Halt and Catch Fire 2×5

& Cameron: ...If you were impersonating the cyborg sent to kill Sarah Connor.
    Tom: Oh, damn, that came out today. ... You, me, «Terminator,» tonight.

& Tom: Look, it’s good guys versus bad guys.
    Cameron: Yeah, but why are they bad?
    Tom: Why do we care?
    Cameron: What’s the context? ... You have to create something here that’s gonna consume people for hours...

& Gordon: You’re Joe MacMillan. You could talk him into jumping off a bridge if you wanted to. Just decide to do it and do it.

& Donna: Do you remember Joe MacMillan?
    Lev: Sure, Admiral Eyebrows...
    Donna: What?
    Lev: That’s what we called him. You didn’t call him that?

& Donna: You’ve been flirting.
    Lev: So?
    Donna: Lev, this is good. This is really good. We’re gonna make a room where you can meet people online.
    Arki: Meet?.. Like girls?
    Donna: Yes. Yes! We’ll do a personals room where you meet and then you go into a private room, like a date.
    Tom: She got the idea from Lev ’cause he’s been talking to someone online.

& Joe: ...People talk about the computer revolution as if it were a thing of the past, but I grew up running around IBM. This business is in my blood, and believe me when I tell you... the revolution hasn’t even started yet.
Ω Oh, yeah.

& Joe: The hardware wars are over. The future is in connection.

& Jacob: So, tell me, how does someone get good at something like that?
    Cameron: Uh... How did Gretzky get good at hockey?
    Jacob: Practice.
    Cameron: And?
    Jacob: And a whole lot of God-given talent.
    Cameron: It’s your words, not mine.

& Gordon: You guys wanna go have some fun with your dad?
    Joanie: What do you mean?
    Gordon: I don’t know. You tell me. We can do anything you want.
    Joanie: Let’s go to Grandma and Grandpa’s and play video games!
    Gordon: You don’t understand. We could do anything. We could go to the park, we could go to the zoo... we could go to the movies, you know? You name it. Huh?
    Joanie: Um, let’s go to Grandma and Grandpa’s.

& Susan: They are positively obsessed with this thing Gary brought back from his trip. The Japs love him. Gave him one of those arcade game video things you plug into your TV. It’s not being released until the fall. Hey, sweethearts, what is that contraption called?
    — Nintendo!!
    Susan: It’s a bunch of little men fighting turtles or something. I don’t... can’t follow it. I don’t understand the appeal.

& Cameron: Joe, always a pleasure.

& Bosworth: I’ll be here first thing tomorrow with a fat wad of cash and a hefty tip. You have my word.
    Manager: Well, can’t she pay?
    Bosworth: No, she cannot pay. She is my date.
    Manager: Come on, man. It’s 1985.

& Tom: This is how it should start. You should have to crawl through a ventilation shaft or something...
