:06:02
It's about power.
:06:04
Right on, man.
:06:06
It's like those weird countries...
:06:08
...where the army guys
overthrow the president.
:06:11
The first thing that they take over...
:06:13
...are the ways people communicate,
you know, radio, TV, newspapers.
:06:18
Far-out, man.
:06:20
Information is power.
:06:25
I kept building the boxes,
and Steve kept selling them...
:06:28
... until one day, we almost
got busted by some cops...
:06:31
... who, thank God, didn't even
know what a blue box was.
:06:37
You might wanna try a haircut, boys.
:06:40
So I started trying to build something
that wasn't gonna get us in trouble.
:06:45
- That's not a blue box.
- It's a computer.
:06:47
Woz, we need blue boxes,
not computers.
:06:50
- I got a reporter from Mercury News coming.
- What for?
:06:53
My mom phoned, told them I was building
a computer, and they wanna do a story.
:06:57
Woz, give me a break.
:06:59
Hey, let me ask you something,
seriously. Look at me.
:07:02
Do you wanna get stuck here
the rest of your life in this hellhole?
:07:06
Look, this is where I grew up, okay?
It's not a hellhole. Shoot.
:07:09
I know your newspaper will find
Steve's computer fascinating.
:07:12
He's so ingenious.
He built it all from spare parts.
:07:14
Steven, the reporter is...
:07:18
Hi. It caught fire.
:07:20
My first chance at fame,
and the computer catches fire.
:07:24
Sorry.
:07:30
When I was still at Berkeley...
:07:31
... I kept making
weird electronic gadgets...
:07:34
... that were basically just jokes.
:07:38
But, hey, you know, jokes are important.
:07:46
The problem back then was
me and Steve and his girlfriend...
:07:49
... were pretty much broke.
:07:50
So we ended up doing some pretty
nutty things just to make money.
:07:54
I know where we can get a job.
:07:56
- Saw it on the bulletin board there.
- What kind of job?
:07:59
I don't know. It seems
sort of like show business.
