Steve Wozniak
Why has Lisa not heard of me?
Steve Jobs
Shit, man, how many fourth graders have heard of you?
Steve Wozniak
You can't write code. You're not an engineer. You're not a designer. You can't put a hammer to a nail. I built the circuit board! The graphical interface was stolen from Xerox Park! Jeff Raskin was the leader of the Mac team before you threw him off his own project! Everything-- Someone else designed the box! So how come ten times in a day I read Steve Jobs is a genius? What do you do?
Steve Jobs
I play the orchestra. And you're a good musician, you sit right there, you're the best in your role.
[points towards the first violin chair]
Steve Wozniak
I came here to clear the air. Do you know why I came here?
Steve Jobs
Didn't you just answer that?
Steve Wozniak
I came here cause you're gonna get killed. Your computer's gonna fail. You got a college and university advisory board telling you they need a powerful work station for two to three thousand. You priced NeXT at 6500, and that doesn't include the optional $3000 hardrive which people will discover isn't optional, because the optical disk is too weak to do anything, and the $2500 laser printer brings the total to $12000, and in the entire world you are the only person that cares that it's housed in a perfect cube. You're gonna get killed. And I came here to stand next to you while that happens cause that's what friends do... that's what men do. I don't need your pass. We go back, so don't talk to me like I'm other people. I'm the only one that knows that this guy here is someone you invented. I'm standing by you because that perfect cube - that does nothing - is about to be the single biggest failure in the history of personal computing.
Steve Jobs
Tell me something else I don't know.

Struggle for Dignity and Basic Needs
Patsey
I went to Massa Shaw's plantation!

Ya admit it.
Patsey
Freely. And you know why? I got this from Mistress Shaw. Mistress Epps won't even grant me no soap ta clean with. Stink so much I make myself gag. Five hundred pounds a cotton day in, day out. More than any man here. And fo that I will be clean; that all I ax. Dis here what I went to Shaw's fo.

Edwin Epps
You lie...
Patsey
The Lord knows that's all.
Edwin Epps
You lie!
Patsey
And you blind wit yer own covetousness. I don't lie, Massa. If you kill me, I'll stick ta that.
Edwin Epps
I'll learn you to go to Shaw's. Treach, go get some line.

Sacrifice and the Cost of Power
Erik Lehnsherr
How did you lose them?
Charles Xavier
The treatment for my spine affects my DNA.
Erik
You sacrificed your powers so you could walk?
Charles
I sacrificed my powers so I could sleep. What do you know about it?
[angrily]
Erik
I've lost my fair share.
Charles
Dry your eyes, Erik. It doesn't justify what you've done.
[laughs coldly; angrily]
Erik
You have no idea what I've done.
Charles
I know you took the things that meant the most to me.
Erik
Well, maybe you should have fought harder for them.
Charles
If you want a fight, Erik, I will give you a fight!
[stands up in rage]
Wolverine
Sit down!
Erik
Let him come.
Charles

Meaning Behind the Name LISA
Steve Jobs
You know what LISA stood for?
Lisa Brennan
What?
Steve Jobs
The computer -- the LISA, you know what it stood for?
Lisa Brennan
I'm sorry I said that about the iMac, it's not what I really think--
Steve Jobs
Behind my back, at the office, you know what it stood for?
Lisa Brennan
Local Integrated System Architecure"! I was five! Why couldn't you just lie?!
Steve Jobs
I did. Of course it was named after you. "Local Integrated System Architecure" doesn't even mean anything.
Lisa Brennan
Why'd you say it wasn't, all those years?
Steve Jobs
I honestly don't know.
Lisa Brennan
Why'd you say you weren't my father?
Steve Jobs
...I'm poorly made.

Questioning Morality in the Face of Law
Bass
The law says you have the right to hold a nigger, but begging the law's pardon... it lies. Is everything right because the law allows it? Suppose they'd pass a law taking away your liberty and making you a slave?
Edwin Epps
Ha!
Bass
Suppose!
Edwin Epps
That ain't a supposable case.
Bass
Because the law states that your liberties are undeniable? Because society deems it so? Laws change. Social systems crumble. Universal truths are constant. It is a fact, it is a plain fact that what is true and right is true and right for all. White and black alike.

Conviction in the Face of Adversity
Steve Jobs

Embracing Power and Identity in Unity
Erik Lehnsherr
You built these weapons to destroy us. Why? Because you are afraid of our gifts. Because we are different. Humanity has always feared that which is different, but I am here to tell you, to tell the world, you're right to fear us. We are the future. We are the ones who inherit this earth and anyone who stands in our way, will suffer the same fate as these men you see before you. Today was meant to be a display of your power. Instead I give you a glimpse of the devastation my race can unleash upon yours. Let this be a warning to the world and to my mutant brothers and sisters out there, I say this. No more hiding. No more suffering. You have lived in the shadows of shame and fear for too long. Come out. Join me. Fight together in a brotherhood of our kind, a new tomorrow that starts today.
Magneto
All those years wasted fighting each other, Charles, to have a precious few of them back.

