SETI

Halt and Catch Fire 2×1

& Lev: «Parallax» keeps crashing because his version of backgammon is too big.
    Kenneth: No frickin’ way!
    Donna: Well, how big is it?
    Kenneth: Over 500K.
    Lev: Why does backgammon have to be half a meg? It’s a square with some circles and some triangles.
    Kenneth: [It could be all the colors.] Color is good.
    Lev: Hello, our games have to run on phone lines, not on a plastic cartridge with a crap ton of memory.

& Commercial: «..... And now introducing the Giant’s golden egg... the Giant Professional. Up to three times faster than the IBM XT. And with better graphical capability than the Apple Macintosh, the Giant Pro puts your business at the top of the stalk.»

& Joe: I’m going to start my own company.
    — That’s great. Here?
    Joe: No, in California. In Silicon Valley.

& Joe: Sara: My point is, the past is past, but tomorrow is tomorrow.

& Announcer: The winner is F. Murray Abraham.
    Bartender: Shoot, Eddie Murphy should’ve won for «Beverly Hills Cop.» I don’t know who that Salieri is.
    Gordon: That’s the whole point... He’s not Mozart.

& Donna: Look at this. Their «Tank Battle» round timed out 15 minutes ago and they’re still talking to each other in the chatbox.
    Lev: Well, I’ve seen users do it longer.
    Donna: They’re paying five bucks an hour just so they can talk about what they’re doing over spring break?

& Fence: You want the XTs or not? ....
    Cameron: Yeah, okay, we’ll take them.
    Fence: Three grand.
    Cameron: Aw, 500.
    Fence: These things list for 7,500 each.
    Cameron: Yeah, we’re not paying list.
Fence: That’s pretty ballsy, the two of you out here alone...
    Cameron: Yeah.

& Fence: You ladies look me up post-Armageddon. Especially you, Mrs. Garrett.

& Joanie: Daddy, are we rich now?
    Gordon: I’m not quite sure how to answer that question, sweetheart...
    Joanie: Well, are we millionaires?

& Joanie: If we’re rich now, then why does Mommy have to work so late?
    Gordon: You know what? That’s a good question...

& Cameron: So... you think I should be the boss.

& Donna: Look, I’ve been watching people chat on the network while they’re playing, sometimes even after for hours on end, and I think there’s a real opportunity for a community to exist outside the games...
Ω Bingo!

& Donna: Hey, that little shit has two brand-new XTs back here in boxes... Leave the money, just grab the gear.
