1. - I'm thinking of
the incredible breakthroughCopy !req
2. which has been made possible by
developments in communications,Copy !req
3. particularly the transistor
and above all,Copy !req
4. the communications satellite.Copy !req
5. These things will
make possible a worldCopy !req
6. in which we can be in instant
contact with each other,Copy !req
7. wherever we may be.Copy !req
8. It will be possible in that age,Copy !req
9. perhaps only 50 years from now,Copy !req
10. for a man to conduct
his business from Tahiti or BaliCopy !req
11. just as well
as he could from London.Copy !req
12. In fact,
if it proves worthwhile,Copy !req
13. almost any executive skill,Copy !req
14. any administrative skill,Copy !req
15. even any physical skill,Copy !req
16. could be made
independent of distance.Copy !req
17. When that time comes,Copy !req
18. the whole world will have
shrunk to a point.Copy !req
19. And the traditional role
of the cityCopy !req
20. as a meeting place for manCopy !req
21. would have ceased to make
any sense.Copy !req
22. In fact, men will
no longer commute.Copy !req
23. They will communicate.Copy !req
24. - Fuck's sake.
- We're not late!Copy !req
25. - No, I know,
but I'm going to throw up.Copy !req
26. - Okay.Copy !req
27. Shit!Copy !req
28. - Matt Sundin is the sleepiest
of all out there.Copy !req
29. He's proven NHL talent but not
scoring like the Leafs need —Copy !req
30. - Your 9:00 is here.
- Where's Brock?Copy !req
31. - His office.
- Mr. Balsillie?Copy !req
32. You wanted to see this report.
- Talk to Shelly.Copy !req
33. Integrated circuits...Copy !req
34. - Well, I finally understand
that quote,Copy !req
35. When you grow up,
your heart dies.Copy !req
36. That's from "Breakfast Club."
John Hughes.Copy !req
37. - Do you hear that?Copy !req
38. - Uh, yeah.Copy !req
39. You talk about that buzzing?
- Mm.Copy !req
40. - It's an office, I'm sure they
got a million little buzzes.Copy !req
41. - Mm.
- It's a subtle buzzing.Copy !req
42. - There.
- You've identified it.Copy !req
43. - Mm.
- What?Copy !req
44. Made in China —
the mark of the beast?Copy !req
45. Uh... Um...Copy !req
46. Mike?
- I can't concentrate.Copy !req
47. - And so what?
Are you going to fix this?Copy !req
48. - I'm going to fix it.
- Uh, now's not the time.Copy !req
49. The meeting starts in,
like, two minutes.Copy !req
50. Now's not the time.
Now's not the time.Copy !req
51. Now's not the time.
- Okay?Copy !req
52. I need, like, a paper clip.Copy !req
53. - That's a guy's thing.
That's a guy's fucking thing.Copy !req
54. - It has no off switch.
That means it's always on.Copy !req
55. So it's just always buzzing.
- Uh-huh. Yeah.Copy !req
56. Um... Well,Copy !req
57. Yeah, go fast.Copy !req
58. - You can tell him he's
not going — —Copy !req
59. He's not going to get steel.Copy !req
60. Alloys, Harry!Copy !req
61. I'll call you back.Copy !req
62. - They're outside.Copy !req
63. - These guys really
are Dutch, huh?Copy !req
64. Listen, Rick, I've thought
about this a lot.Copy !req
65. And if these guys take the deal,Copy !req
66. I want to run the new division.Copy !req
67. - Think you can run this place?Copy !req
68. - Yes! Yes!Copy !req
69. - Me too.Copy !req
70. Just so we're clear,
if this thing doesn't go,Copy !req
71. we never had this conversation.Copy !req
72. - Great. Great. Um...Copy !req
73. - Thank you.Copy !req
74. - There's one adjustment.Copy !req
75. Apparently the Americans
offered themCopy !req
76. some fancy tax splitting plan,Copy !req
77. so we need to show them
the Canadian version.Copy !req
78. - I don't have that.
- No, no.Copy !req
79. - Callahan worked
something up last minute.Copy !req
80. We're going to bring him in
to explain it.Copy !req
81. - Callahan.
Uh...Copy !req
82. You know what?
I think that's a bad idea.Copy !req
83. - Why is that?Copy !req
84. - I tell you what, Rick,
why don't you haveCopy !req
85. Callahan explain
the tax thing to meCopy !req
86. and I'll just — I'll work it
into my pitch.Copy !req
87. I think that's better.
- Kyle was up all nightCopy !req
88. putting this together
as a favor to me.Copy !req
89. He gets to present.
- Rick, I mean...Copy !req
90. You're going to have
this guy present to Stork?Copy !req
91. I mean, he looks like a..
fucking, a total goof.Copy !req
92. - Jim...
I'm not asking.Copy !req
93. - Okay, great.Copy !req
94. - Okay. Bald, scary looking guy
walking towards us right now.Copy !req
95. - God damn it!
- Mike?Copy !req
96. - Yeah. Got it.Copy !req
97. - Watch the fuck out!
- Oh, shit.Copy !req
98. Sit down. Sit down.Copy !req
99. - Much better.Copy !req
100. - Yeah. What can I do for you?Copy !req
101. - Yes. Hi.Copy !req
102. I'm Mike Lazaridis,
CEO of Research in Motion.Copy !req
103. We create various
computer hardware systemsCopy !req
104. using both custom
design integrated circuits,Copy !req
105. as well as off
the shelf componentsCopy !req
106. provided by major hardware
vendors such as Intel,Copy !req
107. American Micro Devices
and CYRIX.Copy !req
108. Our clients have included
US Robotics,Copy !req
109. Rogers Cantel, RAM Mobile.Copy !req
110. - Just a second.Copy !req
111. Hey, you're on
Callahan's desk, right?Copy !req
112. Okay, great.
This is Jim Balsillie.Copy !req
113. Brock wanted me to do
a quick proof of that tax stuffCopy !req
114. before the meeting.
Could you bring me a —Copy !req
115. Exactly.Copy !req
116. Okay, great. Thanks.Copy !req
117. Okay, uh, what is this?Copy !req
118. - So w-we had a shop teacher...Copy !req
119. who told us —
oh, we had a shop teacherCopy !req
120. in high school named
Mr. Moshinsky,Copy !req
121. who told us the person who puts
a computer inside a phoneCopy !req
122. will change the world.Copy !req
123. Well, we have a plan
to piggybackCopy !req
124. on the unused bandwidth
of the UHF spectrumCopy !req
125. to create an all
in one mobile device.Copy !req
126. - Adam Callahan's assistantCopy !req
127. is here to see you?
- Send him in.Copy !req
128. Great.
- Sorry, Mr. Balsillie.Copy !req
129. No one — I didn't realize you
needed a copy ofCopy !req
130. this tax report also —
- I'm in a meeting right now.Copy !req
131. Okay.Copy !req
132. - So, basically there is
a freeCopy !req
133. wireless Internet signal
all across North America,Copy !req
134. and nobody has figured out
how to use it.Copy !req
135. There's free Internet
in this room right now.Copy !req
136. - Mm-hmm.Copy !req
137. - It's like the force.Copy !req
138. Sorry. Have you seen
"Star Wars"?Copy !req
139. - No.Copy !req
140. - So, okay, picture a pager,Copy !req
141. a cell phone and an email
machine, all in one thing.Copy !req
142. - We call it, um, Pocket Link.Copy !req
143. - Okay, listen, we don't do
anything like that here.Copy !req
144. We are a commercial
manufacturing company.Copy !req
145. You want to talk
to a VC guy?Copy !req
146. And you need a better name.Copy !req
147. - You're going to cry?
Mike!Copy !req
148. Oh, it's just disappointment?
- Yeah.Copy !req
149. - You did great!Copy !req
150. Well, I saw that Rick sent
the limo to pick you guys up.Copy !req
151. We must need this merger
worse than I thought.Copy !req
152. So, I know we have
a lot to cover,Copy !req
153. but I thought we should start
with our tax strategy.Copy !req
154. Now, I'm sure you heard it
from the Americans,Copy !req
155. but let me assure you,
we also know how toCopy !req
156. cheat on our taxes
here in Canada.Copy !req
157. Okay?Copy !req
158. Here's what we can do:Copy !req
159. We run payroll out of Ontario,Copy !req
160. but we pay all our vendors
from the Netherlands.Copy !req
161. We split that fucker
right in half.Copy !req
162. The left won't know
what the right is doing.Copy !req
163. Plus, we get a nice
little provincialCopy !req
164. kickback on manufacturing labor.Copy !req
165. We get a massive
federal tax creditCopy !req
166. because they don't know whether
they're private or public.Copy !req
167. - Beam me aboard!Copy !req
168. - Prisoner, and held captive
within the digital world ofCopy !req
169. the computer itself.Copy !req
170. - Hello!

171. you just touch and talk?
- ♪ I don't understandCopy !req
172. - You can use your cellular phone
to order me a pizza.Copy !req
173. - And that includes
50 minutes of air time.Copy !req
174. - We'll page you.
- Well, it's very hip to beCopy !req
175. on the Internet right now.Copy !req
176. - I still think
Apple has a future.Copy !req
177. The way out is not to slash
and burn, it's to innovate.Copy !req
178. - Oh, okay. Here's what I think.Copy !req
179. Mike, super simple.
Hit him with the good news,Copy !req
180. bad news routine —
good news, bad news routine.Copy !req
181. All right? You're going to
say good — Mike?Copy !req
182. What?Copy !req
183. Everything's going to be fine.Copy !req
184. We still have
the US Robotics deal.Copy !req

186. "Diamond in the rough"?
Fuck!Copy !req
187. - What?

