Heaven Is a Place

Halt and Catch Fire 2×10

& Donna: This is time-sharing. This is the name of the game. You know... look, we’ll counter Telenet, we’ll do the dance.
    Cameron: No, screw the dance. I want to change the music.

& Brendan: Gordon?
    Gordon: Uh, ahem, 0.28.
    Brendan: That’s pretty low. Must’ve been a good week.
    Gordon: Yeah, nothing to report....
    Brendan: What registered the .28 of stress?
    Gordon: Oh, uh, I couldn’t find my glasses.

& — I’m gonna stop you right there. Now, you brought Westgroup into tech recently, right? WestNet? All that?
    Joe: I transitioned Westgroup into time-sharing and helped them realize a dormant passive income stream.
    — So why did you torch it?

& — What I want to know is... why? Also how? Some destructive program? Right? A virus or something? You know, I looked into you, what you did at Cardiff. Immolating 100 computers out by Lake Texoma... Holy shit. I am blown away. I’ve never met a legitimate psychopath before.

& Cameron: We should buy this. IBM 3033 mainframe. It’s a refurbish job. It needs a little love, but then we’d own it. No more network partners.

& Donna: If you want to drive a submarine, you gotta join the Navy. Yeah, you might have to salute somebody every once in a while, but I... it’s better than buying a rickety old diesel boat that sinks you to the bottom of the ocean.

& Joe: Boy, it seems like yesterday, doesn’t it?
    Gordon: Yeah, it seems like forever ago.

& Donna: Oh, God, I am ready for this day to be over.

& Cameron: Listen, I don’t want to add to your misery here, but the coffeemaker is broken, so... I think we should move to California.
Ω Hello, Silicon Valley?

& Cameron: Here. The diesel sub. Look, if we can’t bring the mainframe to Mutiny, maybe we bring Mutiny to the mainframe.

& Gordon: I just came by to give you this. I went into the Sonaris code, fixed the missing branch error. Not only that, this version targets older copies. It eradicates them. I muscled it up some, too, so it’ll inoculate machines from future infection. I mean, it’s... it’s one hell of an antidote.

& Gordon: So what is this, extortion?
    Donna: No, it’s an investment.

& Joe: Do you know what a vaccine is? It’s not medicine; it’s a little bit of the virus. You take a little bit of something bad so you can never be hurt like that again. Check it out.
Ω MacMillan as... MsAfee?

& Joe: The real security is trusting no one.

& Gordon: You know... we could be happy again. I really believe that.

& Bosworth: All right, ladies. You know, I never thought I’d say this... but I guess it’s time to move out to the Left Coast.
