million dollars in legal damages

701
00:41:20,684 --> 00:41:22,250
Okay, stop selling me.
702
00:41:22,251 --> 00:41:23,917
I don’t need you.
703
00:41:23,918 --> 00:41:25,717
You think I don’t see it ?
704
00:41:25,718 --> 00:41:27,283
This takes off, I write my own ticket,
705
00:41:27,284 --> 00:41:30,617
but if it goes wrong, I’m a college dropout
706
00:41:30,618 --> 00:41:33,083
repairing VCRs for $3.25 an hour,
707
00:41:33,084 --> 00:41:35,117
so forgive me for weighing my options.
708
00:41:35,118 --> 00:41:37,183
See ?
709
00:41:37,184 --> 00:41:39,051
Now you’re thinking like a professional.
710
00:41:42,351 --> 00:41:44,850
How much money would you give me ?
711
00:41:44,851 --> 00:41:48,851
Junior engineer, no experience… 20 grand.
712
00:41:50,218 --> 00:41:51,850
Double it.
713
00:41:51,851 --> 00:41:53,883
My wife makes 15 at TI.
714
00:41:53,884 --> 00:41:55,751
Well, then I feel sorry for her.
715
00:41:59,284 --> 00:42:00,818
So ?
716
00:42:02,151 --> 00:42:03,818
What’s it gonna be, Joe ?
717
00:42:06,084 --> 00:42:09,351

This is for legal record.
734
00:42:53,384 --> 00:42:58,683
False answers put you at risk of perjury, you understand ?
735
00:42:58,684 --> 00:43:00,817
I’m sorry, you have to answer “yes” or “I do.”
736
00:43:00,818 --> 00:43:03,051
Cameron: — Oh, yes, I do.
737
00:43:06,951 --> 00:43:10,017
Barry: — Have you ever attempted
to disassemble or deconstruct
738
00:43:10,018 --> 00:43:13,117
any product manufactured by
International Business Machines,
739
00:43:13,118 --> 00:43:15,318
more commonly known as IBM ?
740
00:43:18,784 --> 00:43:21,483
Uh, no, I have not.
741
00:43:21,484 --> 00:43:23,617
Barry: — Have you ever attempted
to reverse engineer
742
00:43:23,618 --> 00:43:26,818
any product or equipment made by IBM ?
743
00:43:27,951 --> 00:43:29,750
No, I have not.
744
00:43:29,751 --> 00:43:31,750
Barry: — Have you ever
attempted to reverse engineer
745
00:43:31,751 --> 00:43:35,017
any microchips, microcode, or any computer hardware
746
00:43:35,018 --> 00:43:38,283
while under the employ of a business or corporation ?
747
00:43:38,284 --> 00:43:40,118
No, I have not.
748
00:43:42,618 --> 00:43:44,650
Bosworth: — Well, welcome…
749
00:43:44,651 --> 00:43:50,650
to the tiniest, leakiest lifeboat…
750
00:43:50,651 --> 00:43:53,118
you ever tried to paddle to shore in.
751
00:43:54,951 --> 00:43:57,517
I had some numbers run, looks like this PC business
752
00:43:57,518 --> 00:44:01,583
is gonna cost us upwards of a couple
million dollars just to get in the door.
753
00:44:01,584 --> 00:44:03,517
So, in order to reach that perfect world
754
00:44:03,518 --> 00:44:05,017
where we actually start selling things
755
00:44:05,018 --> 00:44:06,450
rather than running from the bogeyman,
756
00:44:06,451 --> 00:44:10,517
there will be some rules. One, no bullshit.
757
00:44:10,518 --> 00:44:13,217
— Sorry, what constitutes bull…
— Whatever I damn say it is.
758
00:44:13,218 --> 00:44:18,150
Two, hours are now from when this
meeting is done until when you die.
759
00:44:18,151 --> 00:44:22,917
And three, I know I can’t fire any of you yet,
760
00:44:22,918 --> 00:44:25,117
but that also means you can’t leave,
761
00:44:25,118 --> 00:44:26,583
so if I need to stomp on one of y’all’s heads
762
00:44:26,584 --> 00:44:28,483
to feel better about my morning shave,
763
00:44:28,484 --> 00:44:32,817
whoa, you’re gonna have to find a way to deal with that.
764
00:44:32,818 --> 00:44:35,584
Do you understand ?
765
00:44:38,351 --> 00:44:40,650
So, who’s my boss or whatever ?
766
00:44:40,651 --> 00:44:42,050
Both: — Me.
767
00:44:42,051 --> 00:44:43,517
[ door opens ]
768
00:44:43,518 --> 00:44:45,584
IBM is here.
769
00:44:47,118 --> 00:44:49,050
Listen, keep your stories straight.
770
00:44:49,051 --> 00:44:51,717
You’re gonna be reciting them all day.
771
00:44:51,718 --> 00:44:53,684
Joe, one more thing.
772
00:44:57,484 --> 00:44:59,883
According to IBM, you’ve been
on the side of a milk carton
773
00:44:59,884 --> 00:45:01,983
for about a year.
774
00:45:01,984 --> 00:45:05,883
Yeah, I hired you. I didn’t check your references,
775
00:45:05,884 --> 00:45:10,650
so whatever this is, son, I’m on the hook for it.
776
00:45:10,651 --> 00:45:13,083
You understand ?
777
00:45:13,084 --> 00:45:14,751
Yeah.
778
00:45:18,284 --> 00:45:22,050
I’ve worked here for 22 years.
779
00:45:22,051 --> 00:45:25,484
I helped build this company into what it is.
780
00:45:26,851 --> 00:45:31,017
And you backed me into a corner in my own home ?
781
00:45:31,018 --> 00:45:36,871
I’m never… I’m never gonna forget that.
782
00:45:38,151 --> 00:45:40,584
Never.
783
00:45:41,784 --> 00:45:44,283
I’m gonna root through your closets, boy.
784
00:45:44,284 --> 00:45:48,118
Oh, I’m gonna pull every loose thread.
785
00:46:11,018 --> 00:46:12,517
— How are you ? Dale.
— Good to see ya.
786
00:46:12,518 --> 00:46:13,917
Good to see you.
787
00:46:13,918 --> 00:46:16,550
John Bosworth, Miss Taylor. We spoke on the phone.
788
00:46:16,551 --> 00:46:18,051
This way.
789
00:46:25,984 --> 00:46:28,551
Holy shit.
790
00:46:32,251 --> 00:46:35,118
What are you trying to prove with all this ?
791
00:47:00,691 --> 00:47:06,635