188. - No, we have to change the name.
Product needs a new name.Copy !req
189. - You're giving that guy
way too much credit, man.Copy !req
190. He hasn't seen "Star Wars."
He's bald.Copy !req
191. How much you want to bet they
don't even mention the phone.Copy !req
192. - Are you office dad?Copy !req
193. - Dude. Okay.
Make a make a — make a thing.Copy !req
194. Make a "Scott sucks" —
- I can't.Copy !req
195. That's why I'm using

197. - That's me.Copy !req
198. This guy's telling me
about sniffing his —Copy !req
199. Sniffing his —Copy !req
200. - Did they buy the phone?Copy !req
201. - So, we've got good news
and bad news.Copy !req
202. The — okay,
the bad news is that,Copy !req
203. yeah, the presentation,
we were not heard,Copy !req
204. and they did not understand
the product,Copy !req
205. and so
they did not buy the phone.Copy !req
206. - What was the good news?
- What's the good news?Copy !req

216. "Bad dates."
- Bad dates.Copy !req
217. - Couple of bad dates.
- A couple bad dates!Copy !req
218. Couple bad dates!
- That was — that was there.Copy !req
219. Why did they go the other way?
That was like that...Copy !req
220. - Mike, you're missing
your favorite movie, man!Copy !req
221. - Toronto wins it by a count
of 5 to 4.Copy !req
222. Doug Gilmour adds three assists
to his fiveCopy !req
223. to finish the game with 30...Copy !req
224. in the extra period.Copy !req
225. But obviously the story was —Copy !req
226. - Are they top or bottom left?Copy !req
227. - Go, I got my whole group.Copy !req
228. - Send — Send everything.
Top left.Copy !req
229. Let's take.
Let's take a gamble.Copy !req
230. We'll go for Scott.
- Does anybody haveCopy !req
231. a type-c coax?
- They don't even knowCopy !req
232. I'm not even top left.
- Scott, you're attacking me.Copy !req
233. - What?
- You're attacking me.Copy !req
234. - Oh, I'm sorry.

247. - Thank you.
- Thank you so much.Copy !req
248. - Nothing for me.
Thanks.Copy !req
249. So I know
how to sell your phone.Copy !req
250. I know how to market it, and I
know who we can sell it to.Copy !req
251. - Who?
- What do you mean, we?Copy !req
252. - Here's the deal.Copy !req
253. I will leave my job
at Sutherland Schultz.Copy !req
254. If you make me CEO
of Research in Motion.Copy !req
255. - Are you serious?Copy !req
256. - That was the worst product
pitch I've ever seen in my life.Copy !req
257. You guys don't stand
a chance out there.Copy !req
258. You need me.Copy !req
259. - Sorry. I don't know
who you think you are,Copy !req
260. but we are just fine.Copy !req

263. - Wow. Okay.
And what did they buy?Copy !req
264. - Modems.
Ever heard of them?Copy !req
265. - Are they like the force
in "Star Wars"?Copy !req
266. - Very funny. You know,
your logo literally is SS.Copy !req
267. - And how much have they paid you
on that $16 million?Copy !req
268. - Yeah. Nothing.
- Zero?Copy !req
269. - Nothing yet.
We haven't delivered the modems.Copy !req
270. - Well, we shipped them
product samples months ago,Copy !req
271. and their accounting department
won't even returnCopy !req
272. our phone calls.
- Yeah, but they're gonna —Copy !req
273. What's going on?
They're going to pay us.Copy !req
274. We have a $16 million deal
with US Robotics.Copy !req
275. - Yeah, so, uh, you guys are
getting fucked.Copy !req
276. - Why would you — why do you
think — why do you say that?Copy !req
277. - Well, because I would
do the same thing.Copy !req
278. Little operation like yours.Copy !req
279. They know they can
withhold paymentCopy !req
280. till the last possible second
and then crush you.Copy !req
281. These guys, they're...
They're pirates.Copy !req
282. - Uh-huh...Copy !req
283. - We got it. Thank you.
Um...Copy !req
284. How do you know anything —Copy !req

No. No!Copy !req

296. - Oh, I mean, technically —

297. and he says no.Copy !req
298. - I am in charge.Copy !req
299. And I say...Copy !req
300. - Sorry.Copy !req
301. - You don't need to do

302. We just met him.
He's not your dad!Copy !req
303. - Okay...Copy !req
304. - Thanks. Thank you.Copy !req

306. Wouldn't you say?Copy !req
307. He had a —
He had a sass.Copy !req

or whatever, like —Copy !req
309. - Oh, no. I sassed him too,
but he sassed me back.Copy !req
310. Like, what's he trying to say?
We don't have our modem deal?Copy !req
311. - US Robotics.
How may I direct your call?Copy !req
312. - Yeah, it's Mike Lazaridis

some circuit boardsCopy !req
314. for you guys.

319. of our — your order
from us, if — if —Copy !req
320. can — can we invoice you
for some some of our —Copy !req
321. your order.
Oh, what?Copy !req
322. What?
- If that's okay?Copy !req
323. - Did you not get my fax?Copy !req
324. - We don't have a fax machine.Copy !req
325. - Mike, those modems
you sent us back in March,Copy !req
326. they were defective.
- I'm sorry. What?Copy !req
327. - Yeah, they didn't work.Copy !req
328. We had to cancel
the whole order.Copy !req
329. But this was months ago, buddy.Copy !req
330. I really thought you guys
had a fax machine.Copy !req
331. Hey, I tell you what, why don't
you let me make it up to you?Copy !req
332. I'll have USR send you one
free of charge on me. Okay?Copy !req
333. - Um... Yeah. Okay. Thanks.Copy !req
334. - Great. Okay, well,
good luck, Mike.Copy !req

"Glengarry Glen Ross" this guy.Copy !req
340. You got to grind him.Copy !req
341. - Yeah...
I don't think I can grind him.Copy !req
342. - This is exactly what that
Rolex guy saidCopy !req
343. was going to happen, right?Copy !req
344. He predicted it!
What did he say?Copy !req
345. He said US Robotics are pirates.Copy !req
346. He was fucking dead on.Copy !req
347. - Yeah.Copy !req
348. All right.Copy !req
349. - Hey, Steve? Steve?

355. - No!Copy !req
356. No —Copy !req
357. So...Copy !req
358. You don't get into business
with people like this.Copy !req
359. That guy is sketchy.
- I think he's...Copy !req
360. I don't think he's sketchy.Copy !req
361. - His business card
is literally sketched out.Copy !req
362. The guy's a shark.Copy !req
363. - Okay. Do you know...Copy !req
364. Do you know who's
afraid of sharks?Copy !req
365. Pirates.Copy !req

375. I pick one!
Is that the quote?Copy !req
376. No. I look at 100 deals a day!

387. - Yeah?
- Hi, Jim.Copy !req
388. It's Mike Lazaridis
from Research in Motion.Copy !req

