitely not gonna do it.

I forgot to write a loader.

That's not an improvement. Bill.

No. no. I just realized something.

Paul's on his way to Albuquerque.

I forgot to write the loader that connects

the computer to the Teletype.

And if he starts that machine.

and it can't read the tape, we're dead.

Unless he did it on the plane.

I'm finished.

- It's something I just realized.

- I hope so.

If this Albuquerque thing had worked.

I was gonna quit Harvard.

Are you crazy?

I gotta be a doctor or something.

Gynecologist. maybe.

- Come on.

- I'm flying.

Yeah. you're flying.

- Here we go.

- Ballmer.

You're the only guy I know

who pays the strippers...

...to put their clothes on.

Come on. drunkie.

Okay-

Hey. Bill...

...it's either the clothes or you.

but something...

...definitely needs to be hosed down.

- Sorry we failed.

- Come on.

- Good night.

- Sorry we failed.

Bill, Bill, Bill.

Bill, Bill, Bill.

It's an Altair.

They gave it to us as a gift.

We blew them away.

Woz. do we have to have mice?

Come on. I like mice. This is Irving.
