...that they need someone
to figure out a language for it.

:11:04
Right now
it just sits there and blinks.

:11:11
Whoever talks to this Ed Roberts
has gotta go to Albuquerque to see him.

:11:14
You should go because you look
better for that stuff than I do.

:11:18
- I do not.
- You both look terrible.

:11:20
- Just get used to it.
- What are we supposed to do?

:11:23
It's simple.
You call him and say you're Paul.

:11:26
And then Paul goes to Albuquerque
and says he's Paul.

:11:36
So, what are you gonna say?
:11:40
Hi, Mr. Ed Roberts, please.
:11:43
This is Paul Allen, calling
from Cambridge, Massachusetts.

:11:48
It's our job to find out what this guy
doesn't know that he needs...

:11:52
...but does need and make sure
he knows he does need it...

:11:55

:12:01
- Mr. Roberts?

got one hot product here.

:12:08

:12:12
...from people wanting to come to
work with us on this Altair project.

:12:16
So here's the deal.
:12:19
I snuck two women into my room.
:12:23
And they're naked.
:12:25
I mean, like, really naked.
:12:27
You know, like, gorgeous naked.
:12:32
So don't say I never
did anything for you...

:12:35
...because they're waiting
for you right now.

:12:38
Drop dead, Ballmer.
:12:40
Oh, and I told them...
:12:42
...that you were writing
a computer language...

:12:45
...and right away,
they start moaning for it.

:12:48
"Oh, computer languages.
:12:51
Oh, Fortran.
:12:52
Oh, Fortran."
:12:57
Will you cut it out, Steve.
:12:59
Excuse me, I'm just trying
to save you guys from...