391. 33% of our company for $125,000,Copy !req

Awesome! Dude!Copy !req
398. Mike! Scott! Scott?
He did it!Copy !req
399. - What do you mean?Copy !req
400. - Have you not heard anything
that's been going onCopy !req
401. in this room?Copy !req
402. - You can have,
like, two minutesCopy !req
403. - Maybe you should tell them
about the modems.Copy !req
404. - Oh, where do you want to
put him?Copy !req
405. - What the fuck is this?Copy !req
406. - That's a — yeah,
everyone builds their own desk.Copy !req
407. That's — that's a tradition.
- Yeah, I'm not doing that.Copy !req
408. - US Robotics pulled
out of the deal.Copy !req
409. - Told you.
What's our exposure?Copy !req
410. - Exposure?
- How much moneyCopy !req
411. did you spend on the modems?Copy !req
412. - Oh, $1.6 million.Copy !req
413. - One point what?
- What?Copy !req
414. - Spent $1.6 million
on materials and labor.Copy !req
415. - Where did you get $1.6 million?Copy !req
416. - I got a loan
from the Bank of Montreal.Copy !req
417. - Mike, come on.Copy !req
418. - Get me US Robotics!Copy !req
419. - S— Sorry,
who are you talking to?Copy !req
420. - Yeah.Copy !req
421. - What the fuck is that?Copy !req
422. - Oh, it's called a carrier wave.
The calling modem is a —Copy !req
423. - Hey! Get off
the fucking Internet!Copy !req
424. - Yeah.
- Mike?Copy !req
425. - I think it's Casey.
- Uh-huh.Copy !req
426. - It's going to be fine, no,
it's going to be fine.Copy !req
427. You don't get to talk
to our team like that.Copy !req
428. You just get to talk -
- Mike!Copy !req
429. - Hi. Actually, no.
This is Jim Balsillie.Copy !req
430. I'm the CEO here now.
- Co-CEO.Copy !req
431. - Okay, Jim,
what can I do for you?Copy !req
432. - I want to talk
about these modems.Copy !req
433. - Well, there's nothing
to talk about, sadly —Copy !req
434. w-we can't accept
the defective product.Copy !req
435. - Let's cut the bullshit here.
$2.5 million, all in,Copy !req
436. for the entire order.
- Yeah. No, can't do it, Jim.Copy !req
437. - Then I'll decimate it for you.
$1.6 million.Copy !req
438. And if you don't take that,
I'll turn around and sell themCopy !req
439. to Rockwell for even less.Copy !req
440. - That's negotiation.Copy !req
441. - Okay, how about this?
We'll take the modemsCopy !req
442. if you throw in the patent
on Mike's phone.Copy !req
443. - What phone?Copy !req
444. - I thought we weren't
bullshitting each other, Jim.Copy !req
445. We've been building our own
for a year, we want M—Copy !req
446. - How long to build a prototype
of the phone?Copy !req
447. - The Pocket Link?
Yeah — a year.Copy !req
448. - No, no, no.
A prototype, Mike.Copy !req
449. A shell
I can wave around in a meeting.Copy !req
450. It could be
a complete piece of shit.Copy !req
451. - No, it —
we're not doing that.Copy !req
452. - No, we're...
Mike's not doing that.Copy !req
453. - L-listen to me: US Robotics is
building their own phone.Copy !req
454. We are now in a race
to get this thing to market,Copy !req
455. and we are a year behind.Copy !req
456. So I don't care
what you need to do.Copy !req
457. Get these fucking nerds
to drop everythingCopy !req
458. and build this fucking phone!Copy !req
459. What?Copy !req
460. - Sorry, guys, um...Copy !req
461. My girlfriend tried to cash
my check this morningCopy !req
462. and it bounced, and she saidCopy !req
463. I'm not supposed
to come in here — allowed —Copy !req
464. I shouldn't come
in here anymore.Copy !req
465. And she agreed, I won't be
coming in here any longerCopy !req
466. until I'm getting paid.
- Whoa!Copy !req
467. I can fix this.Copy !req
468. - Okay, Research in Motion.Copy !req
469. It looks like your account has
exceeded its overdraft balance.Copy !req
470. - Didn't they just deposit
a check for $125,000 from me?Copy !req
471. - Yes.Copy !req
472. - Okay. All right.
Um...Copy !req
473. I have a mortgage with you guys.
Can we pull that up, please?Copy !req
474. - Spell your last name, please.Copy !req
475. - B-A-L-S-I-L-L-I-E.Copy !req
476. - "Ball-SILLY"?
- "BAHLS-lee"Copy !req
477. - Anybody gonna miss this
red chair?Copy !req
478. - No.
- You're good.Copy !req
479. - Different guys,
different piece.Copy !req
480. - All right, everybody,
listen up.Copy !req
481. From now on, checks will be
coming every two weeks.Copy !req
482. You will come get them
from Shelly.Copy !req
483. This is Shelly.
- Hi.Copy !req
484. - All right.
That's you, Shell.Copy !req
485. Mike!Copy !req
486. - Me too?
- Yeah, sure.Copy !req
487. - Sorry. Who —
So, who is Shelly?Copy !req
488. - Shelly?Copy !req
489. - Oh, dude,
that thing's haunting you.Copy !req
490. - No, I'm motivating you.Copy !req
491. And don't call me that thing.
I'm your boss.Copy !req
492. - No. No, you're not.
- Yeah?Copy !req
493. - Get me John Woodman
at Bell Atlantic.Copy !req
494. - You got it.
- Wait, um, what are you doing?Copy !req
495. - We are selling the phone.
Mike, I need a prototype.Copy !req
496. - I told you, I don't —
- Mike?Copy !req
497. - Connecting you.Copy !req
498. - Guys, -we are over $1 million
in debt with no assets,Copy !req
499. no contracts and no products.Copy !req
500. - John Woodman's office.
- Hi, this is Jim Balsillie,Copy !req
501. CEO of Research in Motion.
- Co-CEO.Copy !req
502. - One moment, please.Copy !req
503. Okay?
- Yeah, I —Copy !req
504. - No! He said there's no phone!
- I'm not asking you!Copy !req
505. Mike.Copy !req
506. - Okay.
- "Okay" —Copy !req
507. wh-what do you mean, okay?Copy !req
508. No, no, wait. Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.Copy !req
509. Wait, wait, wait a minute.
Wait a minute.Copy !req
510. - John Whitman.
- Mr. Woodman, I am aboutCopy !req
511. to make you insanely rich.Copy !req
512. - Mike does not agree with this?
- He just fucking did!Copy !req
513. - That was duress! Okay?
You're manipulating him!Copy !req
514. It's obvious!
What do you want me to do?Copy !req
515. - Uh...
- What?Copy !req
516. - So there's a reason
why your intercomCopy !req
517. is emitting white noise.Copy !req
518. It's because it was
manufactured in ChinaCopy !req
519. by engineers who didn't care.Copy !req
520. And now every office
in the worldCopy !req
521. has to suffer an annoying hiss,Copy !req
522. a blinking red light,
15 different power cordsCopy !req
523. that are utterly incompatible
with one another.Copy !req
524. So we're not doing that.Copy !req
525. We are not just adding
to the hiss.Copy !req
526. I will build a prototype,Copy !req
527. but I'll do it perfectly
or I don't do it.Copy !req
528. - Mike, are you familiar
with the sayingCopy !req
529. "perfect is the enemy of good"?Copy !req
530. - Well, good enough
is the enemy of humanity.Copy !req
531. Shelley, get John Woodman
back on, please.Copy !req
532. - So I reach out,
hang up the phone.Copy !req
533. He looks up at me like,
"Are you ready to die?"Copy !req
534. - No, no, no, no.Copy !req
535. And I'm prepared to die on it.Copy !req
536. Right?
Mike steps in between us,Copy !req
537. brings the glasses down
and goes,Copy !req
538. "Bitch, I tell you, when we set
the goddamn meeting."Copy !req
539. And he backs off.Copy !req
540. - Oh!
- All right!Copy !req
541. Woodman wants to see it.Copy !req
542. We're going to
Bell Atlantic tomorrow.Copy !req
543. - Wait, what?
- New York City tomorrow.Copy !req
544. - But he said —
- You have till 8:00 a.m.Copy !req
545. - T-to do what?Copy !req
546. - So, you didn't call him
a bitch, did you?Copy !req
547. - Okay. Okay.Copy !req
548. Okay, new plan, everybody.Copy !req
549. We are all going to chip in
and build this thing tonight.Copy !req
550. Okay?Copy !req
551. - All right, give me
a Fillmore toggle switch.Copy !req
552. Give me 33PF, uh...
- Yeah.Copy !req
553. - I think it's like
something kind ofCopy !req
554. like a hybrid of one.
So I like the...Copy !req
555. - I thought you were playing
"Civ."Copy !req
556. - We're back.Copy !req
557. - I've got something for you.Copy !req
558. - That's why to me,
like, remote controls...Copy !req
559. - Buttons be small enough that...Copy !req
560. - Got some spurs,
neural connections lost.Copy !req
561. - You taking it off?
- Yeah.Copy !req
562. I'll see you guys tomorrow.
- Yeah.Copy !req
563. - So adding the lithium ion
does what...Copy !req
564. - Still hot. Still hot.Copy !req
565. I had a dream we were rich.Copy !req
566. And sometimes my dreams occur
exactly as I dreamt them.Copy !req
567. - Let's go!Copy !req
568. - What's that from?Copy !req
569. - "Dune."Copy !req
570. - A-ha!Copy !req
571. - You'll get dressed
at the airport.Copy !req
572. - Yeah. Thank you.Copy !req
573. - Should Doug, come with us or—Copy !req
574. - No.Copy !req
575. - Because he has a lot
to do with this.Copy !req
576. - He's a goof.
Get in the car.Copy !req
577. - Yeah, I think
he really wants to come.Copy !req
578. - Let me tell you the best
advice I ever got at Harvard.Copy !req
579. You want to be great,
you need to sacrifice.Copy !req
580. The more painful the sacrifice,
the greater you'll be.Copy !req
581. - He — he's my best friend.Copy !req
582. - Okay, great. I saw him put
a toilet plunger on a computer.Copy !req
583. - Attention passengers
on AC42 to New York,Copy !req
584. your flight
is now boarding.Copy !req
585. - Aww, come on.Copy !req
586. So, if you hear me
crinkling a piece of paper,Copy !req
587. that means stop talking.Copy !req
