Steve Jobs Page #7

CHRISANN:

You’re trying to publicly paint me

as a slut and a whore.

STEVE:

Believe me, I’m not trying to

publicly do anything with you.

CHRISANN:

Two-million people read Time, how

am (I supposed to--)

STEVE:

(over)

It would’ve been more if they’d put

me on the cover but Dan Kottke

(decided to kidney punch me and--)

CHRISANN:

(over--stopping him)

I applied for welfare yesterday.

STEVE:

I’m sorry?

CHRISANN:

I said I applied for welfare

yesterday. The Time article said

your Apple stock is worth 441

million dollars. And I wanted to

ask you how you felt about that.

STEVE:

Well...I feel like Apple stock is

being dramatically undervalued.

This would be a good time to get

in.

CHRISANN:

Your daughter and her mother are on

welfare.

STEVE:

Chrisann-

CHRISANN:

We’re living in a hovel in Menlo

Park. We can’t pay the heating

bills, she sleeps in a parka. Your

daughter is (living in a

neighborhood)-

STEVE:

She’s not my daughter.

CHRISANN:

Because as reported by Time

magazine I’ve slept with 28% of the

men in America-

STEVE:

No.

CHRISANN:

--all of them exactly nine months

before Lisa was born.

There’s a KNOCK at the door and JOANNA opens it-

JOANNA:

I’ve got Andy here.

STEVE:

(to CHRISANN)

Excuse me.

STEVE steps out into-

6 INT. HALLWAY - CONTINUOUS 6

--where ANDY HERTZFELD is waiting along with some members of

his team. LISA slips into the dressing room from the hallway

without STEVE much noticing.

STEVE:

We’re there?

ANDY:

(calling into the dressing

room)

Hey Chris.

CHRISANN:

Hey Andy.

ANDY:

How’re you doin’?

CHRISANN:

Terrible.

STEVE:

You guys caught up now?

CHRISANN:

Excuse me for saying hello to my

friend who thinks you’re a dick.

ANDY:

(to STEVE)

I don’t think you’re a-

STEVE:

We’re there?

ANDY:

No. It’s got a one in six chance of

working.

STEVE:

Goddammit!

It should be noted there are a number of people--YOUNG

ENGINEERS--standing around and witnessing Steve beat up Andy.

ANDY:

We’re not a pit crew at Daytona,

this can’t be fixed in seconds.

STEVE:

You didn’t have seconds, you had

three weeks. The universe was

created in a third of that time.

ANDY:

Well someday you’ll have to tell us

how you did it.

JOANNA can’t help a smile and small laugh. STEVE looks at

her...

STEVE:

Here’s what I’m going to do. I’m

going to announce the names of

everyone who designed the launch

demo--I’m gonna introduce everyone

and ask them to stand up. The bag

was designed by Susan Kare, the

Macintosh font that’s scrolling

across the screen was designed by

Steve Capps, the starry night and

the skywriting was Bruce Horn,

MacPaint, MacWrite, Alice, down to

the calculator and then I’m going

to say the voice demo that didn’t

work was designed by Andy

Hertzfeld.