Five in six is your chance of surviving the first round of Russian Roulette, and you've reversed those odds. So unless you wanna be disgraced in front of your friends, family, colleagues, stockholders and the press, I wouldn't stand here arguing. Now go try and get some more bullets out of the gun.

Tell me what's wrong with you this morning.
Joanna Hoffman
What's been wrong with me for 19 years. I have been a witness, and I tell you I've been complicit. I love you, Steve. You know how much. I love that you don't care how much money a person makes; you care what they make. But what you make isn't supposed to be the best part of you. When you're a father... that's what's supposed to be the best part of you, and it's caused me two decades of agony. Steve... that it is for you... the worst. It's a little thing... it's a very small thing. Fix it. Fix it now or you can contact me at my new job working anywhere I want.

The Key to a New Future
Klaus Schmidt
Understand this, Erik... these Nazis, I'm not like them. Genes are the key, yes? But their goals? Blue eyes? Blonde hair? Pathetic. Eat the chocolate. It's good. Want some?
[he gives him a chocolate bar]
Erik Lehnsherr
I want to see my mama.
Klaus Schmidt
Genes are the key that unlocks the door to a new age, Erik. A new future for mankind. Evolution. You know what I'm talking about? It's a simple thing I ask of you. A little coin is nothing compared to a big gate. Is it?
[gestures to a small Nazi coin on the desk; Erik attempts to move the coin but fails]
Erik Lehnsherr
I tried, Herr Doctor. I can't... I don't... It's impossible.
[this displeases Schmidt]
Klaus Schmidt
The one thing I can say for the Nazis is their methods seem to produce results. I'm sorry, Erik.
[rings bell to summon soldiers who come in with his mother]
Erik Lehnsherr
Mama!
Mrs. Lehnsherr
My darling. How are you?
[she embraces him and speaks in a hushed voice]
Klaus Schmidt
Here's what we're going to do. I'm going to count to three... ...and you're going to move the coin. You don't move the coin, I pull the trigger. Understand? One.
[he gestures to the soldiers to hold her back; he opens a drawer and pulls out a gun; he points the gun at his mother; Erik attempts to move it again without success with a sense of urgency]
Erik Lehnsherr
Mama.
[he looks to his mother]
Mrs. Lehnsherr
You can do it.
Klaus Schmidt
Two.
[he grows impatient]
Mrs. Lehnsherr
Everything is alright.
[Erik concentrates even harder]
Klaus Schmidt
Three. Yes. Wonderful. Excellent. Outstanding, Erik. So we unlock your gift with anger. Anger and pain. You and me... we're going to have a lot of fun together.
[he shoots and kills Erik's mother; trauma enrages Erik into crushing a small metal bell; sees Erik crush a metal filing cabinet; Erik loses control of his rage and crushes the soldiers' helmets on their heads before sending all metal objects across the room. Schmidt consoles him after he crises; he leaves the Nazi coin in Erik's hand and he leaves]

Conflict Over Apple’s Legacy and Innovation
Steve Wozniak
This whole place was built by the Apple II, you were built by the Apple II!
Steve Jobs
As a matter of fact, I was destroyed by the Apple II and its open systems so that hackers and hobbyists could build ham radios! Or something! And then it nearly destroyed Apple when you spent all your money on it and developed a grand total of no new products.
Steve Wozniak
The Newton...
Steve Jobs
The little box of garbage. You guys came up with the Newton, you, like, want people to know that. This is a product launch, not a luncheon. And the last thing I want to do is connect the iMac to the...
Steve Wozniak
...to the only successful product that this company has ever made. I'm sorry to be blunt, but that happens to be the truth. The Lisa was a failure, the Macintosh was a failure. I don't like talking like this, but I am tired of being Ringo when I know I was John.
Steve Jobs
Everybody loves Ringo.
Steve Wozniak
And I'm tired of being patronized by you!
Steve Jobs
You think John became John by winning a raffle, Woz? You think he tricked somebody or hit George Harrison over the head? He was John because he was John.
Steve Wozniak
He was John cause he wrote Ticket to Ride', and I wrote the Apple II.
Andrea Cunningham
Everybody! Look, I want to clear the auditorium...
[to the people in the auditorium watching this]
Steve Jobs
Nobody moves! You made a beautiful board which, by the way, you were willing to give out for free, so don't tell me how you built Apple. If it weren't for me, you'd be the easiest A at Homestead High School.
[to Woz]
Steve Wozniak
These people live and die by your praise, so here's your chance: acknowledge that something good happened that you weren't in the room for!
[gesturing around the auditorium]
Steve Jobs
No.
[after a long pause]
Steve Wozniak
Steve... do it! It's right, it's... it's right.
Steve Jobs
Sorry, but no.
Steve Wozniak
Then let me put it another way. I don't think there's a man who's done more to advance the democratization that comes with personal computing than I have, but you've never had any respect for me. Now why is that?
Steve Jobs
I'd at least consider the possibility that it's because you've never had any for me.
Joanna Hoffman
What the hell is going on here?
[suddenly walking into the auditorium]
Steve Wozniak
Nothing. Thank you for your time.