588. - Like, in general or...Copy !req
589. - No, in —
In the pitch.Copy !req
590. - Oh, yeah. Gotcha.Copy !req
591. - Hey, we got to move here, man!
My wife's in labor!Copy !req
592. Let's go!Copy !req
593. - May — may I ask why your
business cardCopy !req
594. had the phone number
crossed out?Copy !req
595. - I have no idea
what you're talking about.Copy !req
596. - Hey, let's make a deal, okay?Copy !req
597. You and I never lie
to each other.Copy !req
598. - Sure.Copy !req
599. I didn't quit my job.Copy !req
600. I was fired.Copy !req
601. And I just mortgaged
my house to pay our staff.Copy !req
602. So, if this doesn't work out,
I'm fucked.Copy !req
603. - Why did they fire you?Copy !req
604. - Because they're idiots.Copy !req
605. - Hi! Research in Motion?
- How are you?Copy !req
606. - Fantastic.
Can I get you anything?Copy !req
607. Coffee? Water?
- We're good. We're good.Copy !req
608. - Okay.
They'll be with you shortly.Copy !req
609. - Okay. Thank you. Great.
- All right.Copy !req
610. - Jim?
- No, no, no, no.Copy !req
611. Never take the drinks.Copy !req
612. Thirst is a display of weakness.Copy !req
613. - No, I may have
forgotten the phone.Copy !req
614. - Please tell me you're joking.
- No, I'm completely serious.Copy !req
615. - Fuck!Copy !req
616. - All right,
here's what we're going to do.Copy !req
617. I need you to draw out
a little sketch.Copy !req
618. - Okay.
- Okay? Something that showsCopy !req
619. the keyboard
just like you did in my office.Copy !req
620. - Okay. Yeah. Okay.Copy !req
621. - Excuse me, miss.
Can I trouble youCopy !req
622. for a pen and paper, please?Copy !req
623. - They're ready for you.Copy !req
624. - Great.Copy !req
625. - Yeah. Yeah, that's right.Copy !req
626. Oh, wait, wait. Here he is.Copy !req
627. - Don't worry, okay.
- Hey.Copy !req
628. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
629. - How are you?
- Good.Copy !req
630. Good. We, uh —
are we waiting for anyone?Copy !req
631. - I'm alone.Copy !req
632. - Okay.Copy !req
633. - Good. All right, guys.Copy !req
634. Here's how I see it.Copy !req
635. All right,
now, I know your marketing teamCopy !req
636. tells you that you sell
togetherness,Copy !req
637. family or staying connected
or whatever,Copy !req
638. but let's be honest:Copy !req
639. you sell minutes, period.Copy !req
640. I mean, your market is minutes,Copy !req
641. so your biggest competitor isn't
other cell phone companies,Copy !req
642. it's home phones
and office phones.Copy !req
643. Those are free minutes.
Those are wasted minutes.Copy !req
644. So how do we get
those minutes back?Copy !req
645. We reinvent the cell phone.Copy !req
646. We put a computer in it.
We put the Internet in it.Copy !req
647. We make your cell phone
so fucking usefulCopy !req
648. that you never have to come
to the office again.Copy !req
649. Does email, text messaging,
however you want to communicate;Copy !req
650. total individualism
all in one device —Copy !req
651. that fits in your fist.Copy !req
652. So, you can tell
your marketing teamCopy !req
653. you're not selling
togetherness anymore.Copy !req
654. You're selling self-reliance.Copy !req
655. - Uh...Copy !req
656. You are not a tech guy,
are you?Copy !req
657. - I'm not a —Copy !req
658. - The whole world...Copy !req
659. The whole fucking worldCopy !req
660. is trying to do emails
on a cell phone.Copy !req
661. We had an entire division
working on it for,Copy !req
662. I don't know,
eight months or so.Copy !req
663. You know how many phones they
got to work at the same time?Copy !req
664. 11.Copy !req
665. I mean, it's a network
that's built for pagers.Copy !req
666. That's all it can do.Copy !req
667. You're in la la land on —
on this one, you know,Copy !req
668. you got — I think, you know,
some nerds took you for a ride.Copy !req
669. - Okay.Copy !req
670. Mike?
- What happened?Copy !req
671. - It won't work.
- What do you mean it won't work?Copy !req
672. - Mike? They tried it already.
- How did you try this already?Copy !req
673. - Guys, I think
the meeting's over.Copy !req
674. - Did you just put your devices.
directly on the networkCopy !req
675. as though they were clients?Copy !req
676. - That's right.
- Yeah, right.Copy !req
677. So what did that get you?
Like, ten phones workingCopy !req
678. at the same time?Copy !req
679. - Uh, yeah.
- Yeah. Okay, here,Copy !req
680. just hold this a second.
Okay, so here's your issue.Copy !req
681. When — when you use a phone
as a client, what's it doing?Copy !req
682. It's just sitting on your
network constantly askingCopy !req
683. the same question:
Did I get an email?Copy !req
684. Did I get an email?
Did I get an email?Copy !req
685. So it is forever
pulling on your serversCopy !req
686. whether you got an email or not.Copy !req
687. We have a fix.
Okay?Copy !req
688. So we are going to build
a giant computerCopy !req
689. that will act as a sort of
massive clientCopy !req
690. that is hardwired directly
to the InternetCopy !req
691. with our phone as server.Copy !req
692. Okay, so when a user
gets an email,Copy !req
693. Waterloo pulls it in,
packages it,Copy !req
694. and then...Copy !req
695. sends it.Copy !req
696. We engage with your networkCopy !req
697. maybe a split second, like...Copy !req
698. like, less time than that.Copy !req
699. - So how — how much —
I'm sorry, how many —Copy !req
700. - A month's worth of traffic
would be less bandwidthCopy !req
701. than a local phone call.Copy !req
702. So you could have half a million
devices working simultaneously.Copy !req
703. - Can we see it?
- Yeah. So it's a prototype.Copy !req
704. So it's a long way off from,
um...Copy !req
705. Oh, it's just a long,
long way off —Copy !req
706. the prototype.Copy !req
707. - Well, it's definitely
the world's largest pager.Copy !req
708. - No, it's actually the world's
smallest email terminal.Copy !req
709. Sorry.Copy !req
710. - I see.
This is a...Copy !req
711. Oh, this — this —Copy !req
712. Yeah. Oh.Copy !req
713. - So, try with your thumbs.
Try typing with your thumbs.Copy !req
714. - Oh, yeah.Copy !req
715. What do you call it?Copy !req
716. - It's called a BlackBerry,Copy !req
717. it sends and receives
email messages.Copy !req
718. It is also a cell phone.Copy !req
719. - Morning, Mr. Balsillie.Copy !req
720. - Good morning, Mr. Balsillie.
- Good morning, Mr. Balsillie.Copy !req
721. - Mike's here before me?Copy !req
722. - He didn't leave last night.Copy !req
723. You are mentioned on page nine.Copy !req
724. Carl Yankowski from Palm Pilot
keeps calling.Copy !req
725. Yeah, well, tell him if he wants
to talk to me,Copy !req
726. he can come to Waterloo.
- That's what I said.Copy !req
727. Ted Rogers wants to have lunch
in the city. He booked Canoe.Copy !req
728. - No, no, I'm not —
I'm not going to fucking TorontoCopy !req
729. unless there's a game.
Oh, and call Gary Bettman'sCopy !req
730. office about those Leaf tickets.Copy !req
731. Fucker tried to stick me
in the third row.Copy !req
732. - "Fucker, third row."
Got it.Copy !req
733. - All right, try 114 and 114.Copy !req
734. - Okay. Go for 114.Copy !req
735. - Okay. Sending.Copy !req
736. - Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.Copy !req
737. Boys!Copy !req
738. Done! Done! Yes! Yes! Come on.Copy !req
739. - Hey. Hey, Jim.Copy !req
740. Yeah, we, uh,
we built a messenger,Copy !req
741. fully encrypted
two-way messagingCopy !req
742. that is absolutely
inaccessible by anyone,Copy !req
743. including us.
It is — it is —Copy !req
744. untrackable, untraceable,
unhackable.Copy !req
745. - It's texting.Copy !req
746. - Uh — so — so, no.Copy !req
747. Do you know how much it costs
to send a text message?Copy !req
748. - Yeah, 10 cents, and the network
gets every penny.Copy !req
749. We're never going
to see that money.Copy !req
750. - Right, but these texts
are sent via data.Copy !req
751. So, behind the network's back.
Which means...?Copy !req
752. - Unlimited free texting,
only on BlackBerry.Copy !req
753. Fuck yes!Copy !req
754. - Hey!Copy !req
755. - Fuck yes!Copy !req
756. - I sent a message
that Alexander Graham BellCopy !req
757. said to his assistant,
"Watson, come here."Copy !req
758. That's what I —
- Alright, let's just —Copy !req
759. Let's just...
- Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
760. What the hell
are you guys doing?Copy !req
761. - Sorry. Who are you?Copy !req
762. - You said if I wanted to talk,
I had to come to Waterloo.Copy !req
763. So, here I am.Copy !req
764. - Gentlemen...Copy !req
765. Meet Carl Yankowski
of Palm Pilot.Copy !req
766. - Oh, really.Copy !req
767. - Doug.Copy !req
768. - How are you doing?Copy !req
769. - So, I just said three words:
two liter bottle.Copy !req
770. And you know what they said?
They said —Copy !req
771. "Carl, nobody drinks
two liters of Mountain Dew."Copy !req
772. I mean, they didn't see
what I saw.Copy !req
773. Large pizza, big soda,
complete dinner.Copy !req
774. We sold a billion liters
in a month!Copy !req
775. You playing with yourself
under there, Mikey?Copy !req
776. All right, let's clear
the air here.Copy !req
777. I had nothing to do with
US RoboticsCopy !req
778. trying to bankrupt you
back in '96.Copy !req
779. Defective modems,
working modems.Copy !req
780. Were they defective?Copy !req
781. No, it was 100 years ago.
Who's to say?Copy !req
782. - Me.Copy !req
783. - Exactly.Copy !req
784. Here's what we do.Copy !req
785. Combine BlackBerry
and Palm Pilot,Copy !req
786. one product.Copy !req
787. It's the two liter bottle
of smartphones.Copy !req
788. - Would I still have complete
control over every aspectCopy !req
789. of engineering and design?Copy !req
790. - No.
Okay, well, then that's gonna—Copy !req
791. we won't be able to move
ahead with this, I'm sorry.Copy !req
792. Sorry.Copy !req
793. - You guys love saying sorry,
don't you?Copy !req
794. Okay, let's see
what you closed at.Copy !req
795. $4.50. Oh, God.
Is that Canadian?Copy !req
796. US Robotics...Copy !req
797. Huh, $83.Copy !req
798. Now, that gives us a market cap
about $45 billion.Copy !req
799. So what would happen
if I just...Copy !req
800. I don't know,
bought up all your shares.Copy !req
801. And what's the word
for that again, sportCopy !req
802. Hostile takeover.Copy !req
803. - Hostile take—
What the fuck?Copy !req
804. What is happening?Copy !req
805. - We would just say —
we could just say no.Copy !req
806. We ow—
We own the company.Copy !req
807. - You know, Carl,Copy !req
808. you've got a deal.
- Yeah?Copy !req
809. - Yeah. Just give us a couple of
months to get our peopleCopy !req
810. taken care of
and then we'll, uh,Copy !req
811. we'll agree to a private sale.Copy !req
812. - Wait, just —
- Mike, it's okay.Copy !req
813. It's okay.
It's better to get rich nowCopy !req
814. than to fight this guy in court
for the next five years.Copy !req
815. That's right.
You know, I like you.Copy !req
816. - You like hockey?Copy !req
817. - God, no.
It's moronic.Copy !req
818. You?Copy !req
819. - Hate it.Copy !req
820. - I have come here to chew
bubble gum and kick ass.Copy !req
821. And I'm all out of
bubble gum.Copy !req
822. - Oh, they based Duke Nukem
on this guy.Copy !req
823. Like, that is Duke Nukem
for real.Copy !req
824. - Okay.
Party's over.Copy !req
825. - Has a shotgun.
White male, 30.Copy !req
826. - What?
- Listen up.Copy !req
827. Turn that thing off, please.Copy !req
828. - Wait —
- Can you — can you —Copy !req
829. - Turn it off.Copy !req
830. - Al, can you slide it?Copy !req
831. - Yeah.
- You guys havin' funCopy !req
832. 'Cause we're about to lose
our fucking company.Copy !req
833. - What the hell happened
at this lunch?Copy !req
834. - Turn that fucking thing off!Copy !req
835. Okay?Copy !req
836. Yeah, Doug?Copy !req
837. - So, my question
is actually for Mike.Copy !req
838. How are we supposed to sell
another 500,000 phonesCopy !req
839. when we are already maxed
on every network we are on?Copy !req
840. - You guys will figure it out.
- H-how?Copy !req
841. If we put more phones
on these networks,Copy !req
842. they're going to crash, period.Copy !req
843. We are not allowed
to sell more phones. Mike?Copy !req
844. - No, you don't worry
about what's allowed.Copy !req
845. I say what's allowed.Copy !req
846. - I don't even understand
what the problem is here.Copy !req
847. Who cares if this guy
wants to buy our company?Copy !req
848. Isn't that good?
- I fucking care!Copy !req
849. That's who cares? I care!Copy !req
850. I'm trying to keep this company
together, you fuck!Copy !req
851. - I'm sorry, do you even know
what a network limit load is?Copy !req
852. - Doug...Copy !req
853. - Talk to me outside
for a second.Copy !req
854. - What?Copy !req
855. - What's a network limit load?Copy !req
856. - This is impossible.
- What are we supposed toCopy !req
857. fucking do, Mike?
Either we jack our stockCopy !req
858. to the moon
or Yankowski fucks us!Copy !req
859. - Well, Doug is right.Copy !req
860. Unless the carriers
rebuild their entire networks,Copy !req
861. there's nothing we can do,
the phones use too much data.Copy !req
862. - Well, then,
fucking shrink it.Copy !req
863. - Yeah, okay. Um...Copy !req
864. We — we looked into that.
- Uh-huh?Copy !req
865. - These guys can't do it.Copy !req
866. - What do you mean
they can't do it?Copy !req
867. You said they were
the best engineers in the world.Copy !req
868. - I said they're
the best engineers in Canada.Copy !req
869. - Well, okay. All right.Copy !req
870. Who could do it.Copy !req
871. - Maybe top guys from Motorola
or Microsoft or Google.Copy !req
872. - Okay.Copy !req
873. - Wait, what? What? What?Copy !req
874. - What are you doing?
- Who else? Where else?Copy !req
875. - John Carmack.Copy !req
876. Get John Carmack from ID.Copy !req
877. Did you guys hear me?Copy !req
878. The guy who made "Doom."Copy !req
879. - What's "Doom"?Copy !req
880. - Have you played "Wolfenstein"?Copy !req
881. Please just don't sell
any more phones.Copy !req
882. - Can you hear me?
- Yes! Yes!Copy !req
883. - Oh, shit.Copy !req
884. Hey.Copy !req
885. - All right. Listen up,
you deadeye dumb fucks.Copy !req
886. Sorry to cut your
little vacation short here,Copy !req
887. but we got some product to move.Copy !req
888. - Product? Can we move?
- I'm sorry. What's that?Copy !req
889. Say it again.
- Well, I thought the engineersCopy !req
890. said that we maxed
out the networks.Copy !req
891. - Yeah, they did, yeah, and
that's their fucking problem.Copy !req
892. Okay? Your problem is you need
to sellCopy !req
893. a million blackberries
before Q3.Copy !req
894. - Uh. That's —
- "Uh. Uh."Copy !req
895. "Uh."Copy !req
896. I'm not fucking joking.Copy !req
897. I want them gone.Copy !req
898. Actually talking about
banning these.Copy !req
899. - Banning?
- Nobody pays attentionCopy !req
900. to meetings anymore,
they're crouched over.Copy !req
901. - Tell 'em to stop.
Okay.Copy !req
902. We call them Crackberrys.Copy !req
903. - Come work for me.Copy !req
904. I can't.
- Why?Copy !req
905. - Because I'm
under contract here.Copy !req
906. - How much to break it.Copy !req
907. - Excuse me.Copy !req
908. - How much money do you wantCopy !req
909. to break your contract
with Google?Copy !req
910. - I —Copy !req
911. - I'll give you $1 million
if you sign right now.Copy !req
912. - I am not moving to Canada.Copy !req
913. We are not having
this conversation.Copy !req
914. - $2 million.
- Stop.Copy !req
915. - $3 million.
- I need you to leave.Copy !req
916. - $10 million.Copy !req
917. - Well, you don't
have $10 million.Copy !req
918. - This is $1 million option deal.Copy !req
919. I will backdate that to when
RIM was trading at $1.Copy !req
920. Merrill just gave us
a target of $13.Copy !req
921. - Is this legal?Copy !req
922. - Carl!
- Palm-Berry!Copy !req
923. - Yeah. -Hey, listen, I can
barely hear you, buddy.Copy !req
924. - I said Palm-Berry,
isn't that great?Copy !req
925. - Listen, I'm getting
some static on the line.Copy !req
926. Can I, uh — can I —
can I call you back?Copy !req
927. - I can barely hear you.Copy !req
928. - What — Carl?
Okay. I'll call you later.Copy !req
929. - Mike? Mike LazaridisCopy !req
930. - Uh, okay. If Jim fired you,
I can't undo it.Copy !req
931. I'm sorry. I've tried.
- No, no. I just got hired.Copy !req
932. It's Paul.
- How you doing? Welcome.Copy !req
933. Where are you coming from?
- Google.Copy !req
934. - Nice. What'd you do?Copy !req
935. - I was the, uh, head of
a physical engineering.Copy !req
936. - You are not a salesmen anymore.Copy !req
937. You're male models.Copy !req
938. I want you at every
country club, yacht club,Copy !req
939. tennis club,
wherever the elite go, you go.Copy !req
940. I want them to see you using it.Copy !req
941. Be big. Be loud.Copy !req
942. Have them thinking,
"Who is this annoying prick,Copy !req
943. and how can I be more like him?"Copy !req
944. - What is that?Copy !req
945. - And when they ask you,
don't say,Copy !req
946. "It's a phone
that does email."Copy !req
947. It's not a cell phone.Copy !req
948. It's a status symbol.Copy !req
949. - Anybody else?
Anybody else? Alright.Copy !req
950. - Hi, I'm calling on behalf
of BlackBerry.Copy !req
951. I heard that you're interested
in buying some of the QuarksCopy !req
952. for your corporation.Copy !req
953. - It's 7:55. We're back
with Fox 5 Consumer News.Copy !req
954. A global BlackBerry crisis
this morning.Copy !req
955. The company says
it's experiencing massiveCopy !req
956. service interruptions.Copy !req
957. The company's helpline says
that users can expect delaysCopy !req
958. in sending
and receiving messages.Copy !req
959. - Yes, yes, we are aware
of the problemCopy !req
960. and we are — we are
sorting it out right now.Copy !req
961. - Down over there, Dougie.Copy !req
962. - We've been down for this long
before.Copy !req
963. Are we totally fucked?
- Hey! Quiet!Copy !req
964. - L-let's just keep it down
out here, guys, for a second.Copy !req
965. - How many are down?Copy !req
966. - Maybe 10,000.Copy !req
967. - Oh, Jesus. Okay.Copy !req
968. Okay.Copy !req
969. Okay. Okay.
Hello?Copy !req
970. - You have a collect call from—
- What the fuck is happening?Copy !req
971. - Will you accept the charges?Copy !req
972. Are you still there?
- Yes, I accept.Copy !req
973. - Thank you.
- Mike?Copy !req
974. - Hi.
- There are three reasons whyCopy !req
975. people buy our phones,
do you know what they are?Copy !req
976. - For email.
- They fucking work.Copy !req
977. - Yeah. Okay. It's not us, Jim.
It's the carrier.Copy !req
978. Verizon is doing
something weird.Copy !req
979. - Well, I'm about to do
something weirdCopy !req
980. if you don't fix this now!Copy !req