You're issuing contradictory instructions, you're insubordinate, you make people miserable, our top engineers are fleeing to Sun, Dell, HP, Wall Street doesn't know who's driving the bus, we've lost hundreds of millions in value, and I'm the CEO of Apple, Steve, that's my resume.
Steve Jobs
But before that, you sold carbonated sugar water, right? I sat in a fucking garage with Wozniak and invented the future, because artists lead and hacks ask for show of hands!

Defiance Against Persian Threat
Persian Emissary
I am the emissary to the ruler of all the world, the god of gods, king of kings, and by that authority I demand that someone show me your commander! Listen. Do you think the paltry dozen you slew scare us? These hills swarm with our scouts! And do you think your pathetic wall will do anything other than fall like a heap of dry leaves in the face of...
[encountering a group of Greeks building a wall to hold off the Persians; Greeks ignore him; sees that the stone wall is partially made up of Persian corpses]
Stelios
Our ancestors built this wall, using ancient stones from the bosom of Greece herself. And with a little Spartan help, your Persian scouts provided the mortar.
Persian Emissary
You will pay for your barbarism! My arm!
[swings his whip to strike Stelios, who surges forward and cuts off his arm]
Stelios
It's not yours anymore. Go now, run along and tell your Xerxes that he faces free men here, not slaves. Do it quickly, before we decide to make our wall just a little bit bigger.
Persian Emissary
No, not slaves. Your women will be slaves. Your sons, your daughters, your elders will be slaves, but not you. By noon this day, you will all be dead men! The thousand nations of the Persian Empire descend upon you! Our arrows will blot out the sun!
Stelios
Then we will fight in the shade.

Conflict Between Vision and Character
Steve Jobs
You came a half inch from putting this company out of business. Now who do I see about that? I'm letting you keep your job. You get a pass.
[to Steve Wozniak]
Steve Wozniak
You know, when people used to ask me what the difference was between me and Steve Jobs, I would say "Steve was the big picture guy and I liked a solid workbench". When people ask the difference now, I say "Steve’s an asshole". Your products are better than you are, brother.
Steve Jobs
That's the idea, "brother", and knowing that... that's the difference!
Steve Wozniak
It's not binary! You can be decent and gifted at the same time.

Confrontation Over Trust and Deceit
Edwin Epps
Well, boy. I understand I've got a larned nigger that writes letters and tries to get white fellows to mail em. Well, Armsby tol me today the devil was among my niggers. That I had one that needed close watchin or he would run away. When I axed him why, he said you come over to him and waked him up in the middle of the night and wanted him to carry a letter to Marksville. What have yah got to say to that?
[Having awakened Solomon in the middle of the night, Epps coaxes him outside, puts his arm around him as if consoling a friend, and guides him into the woods]
Solomon Northup
There is no truth in it.
Edwin Epps
You say.
Solomon Northup
How could I write a letter without ink or paper? There is nobody I want to write to cause I hain't got no friends living as I know of. That Armsby is a lying drunken fellow. You know this, just as you know that I am constant in truth. Now, master, I can see what that Armsby is after, plain enough. Didn't he want you to hire him for an overseer? That's it. He wants to make you believe we're all going to run away and then he thinks you'll hire an overseer to watch us. He believes you are soft soap. He's given to such talk. I believe he's just made this story out of whole cloth, cause he wants to get a situation. It's all a lie, master, you may depend on't. It's all a lie.
Edwin Epps
Well I'll be damned... Were he not free and white, Platt. Were he not free and white.

Creator and Creation: A Complex Relationship
Shaw Sebastian
Erik, what a pleasant surprise. So good to see you again. May I ask you something? Why are you on their side? Why fight for a doomed race who will hunt us down as soon as they realize their reign is coming to an end? I'm sorry for what happened in the camps. I truly am. But everything I did, I did for you. To unlock your power. To make you embrace it. You've come a long way from bending gates. I'm so proud of you. And your just starting to scratch the surface. Think of how much further we could go, together. I don't want to hurt you, Erik. I never did. I want to help you. This is our time. Our age. We are the future of the human race. You and me, son. This world could be ours.
[Erik enters the void; Erik punches him in the face but their is molecular distortion to his face due to all the nuclear energy harnessed; he shoves Erik backwards causing the wall of the void to crack; shoves him across to another wall causing is to break; lunges metal pillars in front of him to block him; he walks through the pillars with much ease and presses one of them against Erik and get closer to his face]
Erik Lehnsherr
Everything you did made me stronger, it made me the weapon I am today. It's the truth. I've known it all along. You are my creator.