981. The deal was
I get the engineers,Copy !req
982. you shrink the data.
- Are you — are you —Copy !req
983. Are you selling more phones?
- What the hell do you thinkCopy !req
984. I've been doing over here, Mike!Copy !req
985. We're in the middle
of a hostile fucking takeover.Copy !req
986. Do I need to have somebody
babysit you dorks?Copy !req
987. - Okay. Okay. So that's —
Okay, uh, yeah.Copy !req
988. The entire system is crashing.
He's selling more phones.Copy !req
989. - Hey, Goddamn it!
- Yeah. Yeah.Copy !req
990. So, okay.Copy !req
991. You know, maybe just
hold off selling more ph—Copy !req
992. - I'm not fu—
God!Copy !req
993. - Okay. Sorry.
Is this technically legal?Copy !req
994. - Eugene!Copy !req
995. - I'm actually in a personal
meeting, Charles.Copy !req
996. - And I personally don't give
a flying fuck.Copy !req
997. Engineering can't do a goddamn
thing until you send that fax.Copy !req
998. Now, take a meeting when the
union isn't ripping my guts out.Copy !req
999. Do you hear me?Copy !req
1000. Get it done.Copy !req
1001. Son of a bitch.Copy !req
1002. - You said you were located
in Waterloo.Copy !req
1003. - What is that guy's name?Copy !req
1004. - Yeah. Okay.Copy !req
1005. Okay. Okay. Hey, everybody.
Welcome to Research in Motion.Copy !req
1006. I know this is
a bit disorganized.Copy !req
1007. I promise we will get
everybody settled.Copy !req
1008. So in the meantime, we're having
a bit of a network issue,Copy !req
1009. So put up your hand
if you understandCopy !req
1010. MOBITEX architecture.Copy !req
1011. Two people.Copy !req
1012. Okay. That's fine.Copy !req
1013. You two, you're with Mike.Copy !req
1014. The rest of you,
I don't know what you do,Copy !req
1015. but follow me,
we're taking a tour.Copy !req
1016. Let's go.
It's going to be a little bitCopy !req
1017. like Sam Rockwell in
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."Copy !req
1018. - Can I talk to you
for a second?Copy !req
1019. What is Charles Purdy
doing here?Copy !req
1020. - I'll get the DVD.
- What are you talking about?Copy !req
1021. - The man standing
in the hallwayCopy !req
1022. directly over my left shoulder.Copy !req
1023. - Oh, Jesus.
- Listen to me.Copy !req
1024. That guy will fuck you up.Copy !req
1025. Do not let that man
anywhere nearCopy !req
1026. your engineering department.
Trust me.Copy !req
1027. - Yeah, okay. Yeah. All right.Copy !req
1028. - I'm serious.Copy !req
1029. He will fuck your shit up.Copy !req
1030. - Can I help you?Copy !req
1031. - You're Mike, aren't you?Copy !req
1032. - Yes, I'm Mike.
What are you doing here?Copy !req
1033. - Charles Purdy.
I'm your new COO.Copy !req
1034. - Oh.
Jim hired you to be the —Copy !req
1035. Chief...
- I'm here to get this shipCopy !req
1036. under control.Copy !req
1037. - We are under control.Copy !req
1038. - Oh, really? Who's?Copy !req
1039. Hmm?Copy !req
1040. - Okay, so then let's try
something different.Copy !req
1041. Instead of shrinking the data,
maybe we spread it out.Copy !req
1042. Thank you.Copy !req
1043. - Well, why not take multiple
towers in the same zoneCopy !req
1044. and split the packet
between them?Copy !req
1045. We can put it back
together at the server.Copy !req
1046. - We tried that.
Here's the problem.Copy !req
1047. The towers don't recognize
one another.Copy !req
1048. Each one has no idea which piece
of the signal they're receiving.Copy !req
1049. And the whole process
just keeps.Copy !req
1050. - Maybe we reprogram
the towers.Copy !req
1051. - They're not our towers.
We don't control them.Copy !req
1052. - That's okay.
At Naughty Dog, we had toCopy !req
1053. hack the PlayStation to get
"Crash Bandicoot" running.Copy !req
1054. - Okay, so if each exchange
is triangulated,Copy !req
1055. we could divide
the signal three ways.Copy !req
1056. - We could actually do way,
way more.Copy !req
1057. Every BlackBerry is a server.Copy !req
1058. - We could divide the signal
between every userCopy !req
1059. in the same grid —
- Divide it by thousands.Copy !req
1060. It'll be like Napster —
distributed networkCopy !req
1061. of your own users.
- It's got to be inCopy !req
1062. the terms of service,
Hackers would be on it so fast.Copy !req
1063. - But they encrypt everything
server side, right?Copy !req
1064. Mike? I mean,
everything is already encrypted.Copy !req
1065. - Mike?Copy !req
1066. Mike.Copy !req
1067. - You can have my bacon.Copy !req
1068. - What are they paying you?Copy !req
1069. - I shouldn't say.Copy !req
1070. - They're paying me $10 Million.
- Yeah, me too.Copy !req
1071. - Hold your banner. Hold it.Copy !req
1072. And now.Copy !req
1073. Higher on that side.
- Let's get a chair over there.Copy !req
1074. - Here you go, buddy.Copy !req
1075. - Yes. Come in.Copy !req
1076. - Mr. Purdy.Copy !req
1077. Yeah, uh, so...Copy !req
1078. First of all,
sorry about before.Copy !req
1079. - Alan Lewis.Copy !req
1080. Which one of you
is Alan Lewis?Copy !req
1081. Ah, Michael's had
a breakthrough.Copy !req
1082. Now I want these tested,Copy !req
1083. and I want the report
on my desk Friday.Copy !req
1084. - When? Sorry.Copy !req
1085. - Friday.Copy !req
1086. - This looks like a whole
new relay system.Copy !req
1087. Testing this would probably
take me a month.Copy !req
1088. - Well, then you best
get started, hadn't you?Copy !req
1089. - It's bad luck to work
on movie night.Copy !req
1090. - Work on movie night...Copy !req
1091. - You're all children.
Is that it?Copy !req
1092. - Sorry. Who are you?Copy !req
1093. - You think this is funny?Copy !req
1094. Is it?Copy !req
1095. - Didn't want — just wondering,
who — who are you?Copy !req
1096. - I'm Charles Purdy.Copy !req
1097. From this moment on,
you all work for me.Copy !req
1098. And if that work is not done
at a pace that I expect,Copy !req
1099. you'll be fired.Copy !req
1100. And I'll keep firing
until this room is full of menCopy !req
1101. and not little boys playing
with their little penises.Copy !req
1102. Now, are there any questions?Copy !req
1103. - Um.Copy !req
1104. Where's Doug?Copy !req
1105. - Doug! How's it goin', bro?Copy !req
1106. - Movie night tonight.
Movie night.Copy !req
1107. - Have you seen this?Copy !req
1108. - No.
- Have you been out there?Copy !req
1109. - No.Copy !req
1110. Dude, Jim killed movie night!
Actually, what am I saying?Copy !req
1111. He didn't have the guts
to do it himself.Copy !req
1112. Apparently he got
this 300 pound dudeCopy !req
1113. to go in there, start screaming
at everybody,Copy !req
1114. said he was going to fire Alan.Copy !req
1115. Mike.Copy !req
1116. - We do — we do need
to get back to work.Copy !req
1117. - Yeah.Copy !req
1118. Do you not ever wonder
why these guys are willingCopy !req
1119. to work 80 hours a week,Copy !req
1120. never see their families,Copy !req
1121. never get any credit?Copy !req
1122. - It's because
they get to work onCopy !req
1123. the best phone in the world,
Doug.Copy !req
1124. - That must be it.Copy !req
1125. - Hello?Copy !req
1126. - You're making
a big mistake, sport.Copy !req
1127. - Yeah, sorry —
- Don't you dare fuckingCopy !req
1128. hang up on me.
- I'll call you back.Copy !req
1129. - Don't hang up on me.
Don't you fucking —Copy !req
1130. - How's everybody doing?Copy !req
1131. - Jim.Copy !req
1132. I know this isn't exactly
what you want to hear,Copy !req
1133. but this board feels thatCopy !req
1134. in order to avoid
further disruptions,Copy !req
1135. it's best we end our
relationship with BlackBerry.Copy !req
1136. - John, we're just
getting started.Copy !req
1137. - Jim, I'm serious.Copy !req
1138. We're willing to take
the hit on usersCopy !req
1139. and let them go crash
somebody else's fucking network.Copy !req
1140. It's over.Copy !req
1141. - No.Copy !req
1142. What's over is your bullshit
limit of 500,000 users.Copy !req
1143. We quadrupled it.
- Okay, Jim —Copy !req
1144. - Our engineers
reprogrammed your towers.Copy !req
1145. As of right now,
Verizon is capableCopy !req
1146. of carrying two million
blackberries at the same time,Copy !req
1147. and we've already sold
half of those.Copy !req
1148. - Bullshit.Copy !req
1149. - Try me.Copy !req
1150. - How did you do it, Mike?Copy !req
1151. - We are number one
in handset sales,Copy !req
1152. subscriptions,
customer retention,Copy !req
1153. attracting new smartphone users,
and brand recognition.Copy !req
1154. We control 30%
of the North American market.Copy !req
1155. And with the upcoming release
of the BlackBerry Bold —Copy !req
1156. we're on track to controlCopy !req
1157. 50% of the global market.Copy !req
1158. Now, our numbers are a bit below
our estimates right now,Copy !req
1159. but we are expecting a nice bumpCopy !req
1160. when the 8310
comes out in March.Copy !req
1161. - Now is probably
a good time to talk aboutCopy !req
1162. moving some of the assembly
and construction to China.Copy !req
1163. - No, no.
Take people off of Onyx,Copy !req
1164. if you need more bodies,
hire more people.Copy !req
1165. We're not moving
to fucking China.Copy !req
1166. - All right.
- All right.Copy !req
1167. Oh, my God.Copy !req
1168. What?Copy !req
1169. Uh, that's a good spot to leave
it for today, guys, thank you.Copy !req
1170. - Hey, where's Jim?Copy !req
1171. - Why?
- He's not answering my emails.Copy !req
1172. - Well, we're pitching the
trackpad to Verizon on Friday,Copy !req
1173. so he's probably
working on that.Copy !req
1174. I'm in a meeting!Copy !req
1175. - And I really believe thatCopy !req
1176. Vasily —
' is that how you say it?Copy !req
1177. Or something like that?
You know, he was in there.Copy !req
1178. He says, I've heard guys screw
up my name, but worse than you.Copy !req
1179. Anyhow, he's a patriot.
He really does —Copy !req
1180. He's a hockey guy
that really wants —Copy !req
1181. there's no big money.
That doesn't mean —Copy !req
1182. He's a hockey guy. He plays...Copy !req
1183. - No, don't!Copy !req
1184. - Hello?Copy !req
1185. - Hand the phone to Jim.Copy !req
1186. - Who's this?
- It's Jack ManishenCopy !req
1187. in marketing —
it's important.Copy !req
1188. - Jack Manishen, marketing.Copy !req
1189. - Yeah, Mike can handle it.Copy !req
1190. - Maybe you could speak
to Mr. Lazaridis.Copy !req
1191. - He does not want me going to
Mike with this.Copy !req
1192. At least tell me
where you're going.Copy !req
1193. - He wants to know
where we're going.Copy !req
1194. - Hang up.Copy !req
1195. - So, three things:Copy !req
1196. A widescreen iPod
with touch controls,Copy !req
1197. a revolutionary mobile phone,Copy !req
1198. and a breakthrough Internet
communications device.Copy !req
1199. An iPod, a phone,Copy !req
1200. and an Internet
communicator.Copy !req
1201. An iPod...Copy !req
1202. A phone...Copy !req
1203. Are you getting it?Copy !req
1204. These are not
three separate devices.Copy !req
1205. This is one device.Copy !req
1206. And we are calling it...Copy !req
1207. iPhone.Copy !req
1208. Here's four smart phones, right?Copy !req
1209. Motorola Q, the BlackBerry,
Palm Treo,Copy !req
1210. Nokia E62 —
the usual suspects.Copy !req
1211. They all have these keyboards
that are there,Copy !req
1212. whether you need them or not
to be there.Copy !req
1213. And they all have
these control buttonsCopy !req
1214. that are fixed in plastic.
- Why would anybodyCopy !req
1215. want a phone without
a keyboard?Copy !req
1216. - Well, what we're going to do
is get rid of all these buttonsCopy !req
1217. and just make a giant screen.Copy !req
1218. A giant screen.Copy !req
1219. And when we start
shipping in June,Copy !req
1220. we'll be selling iPhone
through our own storesCopy !req
1221. and through Cingular stores.
And it's my pleasureCopy !req
1222. to introduce the CEO
of Cingular,Copy !req
1223. Stan Sigman.Copy !req
1224. - Are you fucking kidding me?
- What?Copy !req
1225. - That's Stan Sigman.
That's the CEO of AT&T.Copy !req
1226. - You know, Steve and I
first met about two years agoCopy !req
1227. in New York City
when he shared with meCopy !req
1228. this vision
that he had for this product.Copy !req
1229. - This fuckin' guy.
- And we've been working on itCopy !req
1230. for a long time and actually —
All right, everybody, That's it.Copy !req
1231. Fun time's over.
Back to work.Copy !req
1232. I need a prototype of the Bold
in my hand by FridayCopy !req
1233. with a working trackpad.Copy !req
1234. Thank you.Copy !req
1235. - That's crazy.Copy !req
1236. Yellow.Copy !req
1237. - Hi. Is this Douglas?
- Yeah, yeah.Copy !req
1238. - I'm from the Securities
and Exchange Commission,Copy !req
1239. and I was wondering if you
could answer some questionsCopy !req
1240. for me.
- Sure. Okay. Check the knock.Copy !req
1241. - Were you involved in the
hiring of a Mr. Paul Stanos?Copy !req
1242. - Sorry. You're from where?Copy !req
1243. - I'm from the SEC.Copy !req
1244. - It's a serious call?Copy !req
1245. - Yes.Copy !req
1246. - Yeah.
You called the wrong person.Copy !req
1247. I can't help you
with anything like that.Copy !req
1248. - Is this Douglas Fregin?Copy !req
1249. - Yes, ma'am.
- Sorry, I have you listed hereCopy !req
1250. as one of the founders
of the company.Copy !req
1251. - I... Yeah, I guess I am not.
Uh...Copy !req
1252. - Doug?Copy !req
1253. - I got to go.Copy !req
1254. - I'm sorry.Copy !req
1255. Unknown number?
- No.Copy !req
1256. - Mr. Balsillie?
- Yes.Copy !req
1257. - Welcome to the NHL.Copy !req
1258. - Thanks for having me.Copy !req
1259. - Nice to meet you.
Just this way.Copy !req
1260. - Okay, great.Copy !req
1261. - Right in here.Copy !req
1262. - Yeah. Good to see you.
Thank you for taking the time.Copy !req
1263. - Oh, I've always got time
for you, Gary.Copy !req
1264. Get me on the phone
with Copps Coliseum.Copy !req
1265. - It's at the arena
in Hamilton.Copy !req
1266. - Yeah. Tell 'em
I want to buy it.Copy !req
1267. - Okay. So I thought you were
buying the Pittsburgh Penguins.Copy !req
1268. - Yes, I am. Let's go.Copy !req
1269. - Okay, we got to go.
- One sec.Copy !req
1270. This is it.
This is good enough.Copy !req
1271. This is good.
- This is good enough?Copy !req
1272. - Apple is launching
a marketplace for applications.Copy !req
1273. It's going to be
third party developers.Copy !req
1274. Any — any — any — anyone —Copy !req
1275. - This is bad.
Bad time, bad time, bad time.Copy !req
1276. - Bad time.
- Third party developers.Copy !req
1277. - Hey, man.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1278. - It's laggy as hell.
- Good enough.Copy !req
1279. Good enough.
- Okay, now.Copy !req
1280. - Yeah, we got it.
- Doug, come on.Copy !req
1281. They're launching
an application marketplace.Copy !req
1282. - Okay.
So the touchpad is working.Copy !req
1283. I don't know if I would say
that it's working-working.Copy !req
1284. - What?Copy !req
1285. - Do you have a suit?Copy !req
1286. - 2.4 inches,
480 by 360 HVGA screen,Copy !req
1287. and to top it all off,Copy !req
1288. the world's first trackpad,
which we believe will beCopy !req
1289. the dominant navigational
device for all mobile devicesCopy !req
1290. within the next two years.Copy !req
1291. The BlackBerry Bold.Copy !req
1292. - That's it?Copy !req
1293. - Uh-huh.Copy !req
1294. - That — that's what you got
for us?Copy !req
1295. A trackpad?Copy !req
1296. - Uh...Copy !req
1297. - Y-you guys see Apple's thing?Copy !req
1298. Any reaction to that?
- Plenty. Yeah.Copy !req
1299. It's an overdesigned,
trying-to-do-too-much toyCopy !req
1300. that will crash any network
gullible enough to take it on.Copy !req
1301. It is, by every metric,Copy !req
1302. the exact opposite of everything
we do at Research in Motion.Copy !req
1303. Less data, no frills,
reliable network.Copy !req
1304. Okay, that's BlackBerry.Copy !req
1305. - Sexy slogan, Mike.Copy !req
1306. - So, I guess you just want
to kill your whole network?Copy !req
1307. Because that's what it would do.Copy !req
1308. - Yeah. The iPhone, they put
a keyboard right on the screen.Copy !req
1309. - And it's the stupidest thing
I've ever seenCopy !req
1310. in my entire life.Copy !req
1311. Ask anyone what they love most
about their BlackBerryCopy !req
1312. and you will get the same answer
every single time:Copy !req
1313. The keyboard, the click.
OkayCopy !req
1314. Th-this —
- Well...Copy !req
1315. Yeah, yeah.
- This entire marketCopy !req
1316. was born
of our innovation,Copy !req
1317. our idea to put a keyboard
on a phone.Copy !req
1318. We did that. We built that
from a pile of garbage in 1996.Copy !req
1319. - So, there's another sloganCopy !req
1320. I don't know, Mike.Copy !req
1321. AT&T's got Apple,
we were kind of hopingCopy !req
1322. you'd come in here
with an iPhone killer.Copy !req
1323. - I —
I don't need to kill itCopy !req
1324. because it's going
to commit suicideCopy !req
1325. and it's going to take down
the whole fuckingCopy !req
1326. Cingular network with it.Copy !req
1327. I'm giving you gold,Copy !req
1328. and I think you're
all misunderstanding it.Copy !req
1329. Uh...Copy !req
1330. I created this entire
product class.Copy !req
1331. I created this
entire fucking market.Copy !req
1332. I created this entire
product class.Copy !req
1333. So listen to me —
the trackpad is a mouse pad.Copy !req
1334. Uh —Copy !req
1335. Built into the phone.Copy !req
1336. - Yeah.Copy !req
1337. And...
Right. Okay.Copy !req
1338. Yeah. Okay.
Good enough.Copy !req
1339. Thanks, guys, for coming down.
Tell you what.Copy !req
1340. Let us — we'll we'll talk
about this internally.Copy !req
1341. We'll get back to you, okay?Copy !req
1342. Tell Jim we missed him.Copy !req
1343. - Let's go.Copy !req
1344. - He's back. Back in Waterloo,
working because...Copy !req
1345. So, he promised me
not to mention...Copy !req
1346. the other thing.Copy !req
1347. We're not quite there yet.Copy !req
1348. But we're working on
something pretty top secret.Copy !req
1349. He made me promise
not to mention it, um..Copy !req
1350. Prototype, we're still a few
weeks out, uh,Copy !req
1351. but, you know,Copy !req
1352. I can demo it
with our Bold prototype.Copy !req
1353. So it's still a BlackBerry.Copy !req
1354. It's our BlackBerry.
So you —Copy !req
1355. Except for where —
where we have keys here,Copy !req
1356. um, screen, the whole thing
is a screen, except ours,Copy !req
1357. when you press it, you'll get
that that satisfying click,Copy !req
1358. that BlackBerry click,
our trademark click.Copy !req
1359. So, screen, keyboard, phone.Copy !req
1360. Screen, keyboard, phone.Copy !req
1361. Screen, keyboard, phone.Copy !req
1362. Are you getting it?Copy !req
1363. - Mike. Mike?
What the fuck was that, dude!Copy !req
1364. - Where is this fucking limo?Copy !req
1365. - Capacity max is at 17,000,
but we can enhance itCopy !req
1366. to 19,000
without too much trouble.Copy !req
1367. - All right. I want all this
basketball shit gone.Copy !req
1368. From now on,
this place is a permanent rink.Copy !req
1369. We can't do that.
- Why?Copy !req
1370. - We have active contracts
with a dozen clients.Copy !req
1371. - Cancel 'em.
- Yeah, but there's going to —Copy !req
1372. - I'll pay the fines.Copy !req
1373. I want that
to be my personal box.Copy !req
1374. - That's not a box.Copy !req
1375. That's not a box.Copy !req
1376. - No, no, no.Copy !req
1377. Okay, so it's a screen,Copy !req
1378. but it needs a raised hinge
or actuator,Copy !req
1379. as I wrote, between it
and the bodyCopy !req
1380. so the entire device clicks
when you press on it.Copy !req
1381. - Wait. What?Copy !req
1382. - I'm just wondering why
we want to do that.Copy !req
1383. - That — that — that —
is not the questionCopy !req
1384. you ask me here.
I don't —Copy !req
1385. "Why" does not matter to you?
Okay?Copy !req
1386. Because I said so.Copy !req
1387. Because that's what I sold.
Okay?Copy !req
1388. Who are you, by the way?Copy !req
1389. - Easy, Mike.Copy !req
1390. - Oh, come on, guys, please.Copy !req
1391. Silent mode!
When we're at the office.Copy !req
1392. Charles!Copy !req
1393. - Phones off.
- Sorry. Sorry, Mike.Copy !req
1394. Sorry, everybody.Copy !req
1395. - Okay, so you know what I think
all this is,Copy !req
1396. is we're trying to do the old
BlackBerry clickCopy !req
1397. while embracing
the new iPhone screen.Copy !req
1398. That's all.
- No, no, no.Copy !req
1399. We're not embracing
anything to do with Apple!Copy !req
1400. Guys!Copy !req
1401. It's really not hard.Copy !req
1402. Okay? We pay you a lot of money.Copy !req
1403. This is really not hard.Copy !req
1404. It's a keyboard on a screen,Copy !req
1405. on a keyboard.Copy !req
1406. And I don't care
what you think of it.Copy !req
1407. - Mike.Copy !req
1408. Fuck is Doug talking about.Copy !req
1409. Embracing what Apple is doing?Copy !req
1410. I don't understand.Copy !req
1411. - You come back from New YorkCopy !req
1412. talking about
a brand new phone, right?Copy !req
1413. Prototype in a week.
What are we doing here?Copy !req
1414. - Can I talk to you?
- It's a prototype,Copy !req
1415. Charles, I can build
the fucking thing myselfCopy !req
1416. in a night if I had to.
- We still got to shipCopy !req
1417. the goddamn thing.
- I said use the Onyx —Copy !req
1418. - I did! On curve!Copy !req
1419. All right, China.Copy !req
1420. It's the only way
this gets done.Copy !req
1421. I'm sorry, China.Copy !req
1422. - Yeah. Fuck it. Do it.Copy !req
1423. China.Copy !req
1424. China. Let's do it.
- Wait. No, no.Copy !req
1425. He doesn't mean that.
- Hey, hey, hey. Don't —Copy !req
1426. Don't speak for me.
- But, Mike, what are you doing?Copy !req
1427. - What am I doing? I'm trying to
keep our biggestCopy !req
1428. fucking customer, what the fuck
are you doing?Copy !req
1429. - Mike, I'm trying to help you.
- You're not though.Copy !req
1430. You're not.
You're not helping me.Copy !req
1431. This doesn't help me.Copy !req
1432. If you can help me,
we wouldn't be here.Copy !req
1433. I don't need your fucking
help anymore, okay?Copy !req
1434. You're fucking useless!Copy !req
1435. - Okay.Copy !req
1436. - Figure out ChinaCopy !req
1437. Figure out China.Copy !req
1438. And I'll build
the fucking thing myself.Copy !req
1439. Fuck.Copy !req
1440. What?
- Is this Mike Lazaridis?Copy !req
1441. - Who's — Who's this?
- My name is Dara Frankel.Copy !req
1442. I'm from the SEC.
Do you have a second?Copy !req
1443. - Not really. Not right now.
What is this about?Copy !req
1444. - I'm trying to track down
some informationCopy !req
1445. on some stock options
your company issued.Copy !req
1446. - Well, that's not — I wouldn't
know anything about that.Copy !req
1447. I think you'd want
to talk to Jim.Copy !req
1448. - Okay.
Would there be a good timeCopy !req
1449. to come in and talk about this?Copy !req
1450. - No, I don't — no.Copy !req
1451. - Okay. I'm here.Copy !req
1452. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here.Copy !req
1453. - Jack Manishen says
he needs to see you.Copy !req
1454. - Okay. Yeah. Where is he?Copy !req
1455. - Camped outside your office.
- Great.Copy !req
1456. - Shell, do me a favor.Copy !req
1457. Reach out to Carl Yankowski's
office and let him knowCopy !req
1458. that Jim Balsillie's got
opening night ticketsCopy !req
1459. to the Hamilton Penguins
for him.Copy !req
1460. I know how much
he loves hockey.Copy !req
1461. All right, all right. Relax.
You got me.Copy !req
1462. - That same woman from the SEC
keeps calling.Copy !req
1463. Can I give her your number?
- No.Copy !req
1464. - Okay, so first quarter,
second quarter, third quarter.Copy !req
1465. Fourth quarter.Copy !req
1466. And this is us.Copy !req
1467. - Whose numbers are these?Copy !req
1468. - Apple's internal projections.Copy !req
1469. - They released the numbers
on Friday.Copy !req
1470. - $500 fully subsidized?Copy !req
1471. This is the most expensive
phone in the world.Copy !req
1472. - It has the highest
consumer interestCopy !req
1473. of any product in history.Copy !req
1474. We're going to go from
number one phone in the worldCopy !req
1475. to that phone that people had
before they bought an iPhone.Copy !req
1476. - It's gonna be fine.
Mike'll figure it out.Copy !req
1477. What?Copy !req
1478. - Hey, um...Copy !req
1479. Why is the SEC looking at us?Copy !req
1480. - They called you?Copy !req
1481. - Yeah. Something —
Something about stock options?Copy !req
1482. - I'm sure it's nothing. Yeah.Copy !req
1483. - It — It's nothing?Copy !req
1484. - Yeah. What's with this
Apple thing?Copy !req
1485. - What—What about it?Copy !req
1486. - Are we worried?
- No.Copy !req
1487. - Okay. Why?Copy !req
1488. - Because one of them
uses as much dataCopy !req
1489. as 5,000 BlackBerrys.Copy !req
1490. Because it has no keyboard.
Because the thing is a joke.Copy !req
1491. - So why are people telling me
that they're about to kill us?Copy !req
1492. - Because they're idiots.Copy !req
1493. - Get me a meeting
with Stan Sigman at AT&T.Copy !req
1494. - What are you doing?Copy !req
1495. - Okay, so the soonest
I can get is next month.Copy !req
1496. His office said he's
leaving for vacation today.Copy !req
1497. - Tell him I'm coming
to Atlanta right now.Copy !req
1498. Let's go. Let's go!Copy !req
1499. Tell them we'll be there
in an hour.Copy !req
1500. - Hey, it's —Copy !req
1501. - Gary, how are you?Copy !req
1502. - Good. We're ready
to go over here.Copy !req
1503. How soon can
you get to New York?Copy !req
1504. - Great, uh... Anytime tomorrow.Copy !req
1505. - How about today?Copy !req
1506. - That might be
a little tight for me.Copy !req
1507. - I've got the board here now,
and I don't knowCopy !req
1508. when they're all going
to be together again.Copy !req
1509. - If you want to wait,
up to you.Copy !req
1510. It's your deal.Copy !req
1511. - Yeah. No, that works, Gary.Copy !req
1512. I'll — Yeah, I'll be there.Copy !req
1513. - Looking forward to it.Copy !req
1514. - Okay. Alright. Bye.Copy !req
1515. Change of plans.
We're going to JFK.Copy !req
1516. - We're dialed in.Copy !req
1517. - Listen to me, you mouthy fuck!Copy !req
1518. If I say we're going to JFK,
we're going to JFK!Copy !req
1519. Do you understand?Copy !req
1520. - So we're—we're not meeting
with Sigman, then?Copy !req
1521. - I'm doing it all.Copy !req
1522. - Hey!Copy !req
1523. Fuck.Copy !req
1524. - Where's Jim?
- I have no idea.Copy !req
1525. - C'mon, we got
to get you out of here.Copy !req
1526. - What? Why?
- SEC is raiding us.Copy !req
1527. - Wait, what?Copy !req
1528. - Give me your phone.Copy !req
1529. - Where's your goddamn phone?Copy !req
1530. - Mike Lazaridis?Copy !req
1531. - Can you handle this?Copy !req
1532. Who are you?
- We spoke on the phone.Copy !req
1533. You want to come and answer
some questions?Copy !req
1534. - Sure. Sure.Copy !req
1535. After me, is it? Okay.Copy !req
1536. - Okay.Copy !req
1537. - Okay, what?
What are they doing?Copy !req
1538. That's — That's — No, no.Copy !req
1539. They can't touch
any of that stuff.Copy !req
1540. They —Copy !req
1541. - Passwords on everything.
- Oh.Copy !req
1542. What's the password, Mike?Copy !req
1543. - Am I required
to give that to you?Copy !req
1544. - No.Copy !req
1545. Are you hiding something?Copy !req
1546. - Um...Copy !req
1547. Should I not have a lawyer
or something with me for this?Copy !req
1548. - Do you think you need a lawyer?Copy !req
1549. - Jim.Copy !req
1550. - Gary, what's going on?Copy !req
1551. You got me —
got me waiting out here.Copy !req
1552. - Jim, look, we're not going to
waste your time here, okay?Copy !req
1553. It's not going to happen
with you and the Penguins.Copy !req
1554. - What?Copy !req
1555. - We held a vote with the other
owners and unfortunately,Copy !req
1556. it went against you, 26 to 0.Copy !req
1557. - Hold on a second.
Hold on, hold on.Copy !req
1558. I thought we had a deal.Copy !req
1559. When did the other owners
even get...?Copy !req
1560. I'm sorry.
What changed here, man?Copy !req
1561. - The owners did not find youCopy !req
1562. to be of good
character and integrity.Copy !req
